Strategic Communications for Australia’s Mining & Resources Sector

FrontRunner Communications specialises in marketing, business development, PR and communications for engineering, construction, environmental consultants and professional services firms working across the mining and resources sector. We understand the highly technical, safety-critical and regulated environments in which your clients operate, and the commercial and operational pressures that shape project delivery.

Our role is to help you clearly articulate your technical capability, project experience and value proposition in a way that resonates with mining operators, project owners, government, joint venture partners and procurement teams. From brand positioning through to bid support and project communications, we translate complex technical expertise into confident, credible communication that supports winning work and building long-term client relationships and project delivery.

Why FrontRunner?

FrontRunner Communications is led by founder Stephanie De Leon, who brings seven years of combined marketing management and bid leadership experience from her role as Marketing Manager for a leading industrial services business delivering work almost exclusively to mining, oil & gas and energy clients.

This hands-on, sector-specific experience means FrontRunner understands the realities of operating in highly regulated, safety-critical and procurement driven environments. From major tenders and panel submissions to brand positioning and project communications, we know what mining and energy clients look for and how to position engineering, construction and professional services firms to win work and build long term credibility.
