Leading Australian non-bank lender Pepper Group has appointed Sefiani as its agency to develop and implement an integrated communications program with a focus on thought leadership, advocacy, media relations and digital channel engagement.

“Pepper’s proposition as the leader in “real life lending” for Australians who face real life situations really resonated with us,” said Sefiani Director Sarah Craig. “In the current setting, demand for non-bank lending is anticipated to grow, and we very much look forward to working closely with Pepper shaping communications outreach to mortgage brokers, financial and business media and the community”.

Melinda Hofman, Corporate Affairs Manager, Pepper Group said “We’re very pleased that our search for a PR partner led us to Sefiani, who put forward a senior team with deep experience in the financial services sector. Their understanding of our business and strategy impressed us, along with their strong track record shaping corporate narrative and helping build brands.”
