We support communications professionals from every industry sector including most of the Financial Post 250 and Les Affaires 500, PR agencies, non-profits and governmental organizations of all sizes. Our broad range of services share one common aim – to help our clients become more efficient, effective, and ultimately more successful in their field of expertise.

Since its founding in 1955, Cision Canada, formerly Bowdens Media Monitoring, has grown along with the communications industries it serves, evolving from its simple start to its present-day status as one of the world’s most extensive media intelligence and information services companies.

As Bowdens, the company was acquired in 2001 by Observer – the largest, publicly traded media intelligence firm in the world. In 2004, Bowdens acquired Verbatim and NewsWatch. In April 2007, Bowdens and all Observer Group companies became Cision. Cision operates globally, and has a presence in more than a dozen countries worldwide.

The Cision Management Team brings together individuals with a broad range of expertise and education, providing superior quality of service to the clients whom they serve. Cision Canada is headquartered in Toronto, with offices across the country – for more information, visit our office locations page.
