The Factotum story

Factotum Communications was founded in 2020 by Director Kate Kernaghan. After a vibrant career steering events and strategic communications for NSW government organisations, Kate had worked with her fair share of consultants. From the highs and lows of these experiences, she saw an opportunity to offer the market something new – something better.

She created her own bespoke consultancy with a vision of being the only marcomms & engagement partner her clients would need. Their right-hand-(wo)man. Their Girl Friday. Their Jack(ie) of all trades. Choosing the name Factotum (a person having many diverse activities or responsibilities) was an easy choice. In our first four years of operating, Factotum has gone from strength to strength. And our IAP2 certified team has successfully tackled some of the biggest, most contentious and complex projects across Australia.

In 2024, Kate rounded out Factotum’s offering by adding marketing and training services, bringing the Factotum magic to new clients and offering existing partners an even deeper breadth of services.
