Strategic Communications and Creative Services for Australia’s Environmental & Sustainability Sector

FrontRunner Communications specialises in marketing, business development, PR and strategic communications for environmental consultants, sustainability advisors, remediation specialists, planners, ecologists, environmental engineers and professional services firms.

We understand the technical, highly regulated and stakeholder-driven environments in which you operate. Whether you’re securing planning approvals, delivering remediation projects, advising on net zero, circular economy or sustainability strategies or supporting major infrastructure and renewable energy developments, success depends on communicating complex technical expertise with clarity and credibility.

Our role is to help you articulate your capability, differentiate your expertise and strengthen your market position. From brand strategy and capability statements to bid management, thought leadership, project communications and stakeholder engagement, we translate complex environmental and sustainability services into compelling communications that build trust, win work and support long-term business growth.

Our experience spans the full environmental project lifecycle across planning and approvals, environmental impact assessment, contaminated land remediation, mine and site closure, water infrastructure advisory, stakeholder engagement, sustainability, carbon and net zero advisory, renewable energy and major infrastructure, giving us a practical understanding of the markets, clients and procurement environments in which our clients operate.

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, environmental and infrastructure sectors.

Stephanie has led marketing and business development for environmental consulting and remediation businesses specialising in mine closure and contaminated land, while also supporting major pursuits across renewable energy, sustainability, environmental planning and approvals, carbon and Net Zero advisory, stakeholder engagement and multidisciplinary infrastructure projects.

As a Senior Consultant at Aurecon, Stephanie prepared major proposals and strategic pursuits across the defence, transport, water, energy and resources sectors, working alongside technical specialists to position complex environmental and advisory services for government and private sector clients.

This unique combination of environmental sector knowledge and strategic communications expertise means FrontRunner understands not only how environmental projects are delivered, but how environmental businesses grow. We know how to position specialist capability, communicate complex technical solutions, elevate industry thought leadership and develop compelling bids that build credibility, strengthen client relationships and help environmental organisations win work in an increasingly competitive market.
