A 10 year client partnership based on authentic story telling
Carers SA provides support to family carers across South Australia, through advice, information, training, counselling and respite.
Family carers save the Australian economy more than $40 billion each year, by providing in-home care to a friend or a loved one.
For more than 10 years, Carers SA has chosen communikate et al to:
Due to the sensitivities that can surround the role of caring, identifying case studies for use in the media required genuine and trusted relationships.
It’s also important Carers SA reach the right audience, with a lack of awareness amongst some groups (predominately women between 50 – 60) not identifying themselves as carers, and therefore not seeking support. Many in the community also need to be aware of Carers SA in order to refer their friends, families or colleagues.
In telling carers stories, we worked closely with Carers SA and family carers to ensure:
We also ensured publicity was aligned with Carers SA’s initiatives and programs, including:
In helping to navigate changes and reforms in the industry and raise awareness with relevant groups, we also identified the need for a strategic marketing campaign.
A thorough analysis of the target audience determined that a modest campaign utilising both traditional and digital channels would reach the most people while remaining cost effective.
The story of Carers SA had a consistent presence across a diverse range of media over more than a decade. Highlights included:
The strategic marketing campaign included:
We also set up and managed a Google Ads Grant account for Carers SA. This allowed them to leverage their not-for-profit status and receive free text ads on the Google Search network, increasing brand awareness and driving traffic to their website.
The South Australian Museum worked with communikate on a SA Tourism Award submission. The submission is a huge task with many moving parts and communikate helped bring it all together seamlessly. Always a pleasure working with CK!

Bec, Henry and the team understood our brand from the get go and it showed from concept to delivery. During an intensely busy time for our team, they worked seamlessly with us to develop and manage an integrated campaign... The results were outstanding and put the hotel in an excellent position to launch into a competitive market, with strong occupancy experienced. We really value our partnership.
communikate were initially engaged to assist in rebranding and marketing. I was most impressed with the way they listened, interpreted our ideas and turned them into something the whole community took pride in…. Their strategy helped us to achieve strong enrolment numbers… I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a professional, innovative, talented and highly relational marketing (and more) agency.
We have been hugely impressed with the way communikate et al have immersed themselves in learning our brand and respecting our approach. It felt like they just ‘got us’ from the start! It has been such a pleasure working with their professional, smart and dynamic team.
We love the Daily Moves branding that communikate et al created. It is friendly, flexible for different applications, and our marketing collateral stands out from the rest. We have received a lot of compliments from participants and stakeholders who love it just as much as we do.
communikate et al were an integral part of the King William Road upgrade team from the initial community consultation right through to completion. The brand they created fit the project perfectly. They took the time to understand the complexities and always delivered with strategic oversight, ensuring things were done with purpose and meaning. Having them on board was invaluable.
communikate et al has been our trusted partner for strategic communications and advice over a number of years. The team is always responsive and reliable, and the quality of work is first rate.
communikate bring a valuable offering to project delivery mainly due to their industry experience in navigating through complex situations by providing balanced points of views with focused outcomes.
Could not be happier with the team at communikate et al. They understand us, and that is reflected in the brand assets they crafted for our business. The positive feedback has been overwhelming.
