Dentsu Mitchell holds government education session on Communicating with Diverse Audiences

Dentsu Mitchell is hosting an education seminar for the Victorian Government on Communicating with Diverse Audiences.

The all-day seminar, in line with the Victorian Government Multicultural Policy Statement, is aimed at providing insights and advice to Victorian Government Communications Practitioners tasked with communicating to niche or diverse audiences. These include culturally and linguistically diverse communities, Indigenous Australians, LGBTQI and older audiences.

Communicating with Diverse Audiences is the next in a series of educational sessions delivered by Dentsu Mitchell to the Victorian Government on aspects of media and communication, with previous topics including regional media, and mobile marketing.

Dentsu Mitchell has assembled a range of industry expert speakers from the communications, media and advertising industries and the public sector to present on the topic, including Dentsu Mitchell’s own Multicultural Director Masheilla Pillay, and Communications Design Government Lead Eaon Pritchard.

More than 200 members of the Victorian Government are expected to attend.
