Sydney-based agency Sedgwick Communications has appointed Jess Phillips as communications consultant, as the business continues to expand its strategic offering across PR, social, and influencer marketing.
Phillips joins with more than seven years of agency experience across Sydney and London, having worked across sectors including FMCG, lifestyle, wellness, retail, financial services and travel.
The appointment comes as Sedgwick Communications continues to invest in talent to support its growing client base and broaden its capabilities across Australia and New Zealand.
Managing director and founder Laura Sedgwick said Phillips had already made an impact within the business.
“Jess has a natural enthusiasm and curiosity about how we can continue to elevate brands and tell stories that matter, which is exactly what matters in a boutique agency with a diverse client portfolio.
“As we expand, we’re excited to have someone who will not only strengthen our team, but also help us build even greater momentum across the business in Australia and New Zealand.”
Experience across markets and sectors
Phillips’ experience spans multiple markets and verticals, reflecting the agency’s cross-sector client mix, which includes travel and tourism, retail and FMCG, health and wellness, technology and market research, and purpose-led organisations.
Speaking on her appointment, Phillips said she was drawn to the agency’s positioning and client work.
“Sedgwick Communications stood out to me for its strong client work, purpose-led campaigns, collaborative culture and breadth of industries it works across. I’m excited to join the team at such a dynamic time for the agency, and look forward to continuing the great work already being done whilst elevating my skillset along the way.”
