Chris Clarke is a public relations consultant based in Toronto, Canada. He works at NATIONAL Public Relations, Canada’s largest public relations firm. As Coordinator, New Media, he is responsible for identifying opportunities for existing clients to join the conversation, and to help educate staff on best practices online.

He has been writing to his blog, Student PR, since April 2006, when as a student looking to differentiate himself from other public relations students, he joined the PR blogosphere and got noticed by Thornley Fallis Communications. His career in public relations began at Thornley Fallis in May 2006, where he spent a year and a half blogging the good and the bad of being an entry-level practitioner working at a mid-sized public relations firm in Toronto.

An avid basketball fan, he wrote the now-defunct blog End of the Bench on the Most Valuable Network for over 2 years, and has since been writing for Hoops Addict.

He holds an Honours Bachelor of Arts from the University of Western Ontario, and a certificate in Corporate Communications and Public Relations from Fanshawe College.

Chris Clarke's blog is Student PR Blog.
