Testimonials

“Casual Fridays bought their A-game to Block Dock publicity for sure. Very happy and super thankful for their efforts. Above and beyond!”

“We were recommended Cam and Deb from Casual Fridays to create a new website for our business.  Working with them has been so incredibly easy.  They have great design flair,  technical knowledge and writing skills.  They take on board your own ideas as well as offering their expertise at all stages.  We are looking forward to working with them well into the future.”

“Thank you sooooo much Debbie and Cam — we love our new website! You guys made it so easy for us. You are both so talented at what you do. Can’t wait to work with you guys again.”

“My past experience with PR agencies can’t even be compared to the enormous value Debbie delivered to us. Debbie went far above and beyond expectations! She immediately understood our brand, target group and what we were after. We thought if we could get a mention in one, maybe two, of the media she put forward we would be satisfied but only a few weeks in I get a phone call from one of New Zealand’s largest newspapers. After this followed a stream of other media, all organised by Debbie. Her engagement is very personal and she delivers on her promises. Debbie also understands how the PR she brought us could be used to leverage more value, so she’d share advice along the way. I haven’t touched upon Debbie’s talents as a writer, but she is talented in all areas of her field, so that goes without saying. I can only highly, highly recommend!”

“We enlisted Deb and Cam from Casual Fridays to assist with branding and promotion of a new launch. This involved brand strategy, website development, script writing and social media program. From the outset our team felt we were in good hands with these guys and Debbie stepped up well to manage the process. One of her major strengths is to make things happen and she came up with a number of options to assess and push forward with. The branding process was well executed, along with site development. We had some tight deadlines and these guys didn’t miss a beat. I would definitely use the Casual Friday crew again and highly recommend them to do a great job and get it done.”

“Starting a business from scratch is a huge challenge. Cam & Debbie have been fantastic to deal with and have helped us with everything from clarifying our business name right through to our logos and website. We look forward to dealing with them again in the future and can’t recommend them highly enough.”

“Debbie and Cam really are your one-stop-shop for all your marketing needs. In just two months of working with them they have already helped double our enquiry rate through social media campaigns, copywriting and website design. I can’t wait to see what can happen given even more time!”

She has built terrific media relationships over the years, tells it like it is, and is widely respected for her writing and PR skills. Debbie has been instrumental in building our media profile, and has opened many doors for me – and given me the confidence to walk through them. She rocks.”

“It was a pleasure working with Casual Fridays on our website. We are super happy with the result! Debbie’s copywriting skills in being able to distill techy info into such digestible bite-sized pieces is next level. Cameron’s website design, build and implementation on time and to budget is just awesome. Would recommend Casual Fridays any day!”

“Debbie was lovely to work with and very effective in getting us included in magazines across a number of different titles in New Zealand, which gave us some excellent exposure including some magazine covers. We will definitely be using her services again.”

“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.”

“Debbie is an integral part of my Business Changing team. She has worked with over 25 of my clients and all have been completely ecstatic with what she has done for them. Debbie knows how to build brands and interest in products and is super-effective with her skill set and sharing it to the maximum effect for clients. Beyond helping so many of my clients, Debbie has been a huge impactor on my own company. Debbie has literally been one of the key secret sauces as to why Business Changing is doing really well and is respected amongst NZ businesses. Cam has been super helpful and effective in doing some great design work for me and I look forward to seeing what we get up to next in both helping my clients and also growing my own businesses.”

“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.”

“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 is very enthusiastic and proactive and provided us with a professional service that was tailored towards our specific needs. Debbie was a pleasure to work with and has a great network of contacts that have helped us raise our profile and consequently generated a lot of new interest in the business.”

“We are rapt with the website Cam created for the Redwoods Treehouse. The final product perfectly fits the brief and we’ve had a great response to it. It was a pleasure to deal with Cam, who had some great ideas and a can-do attitude.”

“I’ve been working with Debbie for over 2 years and I’ve always been incredibly impressed with not only her extensive industry contacts but her understanding of how successful businesses operate. Debbie offers more than just copywriting, marketing support and PR – she knows exactly what people need to hear and when they need to hear it. Debbie is incredibly easy to work with, super talented, incredibly fun to work with and she always over delivers – I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Cam is designer who “just gets it”. He is very artistic and has the talent to really evoke emotion in the work that he does. I would definitely recommend Cam as he listens, is very professional but most importantly he has the imagination to give you something that is unique and really stands out.”

“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. Debbie is unbelievably professional with everything completed super-fast and at an incredible standard. She also makes working together fun, which is incredibly important. 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.”
