Why education organisations come to us

An educational institution’s reputation is its most powerful asset. It’s what attracts the brightest minds, inspires community pride, and secures the funding and partnerships needed to deliver world-class learning and research. But building and protecting that reputation requires more than academic excellence alone; it requires a compelling story. We are the strategic partners that education leaders trust to navigate their most significant moments – from launching a new strategic plan or a city-shaping campus, to managing sensitive issues with care and discretion.

How we support

We provide strategic advice and hands-on support to institutions across the entire education lifecycle. Our work includes developing communications strategies for universities and schools, creating campaigns to support student recruitment, managing stakeholder engagement with parents, alumni, and industry partners, providing senior counsel for crisis and issues management, and navigating education policy through targeted government relations.

What makes Purple different

  • Experience across the entire education lifecycle, from K-12 schools to TAFEs, universities, and world-class research foundations.
  • Unrivalled experience in the WA university sector, having worked with every public and private university in the state.
  • Senior counsel for high-stakes issues, including experience advising schools and institutions through Royal Commissions and other sensitive cases.
  • A proven track record in supporting major institutional announcements, from new strategic plans to landmark campus developments.
