OUR CHALLENGE

Progressive PR & Communications (PPR&C) were briefed to deliver a PR campaign around Australia to raise awareness of the Consumer Policy Research Centre (CPRC)’s new research initiative Consumers and COVID-19: from crisis to recovery which uncovers the challenges that consumers are facing and presents the building blocks for those attempting to support consumers over the coming 12 months and beyond.  

OUR RESPONSE

The campaigns focused on the report results which are broken down into regional and metropolitan, young people and people living with a disability subsets, amongst others.  Media were targeted with the relevant data set for their location and audience to generate coverage accordingly.

OUR OUTCOMES

COVID-19 stories dominate media coverage everyday and the results of this important report has cut through the noise and generated extensive coverage across Australia on four separate occasions.
