When doing good requires doing right: Ethical considerations in health communication

In public health, how we communicate is just as important as what we communicate. Government and public health organisations have a critical role to play in delivering clear, evidence-based and trustworthy information – helping to counter health myths and misinformation that can distort public understanding.

Sharing the passion is a winner

At Fenton Communications, we’re proud of our team of thinkers, advisers and creators, dedicated to delivering strategic communications that create positive social impact. We also recognise there are many others across Australia’s communications, advertising, marketing, media and public relations sectors who share our values: integrity, passion, excellence and a commitment to change.

My first year in Public Relations consulting

“So, what do you do for work?” It’s a question we all get asked a lot – especially when meeting new people or networking. Sometimes people find it hard to explain what they do but since starting work in public relations, communication is at the heart of everything. Here’s what I do.

The changing role of media in public health campaigns

Rapid changes in how we engage with different media and interact with content requires new approaches to deliver public health messages effectively.

The power of personal stories

Videos that tell personal stories have well and truly earned their stripes as a staple of effective communication.

Positive change starts with accessibility

We’re proud of our history of creating communication that can be accessed and understood. We believe accessible communication should be more than an aspiration. Not only is it foundational for effective awareness and behaviour change, it’s also a human right.
