Meet the NSW mentors
Andie Crawford
Head of PR & Communications at Banter Agency
I have 20 years of big brand consumer PR experience. Started my career in London in the ’90s working in entertainment PR and then moved to Australia 11 years ago. I am a mum to three beautiful daughters and one gorgeous Kelpie boy.
TL;DR – I’m a visual storyteller, I like ideas and I like learning from other people. Somehow I convinced people to pay me to do that for a living.
