How we generated $1.3 million in media stories that spoke to key influencers and decision makers
HASSELL is a global, integrated design practice that designs buildings and places to deliver economic, social, cultural and environmental value to clients.
communikate et al was strategic communications partner of HASSELL for over 12 years.
During this time we were charged with developing and driving a strategic media relations program to support their sector-based business development.
We worked with the communications, business development and design teams to highlight sector and design expertise through:
We also acted as a valued adviser on communication strategy in consultation with key influencers, clients and government to protect and promote the HASSELL brand and reputation.

Our strong relationships with Principals at HASSELL allowed us to deliver these unprecedented results in mainstream and specialist media both nationally and internationally, including:
*PR value is the advertising space rate multiplied by three
It has been excellent working with communikate. They have been very professional throughout our project and their creativity has delivered a unique product that captured our needs in an exciting and unexpected way. I look forward to working with them more in the future.
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.
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’s strategic thinking and appreciation of our complex political overlay as a subsidiary of the City of Adelaide has helped us establish our presence with our stakeholders and the community. They have developed media and influencer campaigns that have delivered outcomes exceeding expectations and identified potential risks and how to manage them. Their digital expertise has strengthened our social media presence and website information architecture and they are a knowledgeable source of digital best practice. The team produces quality work within tight timeframes and keep us informed of progress. It’s a really positive working relationship.
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.
We turned to communikate et al to rename and rebrand our organisation following a change in ownership. Within a tight timeframe, the team got up to speed quickly and delivered on a brand strategy that set the foundation for the new identity. From an interim website, corporate signage and collateral, merchandise, uniforms, property signage and our rollingstock, communikate were strategic, creative and responsive, and became a genuine part of our team during the transition period. We’re proud of our new brand, which is bold, confident and successfully reflects who we are today and will serve us well into the future.
Following the successful development of our new website, communikate et al has maintained a proactive approach to the refinement and improvements of content and key messages in collaboration with our team. They embraced and supported us in all communication relating to the impact of COVID-19. They’re a friendly and responsive team with all requests being eagerly supported.
communikate et al has become an important and trusted partner... They share our passion. We greatly value their flexibility, their responsiveness, their turnaround times, their honest appraisal of projects and their collegiality. Most of all we love the fact that they have supported our focus on achieving outcomes for older people.
communikate delivered a significant and memorable milestone in the 108-year old story of Kennett which is no easy task! The entire branding process was robust, enjoyable, thorough and could not have been executed by a more practical, engaging and selfless team than the one at communikate et al. My favourite part however was that at no time did they ever talk a big game, it was just all actions.
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.
