Philippe Leclerc, Interactive Communications Manager, City of Regina
Phillipe Leclerc has been working in the Interactive field for 13 years. His work as Interactive Communications Manager for the City of Regina has been to help implement a full scale social media program as part of its regular communications operations. The City’s social media strategy is to use the tools to extend and complement existing communication channels and customer service initiatives. The tools have also proved to be a valuable resource for citizens when a story or event is not “big” enough to gain the attention of traditional media.
Today, the City of Regina maintains a thriving Facebook page, Twitter account and YouTube channel.
