About Us

For over 30 years, we've seen projects fail without community support,

businesses struggle when their customers don't understand their offerings,

and crisis situations escalate due to a lack of clear, convincing messages.

​

This is why we established Effective Engagement.

​

We know that genuine connection and clear communication are often the hardest parts of any project, with community friction already leading to the cancellation or delay of more than $30 billion worth of Australian Infrastructure projects.

​

Executive and Project Managers around the world also agree that poor communication contributes to project failure, with one out of 5 failing due to ineffective communication. 

 

That's where we come in. We're a specialist consulting firm offering services and training programs built on one simple idea: to help you genuinely connect with your audience, deliver your message, and influence the results you need.

​

We don't just talk about strategies; we give you practical, real-world solutions that work. We bring over three decades of hands-on experience across government, the private sector, and community engagement. We've been in the trenches, faced the tough crowds, and navigated complex political landscapes – and we consistently deliver proven results because we know what actually works.

 

Our core principle is simple: every conversation is important, and every audience is different.

 

You won’t get a standard formula or flow chart to follow; we don't use a standard, "one-size-fits-all" approach. Instead, we work with you to create strategies and/or training programs that are suited to your unique situation and audience.
