Our Work
We have been working with TAL for over 5 years as its lead strategic communications partner, supporting the business across multiple activity streams while enabling seamless integration of messaging.
We work closely with the Executive Team to develop and consult on positioning and strategic approach to key industry, reputational and public affairs issues and activities. And with the individual Life, Group Life and Investments, and Enterprise Brand teams, we have developed and delivered integrated communications campaigns across PR, media and digital.
We have been working with Aussie for over a year as its integrated comms agency and were originally engaged to deliver on a comprehensive corporate communication and stakeholder engagement program.
This program started with the development of a refreshed brand communication strategy, and was translated into internal communication programs, broker and stakeholder toolkits, executive profiling and spokesperson strategy, key message documentation, business strategy communication and internal roll out planning and has continued to be executed through external consumer and corporate communication, thought leadership and tactical social programs.
