Media campaigns

From a targeted media release to a coordinated campaign, we craft the story, pitch and manage coverage.

Support for researchers

We don’t just work with the ‘big stories,’ we have brought the discoveries and inventions of early career researchers to the public.

MEET THE TEAM

We don’t just get one big story for our clients. We create stories that generate hundreds of interactions with stakeholders, the media, and the public, and that stay true to the science.

We are deeply collaborative in our work – ensuring that our clients retain public and private ownership of their achievements. We’ve worked with Department of Industry, Questacon, Nature, JST and RIKEN, AIMS, CSL, all of the Group of Eight universities and other leading science organisations.

We’ve mentored and supported dozens of Australian researchers in developing their own public profiles, including Ingrid Scheffer, Amanda Bauer, Lisa Harvey-Smith, Lee Hickey, John O’Sullivan, and Angela Moles.

We are part of the science communication community. Our team has served in leadership positions on state and national committees of the Australian Science Communicators, and on the boards of Research Australia and the BioMelbourne Network. We have introduced dozens of interns to the world of practical, hands-on science communication.

We provide all the services of a PR agency – communication and social media strategies, websites, case studies and other publications, videos, issues management, training, etc.

We do all of the above in partnership with your communication and marketing teams. Science in Public is not a public brand. We want you to know who we are. We want your public to know who you are.
