Currie’s owners came from the land, via newsrooms. Change is a constant in our lives. We know that it’s not enough to be part of a conversation about change – you have to lead it.
We’re lucky to work with clients who feel the same way, leaders who change things for the better. It’s led to us becoming Australia’s first PR firm to be a certified B Corporation. We’re using the power of business for good.
Our sustainability story
Currie Sustainability Report 2019
With Australia tackling the challenges of a changing climate, it’s never been timelier to consider what it is we can do to build a better future for our world.
Currie is fully committed to playing our part in a sustainable future – a fairer and kinder future for all. And we’ve been on this journey for some time.
In 2014, Currie proudly became a certified B Corporation – a company that uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. And in 2016, we joined as a participant of the United Nations Global Compact.
Now, in our second Sustainability Report, we take stock of how we’re progressing.
Our charismatic leader, Mark, thrives on the big picture. An inspiring facilitator and Fellow of the Public Relations Institute of Australia, he helps organisations find their voice and see their future more clearly. The son of Corgi breeders, Mark would like to change the world for the better.
A former managing editor, Susan knows how to organise. No matter how tight the deadline or challenging the brief, she draws on her significant experience and problem solving ability to get the best result. A popular public speaker, particularly on rural issues, Susan has strong opinions on where punctuation marks belong.
Gabrielle is the great-all-rounder: manager of consultation and stakeholder relations, writer of strategies and case studies, developer of collateral, passionate traveller and occasional tango dancer. She listens, she writes and she delivers. She’s had extensive experience and knows how to navigate government departments and the corporate world.
Sophie wants to make the world a better place and believes that by improving agricultural systems, conserving natural resources and supporting rural communities we can do this. She is passionate about evidence-based insights into communication, agriculture and the environment and applying those to help farmers become more productive, profitable and environmentally sustainable.
Our financial aficionado and Asian culinary queen, Meemee keeps our budgets on track and our stomachs satisfied. Currie’s longest serving team member, she’s got an outstanding track record in fiscal and office management and is always open to ideas to make Currie more fa (prosperous).
With almost 30 years’ experience in the print media, Rosalea has written, edited, designed, proofread and published magazines, books and newspapers in hardcopy and electronically for the mainstream mass market and for niche special-interest and industry consumerships. She believes every individual has a story to tell and relishes collaborating with clients to make their voices heard. A curious, detail-driven production journalist at heart, she embraces working to tight deadlines as the ultimate adrenaline sport.
Gillian uses her communications and engagement talents with master’s-level sustainability knowledge to help businesses change for the better. With a flair for strategic thinking and passion for the environment, she has honed her skills during an extensive career in the government water and waste sectors. A Brit living in Melbourne, Gillian continues to complain about the weather and stubbornly refuses to call courgettes zucchinis or aubergines eggplants.
Laura Griffin brings extensive agricultural media relations and editorial expertise to the Currie team. Her work at Stock & Land saw her selected for Fairfax Media’s Emerging Leaders Program. Laura enjoys time spent on the Yielima family farm in northern Victoria, and loves nothing more than cooking themed feasts for family and friends.
As a someone fascinated in data and the truths (and untruths) it tells, Ryan is a strong believer in evidence-based decision-making. As an idealist turned realist, he's interested in seeing how we can make the right decisions for positive social change. In his spare time, Ryan geeks out with board games and a good book.
With communications experience in emergency services, community services, gender-based violence research, and agriculture behind her, Laura brings to Currie an ability to adapt to and understand a variety of complex content. Laura grew up on a sheep/wheat farm in the Riverina, NSW and is currently completing postgraduate study in Sustainability and Climate Policy.
