Trans-Tasman integrated communications agency, Tonic Communications, has been appointed by Brisbane-headquartered Morgans Financial, to lead PR for its annual fundraiser, Big Dry Friday.

Starting immediately, Tonic will drive national awareness and participation for the campaign, led by recently appointed Brisbane-based Media and Communications Director, Amelia Oberhardt. The work will highlight Big Dry Friday's impact on rural and regional Australian communities.
