Join us as we talk all things comms, PR, and social media with Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane Media Manager - Nicole Carrington. Get some top tips on writing content that will be picked up; how to manage comms for your business - and how to protect your brand and elevate your business. You will also learn why you shouldn’t harass the media, annoy your readers - and that journalists don’t want to have coffee with you. And remember, don’t feed the trolls ...

Nicole Carrington is a Queensland Clarion Award-nominated journalist with two decades’ experience in newspapers and magazines. Nicole has “done time” in newsrooms across the country and overseas, in both traditional and new media. With special interests in feminism, sexuality/health and social justice, she recently left her ten-year stint at News Corp to go freelance and move to the dark side - media and corporate communication. After a recent two-year stint at Queensland Health media and communications, Nicole now works in a government comms role, plus juggles her side hustle as Media Manager of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane. A bona fide word nerd, Nicole’s first love (apart from shoes) is feature writing, but she also specialises in editing/proofreading and ghost-writing books.    

The Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival returns to Brisbane in 2019, running from Sunday 25 – Thursday 29 August and hosted at Howard Smith Wharves.
