In the vibrant tapestry of global media and entertainment, few narratives are as compelling as those of Tracy Lamourie and Dave Parkinson, the dynamic duo behind Lamourie Media. This Canadian power couple, celebrated for their innovative public relations strategies and commitment to social justice, has embarked on a new chapter that is as unexpected as it is thrilling.
Married for three decades as of December 2024 and parents to two adult children, Tracy and Dave’s latest adventure has taken them far from the familiar landscapes of Canada to the serene shores of Gozo, Malta.
Gozo, described by Tracy as “the smaller, more tranquil, more traditional of the Maltese islands,” offers a picturesque setting that seems worlds away from the hustle and bustle of their professional lives. Yet, it is here in this idyllic locale that Tracy and Dave have found not only a new home but also a new direction for their careers. Since October 2023, they have made Gozo their base, drawn by its sunny climate, breathtaking cliffs, extraordinary history, low crime rate, and proximity to the sea—all elements that resonate with their adventurous spirits.
The couple’s journey to Malta was meant to be just another brief escape; however, it quickly evolved into something much more permanent. Except for a January trip to Ireland and their regular two-week pilgrimage to the French Riviera for the Cannes Film Festival in May 2024, they have remained on the Maltese islands since their arrival in fall 2023.
Their return from Cannes marked a significant turning point. Following discussions with a successful producer they met at the festival, Tracy and Dave announced plans to establish a film production company in Malta. This venture aims to co-produce films with international partners while tapping into local talent pools—providing valuable opportunities for local professionals and film students alike.
This decision underscores Malta’s burgeoning status as a cinematic hub—a “giant film set” at the crossroads of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. With recent productions like the last two Jurassic Park movies and Gladiator 2 choosing Malta as their backdrop, it’s clear why Tracy and Dave see potential in this Mediterranean gem.
Tracy Lamourie—a name synonymous with success in public relations—is no stranger to accolades. As an international award-winning publicist and founder/managing director of Lamourie Media Inc., her career spans various facets of media production and advocacy. Her upcoming book “GET REPPED – Build Your Brand With Effective Public and Media Relations” promises further insights into her expertise. A regular fixture on red carpets worldwide (including Cannes), she has been recognized by numerous awards including being named Universal Women’s Network 2020 Woman of Inspiration Winner for Women In Media award.
Dave Parkinson brings his own impressive credentials as co-founder/director at Lamourie Media. His extensive experience in audio-visual production and talent in music complements his work at Lamourie Media—adding another layer to their multifaceted business ventures. Whether co-producing legacy projects like Phil Hartman’s Flat TV or sharing insights on blockchain technology advancements—Dave continually demonstrates his ability to navigate complex industries with ease.
Their move to the Mediterranean marks not just a geographical shift but signifies a significant evolution in their professional lives—from shaping narratives through public relations to creating stories through film production. This expansion into filmmaking aligns perfectly with both Malta’s cinematic aspirations and Lamourie Media’s advocacy goals—offering platforms for voices that need amplification.
As we watch this next chapter unfold for Tracy Lamourie & Dave Parkinson—the celebrity publicists turned film producers—it’s clear they’re crafting yet another remarkable story; not just within their careers but within the enchanting landscapes of Gozo itself.
Tracy & Dave’s move underscores an essential truth about creativity: it knows no bounds—not geographical ones nor industry limits—and thrives wherever passion meets opportunity.
