In their words

"Jackie at Humankind Advisory has been instrumental in helping Emergency Action Alliance launch its emergency appeals to the Australian public. Jackie has written and distributed appeal launch media releases and liaised with key media contacts to secure an excellent level of coverage for emergencies such as the Horn of Africa hunger crisis and the Türkiye/Syria earthquakes. Jackie worked closely with our colleagues at the ABC to help secure an important field visit of an ABC journalist to one of our emergency operations sites in Somalia resulting in an increase in awareness about the hunger crisis.

Jackie has been the key liaison point between media, EAA, its members and spokespeople during emergencies, managing and reporting on the interview activities, and ensuring spokespeople were thoroughly briefed.

We look forward to continuing working with Jackie and Humankind Advisory as we continue to grow this important humanitarian alliance."

- KERREN MORRIS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, EMERGENCY ACTION ALLIANCE
