public relations agency

Hugo Halliday is a public relations agency based in Sydney with over 50 years’ combined experience in getting media coverage for clients and employers.


We have built relationships with journalists across the industry and nation. We are able to build effective media kits and press releases because we understand how the media works, what they want and how to pitch.

Our Managing Director, Bill Pickering, also specialises in Crisis and Issues Management if you find yourself facing a media crisis, and we offer five media training courses to get your spokespeople and/or organisation ready to confidently and strategically face the media.

For one of our recent clients, the Housing Supply Association, we obtained prime time news coverage for their launch event, as well as in eight other known publications.

For The Showground, we obtained two prime time news spots and five newspaper articles for their launch event.

In 2007-8 we ran a media campaign for the NSW Motor Traders Association (MTA) against the NRMA and saturated the market so much with MTA’s messaging that hundreds of millions were wiped off NRMA’s shares. We were later contracted by the NRMA for public relations services.
