TORONTO, November 7, 2018 – Virtual communications and content agency Felicity today announced the addition of three new team members.

Sandra E. Martin brings to Felicity and its custom content division, Felicity Content Studios, her experience as former Editor-in-Chief of Canadian Living, founding Editor-in-Chief of Walmart Live Better, and several senior editorial roles at Today’s Parent. Martin will enhance the company’s capabilities in journalistic storytelling that resonates with target audiences.

With experience spanning across industries and marketing communications disciplines, Natali Tofiloski joins the team’s flexible work environment as account lead.

As a geriatric care consultant and social worker, Alana Warner’s expertise will enhance the firm’s 360 perspective for clients catering to the communications needs of our ageing population and their caregivers. It is expected that in Canada, nearly one quarter of the population will be ages 65+ by the year 2031.

“Felicity clients tell us how much they value our team, because they benefit from the direct counsel and work calibre of senior leaders and subject matter experts,” said Amy Laski, founder and president of Felicity. “In our nimble operating model, clients invest in brains, not bricks. Enhancing our roster with these seasoned and passionate professionals will further enable us to deliver teams tailored specifically to our clients’ needs, and to their bottom-line growth.”

Since its founding in 2011, the Felicity team has grown to include more than 40 seasoned communicators, ranging from media and influencer relations experts to consumer marketers, journalists to content strategists, digital specialists and dietitians, and more. The company works with clients such as KIND Healthy Snacks, Lindt, Hill Street Beverage Company and CAA to engage their audiences and inspire action.

Felicity is pleased to welcome the following new associates:

As a Social Worker at Toronto’s Women’s College Hospital, Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto General Hospital and Community Care Access Centre (CCAC), Alana honed both her advocacy skills and counseling technique.

Alana has been described as authentic and highly committed. She’s been sought after by the city’s top social work teams, by medical and social work students as a mentor, and by Registered Nurses as a special instructor on the subject of Avoiding Compassion Fatigue. As an independent Care Coordinator, Alana is particularly effective because she “stays close” to her clients. She’s easy to reach, easy to speak with, and communicates case insights and progress frequently.

Alana holds a Masters of Social Work (MSW) degree from The Wurzweiler School of Social Work in New York, where she specialized in patient and family therapy. Her commitment to continuing education keeps Alana at the forefront of her profession, thereby ensuring her clients receive the very best.
