About Us
Joanna Gitsham
My father always told me the key to a happy and successful career is choosing
to do something you love. When I returned to university at the age of 25 I knew
I loved writing and selling, so when I stumbled across public relations all the
pieces came together.

At DRPR I am able to utilise my knowledge of consumers and sales acumen combined
with my passion for writing. Meaning I can pinpoint the benefits of a product or
service and communicate this effectively with a target audience.
Before joining DRPR, I completed a Bachelor of Communications at the University
of the Sunshine Coast before moving to Sydney to pursue my career in PR.
Prior to this, I was a store manager for several years for the successful
Australian menswear retailer Roger David. From this experience I learnt about
consumer behaviour and the best ways to present a brand for maximum results.
Working for Telstra as a sales consultant opened my eyes up to the possibilities
of new technology in telecommunications. Being able to reach an audience through
an intimate channel like a mobile phone is an exciting prospect for PR.
I love to achieve results for myself and my clients and I'm always up for a
challenge. I'm passionate about the ever changing media environment and the
opportunities and challenges this presents.
Outside of work I am an active person and enjoy taking my red cattle dog Duncan
for a run and also exploring new parts of our beautiful country. I am a keen
salsa dancer and believe a good partnership is the key to success.
