Popping in to say, Hi!
Georgie Quigley Public Relations is headed up by Georgie Quigley – that’s me. I’ll stop speaking about myself in the third now, because I’m guessing you’re here because you want to know a little more about who I am and what I do. Usually I’d do this over a piccolo, but since AI has yet to whip that up, we’ll do it the old-fashioned way: the written word.
So, here are some things you might want to know about me: I can’t drink water to save myself; maxi dresses are my uniform, and I love a list (pen and paper, always) almost as much as I like a desk that’s spick and span.
And here’s a little about my background: I’m a country girl (from Warren, NSW) which means I bring a roll-up-your-sleeves attitude (and the odd country-ism,) into everything I do. Like (thousands? Millions?) of others I did a fail-safe Bachelor of Arts at Sydney Uni, where I majored in socialising. Seriously, I was legitimately awarded colours for my social contributions to college, so I guess you could say I was made for PR, and those skills come in very handy in this gig. It’s probably no surprise that I’ve always worked in this field and that I was also a member of the NSW PRIA (Public Relations Institute of Australia) Young Guns Committee for four years — PR has never felt like “work” to me.
After working in agencies for half a decade across major brands such as Avène, Klorane, Outland Denim, GO Healthy, Koala Eco, Yoobi, The Everest, Vittoria Coffee, Pukka Tea, I launched GQPR in 2020. Owning my own business was not part of the plan but being able to work with so many brands I personally align with has been like a coffee shot to the soul for the last (almost) ten years.
I’m currently a one-woman show, but that is also one of my greatest strengths as a business. When you come on board with GQPR, you get me, not some junior burger, which is (hopefully) what you signed up for. As a small business myself, I especially love working with small established Australian businesses and helping them get their share of the media spotlight, but I can also handle the big guys — my door (and inbox) are open!
A perfectly-crafted media pitch is my idea of a good time, and I count my professional relationships as some of my greatest achievements (you can read their words on our testimonials page *blushing*). For me, a win is when I can tick creativity, coverage, and media relationships off my list in one campaign.
If this all sounds like your cup of tea (or piccolo), let’s chat.
