Our Story
Born from the heart of Australian broadcasting
pressdekko.com was established in 2016 by a group of experienced Australian journalists and broadcast engineers who recognised a critical gap: newsrooms were struggling to coordinate their digital press desk operations, live feed workflows, and on-camera setups with the efficiency that modern reporting demands.
What began as a specialist consultancy for Sydney metropolitan stations quickly grew into a comprehensive platform used by community broadcasters, regional newspapers, national TV networks, and digital-first media startups from Darwin to Hobart.
Today, pressdekko.com is trusted by over 500 press desks across Australia — delivering the technology, workflows, and hands-on support that keep Australian journalists on air and on deadline.
