The culture of the company is one of trust, integrity and care.

The company philosophy is to be a part of each of their clients organisations.

The Purple Giraffe Marketing office is in Halifax Street in Adelaide, South Australia.

The organisations area of expertise includes marketing disciplines including traditional, digital and social media marketing activities and tasks.

In 2017 Purple Giraffe was invited to be an expert in the SA Leaders Group.

About the name

The quirky name of Purple Giraffe was inspired by a favourite soft toy of the founder’s son. Other reasons for this name choice include the fact that the giraffe is a unique animal that stands tall and strong, has the ability to see far, and to reach things that are unreachable to other animals. The colour purple is strong and creative.

About the founder

Before starting Purple Giraffe in 2014, Lynda Schenk worked for four decades across a diverse range of industries including: wine, hospitality, human resources, transport, medical devices, building and construction, landscape gardening, water filtration, organic farming, industrial cleaning and not-for-profit industries.
