KateCo. PR announces client wins and global growth

Independent communications agency, KateCo. PR, has announced a wave of new client wins across luxury, design, beauty and retail, following a period of growth.

The agency has recently been appointed by a suite of new clients, including Mattel (APAC), Collins Street Precinct and Boutique Homes. It has also strengthened its beauty and wellness roster, signing Essano, Senne Skin (the evolution of Tribe Skincare) and Muk Haircare.

KateCo. PR has also re-signed with long-term partners Cancer Council Sunscreen, major events Melbourne Fashion Week and Christmas in the City, and Melbourne Racing Club.

In the international market, the agency's global arm has continued to gain traction, currently representing Australian-born fitness brand Your Reformer in the US, with a rollout of media and consumer pop-up events in LA and Dallas, following an NYC pop-up in May.

KateCo. PR's global creative showings partnership with Two Hands Agency, The Residency, will return to New York City in September with a new slate of Australian brands to showcase to the US market.

Founder and Managing Director of KateCo. PR, Kate Keane, said the past six months have been huge for the agency.

"We've grown our client base, expanded our global footprint and welcomed new US team members across strategy, culture and talent. Our team is energised by the creative breadth of work on our books, from toy giants to design disruptors and cult beauty brands."
