For over 16 years Handle Communications has ‘handled’ the publicity of Active Out There, an Australian company specialising in scooters and outdoor ‘wheel’ equipment. Its most known brand is Globber – a French brand that Active Out There imports to Australia. The majority of this work is influencer collaboration outreach and management. We regularly reach over 10 million Australians each year through this work. The company also has some stunt scooter brands including Grit and Crisp. We are able to generate news for these brands when sponsored riders win major competitions. Recently Taj Shambrook won best pro rider in the World Skate Oceania Championships. We were able to secure a segment on Nine News and also a piece in the Herald Sun.
“I have been using Simone from Handle Communications for all our PR continuously since August 2010. She is an integral and important part of our team. She works across all of the Active Out There brands and has been instrumental in generating growth and awareness for us all over Australia. Simone is great to deal with and generates a huge amount of quality publicity for all of our products. She is very good at exposing our brands to potential new markets through her creative approach to PR. Simone has managed our influencer outreach campaign for many years and chooses influencers that align with our brands and ensures they provide quality content for us. She certainly delivers a big bang for our buck. I wouldn’t use anyone else and have recommended her services to many other companies.”
