His insights and research will be invaluable to both CultureVerse and the wider Think HQ teams and clients looking to communicate and engage with diverse audiences and CALD communities.

The agency’s deep understanding, expertise and commitment to inclusive communications and engagement across multiple sectors makes it the perfect place to put my research and expertise into practice.

“I look forward to working with the broader Think HQ team to develop even more ethnically diverse and culturally inclusive communication practices that meet the needs of CALD clients and communities.”
