Defence

"Now more than ever, strategic communications needs to be recognised as the critical link between government and industry. Government must effectively communicate what it needs from industry to protect the national interest. Industry needs that clear message from government in order to plan, gear up and deliver the best capability which the warfighter can utilise to complete the tasks we ask of them as a nation."

CEO and Founder, contentgroup
