Does this sound familiar?
You’re super busy
You know marketing is important but you never seem to get around to it. It forever sits on your to-do list.
Marketing is confusing
You’re great at what you do but marketing is not your area of expertise. It also feels overwhelming. You’re probably thinking, where do I start first?
You want to be consistent
You use a scattergun approach to marketing – you try to do little bits here and there but there’s no clear plan or process.
You need an extra hand
You have a large project to tackle, an upcoming marketing campaign or new product launch and need assistance.
You feel awkward publicing yourself
Who doesn’t!? We take away those awkward feelings and stand in as your publicist. Get your story heard by the right people.
“Melanie is a proven performer in large-scale media and PR campaigns. She nailed two major projects for the NFP I led, surpassing KPIs. She’s organised, engaging and dependable, and a pleasure to work with”. Greg Clarke – Former CEO of Bible Society

Hi, I’m Mel
I’m the director of Dandelion Communications. I launched my Blue Mountains marketing and public relations agency in early 2019. I started with one client and it quickly grew from there.
I’m passionate about supporting purpose-led businesses to increase their connection, grow their reach and further impact their world.
I always had a passion to make a difference through my work. After completing a Bachelor of Communications in 2007, I began my career as a journalist and soon discovered my love for storytelling. I later moved into copywriting and public relations, gaining both in-house and agency experience working with NGOs, local governments, community groups, educational groups, business start-ups and purpose-led local businesses.
Our Team
Our team includes local and experienced freelance copywriters and graphic designers who are employed on a casual or subcontracting basis. We also work directly with other local agencies who provide videography and web design services. I manage the brief and the client relationship so you can focus on your business.
