Reflecting on 12 years of Pitch

From our humble beginnings in 2011, armed with one great client and a whole lot of ambition, our Director, Stephen Sealey, started Pitch Public Relations. A Brisbane-based PR agency, Stephen was passionate about ensuring every business, no matter how small, had the opportunity to tell their stories.

A former News Ltd journalist for two decades, Stephen wanted Pitch to represent an innovative approach to PR. One that focused on storytelling through a variety of content forms, which ultimately led him to enter the digital world of social media.

We asked the boss man (Stephen) about his story of starting Pitch.

“I’d been working in PR for a few years before I started Pitch. I wanted to bring my own style to an agency, use my storytelling skills and the experience I had built up in daily newspapers, to the PR arena. That is, to offer clients top-quality content and the news judgement that comes with many years in journalism,” he said.

“We now tell stories across so many different channels, whether it’s a media release, a website story, an eDM or a video, our fundamental skill is identifying and telling great stories that get a reaction from the right audience.”

When it comes to storytelling, we’re not shy to say that Pitch is proudly leading the charge. As a strategic public relations agency, our skillset extends far beyond achieving media coverage.
