Sedgwick Communications welcomes new Comms Consultant

Sedgwick Communications has welcomed Jess Phillips as Communications Consultant, as the business continues to grow its strategic communications capabilities across public relations, social media and influencer marketing, and more.

She joins with over seven years of agency experience in Sydney and London, across a range of sectors, including FMCG, lifestyle, wellness, retail, financial services and travel.

Sedgwick Communications Managing Director and Founder, Laura Sedgwick, said Jess had already made a strong and positive impression in her first days with the agency.

“Jess has a natural enthusiasm and curiosity about how we can continue to elevate brands and tell stories that matter, which is exactly what matters in a boutique agency with a diverse client portfolio. As we expand, we’re excited to have someone who will not only strengthen our team, but also help us build even greater momentum across the business in Australia and New Zealand.”

Jess added: "Sedgwick Communications stood out to me for its strong client work, purpose-led campaigns, collaborative culture and breadth of industries it works across. I’m excited to join the team at such a dynamic time for the agency, and look forward to continuing the great work already being done whilst elevating my skillset along the way.”

3CPR launches AI-powered reporting dashboard

Specialist corporate and financial communications consultancy, 3CPR, has launched CLARIO, an AI-powered reporting dashboard.

CLARIO - standing for Clarity and Innovation - was developed in-house by 3CPR’s data scientist. It tracks media coverage outcomes and key programme metrics, allowing clients to access live reporting and download charts, graphs, and data for internal use.

According to the consultancy, unlike broader media monitoring platforms, CLARIO focuses on the work undertaken by 3CPR and the resulting outcomes. It has also enabled the agency to move from half-yearly or annual reporting to an always-on model, reducing the time required to compile reports manually.

3CPR Founding Partner, Paul Cheal, said: “Media outcomes remain a key metric for PR performance, but for too long we have been stuck using tedious, time-consuming spreadsheets and relying on reporting that focuses on hindsight. AI provides a generational opportunity to change our approach - linking our activity to tangible business outcomes and providing real time visibility of strategic opportunities.

“The CLARIO platform offers a near real time view of media outcomes, tailored to each organisation’s goals and KPIs. It provides significant time saving for PR teams and delivers greater transparency to clients.

“We have already received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our clients. In the spirit of lifting our profession as a whole, we are offering a white label version for corporates or agencies who want to revamp how they report on their proactive activities and media campaign outcomes.”
