Focused expertise across five disciplines.
Quaymark advises companies, boards, and leaders through the moments where communications shape outcomes. Each discipline is led by senior counsel.
Transactions.
From initial diligence to deal close, communications shape how a transaction is read by the people whose verdict matters most: investors, regulators, employees, customers, and the market. Quaymark builds the narrative architecture that supports each of those audiences without contradicting itself.
Work spans M&A on both sides of the table, IPOs and listing communications, capital raisings, demergers, and complex corporate restructures. Engagements typically begin well before the announcement window and continue through integration or post-listing positioning.
The objective is not noise. It is clarity. A transaction that is well-explained is a transaction that holds its value when the news cycle turns.
What's included- Investor narrative and equity story development
- Announcement strategy, drafting, and disclosure support
- Media engagement and journalist briefings
- Spokesperson preparation and Q&A development
- Internal and stakeholder communications cascade
- Post-deal positioning and integration messaging
Crisis and Issues Management.
Reputational damage rarely arrives unannounced. It builds, surfaces, and escalates on a timeline that punishes hesitation. Quaymark provides counsel through the full arc, from issue identification and scenario planning through to live response and post-event recovery.
Engagements range from regulatory inquiries and class actions to operational incidents, leadership transitions, governance disputes, and media exposures. The work is grounded in plain truth: protect the people, protect the franchise, and tell the story straight.
Preparation matters more than performance. The firms that handle a crisis well almost always rehearsed it first.
What's included- Live crisis counsel and 24-hour availability during incidents
- Issues identification, monitoring, and scenario planning
- Statement and holding response drafting
- Stakeholder mapping and engagement strategy
- Board and executive briefing support
- Post-event review and reputation rebuild planning
Profile Raising and Brand Launches.
Considered visibility is a strategic asset. For founders raising capital, executives entering a new market, or firms launching to a sceptical audience, the right profile compounds for years. The wrong profile costs trust the moment it is needed.
Quaymark builds long-arc programs designed for serious audiences. Owned thought leadership, earned media positioning, conference and speaking strategy, and brand launches that arrive credible from day one. The work is patient by design and ruthless about quality of voice.
Profile is the by-product of substance well-presented. Not the other way around.
What's included- Personal and corporate positioning strategy
- Thought leadership program and editorial planning
- Earned media strategy and journalist relationships
- Brand and firm launch campaigns
- Speaking and industry-platform strategy
- Owned channel architecture (LinkedIn, web, newsletter)
Media Coaching and Crisis Simulation Training.
Media performance is a learned skill, and so is crisis composure. Quaymark runs intensive sessions for executives, boards, and incoming spokespeople, built around the formats and pressures they will actually face.
Coaching is one-on-one or small-group, with realistic interview scenarios, on-camera feedback, and message discipline drills. Crisis simulations are tabletop exercises tailored to the organisation's risk profile, with live-press, regulator, and stakeholder injects that test plans against the real timeline.
The aim is not polish. It is competence under pressure, and the muscle memory to think clearly when it counts.
What's included- One-on-one media coaching for executives and spokespeople
- On-camera and broadcast interview training
- Print and podcast interview preparation
- Message discipline and bridging technique drills
- Tabletop crisis simulations with live injects
- Board-level reputational risk briefings
Public Affairs.
Some commercial outcomes can only be secured through government. A court decision that needs to be reversed by legislation. A regulatory framework that needs to be amended. A planning consent that needs ministerial intervention. The communications work that surrounds these moments is rarely the work of a single press release. It is a coordinated campaign of media, stakeholder engagement, and direct government communication, sustained until the decision is made.
Quaymark advises clients on the public-affairs work that moves government to act. It begins with a clear case — what the client needs, why the public interest supports it, and which audiences need to hear that case in what order. The communications then run on two tracks at once: a public-facing program designed to build visible support, and a direct-engagement program designed to reach the decision-makers who matter.
What's included- Public-affairs campaigns to secure legislative or regulatory change
- Response to adverse court, tribunal, or regulatory decisions
- Coalition-building and stakeholder mobilisation
- Media strategy in support of policy outcomes
- Government, ministerial, and crossbench engagement programs
- Submission and inquiry communications
