Jeremy Kirk and Antonino Blancato have teamed up to launch a new financial services PR consultancy, KirkBlancato Communications.

Both veterans of Sydney-based financial services and corporate communication consultancy, FCR, Jeremy was formerly the General Manager, while Antonino was Director of Media at FCR for more than a decade. The pair boast more than four decades of experience in public relations, journalism and corporate affairs between them.

Jeremy said he and Antonino formed KirkBlancato because they wanted to build something meaningful that was defined by the quality of its work and designed to meet client needs on every level without any trade-offs: "We are building a communications consultancy that is known for its uncompromising focus on client outcomes and for the way it powerfully harnesses deep experience and industry knowledge.

Antonino added: "We could have come up with a generic agency name. However, we wanted to put our names on the door of this new consultancy because we believe in transparency and accountability.

“It is our reputations on the line and that is the way we think it should be. If we help our clients win, we win and we have the confidence that we will continue to win for our clients for a long time."
