According to a statement, the agencies will be responsible for all PR, event management, sponsorship negotiation and ambassador engagement, as well as handling the National Talent Competition which launches in February ahead of the main event.

The event is designed to recognise the contribution of young Australians to society and invite them to raise pertinent issues. It will run in the middle of April.

Separately, Weber Shandwick has picked up a contract from Bristow Helicopters alongside Perth-based consultancy Mills Wilson.

The pair will provide PR and emergency communications expertise to Bristow, which is among the world’s largest helicopter service providers. The firm is looking to raise its profile in Australia and educate its domestic and international stakeholders on its safety policies.

Weber Shandwick also works alongside Bristow in the UK.
