North American Public Relations Agency for Social Impact & Sustainability

Meet Yulu – an award-winning PR firm headquartered in Vancouver, serving organizations across Canada and North America.

Founded in 2011, Yulu has helped advance Impact Communications – an evolution of public relations grounded in equity, accountability, and measurable social and environmental outcomes. Yulu was the first PR agency in Canada to become B Corp Certified and played a role in advancing Benefit Corporation legislation nationally, helping set an early standard for responsible business in the communications industry.

Headquartered in Vancouver, with roots in New York City, Yulu partners with mission-driven companies, nonprofits, and impact-focused organizations across Canada and the United States. Our clients see social and environmental responsibility not as a trend, but as a foundation for long-term credibility, influence, and growth.

At the intersection of creativity, commerce, and social consciousness, Yulu works alongside its partners to lead change – not observe it.
