Agentur

First Nations & cultural

Inject culture with confidence.

Culturally significant events delivered with protocol, consultation and care. Twenty years of practice, not a service line we added recently.

Our method

Seven steps, from first conversation to debrief.

Culture is not a service line we added recently. It is woven into who we are, through our team, our hiring, and the way we plan every event we touch, whether or not culture is the reason you called us.

1

Listen first

Understand whose Country it is, whose story it is, and who needs to be part of the conversation before anything is planned.

2

Consult from the outset

Traditional Owners and community are engaged at the beginning, not handed a finished plan and asked to approve it.

3

Plan protocol in, not on

Welcome, Acknowledgement and ceremony are designed into the program from the first draft, with the time and budget they need.

4

Pay and credit properly

Cultural contributors are paid professional rates and credited by name, on the program and in the room.

5

Brief everyone

Every supplier and crew member knows what is expected of them before they arrive on site, not once they are there.

6

Hold the line on the day

Sensitivity is maintained through delivery, including with media and film crews who may not know the protocols.

7

Debrief with community

The debrief goes to community as well as the client, so the relationship outlasts the event itself.

What we take on

Ceremony, conference and celebration.

Ceremony & commemoration

Historic and culturally sensitive moments, delivered with the care and discretion they demand.

First Nations conferences

National gatherings for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations, with full PCO scope and cultural fluency.

Cultural festivals & awards

Celebrations of First Nations music, art and achievement, from concept to broadcast.

Forums & symposia

Treaty, governance and leadership forums where the conversation matters as much as the logistics.

I highly recommend Agentur as being highly proficient and competitive in the Events Management of Indigenous specific gatherings, regardless of size.
