Today we are hosting an awesome Masterclass with one of Australia’s leading public relations experts, and a hugely successful female founder herself, Bec Brown!

Bec is the founder and managing director of The Comms Department - a PR, social media, corporate comms, and crisis management agency.

They specialise in entertainment, media, travel, and lifestyle brands and are located in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, but work globally.

Bec launched The Comms Department in 2012, as she saw a need for an authentic and positive approach to PR and media relations in Australia. But what’s more, Bec set up her business nearly 9 years ago as a remote business that has never had a ‘traditional’ office. She wanted to give everyone on her team the flexibility to work from home (pre-COVID). Over the years they’ve fine-tuned their structures and procedures for maximum output and enjoyment. And their clients also love it because they pay for their expertise, not their central office overhead.

They have a star-studded list of long-term and repeat clients that include the Australian Radio Network, brands such as iHeartRadio and the iHeartPodcast Network, Bras N Things, Cover-More Travel Insurance, NBCUniversal’s hayu, Red Nose Day, Universal & Sony Music, The Wiggles, and many many more. Bec has been propped as the best in the business as she is dedicated to helping her clients manage their reputations and grow their revenue at their most crucial times.

Before starting The Comms Department, Bec spent half a decade as Senior Publicity & Promotions Manager for the world’s largest record company, Universal Music.

But Bec’s career started off a little differently. Bec’s passion for music led her to study a Bachelor of Music at the University of Adelaide. This gave her the foundation to work professionally for 6 years as a vocalist on stage and recording in Australia, Asia, and Europe. She had the pleasure of performing alongside some of the world’s best singers and musicians.

Not only is Bec a PR powerhouse, but she’s also a talented writer that just launched her book with publisher Penguin Books - called You Got This. Since the launch of her book in September, Bec has been featured on Mumbrella, Channel 7’s The Morning Show, The Briefing from the PodcastOne Network, and many more publications.

We absolutely loved learning from this amazing lady. So if you’re looking to raise your profile for your business or career to set yourself apart in your industry - then this masterclass is a must-listen!!
