What Longview Communications & Public Affairs does

Longview Communications & Public Affairs is a Vancouver-based strategic advisory firm that delivers senior-level counsel across four practice areas: corporate and financial communications, public affairs, special situations (crisis and reputation management), and design and branding. The firm primarily serves C-suite and senior leadership teams at entertainment, media, and technology organizations in North America, with services centered on protecting and enhancing corporate reputation, navigating crisis events, and managing stakeholder and government relationships. Its offering is relationship-driven professional services rather than a technology platform, with engagements structured as custom, quote-based senior advisory work delivered directly by partners and senior practitioners.

The firm's founders and senior leadership — Andrew Fixmer (CEO), Jamie Diamond (EVP), and Bruce Drysdale (managing partner) — bring 20+ years of operating experience from Universal Music Group, Sphere Entertainment Co., Paramount Pictures, and Universal Music Publishing Group. Longview operates as part of the FGS Global strategic advisory network under the FGS Longview brand in Canada, providing cross-border resourcing and access to multinational mandates. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, targeting enterprise clients through senior partner relationships rather than channel or volume motions, with marketing supported by LinkedIn and an Insights/blog content channel.
