Strategic storytelling and media partnerships
Engage BushTV
Strategic storytelling and media partnerships for consultants and organisations who want to communicate their work with clarity, integrity and consistency. View our Portfolio to have a look at the kind of story work we do. We are a full service agency so do way more than just deadly stories. We are a one stop shop for consultants and organisations who don’t want to employ their own media teams – but want to look and feel highly professional, relevant and professional.
BushTV mostly partners with Indigenous consultants and organisations, health services, foundations and purpose-driven enterprises who understand that communication is not decoration. It is responsibility.
We do not produce content for the sake of activity.
We build narrative infrastructure over time and help you shape your brand through consistent storytelling.
Story is not marketing. It is stewardship.
Organisations and consultants doing meaningful work deserve communication that reflects the depth and integrity of what they do.
Too often, important programs are underrepresented, inconsistently communicated, or reduced to surface-level posts that do not reflect real impact.
BushTV exists to help organisations shape, document and present their work with care. Not louder. Clearer.
Who This Is For
These partnerships are suited to consultants and organisations who:
- Want consistent video and written content
- Deliver community-based programs or services
- Need marketing and communications support but do not want to build a full internal media team
- Value culturally safe and ethically grounded storytelling
- Are prepared to commit to a 12-month partnership
This is not suited to organisations seeking short-term publicity or fast volume output without process.
How We Work
BushTV operates as a remote narrative partner.
Your organisation supplies footage, photography and access to staff where required.
We shape that material into structured, aligned communication across video, digital and written platforms. We can travel and collect video, photo and content for you but this needs to be quote separately and pricing is dependant on your location.
All partnerships operate under a 12-month agreement which we send to you for execution.
Strategic storytelling requires continuity. The first quarter builds alignment. The remaining months build rhythm and measurable presence.
On-site filming and travel can be quoted separately when required. Quite often this only involves one trip where we shoot all the content we need of staff and locations and buildings etc, then we have enough to use in all our stories and posts for you.

We do not extract stories without care.
BushTV operates with long term relationships, clear consent and grounded storytelling practice at its core.
Our partnerships are limited each year to ensure depth, quality and accountability.
What We Require
To make this partnership effective, your organisation provides:
- A single point of contact for approvals

- Timely feedback
- Access to the website backend where relevant
Major brand redesign, full website builds, paid advertising management and large scale documentary projects are quoted separately.

How I Work
I have worked with change makers from the earliest stages of campaign development. I utilise cultural leadership teams across Australia. Our story teams are multilingual and offer community-based messaging in specific remote languages. Community-based people are the experts of their community and, as such are an integral part of all campaign development. When we empower local lived experience community people to be the experts in their own community good things happen. Community engagement actually works. Campaigns gain traction. Stories are shared and talked about. Why? Because everyone watching it knows the people and places in the story. Their universe is centred and this does not often happen for people living on the margins or in remote locations.
Why I Work
Culturally aligned localised storytelling is the key to successful communication strategies. A national campaign is a series of localised remote stories in various languages representing the diversity of people across Australia. As a strategic communicator, my mission is to deliver essential messages appropriately and ensure the right audience sees, hears, and enjoys the stories. Often I help Organisations create internal platforms that carry their branded stories. Social media and youtube have democratised who can have a media platform. You don’t have to be rich to have your own platform. But you do need to have a purpose and a burning desire to make the world a better place. Authenticity and integrity drive social impact.
Who I Work With
Many stories include people from Australia and increasingly all over the world. If there’s an incredible social impact driver with a story to tell, I do my best to support them with stories and campaign assistance. A story campaign without a strategy often falls short of creating social impact and change. Much of the work me and my team do is strategic and behind the scenes. The stories are often a byproduct of a solid campaign idea. When campaigns come together and gain traction, Organisations often say, ‘well that worked well’. This gives me a profound sense of purpose and satisfaction and reminds me that stories are an essential part of who we are as humans; no matter where we are from.

WHAT WE DO
MY PORTFOLIO
I specialise in cultivating enduring relationships with social impact legends all over the world, maintaining long-term partnerships rather than engaging in sporadic projects. My expertise lies in crafting compelling narratives and orchestrating impactful campaigns and media content strategies that align with our clients values. I possess a diverse skill set encompassing storytelling, campaigning, fundraising, video production, editing, design and print, radio, web, and social media, allowing me to execute multi-channel campaigns seamlessly.
The fruits of my labour are prominently displayed on various platforms, including television, social media, radio, web, extensive email networks, community video and radio hubs. Occasionally, I create content for esteemed national film festivals and conferences, although I seldom rely on funding grants. Making the world a better place just doing what I love is what drives me.
Most of my clientele comprises Indigenous-controlled organisations or individuals who entrust me with their projects. Additionally, I often venture into documentary production for television, collaborating with individuals with a unique message and a visionary outlook. Furthermore, I devote my time to volunteering in the prison and hospice space, aiding individuals to find their own story, especially those nearing the end of their life.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, please be aware this website and its social media platforms contains images of deceased persons.
I acknowledges all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across the nation.
I recognise the original Custodians of Country, their ongoing connection to the land, sky, seas, cultures and communities – paying my respects to Elders, past and present.
