About Us
Icebreaker’s origin story begins way back in the 1980s, when then teen Kate Robertson wrote an impassioned article to the editor of the now-defunct Mornington Peninsula Newspaper that led her high school to take rat dissections off the biology curriculum. Buoyed by the win, and the lesson that words can make a difference, Kate set her sights on a career in journalism.
Fast forward three decades and Icebreaker Communications is continuing to have an impact, leveraging Kate’s experience as a journalist for outlets including The Age Newspaper and ABC Radio, plus roles in corporate communications for not-for-profits in the health, education and community housing spaces.
Icebreaker’s evolution continues, we have embraced emerging technology to meet our clients’ needs. We have run training to help not-for-profits take advantage of AI applications and developed expertise in building AI Agents that empower service users, particularly those from non-English speaking backgrounds, or who are hearing impaired.
Icebreaker Communications has come a long way since that first heart-felt letter but whether it’s through a gripping piece of content, an engaging email, or a helpful AI Agent, the heart of Icebreaker Communications remains the same: a love for telling a cracking and thought-provoking yarn that has an impact for good.
