Porter Novelli Adelaide

South Australia’s longest-serving public relations consultancy, Porter Novelli Adelaide is recognised nationally for its work across a range of sectors and clients - from small community-based organisations to leading international corporations, start-up companies, and State and Federal government departments and agencies.

In the past six years the consultancy has won three national Golden Target awards (the highest awards in Australia recognising achievements in public relations) as well as multiple State awards and commendations.

Porter Novelli has a demonstrated knowledge and experience in developing and delivering communication programs and campaigns to raise awareness and change behaviour, marketing communication campaigns that aim to drive sales, business-to-business programs to build active working partnerships and issues management strategies that have helped major corporations and family-owned businesses survive crises challenging their future.

The business employs a team of consultants in-house but its strength also lies in well-established networks of associate consultants and sub contractors with specialist skills in areas such as writing, photography, graphic design, exhibition and display design, printing, direct mail, advertising, video and film making, and marketing. This includes a strong network of regionally-based expertise around Australia to provide on the ground support and intelligence for clients with a rural focus.

The company is operated and part owned by two partners – managing director, Janice Hoad, founding director and key strategic adviser Richard Fewster. The Clemenger Group is also a significant shareholder.

Porter Novelli Adelaide is part of the national Australian-owned Porter Novelli group with partner offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Brisbane and Hobart. The Adelaide office heads up national expertise in rural and regional communications, and the environment sector.
