AI Authority & Visibility
Your buyers ask AI before they ask you. We shape what it says.
ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, and Perplexity now sit between your company and the people deciding whether to buy from it, invest in it, or cover it. AI Authority & Visibility is Third Hemisphere's practice for that layer.
Your existing marketing strategy is our starting input. We assess every area of it for AI visibility, measure how those five engines represent your brand, and then direct the work across your in-house team and the agencies you already retain.

Who the AI engines put forward, market by market
The AI Authority Index is CRISP's public measure of which companies AI engines name, recommend, and caution against when Australian buyers ask them for help, published one market at a time. Each edition asks a market's own buyer questions of ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, and Perplexity, reads every answer, and places each company the engines name on the Star Chart.

- 805 AI answers read for the edition
- 166 buyer questions asked
- 360 brands the engines named
- 96 lenders named in fewer than 30 of those answers each

28 companies on the Leaderboard, by cell:
- AI Famous (3): Commonwealth Bank, NAB, Westpac. Named in 30 percent of answers or more, and recommended for its benefits more often than cautioned against.
- Rising Star (2): ING, Macquarie. Named in 15 to 29 percent of answers, and recommended for its benefits more often than cautioned against when it is.
- Cult Favourite (15): Bank Australia, Bankwest, Bendigo Bank, Beyond Bank, Great Southern Bank, Harmoney, Liberty, loans.com.au, MONEYME, NOW Finance, OurMoneyMarket, People First Bank, Pepper Money, Plenti, Wisr. Named in under 15 percent of answers, and recommended for its benefits in the answers that reach it.
- AI Infamous (1): ANZ. Named in 30 percent of answers or more, and cautioned against more often than recommended.
- Bad Press (0): no company. Named in 15 to 29 percent of answers, and cautioned against more often than recommended.
- Off the Guest List (6): BOQ, Cash Converters, Latitude Financial Services, Nimble, Resimac, St.George. Named in under 15 percent of answers, and cautioned against more often than recommended when it is.
- On the line (1): Wallet Wizard. Reputation reads 50, where recommendation and caution are equal, so the company is placed by Presence alone, on the line between the two.

What is the Waterfall Strategy?
The Waterfall Strategy is Third Hemisphere's method for carrying one announcement from one Major Feature to every audience. Media relations, StoryWorks, investor relations, and AI Authority & Visibility each take the same story to a named audience, timed from the anchor, from launch week to week three.
What makes Third Hemisphere different from other PR agencies?
Third Hemisphere is founder-led by Hannah Moreno and Jeremy Liddle, who are actively involved in every client relationship. We employ a signature Waterfall Strategy, combine strategic depth with hands-on execution, and take an integrated approach across PR, marketing, digital, investor relations, and audience engagement.
How much does PR cost for a startup?
PR retainers for startups typically range from AUD 5,000 to AUD 15,000 per month depending on scope, industry, and growth stage. Third Hemisphere offers tailored retainer packages and project-based campaigns. Use our free PR Strategy Tool to map your communications priorities, then book a discovery call to talk through scope and investment.
What is the difference between PR and marketing?
PR (public relations) focuses on earning media coverage and building credibility through third-party endorsement. Marketing focuses on paid channels and direct audience engagement. At Third Hemisphere, we integrate both disciplines so that earned media amplifies paid activity and vice versa, delivering stronger results than either approach alone.
How do I get media coverage for a tech company?
Securing media coverage for tech companies requires a compelling news angle, strong spokesperson positioning, journalist relationships, and precise timing. Third Hemisphere develops media strategies tailored to your technology, market, and growth stage. We translate complex technical concepts into stories journalists want to publish across outlets like AFR, Bloomberg, TechCrunch, and ZDNet.
Best PR agency for government communications in Australia?
Third Hemisphere has deep experience in government and public sector communications, including work with UNIDO, B20, and government engagement programmes. Our team understands the nuances of policy communications, regulatory environments, and multi-party engagement that government communications require.
What is a capital markets PR agency?
A capital markets PR agency specialises in investor relations, IPO communications, ASX announcements, and financial media relations. Third Hemisphere provides capital markets PR services including pre-IPO media campaigns, quarterly reporting narratives, analyst briefings, and investor presentation development for ASX-listed and pre-listing companies.
What ROI can I expect from PR?
PR ROI varies by objective, but common metrics include media placements and reach, share of voice growth, website traffic from earned media, lead generation attributed to coverage, and investor or partner enquiries. Third Hemisphere tracks these metrics rigorously and offers performance guarantees on specific campaign deliverables.
PR agency vs in-house PR team: which is better?
Both have advantages. An agency brings breadth of experience, media relationships, crisis capability, and scalability. An in-house team offers deep brand knowledge and daily availability. Many of our clients use a hybrid model where Third Hemisphere provides strategic counsel and media relations while in-house teams handle day-to-day communications.
Best consumer PR agency in Sydney?
Third Hemisphere delivers consumer PR campaigns alongside our corporate and capital markets work. Our integrated approach means consumer campaigns benefit from the same strategic rigour and media relationships we bring to institutional clients. We have worked with consumer-facing brands across fintech, health, sustainability, and technology sectors.
Does Third Hemisphere work with non-profits and impact organisations?
Yes. Third Hemisphere works with impact organisations, non-profits, and purpose-driven businesses including work with UNIDO and the UN Global Compact. Our Executive Chair Jeremy Liddle has spoken at the UN and G20, and we bring the same strategic communications capability to impact organisations as we do to commercial clients.
