Our Work
Our team brings a wealth of experience to the table, across a wide range of industries. Following are some recent projects we have worked on.
City of Canning:
Hunter have worked with the City of Canning on multiple projects in 2016, providing high level strategic communications counsel as the organisation repositions itself as a dynamic metropolitan regional council.
Our team has worked closely with the City’s CEO and marketing team to develop and implement high level communications strategies.
As part of the implementation, we oversaw the design and production of a city prospectus, video fly-through, website, video, Government briefing papers and media engagement plan.
St John Ambulance WA:
St John Ambulance (SJA) is one of the most established and recognisable brands in WA, providing first aid services more than 120 years. The acquisition of four GP clinics in June from Apollo Health with a view to evolve to Urgent Care Centres needed strategic stakeholder mapping and engagement. Hunter worked with the SJA project team to develop a strategy that mapped out every stakeholder from Government to volunteers across WA and exactly how they would be communicated to and when. Tactics included CEO video messages, social strategies, FAQs, open letters, Ministerial briefings and multiple staff briefings to accommodate the 24/7 ambulance and call centre rosters. The result was widespread support for the announcement – one of the biggest changes to the SJA business in its history.
Mandurah Forum:
Vicinity Centres engaged Hunter to provide public relations, issues management and stakeholder engagement support for the launch and construction of their $350m Mandurah Forum shopping centre redevelopment. Hunter developed and implemented a strategy for the launch event which was officiated by the Hon. Premier of WA. We have continued to support the client throughout the redevelopment, working closely with local media to help generate community support and excitement for the development throughout its construction.
Western Power:
Hunter Communications provides media, strategic communications, stakeholder engagement, brand and marketing support to Western Power’s communications team to manage the utility’s corporate reputation. This service includes Nicole taking on the challenging role of Head of Stakeholder and Communications. As a member of the organisation’s Senior Leadership Team, she provides strategic communications to support the State’s major electricity distribution and transmission industry.
Mayfair Lane:
Media coverage and social media influencer support is critical for the opening of a new restaurant. Hunter was engaged by West Perth gastro pub Mayfair Lane to manage traditional and social media. The Hunter team worked closely with food and wine journalists and social media influencers in Perth, organising exclusive digital influencer long table dinners, media interviews, food reviews as well as managing media at the launch party. In total, Hunter secured 15 print, online and blog articles and 50 social media mentions. Coverage included in influential publications such as The West, Urban List, The Social Pages, Good Food of Perth, Morsels and Broadsheet Perth and a positive review in the The West Australian.
Perth Racing :
The 2016 Ascot Racing Carnival was transformed by the introduction of the $3 million TABtouch Masters, a world-first event becoming a major feature of Australia’s racing and events calendar.
Perth Racing engaged Hunter to develop and implement a social media strategy for the Carnival, focussed on connecting a younger generation of racegoers with the sport by visually showing the full range of experiences to enjoy at Ascot.
The strategy resulted in a successful launch of three new social platforms and an increase in followers and engagement across existing platforms. The Perth Racing Facebook page increased engagement by 352%, the Snapchat filter was viewed over 104,000 times and over 1,600 patrons jumped on the hashtag #AscotGoodTimes, sharing their Ascot experience.
Perth Royal Wine Show:
Hunter helped the Royal Agricultural Society (RAS) raise the profile of the 2016 Perth Royal Wine Show by leveraging the attendance of Master of Wine Sarah Jane Evans and connect the show with a wider audience through social media.
To generate excitement about the award on social media, Hunter invited food and wine social media influencers to an intimate wine tasting with the world renowned judge. RAS provided influencers with some insight into the award and the judging process, before Sarah-Jane Evans hosted a tasting of her favourites from the show. The social media influencers were all provided with tasting notes, background information and RAS social media handles. The event resulted in widespread social media coverage, making over 88,000 impressions and over 1,600 pieces of engagement.
Racing and Wagering WA:
Nicole was engaged by RWWA to develop the agency’s corporate social responsibility strategy. A strategy covering the organisation’s people, reputation, community, environment and governance was developed and then implemented. A key component was the management of the organisation’s $1million philanthropic program under which more than 50 community partnerships were formed with not-for-profit community groups across Western Australia. Nicole was responsible for developing the sponsorship program, managing and then leveraging the sponsorship.
Lifeline WA:
Hunter was sought by Lifeline WA to develop a strategy to reinvigorate its annual Christmas appeal, Lights for Lifeline. The solution, light up Elizabeth Quay with Perth’s biggest Christmas tree to create a centrepiece for the campaign. The tree was adorned with 55,000 lights, representing every Western Australian who reached out to the charity for help in 2016. Hunter gathered some of Perth’s best creative and event manager to bring the campaign to life. The appeal raised more than $200,000 throughout December.
Our Clients
Testimonials
Nicole Moody was immensely helpful with the City’s public relations campaign ‘Fight for Canning’. Nicole’s experience and professionalism to take a very complex issue and communicate to a very broad audience was instrumental in the campaign’s success. I have been fortunate to work with Nicole on another occasion where her media management skills were outstanding in dealing with a major international crisis. I would have no recommendation in recommending her services.
Lisa Bradley - City of Canning
In December Lifeline WA launched our biggest-ever fundraising campaign with WA’s tallest Christmas tree. The team at Hunter was right beside us every step of the way, and was instrumental in helping us raise more than $200,000 in one month.
Hunter helped us pro-bono with communications strategies and a successful media roll-out.
We simply cannot express our gratitude for the opportunities that have come our way thanks to the relationship that we have with Nicole and her team at Hunter.
Susan Schofield, Marketing Manager - Lifeline WA
For a long time Nicole Moody was my 'go to' person whenever I needed a clear-eyed perspective on a difficult issue and the sound advice on how best to manage it. Knowing that Nicole was just a phone call away was always immensely reassuring. Nicole is without doubt one of the smartest and most experienced communications professionals you will find.
Andrew Walton - Group Public Affairs Manager, HBF
I have only worked with Nicole for a very short period of time but in that time she has demonstrated an innate ability to hit the ground running, apply a broad thinking mindset and deliver successful business outcomes in a highly professional and engaging manner. Driving this year’s TAB sponsorship of the Perth Fashion Festival was not only a great example of a strategy coming to life but the end result far exceeded our expectations due to her energy, commitment and exceptional relationship building skills.
Matthew Thomas - General Manager HR, Racing and Wagering WA
I have used Nicole's services extensively in some very difficult and high profile industrial relations disputes. Her knowledge of, and contacts in the media, understanding of government, and ability to write clear concise updates to employees has proved to be invaluable.
