Steph Curley
Impact & Activism Manager
"Wow - Luke and his team worked with us at Ben & Jerrys in Australia over 2023 and I cannot recommend Compass more highly! The activism work we do can be tricky, and hard for many media companies to really do well, but Luke, Jonas, Mel & the rest of the Compass team absolutely blew it out of the water! Not only did they get incredible results for the campaign, on a personal note they are a pleasure to work with and go above and beyond every time. Thanks Compass for a great year working together!"

FAQs
Thinking about engaging Compass Studio to amplify your impact? Here are the answers you’re looking for.
What makes Compass different from other PR & Strategic Communications agencies?
We’re a senior-led team with deep industry expertise, real media relationships, and a proven record in driving both brand love and business outcomes. We don’t just talk impact—we help you prove it.
Why should I choose Compass Studio for a strategy?
Our strategies are built for brands with purpose. We combine clarity, creativity and commercial thinking to deliver roadmaps that drive results—no fluff, just impact.
What are the advantages of using an agency rather than just doing it myself?
You could do it yourself—but that means juggling strategy, storytelling, execution, and measurement. With Compass, you get a tight-knit team of senior experts who move fast, act strategically, and know what works in the purpose-led space. We get to know your brand inside out—and act like an extension of your team.
What are the advantages of using a PR agency rather than just doing it myself?
It takes time to write press releases, find contacts, and liaise with journalists, influencers, and producers to get your story out to the masses. While having some contacts in your rolodex is a definite advantage, you can’t always rely on one publication elevating your brand into a new space. The ultimate benefit of PR is creating media diversity. We’re able to tap into our contact lists and amplify your message in the channels that give you access to a wider audience. Impact is a big space, which has afforded us the opportunity to build a network of contacts across industries, meaning your brand will continue to appear in relevant outlets that match your campaign needs.
I’ve done PR before and wasn’t satisfied with the results. What makes Compass different?
Just like any other industry, you may find a partner who sounds great on paper, but doesn’t always understand your mission. This is why our work stands out against our competitors. We don’t do cookie-cutter. We find the right angle, connect it with the right media, and create campaigns that get noticed. Our relationships, insights, deep industry knowledge and creativity set us apart—and deliver real results. It’s a point-of-difference that we promise, you’ll feel.
How do you measure success and ROI?
We align our campaign metrics with your business goals—whether that’s media reach, conversion rate, ROAS, or engagement. Then we report on what matters, with total transparency.
How much does a creative campaign cost?
Short answer: it depends. Campaigns are scoped based on the outcome you’re after, the services needed, the channels, and the scale of delivery. We’ll always provide clear costing upfront, and we tailor solutions to your goals and budget.
What is included in your standard PR services?
We offer full-service PR: strategy, media outreach, releases, editorial placement, newsjacking, thought leadership, influencer partnerships, events, and media training—tailored to your brand and objectives.
What is PR?
Public Relations is how your brand earns attention and builds trust—through media coverage, thought leadership, events, and storytelling. It shapes how people perceive and connect with your brand.
