Our Story

Chris O’Keefe founded Emerald House after a career at the highest levels of Australian journalism and political reporting. He has spent years inside the press gallery, in TV studios and on the ground with decision makers. That experience, paired with an extensive network across State and Federal Parliaments, gives our clients a rare advantage.

We work side by side with leaders, boards and executives to shape the right message, find the right audience and deliver it with maximum impact. Whether the challenge is a high-stakes crisis, a major reform, or a reputational opportunity, we bring strategy, clarity and cut-through.
