Strategic Communication & Reputation Management Specialist
When you have a message to deliver, a story to tell, something to say that you need your stakeholders to hear loud and clear… Say That can help.
In business,
messaging always matters.
- Do you have a message to share that will build trust with the audiences that drive your revenue?
- Perhaps you need help promoting your people or services, or ensure they are known by a wider audience?
- Is there a narrative to be carefully devised and managed to prevent the erosion of trust amongst your important stakeholders, either internal or external?
- Do you have a situation on your hands, and you feel like you need to go into damage control?
- Has the media come knocking and you’re not sure what to say?
- Do you need a website that is cohesive and sharp?

We will shape your narrative, overcome your communications challenges, and support you to say what needs to be said (and most importantly, be heard!).

Our clients say this …
Jarrod O’Brien
Non-Executive Director, Lion Underwriting
“We engaged Sarah Tempest of Say That to assist with an announcement about leadership changes and growth ambitions.
Crafting the right message for our market was a challenge; strategically we were hoping for some industry media coverage. Sarah did what Sarah said she would and successfully secured this coverage to meet our objectives.
Sarah made the entire process quick and seamless. She took the time to ask insightful questions to truly understand the message we wanted to convey.
The end result was exactly what we needed. Our press release was picked up by the targeted publications, and the response from the market was overwhelmingly positive.
We are extremely impressed with Sarah’s media counsel and highly recommend Say That to anyone in need of professional, impactful media relations services and or/ great copywriting.”

Nik Stanisic
Group Legal Counsel
“In my previous company, I had the pleasure of working with Sarah on a number of matters requiring crisis communications.
Her immediacy, attention to detail, strategic mindset and empathetic approach ensured the release of high quality, polished and regular communications across a variety of mediums.
Sarah’s experience and integrity saw her become a valued, trusted, de-facto member of her client’s exec team, while her diverse skillset ensured we were prepared for all manner of communications-related issues, ranging from official media statements to interview preparation.“
Brett Ablong
Founder, HBA Legal
“Over a number of years, Sarah grew the HBA Legal brand from an unknown small law firm into a business that is today seen as a leading legal solutions provider within the insurance industry.
Her style and tone aligned directly with our values, and she worked seamlessly with our team to gain deep market penetration through elevating our story and expertise in industry media and via clever social media tactics.
Thanks to her help, our firm has been consistently recognised by Best Lawyers, Doyles, Lawyers Weekly and the Australasian Law Awards, as market leaders and an employer of choice.
Sarah’s deep expertise, high quality of work, work ethic and professionalism make her an easy person to work with. I highly recommend Sarah.”
Communications Manager
Regional Queensland Community Service Organisation (anonymous for obvious reasons)
“We worked with Sarah after our organisation suffered a cyber data breach.
In this situation, we had legal obligations to notify impacted individuals that their data had potentially been compromised. Subsequently, the news quickly landed in the hands of the local TV station and newspapers.
Communications is a broad area and dealing with the media around something controversial and potentially reputationally damaging wasn’t something I had any experience in. Sarah stepped in to work seamlessly with us and our lawyers through the situation. She was calm and took the time to explain the different media scenarios that could play out depending on our decisions at any given moment. She lay out all the options about how to respond and advised us on the best path forward.
I learned heaps from Sarah and am so grateful for her help in guiding us through what was a stressful and unprecedented situation for our organisation.”
