Our Expertise

Media Relations

We help keep our clients and their spokespeople top-of-mind for our journalists, so they proactively reach out to us when working on relevant feature stories.

Outside of media mixers or lunches, we curate casual sessions (over pickleball and engaging events) that allow editors and journalists to get to know your brand, unique features and competitive advantages - with a sprinkle of personality as we create a memorable moment. By facilitating strong media relationships, we help the media tell your brand story well.

We focus on 3 things that matter to MICE clients:
1. Promote
  • Craft clear, compelling narratives for your event or destination
  • Build pre-event momentum through media, thought leadership and digital campaigns
  • Reach the right audiences: delegates, travellers, exhibitors, sponsors, and government stakeholders across the region
2. Protect
  • Manage media and messaging on the ground during high-pressure moments
  • Handle tough questions, misinformation and operational hiccups with calm, clear communication
  • Keep spokespeople and partners aligned on what to say (and what not to)
3. Prove Impact
  • Turn coverage and conversation into clear outcomes and reports
  • Show stakeholders how your event lifted reputation, visibility and engagement
  • Capture content and narratives you can re-use long after the lights go down
