Perth Media Expands Team, Client List and Opens New Nedlands Office in Perth

PERTH: Media content and public relations firm — Perth Media Pty Ltd — has opened a new office in Nedlands in line with continuing expansion plans.

The development is the latest news in a series of organic growth milestones for the Perth-based small business.

Perth Media managing director Cate Rocchi said: “Perth Media has, to date, been a small operation but we have consistently built powerful global profiles for our clients through tailored integrated media and communications services.

“We act in an advisory, creative and media service capacity and have a strong network of journalist and broadcast partners and connections, so are uniquely placed to deliver global-standard media management services in the sectors of finance, mining, renewables and agribusiness.”

Perth Media was established in 2015. It rebranded from Cate Rocchi Communications which began in 2011.

Major clients include: resources companies Australian Vanadium (ASX:AVL), VSUN Energy and Bryah Resources (ASX: BYH); urbi; Partners in Grain; and Rockcliffe winery.

The Perth Media team now includes editor/writer Torrance Mendez (formerly of The West Australian).

“Our team — which has welcomed high calibre artists, photographers, former reporters and film makers — produces some of Australia’s best, most consistent media content for corporates,” Ms Rocchi said. “It has taken many years to assemble productive working relationships with such a talented and professional group. We have also been careful to grow our business conservatively, so quality has remained excellent.”

Perth Media values include: staying true to the principles of integrity, authenticity and clarity; continuous improvement; and innovative thinking.

“We remain focused on improving media outcomes for our clients and enjoy the challenge of mixing social and traditional media as we embrace the communications of the future,” she said.

The company’s current list of services are: script/copy writing, investor relations management, content creation, blogs, photography, videography, social media strategy and delivery, infographics, strategic media advisory and support, campaign research, publicity, global TV, radio and press coverage, media training, CV writing and speech writing. Packages are available.

“We know how to achieve publicity and we will give clients authentic advice on which stories and media services they need to reach their customers,” Ms Rocchi said.

Perth Media Pty Ltd is now located at 47 Hampden Road, Nedlands, Perth. For the next four weeks (until November 15, 2018) the company is hosting some rarely-available media release writing sessions ($350) and media presentations, by appointment. There are only eight slots available. Terms and conditions apply.

There are other key developments ongoing such as a website rebrand, which will be launched in 2019.

Perth Media's Christmas Message and Looking Forward to 2016

Greetings from Perth, Western Australia

Happy Christmas and Best Wishes for 2016
Perth Media wishes you well over the festive season.  Here is some quick news, before our office closes, until January 20, 2016.

This year has been sensational and Perth Media worked with many new and exciting clients. These are, in turn, doing fantastic things in Australia and overseas. Perth Media clients include H2OX (Sydney-based and ASX-listed water exchange), Sevenpeaks professional services in Melbourne, Southern Forests Food Council, Partners in Grain WA's Inspire summit, Dr Stephanie Davies and Dr Nick Cooke (authors of Rewire Your Pain), a series of content and PR projects with Leadership WA (some are fascinating articles soon to be released), Farming Champions' events Farmer on Your Plate and members' dinner with WA Chief Scientist, Linkwest, Latasha's Kitchen, Isolated Childrens' Parents Association, Women in Global Business, Southcare, Rainbow Fun and Priority1. Media results for clients have included many articles and reports - in WA Business News, The Australian, community news, industry titles including Oil & Gas Australia, ABC radio, ABC News 24, AAP, SBS, Radio Fremantle, Curtin FM, The Countryman and Bloomberg TV, and many more. Not only do the stories generate interest in the companies and organisations, but press exposure adds to credibility.

Services growing in popularity include Perth Media's targeted media databases, which now feature general media lists as well as specific targets such as agriculture, medical and wellness, resources global, not-for-profit, lifestyle, oil and gas global, and fashion. Media strategy sessions for 2016 are also proving popular and these have been booked by six clients over January. While many clients are returning time and time again for editing, copywriting and media pitching assistance. Blogging work has increased substantially as clients continue to take advantage of sales, thanks to quality Linkedin posts and Facebook rewarding original content. Drafting written content for clients, including speeches and columns, has been a big growth area for Perth Media in 2015.

Furthermore, several new services are now offered at Perth Media. Masterclasses in media training TV are available, with the help of award-winning cameraman Jason Thomas. Jason is also doing corporate photography for Perth Media and video work.

In addition, WA press photographer of the year, Tony Mcdonough, has begun working with Perth Media and is another specialist industrial, corporate and news photographer, and we are very fortunate to have him on board, producing high-quality visuals. Perth Media is also working with Reg Sorrell to offer several animation options for clients.

A big welcome to Janine Taylor, who has decades of international experience in transcription at the highest level. Janine is transcribing many interviews behind the scenes for Perth Media's increasing written content production workload.

Then there is the ongoing community work. It is a great pleasure to continue to serve on the Linkwest board (an opportunity to learn many aspects of governance and give back to assist some of WA's most vulnerable), as well as donate regularly to Rafiki Mwema (Kenyan refuge for girls), We Cant Wait (building toilets for girls in India), World Vision and to contribute to Farming Champions at a committee level. Perth Media has supported Telethon Adventurers over the year. The internship program at Perth Media is under way, as well as some strategic events. The first of which is a school holiday session with magician Ghupi, which will be a lot of fun.

On the theme of innovation, in 2016, Perth Media plans to conduct a series of seminars in Shanghai on media, with partners who are specialists in business strategy and investor relations. It will explain clearly and practically how media strategies need to work alongside business and investor relations' strategies. Announcement of those details will be out in February! The trip will also be an opportunity to learn more about the evolving media sector in China. Stay tuned.

Enjoy your families and friends everyone.
See you back full time January 20,  2016.
