“We have had the pleasure of working with Kate Hill and Rhetorica for the last 18-months and the impact she has made on our organisation has been nothing short of exceptional. Kate’s training and skills development sessions for our marketing team have equipped us with the tools and knowledge needed to manage our campaigns more effectively and confidently, while her strategic marketing guidance has been instrumental in increasing our visibility and reach.”

“Kate worked with Stand Like Stone on the '20 Years of Giving Back' project and she is an exceptional storyteller. Kate approaches every story with empathy and care, always making sure to truly understand the people involved. Her ability to find the small nuances that set a story apart, bring it to life and display its depth and character is truly unique. The project was a powerful way to communicate the foundation’s impact and celebrate our 20th anniversary.”

“Kate’s expertise and experience when it comes to media, government and stakeholder relations has been crucial to our success in creating awareness of our activities and cause as a not-for-profit organisation. As SMLC are reliant on government funding, our public image is crucial and by strategic planning and continued communications, Kate ensures SMLC’s name is front and centre in the complex AOD space, through our own channels and local and state media.”

- SMLC Project Manager Sophie Bourchier

"Kate’s outstanding expertise in communication and marketing has been instrumental in the development of our Community Connect project. Her professionalism, strategic insight, and genuine passion for her work have been invaluable in helping us shape and articulate our vision for a much-needed local support service within the Limestone Coast. We would not hesitate to recommend Kate to other organisations looking for thoughtful, strategic support in bringing their ideas to life.”

“Kate was instrumental in developing the campaign “Future Mount Gambier'“, which resulted in significant financial investment of $130million in the Mount Gambier electorate over the next four years. The extensive research that Kate undertook, and her close working relationship with industry experts was a significant factor in this campaign being such a success.”

“A strategic media adviser and consultant of the highest caliber. Kate creates enormous value for our business through her impactful and authentic work, advice, collaboration, and feedback.”  

- Founder of Naracoorte News, Michael Waite

“Let’s put it simply – Kate’s campaign work got me elected.

As someone used to getting things done quietly and avoiding the spotlight, Kate’s advice helped me develop a public persona which felt real and authentic. From the crafting of social posts to the timing of local media stories, there was purpose and strategy built in behind every word. Kate’s advice, strategy and experience is top level.”
