About

Lisa Mighton recently returned from Malmo, Sweden, where she was researching and interviewing for a project related to media, communications, social policy and immigration. The reports and plans on this are the current focus, and will be until surfacing again mid-August.

Most of Lisa’s work previously has been in Canada, although she’s also worked/lived in Sri Lanka, Australia and the UK.

Projects in the past couple of years include mass media coverage for a 3000-attendee multicultural health promotion event with Affiliation of Multicultural Societies and Service Agencies of BC, roundtable and public dialogue sessions on gender, peacekeeping and peacebuilding (which became a book) for United Nations Association in Canada, a sixth year producing annual provincial remotes for a Global TV/ BC Children’s Hospital Foundation fundraising campaign, video/text profiles for PeopleWithDiabetes.ca, producing communications materials with community-based organizations in Sri Lanka, and a role as Communications Officer with Healthy Heart Society of BC, an organization improving chronic disease prevention and chronic disease management in British Columbia.

She has over twenty years of experience in media production and communications – as a publicist on hundreds of movies and film festival launches, as a TV producer, radio producer and researcher on dozens of documentaries and information series (production list here), as a web content writer, and in PR, marketing, media relations and communications strategy.

Lisa is passionate about community-building, capacity-building, and bridging evidence-based research to marketing-communications practice.

She has also taught social media/publicity.

Education includes an undergraduate degree in radio and television broadcast communications, and a Masters – close to completion – in communication for development.
