The Lawson Common Room: where sharp minds and generous spirits meet - part fireside chat, part professional detour.
While we usually explore the many ways people find themselves in the law, this March we’re turning our attention to the laws of reputation, the power of digital narrative, and the people rewriting the story of our city.
Host Nicholas van Hattem is joined by two of the city’s most influential voices in media and strategy: Luke Whelan and Lanna Hill.
As co-founder of Perth Is OK!, Luke has done more than most to retire the “Dullsville” label. From the early days of Pilerats to building WA’s largest independent media platform, Luke has shared his love with our backyard.
Joining him is Lanna Hill - strategist, media adviser, and weekly columnist for The West Australian. Through Rally Group and Leverage Media, Lanna works at the intersection of leadership and perception, guiding organisations when the story gets complicated.
Together, they’ll unpack Perth’s evolving energy, the shifting mechanics of influence, and what it takes to build a brand - or a city - that people genuinely want to show up for.
