  • CIARAN DAVIS
    CEO & MANAGING DIRECTOR
    ARN and HT&E

    The Comms Department are passionate about our business and they leave no stone unturned to get the best result. They’re a trusted advisor and an extension of Australian Radio Network’s internal marketing department but with the added contacts and big picture strategic thinking that only an outside team can bring. TCD seamlessly balance managing corporate communications, crisis communications, entertainment and celebrity PR and assisting with internal communications and social media. Since TCD began with us in late 2012, ARN has achieved extraordinary growth and TCD’s communications and PR strategy and implementation has played an integral part in this. While it’s rare to have this kind of consultant longevity, TCD set the benchmark in the agency art of keeping multiple stakeholders happy and we feel like we’re their only client, when we know we’re not. As TCD have grown over the years, they continue to deliver the same high level of service and results for ARN, as well as for their other long-term clients.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, TCD are one of our absolute favourite teams to work with. We work fast and so do they - so they always make our lives that much easier. TCD is consistently on brand with their pitches, they supply me with content that actually can work for us and their turnaround is incredibly quick - it's smooth and easy and they get us. Most importantly: they are lovely, excellent people - it's always such a pleasure dealing with them professionally and personally.

    Bec Brown is someone we trust. She is effective, follows through if there's a challenge and always remains pleasant and positive. And she makes the best brownies too!

  • SARAH STINSON
    Executive Producer
    The Morning Show & The Daily Edition, Seven Network

    Whether a product, personality or campaign, The Comms Department get it right every single time. Being able to streamline and fast track the promotion of any brand, while navigating the often confusing world of commercial media, is no easy feat. On a professional level, it’s always a mutually beneficial experience and, personally, it is nothing but a pleasure working with this team.

  • TIM 'ROSSO' ROSS
    Media Personality/ Comedian/ Author

    Bec is quite simply the best in the business and universally loved in the industry. She and the TCD team take the time to understand their clients implicitly and have a well thought out and strategic approach in all their dealings.

  • GEORGE ASH
    President, Australasia
    Universal Music

    We have had nothing but amazing results and happy clients from our work with Bec. From an artist perspective, Bec is one of the best. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bec to anyone as she sets the benchmark.

  • AMBER GILES
    Deputy Editor
    TV WEEK MAGAZINE

    Working with the team at TCD is always a seamless and pleasant experience. Being a weekly magazine we don’t have much time to waste, so when we reach out for an interview or information about talent we need an answer fast. This is what Bec and her team will always deliver. Nobody works 9-5 in this game anymore, and Bec and her team understand the moving beast that is the media industry. If I am not asking for quotes, then more often than not I am being sent pitches of chats/content that might be of use to us. We aren’t always able to get it in, but the effort of knowing which talent to pitch our way is always appreciated. I have had nothing but a positive experience working with Bec and her team, and know that no request is too big or too small.

WHAT
WE DO



In short, we get your voice heard.

 

Whether it’s via television, radio, newspapers, magazines, online, or social media, we put your story in front of the right people.

 

Or maybe you already have an audience – your staff, investors, clients, fanbase – and you need help to clearly and effectively communicate your message to them.

 

So first we plan.

 

What’s your ultimate outcome? Will it change perceptions and give you a return on your investment?

 

Then we create the best strategy, custom made for you, in today’s ‘new school’ way.

We execute using sound PR skills, the best writing and imagery, excellent contacts and, most importantly, integrity. Always.

 

We deliver. Voila.

Whether your company is going through times of change, or you’re simply looking to best prepare for or leverage growth, you need a solid communications strategy.

 

This ensures the right message is being told to your investors, partners, staff and externally via media channels.

 

This is what we do, and we do it best.

 

We make sure the correct story is being told, from the mouth of the board or CEO, down.

 

And, yes, some of our best work will always be the stories or rumours that we’d prefer remain untold.

 

We also provide media training. Anyone speaking with the media needs to know what to do.

 

The media need a good story, you want to get your information heard.

It’s a skill, just like riding a bike.

 

But learning to ride a bike can be awkward.

 

So before you’re splashed across the media with your training wheels on (or worse, careening out of control and falling on your face), we make sure that you have the tools to get your message across, no matter how you’re being interviewed.

 

And better than that, we teach how to become such great talent, that you’ll get asked back again and again.

 

We’ve worked with everyone from CEOs, media personalities, financial corporates, small business owners, and artists signed to labels like Universal Music, Ministry of Sound, ABC Music and Decca.

 

We hear you clearly, now let’s make sure everyone else does.

What is communicated during a crisis may determine your company’s future. Timing is crucial and a solid PR strategy, planned well in advance and executed by experts, will shape what happens to your business and your brand’s reputation.

 

The Comms Department are proven leaders in this area. Plans are created in line with risk and, when a crisis hits, Bec and her team work quickly and calmly with all stakeholders until the issue is resolved, enabling you to get back to business as quickly as possible, with minimal financial and reputational damage.

 

Crisis management with us is one of the best insurance investments you can make.

WSFM PURE GOLD

REBRAND CAMPAIGN & DAY-TO-DAY PR MANAGEMENT

 

Following the success of Australian Radio Network’s KIIS 1065 launch, focus turned to the underperforming Classic Hits network. The ‘Pure Gold’ network rebrand campaign focused on WSFM 101.7 in Sydney and GOLD104.3 in Melbourne and aimed to move away from the incorrect perception it’s a ‘golden oldies’ station, increase ratings and bring imagery surrounding the station into line with its core Gen X audience.

 

The Comms Department’s PR campaign was designed to complement ARN’s marketing strategy and both directly contributed to WSFM 101.7’s Jonesy & Amanda being crowned #1FM breakfast show twice and WSFM ending the year as the #1FM station. Jonesy & Amanda also won Best On Air Team at the Australian Commercial Radio Awards in 2014 and their Executive Producer was named EP of the year. This success was, in part, a result of their raised industry profile through the rebrand.

 

The rebrand campaign went on to win an ACRA Award for Best Marketing Campaign at the 2015 awards.

 

TCD continue to manage all day-to-day media relations and publicity for the Pure Gold network including WSFM’s Jonesy & Amanda, GOLD104.3’s The Christian O’Connell Breakfast Show and 4KQ’s Laurel, Gary & Mark.

 

 

KIIS FM

REBRAND CAMPAIGN & DAY-TO-DAY PR MANAGEMENT

All rebrands were a huge success, with Sydney the highlight. Due to the rebrand, KIIS 1065 (formerly MIX 106.5) rocketed from the seventh FM rating position to number one, all in one short survey period – unprecedented for an FM radio station in Australia and worldwide.

 

TCD continue to manage all day-to-day media relations and publicity for Sydney’s KIIS 1065 including The Kyle & Jackie O Show, the national KIIS FM Drive show, 3PM Pick Up and all other shows and stations in the national KIIS FM network.

THE WIGGLES

PR MANAGEMENT

 

After more than 27 years of performing, with over 1.8 million social media followers, 7 million albums, 23 million DVDs, and 8 million books sold, The Wiggles have performed to millions of fans across the globe.

 

The Comms Department worked with The Wiggles from 2012 to 2018, managing media publicity, targeted influencer promotion and assisting the in-house social media team across thirteen album launches and five national arena tours.

 

The Wiggles made significant changes to their line-up in 2013. The brand made the bold but exciting move to keep only one original member and introduce three new unknown faces including, for the first time, a female.

 

TCD implemented a three-phase strategy to assist in taking The Wiggles’ new line up from a challenger brand, back to the market-leader it is today.

 

Part of this plan involved broadening The Wiggles’ relevance outside niche parenting media to mainstream media, building personal profiles of individual members while boosting Australian tour ticket and album sales. This also included securing features in mainstream media focussing on key interests of individual members outside their roles as performers, including lifestyle, fashion, and fitness. Key to this strategy was TCD securing a high-profile media schedule including major prime-time TV, radio, news sites and magazines.

 

An example of the results achieved for just one of these albums and tours was 92 media stories for the album ‘Dance, Dance!’ and 137 stories secured across 129 media outlets for the ‘Dance, Dance Big Show! Tour’ launch. That year, The Wiggles rivalled Coldplay for the most concert tickets sold in Australia after selling 70,000 seats in under 24 hours for their annual arena tour, then went on to sell out in most cities.

 

TCD have also worked with The Wiggles’ international PR agencies assisting with the tour PR for New Zealand, the U.S. and Canada.

Tactics have included working with parenting bloggers, dedicated children’s radio stations, album reviews, creative media photoshoots, collaborative album launches at children’s function centres, red carpet premiere events and more.

Since TCD began working with Cover-More, the company has grown exponentially and expanded into the U.S. and UK.

 

Leveraging off Cover-More’s enviable milestone of over 2 million views on their YouTube channel (extraordinary for a corporate insurance company), In 2015 TCD worked with Cover-More on their first ever Ultimate Traveller video competition, a digital and social media content marketing campaign.

 

Entries came from across the globe and were further promoted via social media engagement from travel influencers and fans alike who created and shared their travel videos. The competition was so successful that Cover-More and TCD repeated the campaign for four consecutive years.

 

In addition to these successful campaigns that reached over 12 million people annually and saw Cover-More’s social media grow by over 20% each year, TCD was appointed as ongoing content curator and editor for Cover-More’s Travel Blog, reaching and influencing millions of travel lovers globally.

KATY PERRY

PR MANAGEMENT & STAKEHOLDER RELATIONS

TCD’s PR campaigns for the past five years have resulted in over 3,000 media stories worth in excess of $27 million and generated over 15,000 social media posts. These critical educational and fundraising messages have reached up to 17.8 million Australians each year, and over 20 million globally on social media. The fundraising financials continue to increase significantly from previous years and allow Red Nose to continue their life-saving work.

KIIS FM

REBRAND CAMPAIGN & DAY-TO-DAY PR MANAGEMENT

 

The Comms Department managed all PR and messaging surrounding ARN’s appointment of Kyle & Jackie O and the rebrand launch of Sydney’s KIIS 1065 in 2014, worked with the ARN marketing team and Melbourne PR consultant on the launch of Melbourne’s KIIS 101.1 in 2015, and with Adelaide’s MIX 102.3 and Brisbane’s 97.3FM as the stations joined the national KIIS FM network.

 

All rebrands were a huge success, with Sydney the highlight. Due to the rebrand, KIIS 1065 (formerly MIX 106.5) rocketed from the seventh FM rating position to number one, all in one short survey period – unprecedented for an FM radio station in Australia and worldwide.

 

TCD continue to manage all day-to-day media relations and publicity for Sydney’s KIIS 1065 including The Kyle & Jackie O Show, the national KIIS FM Drive show, 3PM Pick Up and all other shows and stations in the national KIIS FM network.

WSFM PURE GOLD

REBRAND CAMPAIGN & DAY-TO-DAY PR MANAGEMENT

 

Following the success of Australian Radio Network’s KIIS 1065 launch, focus turned to the underperforming Classic Hits network. The ‘Pure Gold’ network rebrand campaign focused on WSFM 101.7 in Sydney and GOLD104.3 in Melbourne and aimed to move away from the incorrect perception it’s a ‘golden oldies’ station, increase ratings and bring imagery surrounding the station into line with its core Gen X audience.

 

The Comms Department’s PR campaign was designed to complement ARN’s marketing strategy and both directly contributed to WSFM 101.7’s Jonesy & Amanda being crowned #1FM breakfast show twice and WSFM ending the year as the #1FM station. Jonesy & Amanda also won Best On Air Team at the Australian Commercial Radio Awards in 2014 and their Executive Producer was named EP of the year. This success was, in part, a result of their raised industry profile through the rebrand.

 

The rebrand campaign went on to win an ACRA Award for Best Marketing Campaign at the 2015 awards.

 

TCD continue to manage all day-to-day media relations and publicity for the Pure Gold network including WSFM’s Jonesy & Amanda, GOLD104.3’s The Christian O’Connell Breakfast Show and 4KQ’s Laurel, Gary & Mark.

THE WIGGLES

PR MANAGEMENT

 

After more than 27 years of performing, with over 1.8 million social media followers, 7 million albums, 23 million DVDs, and 8 million books sold, The Wiggles have performed to millions of fans across the globe.

 

The Comms Department worked with The Wiggles from 2012 to 2018, managing media publicity, targeted influencer promotion and assisting the in-house social media team across thirteen album launches and five national arena tours.

 

The Wiggles made significant changes to their line-up in 2013. The brand made the bold but exciting move to keep only one original member and introduce three new unknown faces including, for the first time, a female.

 

TCD implemented a three-phase strategy to assist in taking The Wiggles’ new line up from a challenger brand, back to the market-leader it is today.

 

Part of this plan involved broadening The Wiggles’ relevance outside niche parenting media to mainstream media, building personal profiles of individual members while boosting Australian tour ticket and album sales. This also included securing features in mainstream media focussing on key interests of individual members outside their roles as performers, including lifestyle, fashion, and fitness. Key to this strategy was TCD securing a high-profile media schedule including major prime-time TV, radio, news sites and magazines.

 

An example of the results achieved for just one of these albums and tours was 92 media stories for the album ‘Dance, Dance!’ and 137 stories secured across 129 media outlets for the ‘Dance, Dance Big Show! Tour’ launch. That year, The Wiggles rivalled Coldplay for the most concert tickets sold in Australia after selling 70,000 seats in under 24 hours for their annual arena tour, then went on to sell out in most cities.

 

TCD have also worked with The Wiggles’ international PR agencies assisting with the tour PR for New Zealand, the U.S. and Canada.

A long-term client of The Comms Department, Cover-More is Australia’s only true specialist travel insurance and medical assistance provider with greater than 40% share of the Australian travel insurance market. They protect more than 1.8 million Australian travellers every year.

 

Since TCD began working with Cover-More, the company has grown exponentially and expanded into the U.S. and UK.

 

Leveraging off Cover-More’s enviable milestone of over 2 million views on their YouTube channel (extraordinary for a corporate insurance company), in 2015 TCD worked with Cover-More on their first ever Ultimate Traveller video competition, a digital and social media content marketing campaign.

 

Entries came from across the globe and were further promoted via social media engagement from travel influencers and fans alike who created and shared their travel videos. The competition was so successful that Cover-More and TCD repeated the campaign for four consecutive years.

 

In addition to these successful campaigns that reached over 12 million people annually and saw Cover-More’s social media grow by over 20% each year, TCD was appointed as ongoing content curator and editor for Cover-More’s Travel Blog, reaching and influencing millions of travel lovers globally.

Working closely with Katy’s management across all comms for the event and the announcement of the tour dates, TCD also worked across the publicity schedule for the instore appearance, including negotiating with media and management to secure interviews, and subsequent media management on the day of all TV news crews, photographers and journalists.

These critical educational and fundraising messages have reached up to 17.8 million Australians each year, and over 20 million globally on social media. The fundraising financials continue to increase significantly from previous years and allow Red Nose to continue their life-saving work.
