Edelman opened its office in Melbourne in September 2002.
Setting out with a clear vision to become a specialist corporate consulting firm in the local market, our staff have a diverse mix of consulting and in-house work experience – from NGO and higher education to telecommunications, transport, oil and automotive industries. As a result, we now rank among the fastest growing consultancies in the Melbourne market with a specialty in corporate communications, business to business marketing, employee engagement and issues management.
Our clients include Toyota, Fosters, AstraZeneca, Ajilon, AIG, 7-Eleven, National Australia Bank, AWB, ALSTOM, Reckitt Benckiser and Shell Retail, among others. Our work with National Australia Bank was recently recognised in the Asia Pacific PR Awards 2006 where we were awarded a ‘Highly Commended’ title for our work in helping them to engage more effectively with their key stakeholders.
We operate either hands-on as part of the client team or as consultants, depending on our clients' needs and their in-house capacity. We are structured around the virtual team concept - with senior consultants responsible for meeting client needs, while ensuring client access to the best expertise, either in or outside the firm.
The Melbourne team works closely with Edelman colleagues in Sydney and around the world, as well as with a range of independent experts in research, financial communications and employee engagement.
