For the latest profile in the Canberra Communications Professional Series, I spoke to Chris Wagner from TalkForce Media.

He is an award-winning communicator, with a track record in the design and delivery of integrated national communications campaigns, using his public relations, media management, social media and marketing skills to great effect.

He brings to his clients a wealth of knowledge on all aspects of media, public relations and communications strategy, planning and facilitation, including the integration of social media into successful media and communication campaigns.

He began his career as a television journalist with Channel Ten, before branching out into public relations for the ACT’s Emergency Services Agency where he honed his media and PR skills on the front line of emergency management. Since then, Chris has undertaken roles in criminal and civil justice, national security, mental health and crisis management, working for both the government and not-for-profit sectors.
