Media Advice

Mainstream versus social media. Earned, Owned & Borrowed Media - what's the difference? How do we get a decent run? How do we stay out of the news? How can we tell our story, our way? Megan has experience in long-lead campaigns, tactical media engagement, briefings, press conferences, targeted announcements and driving best-practice media management and response.

Engagement

Do you appreciate genuine engagement? Do you know when, how and with who you should be engaging? Does your organisation follow the principles of the International Association of Public Participation? Would you consider your past engagement respectful, inclusive, transparent, genuine, accountable and flexible?

Strategic Communications

How do we shape and influence audiences  to achieve our business objectives? Get match fit for a long game, not indulge in short-term tactics that look good but don't shift mind-sets or grow customers. Megan has experience in detailed communication planning, applying best-practices, being data-driven and stress-testing the strategy.

Issues Management

Who is considering the optics of your decision-making and operations? Are you in-tune with socio-political changes in your operating environment? Who is identifying potential problems, issues and trends that could impact your future? Are issues managing you, or are you managing your issues?

It’s a big part of the culture of this country and today is a great celebration of what Holden means to Australians
