Client Testimonials

"JAW Comms always deliver exceptional quality. Julie understands how to make ideas commercial and palatable for different target audiences, has an ability to 'join the dots', and an innate ability to build concrete products from concepts. She helps us get our voice heard - by the right people and at the right time. Julie is a strategic and confidential sounding board for a CEO, helping to reality test ideas, explore issues, frame options and be that essential supporter to the sometimes-lonely role of CEO."
Alexandra Gartmann, Former CEO, FRRR

"Philanthropy Australia worked with JAW Communications to deliver the Community and Philanthropy Partnerships Week initiative, and I’ve found Julie and her team to be very professional. The communications they produce are of high quality and Julie and her team are always responsive, flexible and a source of good advice."
Krystian Seibert, Philanthropy Australia

"JAW Communications has been our external communications advisor for the past two years. Julie has worked on a number of detailed and complex papers for both internal and external publication. It is not only the quality of the work but her commitment to getting the job done right that sets her apart."
Leigh Penberthy, Former Chairman, ASPIA

About JAW Communications

Our Story

My team and I are passionate about helping organisations harness the power of communication to achieve their goals.

We get excited about working with great people doing things they are passionate about. We enjoy helping groups build and protect their reputation, enhance their profile and grow their reach. But we believe that before you start telling the outside world what you are doing, it's critical to have your staff, volunteers and partners engaged and informed. That's why we work across both internal and external communication.

We’re inquisitive and ask challenging questions to understand what you’re trying to achieve, so we can help you get the strategy right. We’re flexible in how we partner with our clients – providing whatever support you require, from big picture to minute detail.

Our team brings a broad mix of experience to every project - from not-for-profits and corporations, to higher education. I started working in not-for-profit organisations more than 25 years ago. Since then, I’ve worked in a wide range of organisations – listed, private, government, not-for-profit and member-associations - in industries as diverse as financial services and hospitality, engineering to agriculture. The same it true for the rest of our team.

I fundamentally believe in the power of business, but also the importance of community and for-purpose organisations. That's why we still work across all sectors, but we have a particular passion for working with leaders in not-for-profit organisations.

We’ve seen first-hand the power of great communication – but also the damage that can be done to individuals and to organisations through poor communication. That's why we are keen to partner with organisations doing great work to help them get cut-through.

Are you wondering if your communications are effective? Not sure if you are using the right channels to get the right messages to the right people at the right time?

With more than 25 years' experience in communications, we can review what you're doing and give you some advice on how to do it better.

We do this through a mini communications audit - looking at what you're doing and giving you a report that will give you a snapshot of what's working well and what you could be doing differently to engage your community.

Inclusions:

Includes reviewing your communication plan / strategy; your analytics; your key messages; a sample of your recent communications through your various channels (maximum 7) and a snapshot report (max 4 pages) back on what's working well, what's not and how you could enhance it. Excludes implementing any recommendations.
