Everything we do is underpinned by our brand values.

CELEBRATION

We believe that work should be fun and that the people we support and serve should be celebrated. We pour this playful mentality into everything we do - whether it’s planning and hosting an event, working within a team as a partner or engaging with our own followers.

COMMUNITY

It goes without saying that communities are at the heart of Sense & Forum. ‘Cos we truly believe that communities are the lifeblood of purpose-led brands. And we want to make sure that we cultivate and serve them in as honest and impactful a way as possible.

Care

We are huge mental health advocates and strongly believe that a focus on mental health support should be at the core of all communities. It’s an approach that we encourage all of our clients to embody and nurture.

CREATIVITY

You see that box? We laugh in its face. Our solutions are far from ordinary and we love nothing more than challenging the status quo. Our mission is to surprise and delight so that we can turn your problems into flippin’ awesome opportunities.

COMMUNICATION

Whether you’re our client or a community, we believe in the personal touch. We know that authentic connections can only be built through human to human communication. We want you to trust and believe in us. And we promise: we won’t disappoint.

We are all about delivering…….

01. DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES

We strive to educate our own community and our clients on the importance of creating diverse and inclusive communities. It’s a major part of our process; we practice what we preach.

02. SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES

When planning events and integrating new communities, we always look at how we can apply sustainable switches and additions. Even the simplest touches can make a huge difference.

03. KEEPING COMMUNITIES SAFE

Something we are super passionate about is our ability to migrate away from Meta apps into safe and secure community built apps. It’s something we’re really pushing and have truck loads of experience in.

04. PEOPLE BEFORE PROFIT

If you care more about cashing in cheques compared to actually serving and supporting your community, then soz to say we aren’t the people for you. It’s why we buzz over ethical, purpose-led brands.

Holy macaroni - our soap box is carrying one hell of a load

Into these vibes? Great. We’ll have you saying things like this in no time:

Say hello to Serena G!

Oh hey - I’m Serena G, an Aussie marketing geek turned creative business owner.

Sense and Forum materialised after some pretty heavy soul searching. As it so often does , life had thrown me one hell of a curve ball, and I knew that I had to make a massive change in order to build the life my body and mind craved while recoveing from burnout and depression. I needed a business where I could serve my dream clients with joy and flexibility. A brand that felt undeniably true to my values in life. I have to pinch myself every day when I realise that this is now my reality.

When I’m not working with human-centric brands on their marketing and community strategies (and loving every friggin’ second of it) you’ll find me being in my top job as a mum to Mateo, then being a mental health advocate and first aider, swimming, practicing yoga, taking our rescue puppy to the beach and cooking using whatever I can find in the cupboard (I actually studied hospitality and cookery after highschool, plus my Italian background means that food is pretty much my first love after Mateo).

My life is a mixed bag and my history is vibrant. I bring this colourful spark to each and every thing that I do.

Let’s Talk community, public speaking gigs, advocacy and much much more.

Weirdest work request I’ve ever had:

Shipping wine and food from Australia all the way to the London Symphony Orchestra in the UK for a South Australia Club annual dinner. Needless to say it was a logistical nightmare but I absolutely smashed it (*pops collar*).
