I’ve used VLPR for many years and have always been impressed with their out-of-the-box ideas and creativity in crafting publicity strategies. Victoria’s dedication and drive always ensures that we have gotten the best results possible.

Victoria Lord is an outstanding publicist, and one of the most effective I have dealt with in more than 25 years as an independent producer. She is thorough in her approach, conscientious, hardworking and a creative thinker. I have been delighted with the results she has achieved on each of the occasions I have retained her to publicize attractions. I simply cannot conceive of presenting a show in Toronto without Victoria’s involvement.

VLPR demonstrated a clear understanding of what we needed and then proceeded, surprised and communicated the newsworthy press materials that achieved our goals. The result was spot on and I would not hesitate to partner again.

When it comes to dealing with emerging or established artists/personalities in the pop culture or political arena, Victoria is an expert in every sense of the word. She is meticulously organized, filled with stellar ideas and is such an advocate for her roster. She is relentless in her pursuit to bringing distinguished names and products to the Canadian and international media arena and brings grace and knowledge to every projects she tackles. Whenever we work together, Victoria ensures the process feels seamless.

Since contracting Victoria Lord she has leveraged her media contacts to raise the profile of St. Michael’s Choir School in print and television media within the perfect storm of our 75th anniversary year, our banner tour to Italy and our presence at the Vatican during the early weeks of the papacy of Francis I. Victoria’s professionalism and attention to detail allowed the Choir School to navigate a media whirlwind while maintaining a clear message and letting the school’s many voices have an opportunity to be heard. I look forward to a continued professional relationship with Victoria in the coming years and hope she will be with us as we celebrate the milestones to come.

We have worked with Victoria on several occasions and would definitely recommend her and her company VLPR for those in need of a talented music publicist. IRIE Fest has definitely benefitted from her work and look forward to working with her in the future.

In more than forty years of dealing with public relations people in the performing arts, I have encountered few who could match the professionalism and dedication of Victoria Lord. Especially in the non-profit arena, PR representatives often come asking for help and expecting you to give it. She comes with story ideas that make you want to give it, and then applies herself diligently to help actualize them. I have worked with her on a number of projects in Canada and abroad and in each case their successful outcome was due in significant measure to her efforts. In addition to a high level of efficiency, she brings both an engaging personality and a positive attitude to her profession.

We love working with Victoria Lord. She’s professional and she doesn’t waste time with pitches that do not suit the show. When booking segments with Victoria, I can rely on her to be meticulous about detail, and I trust that when says something is going to be done, it will be.
