Social Good Outpost

Who we are

Social Good Outpost is an Australian strategic and creative communications studio. We work with social enterprise, business and government, providing impact measurement, communication design, strategic mentoring and curation of international diplomacy programs.

Founded in 2016 by two sisters, Lara Stephenson and Dr Elise Stephenson, Social Good Outpost is a women-led team, working across three departments: design & communication, impact measurement, and public diplomacy and curated events.

Social Good Outpost ‘Studio’ leads our design and communication services.

Social Good Outpost ‘Impact’ leads our impact measurement and support work with organisations.

Social Good Outpost ‘Curates’ leads our public projects, creative diplomacy, strategy and events implementation. 

We have travelled all across Australia, in tiny homes, caravans and on the road to reach rural and regional communities, and live regionally. We have a particular focus on empowering women, LGBTIQ+ and connecting with and supporting Indigenous and ethnic minority communities.

We’re social entrepreneurs, designers, researchers and strategists. We have run more than 76 workshops with communities, business and government across Southeast Asia spanning topics like gender equality and entrepreneurship, LGBTIQ+ inclusion, climate action and dealing with climate change, social enterprise, and leadership.

What we do

We use our experience in social enterprise and social impact to create practical solutions that your team can own and grow. We partner with you to develop a clear plan of action to achieve your goals.
