Gina Contreras-Ruiz

(she/her)

Gina is a keen creative who is well-versed in public relations and the art of persuasion—she knows how to connect with audiences and compel them to action. Outside of work, she’s a self-proclaimed #TeamJacob and loves Twilight so much that she named her dogs Jacob and Seth (after the werewolves, of course).

Gina manages project workflow, helps develop cunning marketing strategies and maintains relationships with clients, production teams and our network of collaborators. She believes in “the fearless pursuit of what sets your soul on fire” and for her, that means bringing people’s stories to life. Born and raised in Winnipeg, Gina has helped launch major campaigns with noteworthy locals like Travel Manitoba and Abilities Manitoba.

She brings with her a specialized knowledge of Big Tech, having previously worked in the communications department of an AAA video game studio. One of her most memorable projects was managing the PR for a charity drag brunch on behalf of SkipTheDishes, which raised money for local Pride communities.
