IndigenousX

About Us

IndigenousX was founded in 2012 by our director, Luke Pearson, as a way to help showcase and amplify a diverse range of Indigenous voices online. The project began as a rotating Twitter account, where a new Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander host takes over the account each week to tell their own story in their own words.

Twitter remains to be our most recognised and engaging platform to date with over 39,000 followers online and over 300 hosts taking over the account, but it has also expanded from its humble beginnings to developing partnerships with the Guardian Australia; crowdfunding platform StartSomeGood (with over $400,000 raised for Indigenous projects so far); a sister-account in Canada (@IndigenousXca); a business account (@IndigenousXLtd); our own content on our own website with hundreds of articles published by Indigenous writers; a product range via Redbubble; and complimentary social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube to name just a few.

Services

The success of IndigenousX has lead to increased involvement in supporting a variety of related projects and campaigns, and accordingly we now offer a range of services to organisations, community groups, and research projects to help them improve their approach and reach online and to assist in the development, implementation, and evaluation of their digital strategies.

These services broadly take the forms of Consultancy, Promotions, Crowdfunding, Training, Social Media management, and Public Speaking.
