**About BBG
Baldwin Boyle Group was founded 40 years ago and remains an independent firm, owned by our senior people.

We are strategic communication advisors, independent thinkers and problem solvers. Our approach relies on robust analysis of the issues, simplifying the complex, and thinking creatively. We have never been afraid to challenge or be bold.

Our services include stakeholder engagement, crisis communication, financial communication, content development and digital strategies.

We provide clients with the best of both worlds - providing independent advice, but as immersed in their business as any direct report at their top table. This builds lasting client relationships of absolute trust and confidentiality. We always work towards being part of the senior team, rather than just an advisor.

We have an understated image, with our work speaking for itself.

Our network of offices are located in Auckland, Bangkok, Jakarta, Melbourne, Shanghai and Singapore and all report to our Group Managing Director, based in Melbourne.

We are an equal opportunity employer. We believe in hiring a diverse workforce and are committed to non-discrimination on any basis.
