For The Mentors category, PRNews were seeking \u201can extraordinary leader who guides and motivates those around them and has had an outsized impact on the careers of their colleagues\u201d – a definition Makrigiannis has more than lived up to in her 25-year tenure as a PR <\/span>professional. Says a Citizen mentee of Makrigiannis:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCarrie has been the most influential person in my career to-date and has had, by far, the most positive impact. I owe so much of where I am today to her guidance and support, and I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this award.”<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to her support within the walls of Citizen, Makrigiannis has formally mentored with the <\/span>Pinball Clemons Foundation<\/span><\/a> and serves on <\/span>Humber College<\/span><\/a>\u2019s Bachelor of PR Program Advisory Committee. Her work with aspiring youth in the industry is ongoing; in 2024, Makrigiannis spearheaded the first<\/span> \u2018Intro to PR Day\u2019<\/span><\/a> at Citizen for Northview Heights Secondary\u00a0 School students, in addition to sharing her expertise and advice with MBA students at Schulich School of Business. Alongside Makrigiannis\u2019 personal mission to introduce the diverse field of communications to students at a young age, sh<\/span>e plays an integral part of Citizen\u2019s senior leadership team, overseeing the agency\u2019s work with Loblaw Companies Limited brands including Joe Fresh, Shoppers Drug Mart, Real Canadian Superstore and President’s Choice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the 15+ years I\u2019ve had a chance to work with Carrie, I\u2019ve witnessed her incredible talent,\u00a0 commitment and care as a mentor,\u201c shares Citizen\u2019s Canadian President, Jenn Duggan. \u201cShe acts with compassion and pragmatism to build trusting and lasting relationships with each person she mentors.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
