Public Relations and Media
Given our storytelling and writing experience, and our understanding of the media landscape we can craft media campaigns to share your most important key messages that will resonate with your audience. SUSCO has a wide media network of top tier media outlets across print, broadcast and online channels. We also have a network of community-based media outlets that we frequently engage with.
Sustainability reporting
With the prioritisation of environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations, it is crucially important for organisations to have measurable, transparent and clear sustainability reporting. Markets and many consumers are basing their decisions on an organisation sustainability performance. SUSCO has design reporting structure and drafted reports for organisations within the agricultural, retail, information technology, and hospitality sectors.
ESG Research and Policy development
Having an ESG policy and model enables your stakeholders to have a holistic view of your responsible business practices. ESG modelling is now the preferred framework for all stakeholders to assess your business, this includes shareholders, media, consumers and future investors. SUSCO take a research approach to developing an ESG model to consider how different areas of the business will be measured under each ESG pillar.
Website design and development
An organisations website is often the first interaction that someone will have with the organisation. This interaction counts. The user experience should be seamless, clear, and informative. SUSCO designs and develops these online experiences using responsive design concepts, with a user-centred design approach and integrated with other online marketing platforms. We work predominantly with WordPress for all types of websites.
Workshops
SUSCO works with teams to develop knowledge and skills in different areas of environmental management, sustainability, business development and communication. Workshops can be offered in a virtual format or in person. Workshop content can be customised according to your organisational needs. Various workshop series will be launched and hosted, please keep an eye on our social media pages where these details will be announced.
Content development
Whether it is written or visual, content has the ability carry an important message and capture attention. We work with various different mediums including graphic and visual design, written copy, video and photography. We will also work with all the different social media platforms to publish content and facilitate page and audience growth.
