Let’s Plan Your LinkedIn Outreach
Free 30-minute call. We’ll tell you honestly whether LinkedIn, Meta and Google Ads, or a mix is right for your business.

Your Business Comes First. The Channels Come Second.

More marketing isn’t always the answer. The right marketing starts with understanding who you want to reach and what you want them to do.

Through Taking Stock™, our discovery process, we explore your business, audience, priorities and what makes your offering different. Then we build your plan around those insights.

For a restaurant, that could mean bookings and repeat visits. For a supplier, it could mean conversations with buyers. For a service business, qualified enquiries. For an association, membership and engagement.

Different goals. A strategy built for yours.

In Their Words

Straight from the clients we and our partner PUB-Licity Media have worked with.

Website, social media and local SEO
“PUB-Licity have been an invaluable help with not only our Website but with Social Media and our Local SEO. The new website they designed and built had an immediate effect with increased bookings and I cannot thank them enough! Their system that allows us to make unlimited changes every month is simply brilliant as the cost doesn’t vary.”
Wayne Stoll, Owner, Prohibition Food & Wine
LinkedIn outreach
“I just wanted to reach out and share a quick update, we’ve recently closed another deal this week thanks to our outreach efforts! The past few months have been really encouraging with an increase in meetings booked, engagement and genuine interest from the right people. It’s been rewarding to collaborate and learn in support of consistent outreach and I believe we’re well on our way to making a meaningful difference. Thank you for your ongoing support and guidance along the way – looking forward to growing even more momentum throughout the year ahead.”
Adrian Taylor, General Manager, Savvy
Website and digital advice
“Just wanted to say a big shout out to the team at PUB-Licity. With very little input from us, they were able to create an amazing, functional and visually appealing website to coincide with the re-development of the Matraville Hotel. The advice they gave on a range of other components such as Live Sport and Social Media was also invaluable. I couldn’t recommend PUB-Licity highly enough to any pub owner.”
Matt Rissman, Owner, Matraville Hotel
LinkedIn lead generation
“Phoebe has been extremely helpful in helping us to generate high-quality leads through Linkedin. Through using her services, her team have helped us increase our monthly sales conversations and it has been a positive experience for us. She is always available to offer us her support and we highly recommend her marketing services!”
Kimberley Jones, GLMS Australia
Website
“I wanted to sincerely thank the team at publicity and in particular Steve & Mal for their amazing efforts in creating the new website for The Old Town & Country Tavern in Wangaratta. The new website site has exceeded our expectations and the feedback from our customers has been tremendous. I would not hesitate in recommending their services to anyone who is looking for a new website.”
Shayne Gannon, Owner, Old Town & Country Tavern
Social media and LinkedIn outreach
“It’s clear that ever since we started working with Thrive and Shine our numbers have shot up and we are getting consistent sales meetings, enquiries and our content is being seen. We have a solid growing community following us and engaging with our newsletters and LinkedIn posts.”
Carolina, Plane 2 Sea International
Web and digital marketing
“The Albert Park Yachting and Angling Club is a 2500 member based fishing club with bistro and entertainment facilities. We need to communicate weekly, our menus, specials, latest news, competitions, events and weather conditions quickly and succinctly. PUB-Licity help us deliver these messages effectively through their web and digital marketing strategies. As a largely volunteer club, the support we get from PUB-Licity allows us to maximise our member communication and satisfaction and our partnership is very important to our on-going success and longevity.”
Michelle Matthews, Marketing & Comms, APYAC

Strategy And Soul. Not One Or The Other.

I built my first online community on Instagram and Facebook back in 2011. But my real marketing education came in 2015, when a trip to Japan inspired me to start Matcha Sisters, a ceremonial-grade matcha brand and social enterprise. The market turned out to be about a decade too early.

What it taught me has shaped everything since. With a product most people hadn’t heard of yet, I couldn’t rely on demand. I had to create it. I learnt how to use Instagram for storytelling, how to make people care about a brand before they ever bought from it, and how to turn followers into a genuine community.

When COVID shut down events and face-to-face networking, I took those lessons to LinkedIn. No ad spend, no chasing likes. Just genuine, relationship-first conversations with the right decision-makers, turned into booked meetings. It worked, and that system is now the backbone of the lead generation we run for clients across finance, real estate and tech.

That work has been recognised along the way:

  • Winner, APAC Insider Australian Enterprise Awards
  • Finalist, Young Entrepreneur of the Year, Excellence in Business Awards
  • Finalist, Social Enterprise Award, Melbourne Business Network

Today, Thrive and Shine Co. brings websites, social media, content and lead generation together under one roof. It’s all built around one belief: success without fulfilment is just another form of failure. You don’t have to choose between purpose and profit.
