Hi, it’s nice to meet you…
Our Story
Cheeks & Co. Media began the way many great ideas do: a little industry chit chat over dinner, with a glass (or two) of champagne. Two former colleagues found themselves reflecting on the state of marketing. The overcomplicated strategies. The constant platform shifts. The reports that said a lot but meant very little. Beneath it all was a shared belief: it didn’t need to be this complex to be effective.
A few months later, Chelsea connected the dots and backed the vision. In 2025, Cheeks & Co. Media was born: grounded in transparency, guided by intelligent strategy, and just a little bit cheeky.
We connect great businesses with the right audiences at the right time. Deep industry relationships, clear and considered media planning and buying, and a sense of ease and precision in a space that often feels anything but.
The result? Marketing that is strategic, refined, and built to perform. Clarity, confidence, and results you can actually see.

Meet Jacqui Leopardi
Head of Making Everything Happen
Jacqui has built her career working with some of the world’s most recognised brands, including Nestlé, Southern Cross Austereo and Red Bull Australia, where she held the role of State Manager. Along the way, she developed a sharp instinct for building brands that don’t just look impressive in a deck but actually deliver meaningful, measurable growth.
More recently, Jacqui has stepped into the agency world, gaining a full-circle perspective on marketing. It’s here she found her sweet spot: partnering with ambitious local businesses that have already proven themselves and are ready to scale with intent.
Detail driven, commercially minded and unapologetically results-focused, Jacqui believes great marketing should do more than turn heads, it should move the needle.
At Cheeks & Co. Media, Jacqui’s official title is Head of Making Everything Happen. She keeps the wheels turning, the standards high and the promises not just met but exceeded. If it’s been said, signed, or even slightly implied… Jacqui’s already onto it.
We have an amazing team behind us!
Success isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about having the right people in the room when the questions get asked.
Cheeks & Co. Media is proud to have built an exceptional team of specialists spanning every corner of the marketing world, each bringing their own expertise, perspective, and a shared obsession with delivering real results.
From the very first audit through to strategy, presentation, onboarding and ongoing delivery, our team works seamlessly together (and yes, a little tirelessly too). It’s a genuinely collaborative approach, no silos, no handballs, just the right people, at the right time, doing what they do best.
Because great marketing isn’t about one person having all the answers. It’s about having a team clever enough, curious enough, and just cheeky enough to figure them out and then execute them brilliantly.
