What we do

 

We offer a range of services to clients, including:

  • Press Releases: We research and produce professionally written and compelling press releases and send them to targeted media contacts, generating credible editorial publicity for your brand that money can't buy.
  • Copywriting: As professional wordsmiths, we can turn any idea, concept or raw wording into slick, powerful, polished and engaging copy that demands attention and enhances your image. We can assist in writing brochures, website content, speeches, newsletters, submission, profiles and TV/radio/press advertisements.
  • Media Liaison: We know the media and liaise with journalists daily to pitch story ideas that get used. We can also organise media interviews and events to spotlight your message
  • Media Visits: We specialise in organising journalists to visit your destination or product, which can often generate more media exposure than any other form of PR. This is particularly beneficial in the travel and tourism industries.
  • Media Promotions: We can stretch your marketing dollars further, adding editorial value to advertising spends and organising promotions and editorial competitions that leverage consumer attention for your brand.
  • Expert Media Relations Advice: Drawing on years of experience, we can tell you what works and what doesn't, as well as providing you with tips and training to ensure optimum communication with the media.
  • Crisis Media Management Skills: If a crisis arises, we are trained to help you deal with the situation. We also will work with you to ensure strategies are in place to prevent problems occurring.
  • Social Media: We can assist in building social media engagement for your brand.
  • Service Training: Great service can be more important than your product in making your business profitable and often the best PR is the way your staff treat your customers. Warm, friendly and engaging hospitality creates loyal customers and can transform your business. Top service also goes viral, with your customers telling others of the five-star treatment they received at your hands. We help teach you and your staff how to serve from the heart and make every customer feel special with personalised attention. We also help establish structures in your business - particularly restaurants, accommodation providers and customer-facing frontdesks - to increase efficiency and productivity. Our hospitality expert, Moira Mevissen, looks forward to helping your team be the best they can be.

What Media Say

“As the writer of a weekly newspaper travel column, I constantly rely on public relations firms to supply accurate information and images. Peak Media Relations always meets my requests, which ensures their clients are well represented in the media. I know I can rely on Peak for correctly formatted images and speedy (usually same-day) responses, which ensures I make my deadlines. Thanks, team!”

Belinda Jackson, travel writer & journalist, Globalsalsa


“I have worked with Andrew Mevissen and Peak Media Relations since I began doing the travel deals page for Escape in March 2012. They have always provided me with excellent deals which I use regularly in my column and can often go to Peak Media Relations at the last minute when I have a particular space to fill. They always gets back to me with great copy and a great image straight away. As a travel writer, I have also had the pleasure of attending a few familiarisation tours planned by Peak Media Relations. They always go smoothly and are filled with appropriate activities and accommodation. Andrew and Peak Media Relations offer a special brand of PR that journalists need – a service which always provides the perfect product for any article you're working on, and QUICK!”

Mercedes Maguire, Freelance Journalist


“Andrew is a thorough professional. He is a realist who understands the media market, but who also pushes hard to make sure that we understand his clients’ needs and what they do. I’m always happy to take his calls. For me, that is his best asset. He just doesn’t send emails, he calls for a chat.”

Brian Crisp, National Travel Editor, News Ltd


“I have had the good fortune of dealing with Andrew Mevissen many times in my career as a journalist in the area of travel. Andrew has arranged travel for me to various destinations and has also hosted media groups I have been part of. I find Andrew to be one of the best operators in his role in Australia and New Zealand. I know that each trip I take which has been arranged by him will go off without a hitch as Andrew’s preparation and attention to detail is second to none. I also find him extremely personable and quick on his feet – any emergency that’s come up has been dealt with by him often without media even realising there was a problem at all. I always look forward to travelling and working with Andrew as he’s great company and his professionalism always shines through. I only wish every marketing/ PR person I had to deal with in the industry was as professional as Andrew - my life would be much simpler! I could not recommend Andrew highly enough. I know for a fact every other journalist I’ve travelled with who has the good fortune of working with Andrew feels the same.”
