Independent public relations and content agency, Bud Communications, has secured several account wins in the first half of 2026.
The agency has added manufacturing company, Daikin, to its portfolio and has also been appointed to lead public relations across APAC for payments and fleet management solutions company, WEX.
“Australia has been one of our best growth stories these past two years,” said Oliver Budgen, CEO and Founder at Bud Communications.
“Going from a one-person outpost to a fast-growing team, and picking up accounts like Daikin and WEX, largely through word of mouth, comes down to how we work: focusing on building client believability, adopting and applying new technology, and nurturing a culture that lets us attract people who’d rather challenge how comms is done rather than repeat it.”
Bud has also added to its content team in Australia, bringing onboard former AdNews Deputy Editor, Ashley Regan, as the agency’s Senior Content Executive.
Richie Kenzie, Australia Lead, Bud Communications said: “We’re thrilled to have someone of Ash’s journalistic calibre join Bud’s Australia team. Not only does she expand our presence to Melbourne, she also brings a wealth of experience across industries where the majority of our clients do business. Her addition further demonstrates Bud’s ability to provide both best-in-class PR and genuinely impactful marketing content for our partners.
“Alongside the slate of new client wins we’ve had in the first half of the year, it’s been an extremely positive period overall for the business, and we’re excited to continue our upward momentum.”
