Borjana
Slipicevic

Allison Aitken
Revolutionary Organizer
• Though not especially adept at waterboarding, has ways of making you talk
• Can make bad PR disappear into a Montreal snowbank

Jessica Sanchez
Propagandist

• Metalhead
• A whale customer in bookstores across the planet
• Was born in a tropical country but, for some reason, prefers it cold
Rosemary Newton
Propagandist
• Like most Vancouverites, enjoys the outdoors. Unlike most Vancouverites, has a wardrobe that includes many pieces not made by MEC and Patagonia
• Will pack away pastries if given the opportunity
• Has spent a considerable amount of time traveling while blonde. (We mean it, she even wrote about her experiences doing this in Canada’s newspaper of record).
Lauren Khalil
Propagandist
• Has been on the no-fly list
• Of Pakistani and Jamaican lineage but somehow blonde
• Aims to one day leave the agency to toil long, horrific hours in a food truck (which may say something about this Dickensian salt mine of a PR firm)
• Has a very expressive face – not an ideal thing for illegal border crossings and working with annoying clients
• Collects degrees as opposed to cheaper things like bottle caps or stamps.
