Global communications agency, Sling & Stone, has announced the launch of a deep tech specialism.
Tara Pereira has been appointed as Associate Director, Deep Tech & Science for Australia. She will spearhead the development of new, specialised services to support client ambitions across their entire lifecycle - from inception to launch, messaging and branding, funding announcements, and global market expansion.
The move builds on more than five years of experience in the sector, supporting startups, investors and government organisations to translate complex technologies into narratives across space, quantum, artificial intelligence, and scientific innovations.
The agency said the new specialism goes beyond traditional PR, helping deep tech startups craft their narratives from birth, propelling scale-ups into their next orbit of growth with communications, and expertise across borders in New Zealand and the United States.
CEO at Sling & Stone, James Hutchinson, said: "Sling & Stone is wired to champion the audacious companies building the future with new science and technology breakthroughs.
"For us, nothing is more critical than accelerating the innovations that will define our future, both here on Earth and beyond. Our team has a proven track record of taking complex technologies and help them resonate across government, academia, investors and the public.
"While many talk about deep tech, we�ve been in the trenches building it with the pioneers for years. We�re now doubling down on our expertise to provide deep tech companies, from stealth mode to global domination, with the rocket fuel they need to win big and transform industries."
The new specialism is bolstered by a string of client wins in the space, including the International Astronautical Conference 2025 (IAC) and WNT Ventures.
