Digital Expertise

From social media posts to websites, content strategy to channel-tailored writing, I draw on 8 years of experience in the digital world.

Storytelling

Getting your message across is about engagement and engagement begins with a story. I can help you craft and tell yours, no matter the audience.

Project Management

From kick-off to post-mortem I strive to facilitate the best possible work from all stakeholders on all projects I touch.

Who is Anthony Charron?


Anthony CharronI couple a decade of experience in creating engaging, strategic communications in corporate, digital agency and media work with a innate desire to do the best job possible, no matter the task.

For the past eight years, I've lived in the digital space as a communications advisor, content analyst and web editor across the gamut of projects, from ad copy to from-scratch website creation.

I understand the content needs for digital and traditional channels and also how to tailor the messaging to get the best out of each of them.

If you need to sit down and come up with a creative way to get your point across, I can help. I can then work with the designers, developers, advertisers, engineers, executive team members, managers, third-party vendors, legal team, business analysts, readers, IT, account managers or whoever needs to be involved to make that idea a reality as quickly and as efficiently as possible.

George Loos Ecommunication Manager at Encana Corporation

I have worked with Anthony for the last four years. Upon joining Encana Anthony quickly developed a number of key collaborative relationships across the company, positioning himself as the go-to project lead for our bigger publishing projects.

Kathe Lemon Editor in Chief, Avenue magazine (on leave)

In the several years I worked with Tony I found him to be self-motivated, reliable and dedicated. He consistently produced high quality work as a writer and editor. He was a strong mentor for interns and junior members of the team. He was also happy to take on new challenges and was a proactive problem solver. All of this meant that he was able to move up within a relatively small team. Beyond all of that, he was also a lot of fun to work with and given the opportunity I would hire him again without reservation.

Dean Paddock Manager, Corporate Communications at TD

Tony played an integral role in the evolution of Communications at Encana Corporation. His ability to lead and develop high quality print materials is a perfect match with his understanding of social and digital. Tony transitions seamlessly between highly technical analysis and reporting, to creative outputs that put reader engagement and fun first. Tony is a fantastic team player and I hope to work with him again in the future.

Adam Trinh Web Communications Specialist at Bow Valley College

In a city full of writers, Tony stands above. His ability to interpret challenges into actionable solutions is invaluable. He consistently demonstrates a wealth of knowledge in traditional and digital media, as well as the drive to stay current on new formats. His natural talents and curiosity often leads him down a path of being the “guy who knows everything” — a badge he’d wear proudly if it meant helping others — and something I greatly valued when I worked for him as a web intern at Avenue magazine. My career would not what it is today without Tony’s guidance and influence.

Geoff Oliver Digital Communications Advisor, Encana Corporation

In a world often full of ideas that fall short on execution, Anthony stands out as a someone who consistently turns great ideas into productive reality. I have had the pleasure of working closely with Anthony for over three years, and can honestly say that his easy-going personality blends well in any culture, team and industry.

Jeffrey Gibson Senior Brand Advisor at Encana Corporation

I’ve worked with Tony for several years – he’s quite possibly the nicest, funniest and most talented guy I know. He can sift through the weeds to surface important information, manage complex timelines and projects, and make complicated messages understandable to a variety of audiences  – all while building strong and lasting relationships.

Sheila Smith Senior Administrative Assistant to the Vice President of Communications at Encana

I had the opportunity to work with Tony for the past few years, he was an outstanding contributor to our team who consistently produced high-quality work. Tony is a reliable and intelligent individual with a good sense of humor and sensitive demeanor. I have a great deal of respect and appreciation for Tony!

Spencer Forgo Senior Communications Advisor at ATCO Group

Tony is both a skilled project manager and collaborative communicator. He demonstrates a remarkable ability to interpret client needs and develop actionable communications strategies. His experience in digital and conventional communications projects makes him an invaluable member of any team.

Sean Young Communications Specialist at Golder Associates

I worked with Tony for more than a year at Avenue Magazine in Calgary. I was fresh out of journalism school with very little experience working in a professional environment. I owe a great deal of the success I’ve experienced in my field (communications) to the mentoring Tony provided me in the early days of my career. His patience, passion for the work, and caring demeanour are things I continue to recognize as qualities essential to exceptional leadership—and for Tony, these traits are innate. I still routinely seek career advice from Tony, more than six years after I was introduced to my manager at Avenue. He is truly a once-in-a-lifetime-boss who elevates the quality of any team he is a part of.
