Who We Are

Yes, it’s another “about us” page

PrideAM was launched in the UK in 2015, as the first LGBTQ+ body for the marketing and brand communications industries. A voluntary and not-for-profit organization, it is our aim to improve the experience, support and representation of LGBTQ+ people both within the industry and beyond. With such great success in the U.K, Scott Knox brought the organization to Canada in the fall of 2019.


I believe that telling our stories, first to ourselves and then to one another and the world, is a revolutionary act
