Testimonial - Sophie Bourchier, Project Manager for Substance Misuse Limestone Coast
“Kate has worked as our Communications and Media Advisor since 2019 and has become a much-valued member of our team.
"Kate’s expertise and experience when it comes to media, government and stakeholder relations has been crucial to our success in creating awareness of our activities and cause as a not-for-profit organisation.
As SMLC are reliant on government funding, our public image is crucial, and by strategic planning and continued communications, Kate ensures SMLC’s name is front and centre in the complex alcohol and other drug space, through our own channels and local and state media.
During the pandemic, at a time when many organisations paused, Kate spurred SMLC into action, project managing a new dedicated website and creating our successful Time for Change campaign, designed to raise awareness of risky at-home alcohol use.
Always innovative and creative, I highly recommend Kate to any organisation or business looking to take their communications to the next level.”

“Let’s put it simply – Kate’s campaign work got me elected.
As someone used to getting things done quietly and avoiding the spotlight, Kate’s advice helped me develop a public persona which felt real and authentic.
From the crafting of social posts to the timing of local media stories, there was purpose and strategy built in behind every word.
Kate’s advice, strategy and experience is top level.”
