If you are looking for somebody to help with your public relations campaign who better to turn to than “one of the top five political minds in the country”?
I am talking about Gerry Nicholls. OK some might debate his ranking among "political minds", but what is absolutely undeniable is that Gerry is an expert in copy writing, issue advertising, media relations, political strategy and fundraising.
A senior executive with the National Citizens Coalition for more than 20 years, Gerry oversaw that group’s media campaigns as well as its overall political strategy.
And it was his drive, vision and creativity which helped make the NCC one of the largest and most effective pro-free market advocacy groups in Canada.
Now working as a freelance political and media consultant, Gerry is offering his experience and expertise to help individuals and groups achieve public relations success. Some of the services Gerry can provide include:
- News releases:
News releases are the best way to communicate with the media. And Gerry writes news releases which are concise, which get to the point fast and which attract the attention of editors, producers and journalists.
- Direct Mail
Direct mail letters are a key money-raising tool. And Gerry is an unsurpassed expert in writing them. His fundraising letters have raised millions of dollars over the years both for the NCC and for politicians seeking office. Gerry knows how to push the right hot buttons.
- Op Eds
If you’re looking for a ghost-writer for opinion pieces, letters to the editor or newsletters look no further. Gerry is an excellent writer whose own op eds have appeared in national and regional newspapers including the Globe and Mail, the National Post, the Toronto Star and the Sun Media chain.
- Issue Advertising
While working at the NCC, Gerry oversaw and created hundreds of ad campaigns featuring radio commercials, TV spots, newspaper ads and billboards. Some of these campaigns were hard-hitting, others humorous, but they were all effective.
- Speech Writing
Gerry knows how to write speeches that get your point across, that will keep audiences listening and that reflect your personality.
Political campaigns
A battle-hardened veteran of countless political wars, Gerry can provide you with sound strategies on how to frame your message in a way which will mobilize your base and outflank your opponents, without sacrificing your principles.
Gerry is available to come to your seminar or event to talk about politics, media strategy or topical issues. He's an interesting and engaging speaker who has spoken to organizations ranging from the Fraser Institute, to the Alberta Law Commission to the Liberty Summer Seminar. And when Gerry isn’t helping people solve their communication problems, he writes regular political columns for Report magazine and the Women’s Post. His expertise on political strategy has also made him a popular guest on TV and radio public affairs programs. He has appeared regularly, for instance, on such programs as The Michael Coren Show, Mike Duffy Live and Politics. Who knows?
Maybe Gerry really is one of the top five political minds in the country! So if you are looking for communication expertise, contact Gerry today. |

 Gerry has also authored the book Loyal to the Core: Stephen Harper, me and the NCC. In it, he reveals the story of how he went from being a friend and close ally of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, to one of his most fierce and unrelenting critics.
The book provides a frank assessment of Stephen Harper the man, and Stephen Harper the leader, tracing his evolution from hardcore conservative ideologue to partisan, pragmatic politician.
In addition to the candid portrait of Harper, Nicholls offers an unauthorized history of the National Citizens Coalition, Canada’s largest independent, pro-free market organization. Who created this unique advocacy group and why? How did this organization, using political guerrilla warfare tactics, help change the face of Canada?
We learn how the NCC fought to expose government waste and oppose arrogant politicians, how it battled both in the court of law and the court of public opinion to protect our most cherished individual freedoms. But most of all, Loyal to the Core is a cautionary tale for Canada’s conservative movement. Principled conservatives must, Nicholls explains, resist the corrosive influence of partisan politics and focus on what matters: winning the war of ideas. You can order a copy of this book here. |
