Red Havas Brisbane, part of Red Havas global network of earned media agencies, has announced a suite of new client wins as it continues its growth trajectory in the Queensland market.
This follows the elevation of Haylie Marchant to managing partner and the appointment of Kyra Shakspeare as client services director earlier this year.
Norco, Australia’s oldest and largest 100% farmer-owned dairy co-operative, has appointed the agency to drive brand communications via always-on media relations, as well as issues management and crisis communications.
Alissa Moes, Norco’s marketing manager, said she’s extremely proud of what the two businesses have been able to achieve in just a short period of time.
“Our business was heavily impacted by the unprecedented flooding event that devastated the town of Lismore and the Northern Rivers region.
“Both the strategic counsel given, and PR strategies implemented to help advocate for greater government support, has helped to drive some truly meaningful and impactful outcomes not just for the Norco businesses, but for our Lismore workforce and the broader community – many of whom are still rebuilding and recovering,” she said.
“With this as the start to our longer-term partnership, I genuinely look forward to what else can be achieved, as we continue to work together to build on the brand’s strong foundations,” Moes added.
Leveraging the teams experience in consumer health and aged care, new appointments also include community pharmacy network TerryWhite Chemmart, as well as innovative aged care provider, The Whiddon Group.
In addition, forming part of a new global partnership, the new client roster also includes Tritium, creators of some of the world’s most advanced and reliable DC fast chargers for electric vehicles; a Brisbane-based organisation who recently opened their first factory in the US, following a White House announcement earlier this year with President Joe Biden and Tritium CEO, Jane Hunter.
Jack Ulrich, global head of marketing for Tritium acknowledged the important role of Australia in Tritium’s global PR efforts, especially given its Brisbane heritage.
“We have very strong global ambitions and Tritium remains extremely proud of its Australian roots, which will continue to be an important technology hub, as we build the brand to become the number one fast charging company in the world for electric transportation.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Red Havas Brisbane to help communicate our message and showcase what an innovative and exciting journey Tritium is on, both locally and globally,” he said.
Of Red Havas Brisbane’s new wins, Marchant said how pleasing it is to be able to build such a purposeful portfolio across a range of important and emerging sectors.
“It’s been a big six months and we’re extremely proud of our diverse clientele and the incredibly meaningful work we’re able to deliver for our clients.
“These wins are a testament to the talented team we have built and their ability to drive truly impactful outcomes for our client partners,” Marchant added.
