David Bateson, Director
Originally with a sales and marketing background in large corporates, David's experience covers a wide range of industries, including publishing, automotive, legal, accounting, HR and pharmacy. He realised the power of PR-focused marketing while working as a sales contractor for a retail franchise group in 2004, when two group outlets opened thanks to industry media coverage resulting from his PR efforts, netting the client ~$450,000 in revenue.
Despite his large corporate background, his enthusiasm is with the SME (small-medium enterprise) sector - particularly fast-growth entrepreneurial businesses, and he has worked with several startup software and dot com businesses.
He has developed the concept of 'PR Marketing' over the past five years and is regularly invited to speak to business groups and associations on the subject.
Originally from the UK, David moved to Sydney just in time for the 2000 Olympics, before seeing the light and moving up to Brisbane.
