Bourke Joins The Syndicate

Entertainment marketing agency The Syndicate is proud to announce the hiring of veteran publicist Brendan Bourke as Director of Publicity. Bourke transitions from his own company, Canvas Media, where he worked with a wide variety of established and up-and-coming artists. And he certainly won’t be showing up empty-handed to The Syn, as he will be bringing with him Japandroids (for Canada), Clinic, The Rentals, BOYTOY, Little Junior, Bossie, Mare Island, Dead Leaf Echo and The Van Pelt, to name a few. These artists will join recent PR clients Andrew W.K., Chicano Batman, POP Montreal, Lee Fields & The Expressions, The String Cheese Incident, Shannon McNally, Scout Durwood, Caitlin Canty, Elizabeth & The Catapult and more.

Bourke will report to VP of PR & Artist Development Jeff Kilgour, who said, “Brendan has been a friend and colleague for over a decade and I couldn’t be more excited to have him on the team. His experience, professionalism and knowledge of the media landscape will be a valuable addition to The Syn’s expanding PR department and we look forward to a brilliant future ahead.” Bourke can now be reached at Brendan@thesyn.com.
