Renowned public affairs and strategic communications consultancies, The Civic Group, Civic Reputation and Civic Financial Communications have adopted a new partnership model and will now be known as The Civic Partnership.
The Civic Partnership will bring a management advisory approach to help clients anticipate, participate and communicate for influence and outcomes, a first for communications consultancies in Australia.
A number of recent senior additions have joined the new advisory firm, including Federal Government Minister, Alan Griffin, ex-Ogilvy Managing Director Leon Beswick and Chris Brinkworth (founder of Civic Data), one of Australia’s MarTech and AdTech leaders.
Managing Partner, Jason Aldworth, said the industry was ripe for change, and The Civic Partnership is that change, setting a new benchmark in communications consulting.
“Over the past two years while many agencies made redundancies, our focus was on growth and adding new services and expertise – we’re now bigger, better and bolder than ever.”
“Having attracted some of the best brains in the business, we’ve further boosted our big data, financial communications, litigation support, health communications and public affairs capabilities.”
“We’ve recently made some significant senior hires, picked up emerging industry stars and with offices in Melbourne and Sydney we’re servicing an increasing number of national and international clients,” he said.
Since the first agency launched in 2011, Civic’s service proposition has steadily expanded to meet the needs of clients in an ever-evolving communications landscape.
With the launch of Civic Data in 2021, the group’s data and privacy offering has the know-how and technology demanded by the data revolution, delivering solutions that are relevant, scalable and future-proof while ensuring ethics, governance and compliance are bonded to strategic growth.
