Mkt. Communications call themselves commercial storytellers. They're savvy raconteurs, telling insightful strategic stories that reflect the unique characteristics of a brand, based on simple truths and insights. They work collaboratively with local and international brands to deliver outstanding work with tangible results. They’re honest. They have courageous conversations with their clients and they sometimes tell them things they don’t want to hear, with great outcomes. They listen and they encourage their clients to listen as they believe that brands have ears too. Like all storytellers, Mkt. Communications realises it’s in the delivery and without a compelling story, they're out of business. Over the last few years, Mkt. has grown organically, intrinsically passionate about sustainability, we’ve sought out like-minded clients, and they now represent a number of engaging brands who are redefining success in business. Mkt. Communications believes step change will happen when the business community embraces the new economy and finds innovative ways of operating in it. As a team, they have set out to break the work-life balance model with a new way of being.
