Testimonials

Australian Coal Association

I have witnessed first-hand Kath manage communications projects and have always been impressed with her ability to grasp the elements of a campaign quickly and put in place solutions that work very well.

I worked with Kath on a major communications campaign for the Australian coal industry which she was able to bring together at short notice with great results.

The campaign was an integrated mix of advertising, digital communications, public relations and stakeholder engagement which Kath delivered brilliantly.
