McMaster Innovation Park

McMaster Innovation Park (MIP) is a research and innovation hub in Hamilton, Ontario that is associated with McMaster University. Over the past few years, our team has taken over all marketing, public relations, internal, and external communications for the innovation park. We’ve spent time building an online community for the building and telling the story of MIP to local, national, and international audiences.

As part of this, our Brand Reporting™ team adopted a far-reaching strategy that used video and social media to highlight tenants, special events, news, and more. We’ve also incorporated live broadcasting, forged new relationships with and between MIP tenants, and more than tripled social media engagement.

As a Professional Engineer, former Adjunct Professor at OCAD University, past Chair of Mohawk College’s Board of Governors, and a former RCAF officer, Shattuck is well known within the GTHA area for his business acumen and community leadership.
