Media & Visibility
We help two kinds of organisation: those that need to understand how media works, and publishers looking for commercial models that last.
Trusted as media experts by government-funded institutions in Australia, the European Union and regional projects across the Asia Pacific.
Grant submissions
Tasch writes and coordinates multi-stakeholder grant submissions for consortia of research institutions, universities, cultural organisations and companies, most recently a Horizon Europe proposal submitted in September 2026.
From consortium partners, on the day of submission.

“Well done Tasch & team! Amazing job and support!”
“Thank you so much, Tasch and the whole team, for all your hard & professional work.”
Understanding media
Newsrooms are smaller, journalists cover more beats, and newsletters, podcasts and creators now break stories. We teach organisations how that system works, then help them earn a place in it.
Masterclass · Two hours · Startup cohort
Led by Tasch, with Guy on the commercial engines behind credibility, and a guest segment from David Cendón García, Editor of EU-Startups, on how editors choose what to feature.
Founders left with a story and pitch structure, tools to secure coverage without an agency, and a content plan they could start on straight away.
Commercial content
Publishers will build editorial-quality stories for the brands that pay them, and audiences trust them because the masthead does. Guy helped pioneer it in Australian news media.
His Clipsal 500 Adelaide campaign for The Advertiser and Sunday Mail won Best Marketing Solution for an Advertising Client at the International News Media Association Global Media Awards.
For accelerator cohorts, portfolios and leadership teams, built around their sector and stage.
The angle, the pitch, the media kit and a website that backs up what you claim.
White papers, original research and the placements and awards worth pursuing.
Themes, calendars and a repurposing workflow a small team can keep up for twelve months.

Media viability
Fifteen years across agency, digital publishing and commercial strategy in Australian media, then viability work in Timor-Leste, the Pacific and Southeast Asia.
Revenue models built for the local market, the move from advertising dependence to subscriptions or hybrids, and partnerships, aggregators and shared infrastructure.
How audiences behave and what they would pay for, the barriers to growth, and how a market compares with regional and global practice.
Workshops for leadership, sales, marketing and editorial teams on search, social, mobile, subscriptions and AI, and what each means for revenue.
Consultation and dialogue across publishers, press councils, telecommunications providers, advertisers, governments, donors and development partners.
Several years with ABC International Development, each engagement building on the last. Read the case study
Viability work with Pacific media organisations, focused on modern, locally driven models partner organisations can sustain.
Research and stakeholder consultation for the Timor-Leste Press Council: the feasibility of a digital content aggregator, and the council's capacity to lead the transition.
Speaking on media viability: finding and fixing underperformance, reading competition, and managing systems risk.
“In working closely with Guy Turner of Turner & Co over several years, I have been impressed by the energy and practical focus he brings to his work, with an emphasis on modern, locally driven solutions that partner organisations can sustain. I have engaged with Mr Turner's work across the Pacific and Timor-Leste and directly oversaw his recruitment to lead research and stakeholder consultations on how Timor-Leste's media sector could prepare for high-speed broadband, including the feasibility of a digital content aggregator model and the capacity of the Press Council to lead that transition. The engagement required consultation across the Press Council, media companies, telecommunications providers, advertisers, government, non-government organisations and development partners, and drew on his experience in digital media strategy, audience research, commercialisation and stakeholder management.”
“Guy has a deep understanding of how large, complex organisations operate, not just in theory, but in the real-world context of competitive, fast-moving markets. I've seen him design and deliver audience, revenue and operational strategies that boosted profitability and positioned companies for sustained growth. Through brand transformations, mergers and crisis management, Guy has demonstrated exceptional leadership - calm under pressure, able to align boards, executives, and teams around a shared vision, and always laser-focused on results. His skill in translating data and market intelligence into clear, actionable strategies consistently drives impact.”
Twenty years that changed Australian news media. Legacy models collapse rather than fade; platforms took the most valuable revenue; experimentation is survival. And for emerging markets: don't assume linear progress, and build enabling infrastructure early.

Agencies are the economic spine of healthy media ecosystems. Emerging markets lack that layer, so publishers stay sub-scale and depend on donors. The case for funders, global agency networks and policymakers to build it together.
