Meet Our Team

PRESIDENT & CEO

Farhan Lalani

Farhan founded Market One Media Group in 2013 to meet public companies’ demand for a new approach from investor relations firms. He brought more than a decade and half of experience working with brokerage firms in financial capital markets to the new digital marketing firm, giving him the insights and contacts needed to set a new course for investor relations.

He was a mining analyst early in his career, before becoming an investment advisor and ultimately partner at Leede Financial. In that work he developed deep relationships with financial institutions and public companies, while coming to realize traditional investor relations was no longer effectively reaching retail investors, who have increasingly come to rely on social media, favourite web portals, and online news sources to inform their investment decisions.

Farhan was on Business in Vancouver’s Forty under 40 list in 2015, won the Best Digital and Media Company in Western Canada at the Notable Awards in 2014, and was honoured to win the Outstanding Volunteer Award in 2014 for his philanthropic dedication, presented by Premier Christy Clark. He was also recently named Canadas next 150 Top Entrepreneurs by the TMX Group. Farhan stays actively involved in the community as President of the Vancouver-False Creek Riding Association and Member of the Board of Advisors of TEDx Vancouver.
