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.”
