Digital media agency 3 Phase Marketing has established its own public relations department.
B and T reported that current content producer Marnie Vinall is now reassigned as the resident publicist. She has done marketing-related content duties for the Crowd Media Group and handled social media channels for 40K Products.
Agency founder/managing director Sonia Majkic said opening a new PR section followed initial success with PR work in some campaigns earlier this year.
“The world of public relations offers endless opportunities for our clients and I can’t wait to get my hands working to weave that magic for them,” added Vinall.
“PR has proved to be incredibly advantageous for our agency, so why wouldn’t we want that for our clients too?”

IVY PR open for business
By Jonas Lopez in Marcoms News on Friday, 17th September 2021 at 11:59am
Former The Red Republic executives Mia Hamilton and Emma Bedsor have joined forces to build a new agency called IVY PR, reported Mumbrella.
Under the aegis of the BCM Group, IVY will handle PR, social media, influencer management, events, and brand activations, which will augment BCM’s creative and media services.
Hamilton and Bedsor will be co-managing directors of the agency, which will have offices in Sydney and Brisbane. BCM has also granted the tandem full authority to develop the agency.
“Emma and I have wanted to shape an agency like IVY for some time and the independence, freedom and autonomy inherent to BCM Group, has provided the perfect environment for us to do so. The irony is that PR has an image problem and we want to be a brand that helps counter that. Earned media doesn’t just come from a press release, it can begin with a TVC, a social media post, or a clever search campaign,” said Hamilton.
“Being able to create ideas that use both earned and paid me
