"Needless to say I’m delighted we choose Deb to support us with the recent relaunch of our niche range of gluten-free products. While the company name might be “Casual”, working with Deb has proved to be anything but, as she has kept us on track to implement a highly effective little campaign focused around Coeliac Week. We were able to secure a feature story in a major business publication, a profile in the NZ Herald, promotion of our range by an industry body to its membership base, product mentions in the The Press' “We’re Lovin” category in “Zest”, New Idea, Woman's Day and Fresh.co.nz, as well as posts by 3 food bloggers with very good followings. There has also been flow-on interviews with other media. I was impressed by Deb’s down-to-earth approach, overwhelming passion she has for the work she does for her clients and the skill set that her and Cameron offered as a team. I couldn’t recommend Deb and Cameron highly enough. You will definitely be in safe hands."
Joanna Williamson, Managing Director of GF Treets and Howler Hotdogs.

“Debbie really is the bees knees when it comes to PR. She has successfully raised the profile of our brands through their placement in significant publications. She has also generated interest in our business cause through feature articles and interviews. There is no way we could have generated that level of public interest ourselves. If you want a lady with great connections, fantastic ideas, loads of positive energy and a passion for helping others, then I highly recommend Debbie.”
Karen Francis, Guardian Distribution
“Our signwritten van always gets recognized around town with the bold logo Cam designed for us. He created branding for us to use on our website, business cards, stickers, embroidered uniforms and printed envelopes. We must have been difficult clients as we didn’t even know what we wanted, or how to say it, but Cam was professional and friendly throughout. He came back to us with a design we are 100% stoked with! We highly recommend working with Cam to create something unique and effective for your business like he did for us.”

“Debbie just ‘got me’ and totally understood my businesses. She researched and quizzed me so that she could effortlessly mirror my language and flavour in all the work she completed.

I absolutely recommend her services to everyone that is in business. Awesome person and addition to anyone’s extended team.”

“We had an idea about creating a business retreat in Fiji – just an idea. Getting Debbie and Cam on board to help us make this idea into a reality was a really important step and what they have done to date has worked in spades. They are both so energetic with so many great ideas to consider to get your brand growing and more successful. They are also a pleasure to work with and really (really) go the extra mile to help and work so hard to deliver both to deadlines and also quality work.”
