Founder and Former Journalist
Sue Papadoulis
A number of years ago as a journalist, I did a story that changed the course of my entire career.
Profile Media was founded by me, Sue Papadoulis after many years of working as a radio and TV journalist, then in corporate communications for government and as a PR executive in the private sector.
My experience as a journalist and News Editor for 10 years in busy newsrooms in Australia and London has given me insider knowledge about how the media works and what a journalist wants.
Why did I leave the profession? The truth is 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.
And we are doing good for the world. Our clients have good news stories to tell and we love to share them in our dedicated channel, The Good News Movement.

Our Lovely Clients
I’m now the regular in-house optometrist on a monthly basis on 6PR. I love that! It’s the most fun you can have sitting down.
The fact that we’ve been on radio stations repeatedly as market leaders, it’s actually given our clients a lot more respect of our position and from that our clients have really stuck with us and trust that we’re doing the best for them.
We see Profile Media as an extension of Epichem in terms of the role they play in helping us tell our story and promote our goods and services.
Thank you Profile Media, because I’m sure you’ve helped my business grow and especially in these difficult times with the pandemic and everything, our business is still just growing and growing and growing, and Profile Media has been an integral part of that. Thank you Sue and thank you to all the team.
Working with Profile Media, the presence that I’ve been able to gain has put me in a situation where major publications are now reaching out for me to comment on stories of interest for them.
