In the high profile, high stakes world of public relations and media, few publicists shine as brightly as Tracy Lamourie. Married for three decades to husband Dave Parkinson (co-founder of Lamourie Media), the mother of two children. Lamourie is an international publicist who started her business a little over a decade ago.
You can’t miss her. She dominates any room she walks into, garnering admiring glances and turning heads in attention, getting “look over here” flaming red framed with well placed streaks of authoritative black – from her hair to her distinctive well manicured nails. But it’s not just her signature style that draws people to her – “it’s her whole vibe.”
Those who know her will tell you she’s as friendly and as down to earth as she is fabulous. “People who meet me often say ‘I really like your energy,’ laughs Lamourie. “I’m never quite sure what they mean – but it’s a huge compliment!” It’s clear that she cares about people – “And that ain’t no PR spin!” She listens to them – and then she makes sure they are heard – on a global scale.
Moving very quickly from freelancer on high profile entertainment projects to general partnership incorporation, Tracy has carved a niche for herself as a masterful communicator, advocate for change, and a visionary in brand building across borders – and across industries
As the Founder and Managing Director of Lamourie Media Inc., her journey is not just about personal success but also about lifting others to heights they never imagined possible.

Tracy’s story is one of passion, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. With a career that spans over two decades, she has not only set the standard in PR but also become a beacon of inspiration for many.

Tracy’s approach to PR transcends conventional boundaries. By leveraging media relations effectively, she has helped creatives and brands breakthrough cluttered markets to reach their target audiences more authentically than traditional advertising ever could. Her strategy emphasizes creating compelling narratives that resonate with people on a deeper level—a reflection of her belief in the power of storytelling.
One notable aspect of Tracy’s work is her ability to navigate diverse cultural landscapes seamlessly. Splitting her time between Ontario, Canada, and Gozo Island, Malta in the middle of the Mediterranean, while maintaining a strong professional presence across North America and Europe at all times speaks volumes about her global perspective on PR.
Beyond her professional achievements, Tracy stands out for her dedication to advocacy on global issues. Her voice has been instrumental in campaigns that span human rights, social justice, and equality—highlighting her role not just as a publicist but as a force for positive change in the world.
