Background

About Daniel Bitonti

About I’m a seasoned communications leader with 10+ years of experience helping governments and organizations tell their stories with clarity and impact. At the Town of Aurora, I manage strategic communications with the Mayor, CAO, and senior leadership — leading the Town’s Multi-Year Strategic Communications Plan, modernizing its Crisis Communications Plan, launching a new corporate intranet, and overseeing the first resident survey in 15 years. These initiatives have strengthened public trust, improved organizational readiness, and guided policy direction. Previously, I was a senior adviser and spokesperson in the Ontario Government, supporting the Premier and cabinet ministers on issues of national and international importance, and directed communications for the Mayor of Mississauga on planning and economic development priorities. I began my career as a journalist with the Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, and CTV News — an experience that still shapes my ability to simplify complex issues and connect with diverse audiences. Areas of expertise: • Strategic communications & reputation management • Executive speechwriting & thought leadership • Crisis communications & issues management • Economic development & policy messaging • Media relations & spokesperson training • Internal communications & employee engagement • Content creation across digital, video, and print I’m passionate about using communications to bridge policy and people, bringing strategy to life through storytelling.
