Strategic communications that deliver impact

At The Comms. People, we’re a powerhouse team of seasoned professionals with extensive experience in communications, PR, and marketing.

Founded by industry experts Heather Mollins and Jennifer Swaine, we focus on building meaningful, results-driven partnerships with brands that align with our values.

We don’t just tick boxes; we craft tailored strategies that cut through the noise and resonate with the right audiences. From corporate communications to crisis management, media relations to stakeholder engagement, we create solutions that are as unique as your business.

Our approach is simple: work smarter, not harder. With a deep understanding of the industries we serve – from agribusiness to professional services, travel, and beyond – we combine strategy, expertise, and efficiency to deliver measurable outcomes.

Industries we specialise in

With a deep understanding of these sectors, we craft tailored communications strategies that address their unique challenges and opportunities.

Our expertise spans a wide range of industries, including:

What makes us different

What makes us different is our focus on great storytelling with a non-negotiable attitude to great content – images, video and words. We do this by working with the media to package newsworthy stories together with editorial images, video news releases and radio grabs. We amplify those stories through social media, direct-to-audience emails and stakeholder engagement to ensure the story is spread far and wide (so you get the best bang for your buck).

Whilst everything we do is grounded in strategy, we don’t believe in over-engineering a brief. You won’t receive pages upon pages of costly strategy and plans but rather strategic and actionable plans that are working documents updated as your landscapes change.

What you see is what you get. We are two senior professionals who do all of the work and despite our experience, we are famously not afraid of rolling up our sleeves. There is no ‘behind the scenes’ staff, we don’t outsource work and we don’t white label into other businesses.
