About Mike O'Reilly

With broad experiences in all forms of News Media, plus working in Ministerial Offices in SA & NT, I have the knowledge to fix complex issues – by straight talk, rapid tactics and real life experience - something that is hard to match. Media Relations, or Community Relations and Government Relations. We help you to interact effectively with community.If you have a community stressing about some 'fear-based' media driven issue (environment or safety) you need to communicate quickly with the 99% in the real world. We will walk down local streets meeting residents to identify attitudes before you ever send a Media Release. Then you can tell your story with confidence, including supportive comments. This is my experience, available to you.I have proven results for delivering projects in Private, Government & Community. The start point is 'communication'​ - with every group, not as a 'softly, softly' thing, but an up front connection. That may be simple as knocking on doors in local streets to introduce a project scheme. Or immediate direct delivery letters by skilled walker/talkers. We have the confidence to manage the delivery of your external messages.After that face-to-face communication a Media Release can be developed and distributed. And in between comes the connection with our Government contacts - State or Local Council, to calm the waters. It's all about balancing the messages, and comparing the expectations of all parties.WHY ME? My Background reflects mainstream Journalism, then Ministerial Advisory roles in SA & NT; combined with Corporate Business experience; Public & Community Relations and front-line Community Engagement on multiple projects. If you have an urgent problem, I also do a very fast, tactical Media Release. But, I will ask the tough questions first ~ to ensure your issue is credible and defensible.Experience in Government: I've personally appeared before a Parliamentary Select Committee on government procurement. I satisfied MPs of my company's financial & professional credibility. As a result I've advised individuals and companies on how to perform in a special forum where lawyers are not permitted - and a 'no comment'​ can see you held in a downstairs room for contempt.I'm still waiting for the problem I cannot solve with my team of collaborative experts. We can manage any issue. You only pay for our skills - not a grand office frontage.Specialties: Media & Government Issues Management; Community Engagement; Media Skills Training; Preparing & Delivering Community Publications; Infrastructure project information.

  • Sa Brewing Company Ltd

    Sa Brewing Company Ltd Jul 1986 - Oct 1989
    Represented this major diversified beverage, wine and industrial company in the media and the community for corporate responsibility issues, sponsorship of events and community related matters.

  • News Corp Australia
    Deputy Chief Of Staff

Senior reporting across all areas of journalism and taking a new, lead role in ways to leverage our depth of staff skills to creating joint-venture marketing & promotional opportunities with other media outlets in TV and Radio. I negotiated sharing information with Channel 9's 60 Minutes on some massive SA crime stories.
  • Channel 9 Adelaide
    News Reporter
    Channel 9 Adelaide 1980 - 1982
    Covered the biggest stories and helped produce the 6 PM National Nine News bulletin as it went 'live' to air. Taking risks was very much part of this job as a young guy. Shoot-outs, bushfires, tracking down and trapping con-men, playing with helicopters! Learning from cameramen who'd been active in the Vietnam War. "Let the pictures do the talking mate..." was great advice for a print journo moving into TV reporting.

    At 'The Advertiser' Adelaide - from Cadet Reporter, to Regional Areas Journalist as a news gatherer & photographer; and then senior Crime & Police Reporter and Investigative Reporting covering all areas of crime, corruption, emergency & crisis issues.
