• Transport Infrastructure

Specialist Communications & Creative Services for Australia’s Transport Sector

FrontRunner Communications specialises in marketing, business development, PR and strategic communications for transport planners, engineering consultants, civil infrastructure contractors, project management firms and technical advisory businesses delivering transport infrastructure across Australia.

We understand the complex and stakeholder-driven environments that shape transport projects. From major road and rail infrastructure to ports, aviation, active transport and integrated transport networks, success depends on clearly communicating technical capability while navigating procurement processes, government priorities and diverse stakeholder expectations.

Our experience spans the full transport infrastructure lifecycle, including transport planning, business case development, strategic advisory, planning and approvals, environmental assessment, detailed design, utilities coordination, stakeholder engagement and construction delivery. This gives us a practical understanding of the commercial, technical and delivery environments in which our clients operate.

We also understand the broader transport ecosystem and the organisations that influence project success. Our experience includes supporting pursuits and communications for projects involving Transport for NSW, Sydney Metro, Sydney Trains, state transport authorities, local government, major infrastructure owners, Tier 1 contractors, engineering consultants and private sector clients.

From brand positioning and capability statements to bid management, proposal development, project communications and stakeholder engagement, we help transport organisations communicate technical expertise with clarity, build trusted client relationships and position themselves to win work across Australia’s transport and infrastructure sector.

Why FrontRunner?

FrontRunner Communications is led by founder Stephanie De Leon, who brings more than 15 years of combined marketing management and bid leadership experience across the engineering, infrastructure and environmental sectors.

Stephanie has extensive experience leading and supporting major transport infrastructure pursuits across road, rail, light rail, ports and aviation projects. Working under Aurecon’s Transport Infrastructure Portfolio Lead, she prepared complex proposals spanning the entire project lifecycle, from strategic planning, feasibility studies and business cases through to environmental approvals, detailed design, construction and asset delivery.

Having worked across multidisciplinary pursuits for government agencies, major infrastructure owners and Tier 1 contractors, Stephanie understands the procurement processes, evaluation criteria and commercial drivers that shape transport infrastructure investment. She knows how to position technical capability, communicate complex project experience and develop compelling submissions that resonate with infrastructure clients and procurement teams.

This combination of transport sector knowledge and strategic communications expertise enables FrontRunner to deliver communications that build credibility, strengthen market positioning and help transport and infrastructure organisations win more work in an increasingly competitive market.
