Gail Virgona
pR & media Consultant
Gail has 20 years’ experience in PR, marketing and communications working with big name brands in the consumer/lifestyle space. Throughout her career Gail has worked both in house and agency in a diverse range of industries including FMCG, homewares, motorsport, MLM, health, food & beverage, transport, building, engineering and kids’ products.
Gail’s secret sauce is her genuine interest in diving head first into new industries and getting to know the business and the people from the inside. From stem cell research to motorsport, there aren’t many clients or customer segments Gail hasn’t worked with.
After completing a Bachelor of Arts (Public Relations) at RMIT in Melbourne, her first role took her to every corner of the globe as she worked on the Qantas ‘I Still Call Australia Home’ ad campaign. This experience as a 21 year-old managing the relationship between the client, the agency, the parents of the kids involved and the kids themselves was the definition of being dropped in the deep end. Gail discovered she’d found her passion in working with people from all walks of life.
Originally from Melbourne, Gail loves to spend her weekends discovering beaches and walking trails with her family and of course chasing the best coffee on the Sunshine Coast!
