Trish Magwood is featured in October’s House & Home magazine

My client, James Beard Award winner Chef Trish Magwood has a fabulous 8 page spread in the October House & Home magazine issue which includes fabulous recipes. It is worth checking out! Mom of 3 and a 20-year history of making television, writing best-selling cookbooks and multiple endorsement deals she is currently writing a new cookbook!

Melody Thomas Scott new book: Always Young and Restless

Fact: At least 90% of people who look at this photo will recognize Melody Thomas Scott who has portrayed Nikki Newman on The Young and the Restless since 1979. Either you watched it, still watch it, a friend or family member watch it or tape all the episodes and watch them on the weekend. Young, old, homemaker, professional, male, female, all watch. Y&R had top ten prime time ratings in Canada for many years & is still one of Global TV’s top shows. The American audience is also still loyal. She is the queen of daytime, an icon. But most importantly she is a wonderful, warm, bright, human being. I know because I’m not only her agent but have been a close friend for over 35 years. I have known the very personal history that she shares in her book for years. It’s worth the read. Melody tells of her troubled, unconventional upbringing and her work with Clint Eastwood, Alfred Hitchcock, John Wayne as a child actress. Some of you will remember her in one of the hilarious Zellers commercials with co-star Eric Braeden (Victor), her hair care endorsement & many appearances including hugely successful events at The Bay and Holt Renfrew in Canada. Agencies & brands would be smart to consider her for a fun campaign and can contact me. 

Testimonial, August 2020:

Lilana is the best! I have worked with a ton of talent managers during my comms/PR career and my experience working with Lilana and her terrific client Christine Cushing stands out a lot. Not only was she efficient and professional in all aspects, she also brought a very infectious passion to our project that made it really fun to work on each and every day. I can’t recommend working with Lilana and her impressive roster of clients enough.

Look for Tommy Smythe’s IKEA commercial

Keeping up with designer Tommy Smythe, host of Bell Media’s Where To I Do? (in it’s 3rd season) is always fun. A regular on The Marilyn Denis Show, he joined the fabulous talk show host in a commercial spot humorously reminding listeners that it’s time to check out the 2021 IKEA Catalogue. Tommy is also featured in The Marilyn Denis Show segments that highlight sleep and sustainability using IKEA products.
