Mendleson Communication

Mendleson Communication was founded in Melbourne, Australia, with a clear purpose: to provide strategic communications support that is both practical and effective. Based at 15-19 Amsterdam St in the Victorian capital, the agency has spent over fourteen years building a reputation for delivering results across government, corporate, and not-for-profit sectors. The founding team saw a gap for a small, agile agency that could combine deep strategic thinking with hands-on execution—offering clients a level of personal attention often lost in larger firms.

Current Focus and Philosophy

Today, Mendleson Communication operates as a small but proficient communications agency that specialises in public relations, media relations, and strategic communications. The agency’s philosophy is straightforward: look at the challenge and use the best mix of strategic marketing, public relations, and communications strategies to meet it. This pragmatic approach is reflected in their work, which is distinguished by a high level of personal service, excellent results, and value for money. The agency prides itself on being strategic, accountable, proactive, and creative—qualities that have earned them multiple awards over the years. Mendleson Communication makes things happen by developing unusual solutions, working to tight budgets, thinking up creative angles, and persisting until the desired outcomes are achieved.
