Taking steps to educate not retaliate
In 2006 Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) engaged Currie to develop a proactive communications and engagement strategy to maintain the integrity and reputation of the Australian cattle industry in the minds of urban Australia.
MLA was keen to address pockets of public concern in city households about industry practices and the impact of livestock production on the environment.
Currie has developed and continues to implement a campaign that uses an extensive range of tactics to preserve, nurture and maintain confidence, trust, and credibility in Australia’s livestock producers and their practices.
Farm Day, a day where city families are invited to spend a day with a farming family is the cornerstone of the campaign. On-farm media tours, media briefings and media relations around the agricultural shows are also used to demonstrate the professional and progressive image of farming.
Currie’s work has assisted in maintaining the level of trust in the red meat and livestock industry.
