Our Purpose
At Profile Media we believe in the value of good news – for people, for the planet, and most importantly, for business success.
Good News for Business Success
We’re a part of the growing movement of the purpose economy – business as a force for good, brands driving profit through purpose.
As this movement grows, so does the need for businesses to share their good news stories – authentically, strategically and coherently; in a way that not only draws people in and inspires action but drives commercial growth.
This need shapes our mission, to elevate stories that inspire, engage, and create a positive impact.
We serve this mission with passion and conviction, grounded in deep experience that you can depend on from a team of expert journalists and digital marketers.
Progressive & Impactful
OUR WORK CULTURE
Profile Media is a leader in providing a progressive workplace which values people – their morale and life balance. The team works a 9 day fortnight and is remotely based yet enjoys a workplace culture of high productivity, good communication, cooperation and collaboration.
Why We Care
SUE PAPADOULIS
A number of years ago as a journalist, I did a story that changed the course of my entire career.
The truth is, after many years of working as a radio and TV journalist, I became disillusioned with the negativity of the news. One story in particular changed everything. I covered the tragic fatal road accident that claimed the life of a young girl. After delivering my radio news bulletin, I received a devastating call from the mother of the child. I’ll never forget that moment and the pain I unknowingly inflicted upon this poor woman and her family.
So I left.
When I moved into PR, I felt I didn’t belong there either. The froth and bubbles world of as PR agency just didn’t sit well with me. I wanted more from life. I wanted to inspire others to step up and play a bigger game. And so I began my own business, employing journalists who are results-driven and have a can-do attitude. We are emotionally invested and love the ‘thrill of the chase’, just as we did when were journalists looking for the next big story.
