About Candour Media Solutions

We are a Perth team of creators and strategists who think marketing should stand up to inspection. That is what the word candour asks of us.

In short

Candour means open and honest, and Candour Media Solutions is built on that idea. We are a marketing agency based in Perth, Western Australia, pairing cinematic production with data-driven strategy for businesses across Australia. We report what worked, what didn’t and where the money went. We have no connection to the UK agency with a similar name.

Our story

Why Candour Media Solutions exists

We started Candour because we were tired of agency smoke and mirrors. Too much marketing hid behind jargon and vanity metrics: likes and follows that look good in a report and tell you nothing about the business.

Perth businesses were also being underserved. Old-school firms were slow to understand short-form video and how quickly digital was shifting. We saw room for an agency that combined high-end cinematic production with practical social media growth.

Today we help businesses of all sizes, from local startups to established firms, take back their own story. That work runs across six services.

Behind the work are real people: creators, strategists and technical specialists based in Perth. If you would like to check that for yourself, pick up the phone and ask us something difficult.

The Candour philosophy

What the name commits us to

Candour means the quality of being open and honest. It is a high standard to put on a business card, so here is how we read it.

  • Radical transparency

    We show you the data: the good, the bad and the opportunity. You should know where your investment is going.

  • Perth first

    We are on the ground in Western Australia, reading the local market, the local culture and the local coffee.

  • Creativity with a purpose

    Pretty is not the brief. Visual work and strategy are there to move a number that matters to your business.

What we set out to change

The Candour way

  • Clear reporting with the jargon taken out
  • High-end photography and video, planned for your brand
  • Agile, local communication from a team based in Perth
