Forth & Co. is built around a senior writer who scopes every brief personally, with a network of senior journalists, editors and communication specialists on hand to match to specific projects and specialist needs as required.
About the principal: Two decades covering federal politics, business, IT, legal affairs, health, education, sport and industrial relations for Australia's largest media houses, a former correspondent, national press gallery member and multi-award-winning writer with extensive speechwriting and ghostwriting credentials among executive positioning experience for business, political and union leaders. A proven ability to deliver for clients, from the world's largest media companies, to ASX-listed companies, major sporting bodies, and major sports, entertainment and political personalities.
Whatever the brief — from polishing a draft to starting from scratch — the aim is the same: catching what will and won't land, consulting on direction to connect your messages to the right audience, and to build a presence and authority that stands out from the pack. Confidential by default.
Our speeches and ghostwriting for a range of platforms, from a key note address or CEO statement to social posts, are crafted to bring out your voice and leadership qualities and company credentials. Positioning and messaging consultation through the process. With dozens of op-eds published in mainstream media under our own names, we are uniquely placed to help write, pitch and place for clients.
Annual report statements and strategic corporate reporting, internal and crisis communications, reputation management, LinkedIn ghostwriting for executives, and broader positioning work. Distil complex, data-heavy information into concise, decision-ready formats.
Script edits, short-form social repackaging and web copy refinement — built for growth, revenue and reputation management. A thought-and-messaging partner for social posts, particularly suited to individual executives, small businesses, non-profits and PR firms without in-house capability.
Manuscripts, business and technical reports, long-form non-fiction, research papers and technical documents. Line edits, structural edits or a full developmental pass. Equally comfortable working solo on a draft or alongside an existing in-house team.
You brief the same high-level, experienced person who will handle the work — not an account manager who will hand it to a junior once the contract is signed.
Content to be acted on, not skimmed — at a time when the market has never been more cluttered. Our approach does not just transmit facts and messaging, but seeks to truly engage audiences by planting value and ideas that resonate and can shift how they think, feel or act.
Every job is different, so pricing is scaled to size and agreed upfront. No add-ons, no hidden fees. Costs can vary for one-off projects, short-term contracts, or long-term retainers.
