Karla Dawes Press Office

Melbourne’s leading Public Relations Agency

In 2016, Karla Dawes decided to strike out on her own. She moved into a tiny shopfront in Crossley Street in Melbourne’s CBD with one staff member, three clients, a neon sign and a bucketload of ideas. Today, KDPO has more clients, a bigger team and a larger, fancier office but we’ve never lost sight of where we began; creating something fresh, original and exciting in a little shop under neon light. KDPO became the little company that could. Clients big and small arrived, attracted by our innovative communications solutions that capture our clients’ essence, and our unfeigned enthusiasm for lifestyle and culture.

“In the beginning, I really struggled 
 with trying to do it all and ran myself into the ground. I wish I had been kinder to myself during that time because I was running on empty.”
