Telepathic Instruments Lands Front Page of The Australian Financial Review

CLIENT: Telepathic Instruments
OUTLET: The Australian Financial Review (Front Page)

Telepathic Instruments has landed the front page of The Australian Financial Review - a rare and significant moment for any Australian business, let alone a music technology startup. The feature profiles the rapid rise of the Kevin Parker–co-founded company, revealing how its debut synthesiser, Orchid, generated more than $12 million in sales in just 14 months while deliberately resisting celebrity-led marketing.

In the front-page feature by AFR senior writer Michael Bailey, Parker and co-founder/CEO Charl Laubscher unpack the philosophy behind Orchid - a chord-based synthesiser designed to support, not shortcut, human creativity. The article traces the company’s origin story, pandemic-era experimentation, and its commitment to building a serious, design-led instrument rather than a novelty product, positioning Telepathic Instruments as a standout example of Australian innovation meeting global demand.

The segment raised serious questions about accuracy, transparency and the risks of oversimplifying nutrition through technology.

The Gut-Health Fibre Doctors Have Been Waiting For Returns to Australian Shelves

CLIENT: Tumme

OUTLET: 9 News National

Doctors say the return of a rare dietary fibre to Australian shelves could be the breakthrough millions of gut-health sufferers have been waiting for. Sterculia, a natural alternative for people who can’t tolerate traditional fibre supplements, works differently from common options like psyllium husks. Because it doesn’t ferment in the gut, Sterculia delivers regularity without the gas, bloating or uncomfortable side effects - just reliable relief.

DL COMMS client Tumme has been at the forefront of the fight to bring this ingredient back. Co-founders Dr Simone Peters and Rudi Van Der Viles spoke with 9 News’ Eliza Rugg, explaining why they campaigned so hard to restore access to Sterculia after it disappeared from Australian shelves five years ago, and what this means for patients seeking gentler, evidence-based gut support.
