Hi, I'm Kirsty Nancarrow. I've been in the media industry for almost 30 years,
mostly as a broadcaster and video journalist with the Australian Broadcasting
Corporation (ABC).

 

I have also delivered high-level communications for a breadth of organisations
in Australia and the UK. I am passionate about regional communities and the rich
stories they hold.

 

As a certified trainer and highly experienced media professional, I am here to
help you speak to journalists with confidence, and identify and share your
stories.

THE WORD IS OUT! READ OUR TESTIMONIALS



Kirsty, I felt the need to feedback to you how absolutely invaluable the work we
did together has been over the past week! ACHC has just received a Commonwealth
grant which made the requests for media a positive opportunity alongside more
general reports regarding social housing.

I have had TV interviews with ABC & WIN, radio with ABC & Star radio, as well as
the Cairns Post and Tropic Now. Whilst still nerve wracking I felt much more in
control and positive about the engagement and outcomes. Thank you so much!


LIZ BROWN
CEO
ACCESS COMMUNITY HOUSING



I highly recommend Kirsty's media training services for any organisation looking
to build media skills in their teams. Kirsty delivered a one day workshop for
Terrain NRM to help our farming extension officers understand the media and
learn how to utilise it to tell their stories to a broader audience. The
feedback we received was extremely positive. All the participants loved the
opportunity to learn from such an experienced journalist and talented trainer
and came away with some very practical and useful tips.

COMMUNICATIONS LEAD


TERRAIN NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT



Kirsty and Leon took on our documentary project with tight timelines and after
just a few short meetings with us, developed a script that perfectly matched our
brief. Being new to documentary production ourselves, Kirsty and Leon stepped us
through the process and were able to work with raw footage that had already been
collected to produce a documentary in a timely and professional manner. Kirsty
and Leon were a pleasure to work with and delivered a finished product that we
can all be proud of.

WESTERN CAPE TURTLE THREAT ABATEMENT ALLIANCE



Kirsty has presented many informative and valuable small group workshops for the
Young Entrepreneurs Project. She shared her knowledge and experience as a
journalist and educated the attendees on what journalists actually want, how to
engage with them and how to write a solid media release. Kirsty presented with
professionalism but was fun to listen to also. With great feedback from the
workshop, Y(E)P is looking forward to having Kirsty present further media
workshops.

Y(E)P AND LAUNCH FNQ



Kirsty immediately came to mind for the role of MC at our International Women's
Day Dinner in 2016. Kirsty did an amazing job before, during and after the
event. Kirsty was involved with the planning and directed much of how the
successful night would proceed. It was under Kirsty’s guidance and direction
that the event was a huge success! The event was held again in 2017 with Kirsty
as our brilliant MC and we invited her back for a third year in 2018, raising
more than $20,000 on the night.



Kirsty is organised, reliable, professional and competent. I have seen Kirsty in
various roles, and am always inspired and impressed by the dedication, passion
and enthusiasm that is shown in all that she does.


SUSAN DEVITT
SECRETARY


FRIENDS OF HIMALAYAN CHILDREN



As a regional Queensland fashion company with customers across Australia and
around the world, we have to be able to successfully compete with major
metropolitan rivals. When it comes to our sales and marketing materials, we must
achieve a standard that makes us stand out from the rest. We recently engaged
Kirsty Nancarrow to produce a sales training video for our wholesale and
corporate B2B customers. Although we were on a tight budget, we are so glad that
went with the affordable option of having Kirsty do the voiceover, rather than
doing it ourselves. This took our video to the next level. Kirsty’s voiceover is
polished, modulated and very professional. It is exactly what we need to impress
our customers.

Kirsty delivered the first ever journalism class in Batase School, Nepal. It was
not only awesome but also inspiring for the grade 10 students. Before she
introduced the journalism class, our students had only a limited understanding
but they got a golden opportunity to know what journalism is. Along with
teaching journalism, Kirsty has dedicated her precious time managing the
sponsorship program that is really bringing positive changes to the students and
addressing the dropout problems at the school.
