FAQ
Questions we get asked before the first call
If yours is not here, ask us directly. We would rather tell you straight than have you guess.
Book a callWe handle the public and corporate affairs side of your business. That means getting your story into the media, preparing the people who have to speak for you, managing an issue when it escalates, and putting your case to government.
Both. Our nine services run as single projects or as ongoing multi-layered campaigns. We provide the strategy and create the resource material to get the job done.
Our clients have appeared in the Australian Financial Review, The Age, the Herald Sun, The Australian and the Sydney Morning Herald. Nobody can promise a placement. What we can do is build a story an editor has a reason to run, and take it to the journalist who covers that round.
We have accessible links to leading politicians and their advisors across the political spectrum. Our team has worked as ministerial advisors and in senior roles in the bureaucracy, so we understand how a government decision is actually made.
Preparing your spokespeople to deal effectively with the media, run by people who spent years on the other side of the interview as senior journalists.
Crisis management is one of our nine services. We build the strategy plan and brief the spokespeople. The earlier you call, the more options you still have.
Email hello@mediaaffairs.com.au or use the form on this page. We will talk through what you are trying to achieve and which of the nine services actually apply to it.
