“I am thrilled to write this testimonial for the incredible publicity team that has been an integral part of our radio business for the past 13 years. Their unwavering professionalism and dedication have been instrumental in our success. From day one, they have consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of our brand and have gone above and beyond to ensure our message resonates with our audience. Their ability to adapt to the ever-changing media landscape while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism is truly commendable. Their attention to detail, proactive approach, and seamless execution have made every project a success. It’s a pleasure working with such a talented and committed team. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking for top-notch publicity support.”
Dee Curtis, Nova Entertainment - Market Lead & National Director of Audience Engagement

“Shout Communications has worked with us across several of our key productions including Mary Poppins, & Juliet and the Brisbane premiere of Hamilton. They are consummate professionals, creative thinkers, expertly knowledgeable and endlessly patient. But most importantly they are excellent fun to work with. I cannot recommend Liz and Michelle highly enough.”
Nathanael Cooper, Michael Cassel Group - Director of Publicity

“Carlton & United Breweries used the team from Shout Communications to help us with the re-launch of Power’s. Given the rich history of Power’s and the need to include Bernard Power in the launch to give it credibility, the PR campaign was always going to be a big project that needed to be well managed. The launch could not have gone any better from our perspective. We made all the major media outlets and reached an estimated 7.2 million people. We could not thank Michelle & Liz from Shout Communications enough for the role that they played. It will go down as one of our best launches ever in QLD.”
Ian Giles, Carlton & United Breweries - General Manager Sales QLD

“I have worked on many feature stories with Shout Communications for many years, and for me, they really are something to shout about. Professional. Reliable. Innovative. Diligent. Creative. Solutions driven, and perhaps most importantly, an utter joy to work with. Five Stars, every time.”

“Liz and Michelle’s creativity and proactive approach consistently exceeds our expectations. Whether it's through innovative campaigns, media opportunities, or crisis management, Shout Communications has proven time and again they are the best in the business. They bring a personal touch to every interaction, making us feel valued and supported every step of the way, and to top it off, they’re magnificent humans!”
Kylie Taylor, Head of Production Queensland - Seven Network
