Popping in to say, Hi!
Georgie Quigley Public Relations is headed up by Georgie Quigley – that’s me. I’ll stop speaking about myself in the third now, because I’m guessing you’re here because you want to know a little more about who I am and what I do. Usually I’d do this over a piccolo, but since AI has yet to whip that up, we’ll do it the old-fashioned way: the written word.
So, here are some things you might want to know about me: I can’t drink water to save myself; maxi dresses are my uniform, and I love a list (pen and paper, always) almost as much as I like a desk that’s spick and span.
And here’s a little about my background: I’m a country girl (from Warren, NSW) which means I bring a roll-up-your-sleeves attitude (and the odd country-ism,) into everything I do. Like (thousands? Millions?) of others I did a fail-safe Bachelor of Arts at Sydney Uni, where I majored in socialising. Seriously, I was legitimately awarded colours for my social contributions to college, so I guess you could say I was made for PR, and those skills come in very handy in this gig. It’s probably no surprise that I’ve always worked in this field and that I was also a member of the NSW PRIA (Public Relations Institute of Australia) Young Guns Committee for four years — PR has never felt like “work” to me.
After working in agencies for half a decade across major brands such as Avène, Klorane, Outland Denim, GO Healthy, Koala Eco, Yoobi, The Everest, Vittoria Coffee, Pukka Tea, I launched GQPR in 2020. Owning my own business was not part of the plan but being able to work with so many brands I personally align with has been like a coffee shot to the soul for the last (almost) ten years.
I’m currently a one-woman show, but that is also one of my greatest strengths as a business. When you come on board with GQPR, you get me, not some junior burger, which is (hopefully) what you signed up for. As a small business myself, I especially love working with small established Australian businesses and helping them get their share of the media spotlight, but I can also handle the big guys — my door (and inbox) are open!
A perfectly-crafted media pitch is my idea of a good time, and I count my professional relationships as some of my greatest achievements (you can read their words on our testimonials page *blushing*). For me, a win is when I can tick creativity, coverage, and media relationships off my list in one campaign.
If this all sounds like your cup of tea (or piccolo), let’s chat.
An earful (of me!)
Look hear (see what I did there) to listen to a few podcasts I’ve recorded.
