Head Start Communications: A Niche Public Relations Agency
We help individuals, small business and the not for profit sector improve their brand recognition, public perception, plus maximise media exposure.
What is Public Relations?
Public Relations (PR) is primarily about effective external communication between your business and your target audience. It is part of the communications mix and unlike marketing or advertising, effective PR provides seemingly independent third party recognition and endorsement for your brand, making it distinctly more credible and influential than many other marketing investments.
PR manages the public perception of your brand, and is a strategic plus creative process that will shape public opinion through good storytelling. PR professionals are skilled in the art of creating a story for your business that media want to publish and your audience want to read, watch and listen to.
PR is one of the most effective ways to gain credibility, improve public perception and achieve a competitive edge.

Testimonials
Having never used a PR specialist before, I was thrilled when Kate supplied the first draft of my media release. It captured everything I wanted to say and the local paper picked up the story which was our aim. Kate is so pleasant to work with and I would highly recommend her services.” – Sharon Westin-Shaw

Thank you Kate and Head Start Communications.
When we first approached Kate for assistance with publicising and raising the profile of the Lymphoedema Association of Victoria in the general community, Kate provided several ideas and strategies we could use to do this. Suggestions included fundraising ideas and acknowledging the work done by our volunteers with awards of appreciation.Under Kate’s guidance profiles of several of our members have been prepared and these have been used on several occasions to publicize public meetings. Previously we had tried to get assistance from local newspapers and radio stations, with limited success. Since Kate started working with us our success rate has increased substantially.
Kate at Head Start Communications has been a valuable advisor and coordinator in the area of communication and media for Blind Sports & Recreation Victoria. We value her insights and suggestions in a range of areas, from targeting our key audience with the right messages to shaping some of our communication strategies around membership growth and ongoing participation in the sport and recreational activities offered by BSRV. We appreciate her professionalism. Many thanks Kate.
