Reviews
Government Relations Assistance
As the owner of a busy lobby firm, I often am juggling various clients and files at the same time. Being able to contract the services of Lisa Jibson at Ross Street Agency has been invaluable. Her background in government and her years of administrative experience allow her to jump in a project mid-way and deliver what I need, whether it is background research, briefs to government officials, or organizing details for events. She understands my needs and always provides a professional end result.

Professional Wordsmith
Lisa from Ross Street Agency helped me assess my skill set and reform how I communicated my career accomplishments, which allowed her to create a new skill- based resume for me. My revised resume played a noteworthy role in pursuing and securing my new career as a firefighter for the City of Toronto. I am grateful for Lisa’s assistance, her wordsmith abilities, and creativity in presenting my abilities in a fresh, new manner.
Policy Writing
I have engaged Ross Street Agency for 2 projects recently and Lisa went above and beyond to deliver excellent results!! I would definitely recommend her services!

Lisa is a mastermind of wording and an editing genius. I have technically been a stay at home mother/community advocate/volunteer for 14 years. Overnight she took my chronological resume and reworded the headlings and language to highlight my professional and personal experiences. I couldn’t stop smiling as she effectively put in writing all my years of philanthropic work and linked it to my career/academic accomplishments. I feel so confident now about my future opportunities as my CV reflects what I have to offer. Thank you so much Lisa Jibson for your support and timely response. I cannot believe what you pulled together in less than 24 hours. You made this Mom and very happy woman. Happy new year to you.
