How we work
Icon lives at the intersection of earned media, advertising and digital marketing. Using
multi-channel thinking we connect smart strategy and impactful ideas with user-driven
tactics, technology and platforms.
This contemporary creative agency model allows us to deliver unified communications
services across the entire audience journey – from awareness raising and changing individual
behaviours, to providing digital, web and content services that provide depth and repeated
engagement.
Powering everything is our multi-award-winning PR and reputation team – an integral part of
Icon’s connected creativity. In fact, we’re Australia’s most awarded independent PR
agency, including nine prestigious ‘Agency of the Year’ accolades over 2021 and 2022 (seven

United by purpose, inspired by technology
Our ambition is to be Australia’s independent agency of choice for purpose-led, integrated
communications. We do this by making a positive impact on people’s lives, wherever they’re
at on their journey, and minimising harm to the planet.
Icon’s vision is underpinned by diversified capabilities, data and technology. We specialise in
five key sectors: technology, health, education, digital transformation and government.
Our team spans strategic communications, media relations, digital marketing, CX and UX,
development, creative, branding, advertising and content. It’s a potent mix that allows Icon
to deploy earned-media-centric campaigns that are highly creative, interdisciplinary and
omnichannel.
