Member Benefits

Professional Independent Communicators (PIC) is a group that’s unique to IABC/Toronto and is free by request to all members.

As a PIC member, you’ll have access to benefits focused specifically on your work as an independent – whether you pursue it full time, part time, or simply want to learn more.

PIC offers you:

• Networking. Be part of a network of independent practitioners in Greater Toronto who share similar challenges and opportunities. Become a volunteer, and collaborate with your independent colleagues. Plus, you can learn from independent colleagues through the PIC blog and LinkedIn group.
• Work Leads. Learn about new work opportunities through the PIC email list. Get a free listing in our Member Directory. Generate peer referrals and develop a roster of potential “team players” for major projects.
• Discounts. Receive a discount for your ad in IABC/Toronto’s online Communicators’ Marketplace – one year for listings is only $75 for the first category, additional categories are $25. (Other IABC members pay $100, and non-members pay $150.)
• Education. Learn from experts during monthly PIC educational sessions that highlight a range of relevant topics, from personal branding to business planning to emerging trends. These sessions cost approximately $15 to $25 for IABC/Toronto members or $35 to $45 for non-members.
• Information. Stay connected with The Buzz, the monthly PIC e-newsletter that looks at current issues for independents, and features valuable highlights from our educational sessions.
• Profile. PIC is committed to raising the profile of independent communicators among all IABC members as well as in the general public.
