The brief
National award-winning family-run business Bisinella Developments is one of the largest local residential and industrial developers in the City of Greater Geelong, generating a significant share of investment and jobs in the region.
Bisinella wanted proactive government relations, stakeholder management and media support to promote the launch of a new industrial development in Geelong, set to create 100 local jobs.
This included inviting and then leveraging a visit by Deputy Prime Minister and Federal Member for Corio Hon Richard Marles MP to strengthen government engagement and demonstrate the project’s regional economic importance.
Our approach
- Coordinating government engagement with the DPM’s office, establishing clear messaging, confirming ministerial priorities and aligning expectations ahead of the visit.
- Advising Bisinella on government-facing messaging and preparing detailed briefing documents, positioning the new site as catalyst for job creation and long-term regional economic growth.
- Drafting a media release that tied the significance of the launch event to how the new industrial development would enhance Geelong’s infrastructure and expand opportunities for local businesses.
- Developing extensive targeted media hit list and crafting a tight pitch, using key messages, to attract media interest
- Organising and coordinating on-the-ground talent and vision capture.
- Developing an attractive “media kit” consisting of compelling content and imagery for distribution to media pre and post-event for journalists who could not attend the media opportunity.
The results
- Strengthened Bisinella’s relationship with the DPM and his office, reinforcing the company as a trusted partner in regional development and job creation.
- Demonstrated the economic significance of the new industrial site to federal stakeholders, supporting Bisinella’s long-term government engagement objectives.
- Secured extensive media coverage across newspaper, and online, reaching a total audience of more than 15 million.
- Developed rapport with key media contacts in a primary location for Bisinella Developments
- Achieved substantial uplift across Bisinella’s owned social channels, including a 167% increase in Facebook interactions, a 1500% rise in LinkedIn followers and a 358% increase in Instagram engagement.
- Maintained momentum post-announcement through ongoing content amplification across Bisinella’s digital channels.
