Bio
Kirsty Wilson
Brooke is a first class PR operator who I have worked with both as a colleague at Network Ten and also now in her capacity as Director of Savannah PR. Brilliantly organised and efficient, she understands what is required to deliver a well rounded PR campaign that encompasses all mediums, and which fits with the overall brand of a business. Brooke has strong talent management skills, and an enviable contacts book While at TEN, she successfully launched many prime-time programs, including the first season of MasterChef Australia and several seasons of Australian Idol. Managing huge shows like this requires experience and an unflabble approach, both of which Brooke has in spades. Calm in a crisis situation, she has the confidence and skill to manage key messages with media and stakeholders alike. Brooke is upfront, honest and direct in her approach, and delivers what she promises.
