About Us
We are the original trust-through-communication company, offering our unique, innovative, and proven approach to communications and marketing for 25 years.
Rutherford McKay Associates Inc., now operating as TRUSTMAKERS, was launched in 2000 by David Rutherford and John McKay.
Our proven approach is unusual.
We have worked with cabinet ministers and senior executives in all sectors, and with scientists, experts and front-line staff, both in person and through our virtual training service.
Our no-nonsense, no-spin approach to communications and media relations continues to resonate with audiences across Canada and around the world.

For 25 years we have trained professionals to communicate with confidence.
Our programs and services help you to build trust and support by:
Dealing responsibly and effectively with the media and other audiences you need to reach
Truly connecting with people in meaningful ways, rather than putting on a performance
Going beyond facts and figures by explaining meaning and giving context
Building a culture of communication within your organization
Focusing your ideas using clear thinking
Using language, images, and stories that your audience can understand
