If you’ve seen a LinkedIn post from The Fair Co., read one of our blogs, watched a project video, flicked through pamphlet, or spotted one of our visual designs online, there’s a good chance Des had a hand in it.
As our Marketing Communications Coordinator, Des helps bring the stories behind our projects, people and impact to life. From writing content and designing graphics to creating presentations, videos and reports, they play a key role in making sure our work is communicated in a way that’s engaging, accessible and authentic.
One day they’re writing LinkedIn posts and blogs, the next they’re developing design assets, editing video content, producing presentation decks or helping pull together a report. At its core, the role is about finding the story within the work and sharing it in a way that connects with people.
What drew Des to The Fair Co. was the opportunity to combine creativity with purpose.
“I like working for the greater good and being part of projects that create positive outcomes for communities.”
Since joining the team, Des is particularly proud of helping sharpen The Fair Co.’s communications and visual identity, while growing engagement across our online channels.
Behind the scenes, there’s often more going on than people realise. A big part of the role involves translating complex project information into content that’s clear, engaging and easy to understand.
Whether it’s social procurement outcomes, annual reporting data or project case studies, Des enjoys turning technical information into stories people actually want to read.
If they could change one thing about the way businesses operate, it would be for more organisations to put people first. Creating workplaces that prioritise wellbeing, flexibility and genuine support benefits everyone.
Des is inspired by people who genuinely live their values, especially those who lead with integrity, support others and remain true to what matters most to them.
And if The Fair Co. were a band?
Des wouldn’t be on stage playing an instrument. They’d be designing the album artwork, creating the posters and shaping the visual identity behind the music.
