Delivering strategic communication, PR, marketing, and stakeholder engagement services for organisations, councils and communities in regional Western Australia.
About Us.
In WA, the "farm gate" is more than just an entrance—it's the point where hard work meets the world, where value is created, opportunities emerge, and where much of our State's economic story begins.
Farmgate Strategic Media was founded on the belief that regional WA deserves communication services that are professional and effective, and genuinely reflective of country communities. We bring over 20 years’ experience working across the State specialising in strategic comms, public relations, marketing and stakeholder engagement for country councils and organisations.
We understand the deep importance of identity in the bush, with each community — agricultural, coastal, mining, or remote — having its own character, priorities and challenges. We combine strategic clarity with an understanding of the differing local identities and dynamics, helping leaders communicate with confidence and building trust where it matters most.
Our work is also driven by a commitment to bringing out the best of regional WA, to support the industries and communities that make it an outstanding place to live, work and visit.

The Farmgate Difference.
Our work is shaped by real regional experience, so we can speak the language of the Shire President, the Operations Manager and the Multi‑Generational Farmer. This insight ensures our advice and content genuinely fit local context.
We provide metropolitan‑standard communication expertise, adapted to the practical realities of WA's regions, to help you achieve your business goals.
Don’t have the budget for a dedicated comms officer but have staff with aptitude and capacity? We can provide workshop training in effective, professional communication - onsite, practical and shaped to suit your organisation’s needs.
Whether you need strategic advice, hands‑on delivery or capability‑building, we tailor our support to your capacity, budget and internal skills.
