About the agency

This is an earned-first communications agency with integrated services spanning social, content, and events. They are best known for launching a major global dating app into the Australian market and helping establish it as a brand that shaped the conversation around modern dating.

Their current client portfolio is predominantly consumer-focused, featuring top-tier brands across national sports, automotive, regional tourism, and consumer tech. Recent campaign highlights include turning a national women’s sporting event into a massive cultural moment – delivering record-breaking attendance, broadcast audiences, and reaching over 104M people.

Every team member utilizes a proprietary, agentic AI platform designed to automate repetitive work, accelerate research, and enhance day-to-day productivity. In 2026, they have also formally launched a dedicated events division, offering exciting opportunities to get involved in global brand events.
