Our story

Founded in 1997 by Fiona Hardie, we’ve experienced a lot of change in the media and marketing landscape. Starting out creating content for owned channels – predominately magazines and websites – we’re now a diverse marketing and communications network.

Some things haven't changed though. We remain proudly independent, and Australian owned. We are committed to a culture and workplace that is inclusive, diverse, equitable and innovative. And we are very involved in the movement towards Reconciliation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia. We have a strong Indigenous publishing list, we work with CareerTrackers to offer Indigenous internships, we support the Indigenous Literacy Foundation, and we have an accredited Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).
