Our Expertise
What people say about us
I engaged Wendy when I realised that I needed a voice communicate my ideas to the broader community. Wendy helped me focus my vision and articulate it in a clear and succinct way but also explained the dynamics of thought leadership and what I was about to embark on. Her associate Trudy Rankin gave me a crash course in social media tools that complimented my action plan. I have since readjusted my thinking about what I do and how I project myself. I would recommend Wendy’s company to anyone looking to articulate what they stand for as a thought leader and how to communicate their messages to a broader audience.
When you receive calls from all points of Australia that you are the first news item on national mainstream media (TV, print and radio) you know you have a PR expert on your team worthy of that description. Wendy Parker selflessly gave so much more than anyone could have expected and delivered us a lasting profile out of all proportion to our size. Highly professional, passionate, committed, and with a very genuine social conscience, with virtually no notice she distilled the issue, got to work and within hours we were responding to media inquiries. Who would have imagined a PR expert would directly prevent hundreds of trees being cut down! Wendy, you made me realise what a competent public relations expert can achieve seemingly on any subject matter.
I have been working with Wendy for over three years now and cannot recommend her enough to a business who is looking to partner with a value for money PR agency. Wendy has a can do attitude and is resilient in her approach. She is easily able to turn the complicated into simple. She was able to arrange and coordinate very successful media road-shows for our business with good results.
Parker Public Relations accepted a difficult task on short notice to promote our Inside Bitcoins Conference in Melbourne. The company did a terrific work obtaining publicity for the show both prior to and during the event. I would certainly look forward to engaging Wendy Parker in the near future.
Wendy is an integral part to our public relations activities. She is professional, proactive and shows a genuine interest in our business. She has helped us develop great story ideas and build valuable relationships with key financial media journalists which in turn has resulted in regular, ongoing publicity. We would have no hesitation recommending Wendy to anyone looking for a professional public relations practitioner.
We started working with Parker Public Relations with the aim of increasing our profile in the local market. In a very short period, she had not only grasped the uniqueness of our solutions but now communicates this uniqueness in a way that makes sense and excites our stake holders. As a result of Wendy’s work, our profile increased significantly in just a matter of months and with all the right people!
Understanding your brand value can be a difficult undertaking. Wendy’s personal branding and thought leadership coaching, strategy and action plan allows you to begin navigating this complex area with purpose. The clear structure she provides in enhancing your reputation and capability to present as a leader in my field was of an enormous assistance. Importantly, the approach is grounded in authenticity which makes the process very comfortable and empowering.
Wendy’s skills in assisting SEMF lift its brand image and profile has been invaluable. She has the wonderful ability to understand the technical aspects of engineering and science based construction projects and put them into interesting and newsworthy articles that the public appreciates and enjoys reading.
As a small not for profit we have big ideas but a lack of people/resources/skills to deliver. Using Wendy and her team to help us with our Sustainable Communities – Tidy Towns and our Sustainable Cities awards was a fantastic decision. It helped us clarify what we’re doing and who we are delivering our awards to. Wendy is calm with a steely determined spine that really helped build our reach and impact of the awards.
