Tanya Trower

Senior Communications Advisor/ Director

As a senior communications advisor and founder/ managing director of Black Belt, I’ve always enjoyed developing solutions, and the journey of an idea coming to fruition. It’s the reason I studied communications and have developed over 20 years in communications and public relations.

I’m passionate about developing authentic brands that connect powerfully with their stakeholders for success – working collaboratively with responsive, results-driven professionals to draw out the ideas that matter to drive business growth.

I have a natural and well-developed business acumen supported by a raft of finely tuned skills – from media strategy/ relations, communications and content strategy, to enhancing digital presence. In action this means a successful track record developing and executing innovative strategies to achieve targeted results – from improved perception to striking business growth and enhanced revenue.

Lauren Bennett

Marketing and Communications Consultant

I’m a storyteller at heart, turning ideas into campaigns that spark connection and drive results. With more than 15 years in marketing and communications, I’ve worked across everything from local government and events to international product launches, food science, and financial services.

I love helping organisations bring their brands to life in ways that feel real and engaging. Whether it’s a clever social media campaign, a website refresh, or a strategy to reach new markets, my focus is always on creating meaningful connections that lead to growth.

Known for blending creativity with strategy, I have a knack for spotting opportunities, bringing people together, and making projects happen. From award-winning community campaigns to international lead generation, I thrive on turning ideas into impact.

Our Creative Network

The quality of our work is in part due to the professional network of complementary skills we engage. Our solutions require an ability to translate strategy into powerful communication.

“Working collaboratively on projects with Black Belt Communications is a great way to boost creativity – Working as a team we have broader cumulative knowledge as a base. More minds means more ideas. We motivate one another to think in new and diverse ways, which pushes the project to higher levels – achieving over and above what individual effort could have achieved.

When I collaborate on a project with Black Belt I know the project will be highly organised, with thorough briefing and fantastic communication throughout. This means I can focus my time and energy on doing what I do best – ‘designing’. Benefits to the client include greater productivity, higher quality and faster delivery of a project.”
