Client Feedback

Customer satisfaction is really important to us, which is why we pull out all the stops to ensure a job well done. Although we always check to see if the client is happy, we don’t expect written feedback, so when it arrives it’s just the bee’s knees. Below and throughout this website are examples of some of the feedback we have received.

“I worked with Shelley for many years when she assisted me with public news releases and Annual/Interim reports at Mooring Systems Limited. Shelley was an invaluable asset at busy times and greatly assisted me in communications with to shareholders and other stakeholders. I would highly recommend Shelley if you are looking to really polish your PR!”  Peter Montgomery, Director – Investor & Public Relations, Tradevine

“Shelley provided all the PR services for me whilst I was MD of both Holliday Group Ltd and iTouch Ltd (now BlackBay Ltd) – she built up the external profile of my company through her PR expertise and business network such that we received huge exposure and coverage of the successes of my company. This lead to tangible benefits to the company in a way which I had never expected – we finally started receiving calls from potential clients we had never heard of who would say ‘We are calling you because you are the leader in this space …’ which could only have come from the level of activity she created for us over a period of time.” Phil Holliday, Director of Holliday Corporation and Emendo

“Shelley has an innate ability to work through issues with an organisation, assisting them with clarifying their PR and communication strategic outcomes and then ensuring the processes and content are put in place to ensure delivery to the agreed targets. Also, during my tenure as General Manager of Tyco Electronics when Shelley was actively involved on the organising committee for the Westpac Hi Tech Awards, I maintained our company category sponsorship, confident that with her involvement, the event would deliver valued outcomes for our business through this event’s coverage.” Marcel F van Dijck, Director Emech Control

“Working with Shelley and the team at Communicate IT has had a dramatic effect on our profile within the industry. We’ve had project case studies profiled in a number industry magazines, the front cover of a nationwide publication and most recently a Breakfast Business segment on National TV. Shelley is a great person to work with and I plan to continue doing so.” Peter Brown, Director Nightside

“Communicate IT listened and quickly grasped our business and what makes us special, and set a strategy, and delivered on it. Within a weeks, we were profiled in Computerworld, Business Day, The Press, and the National Business Review. Then, all of a sudden, new prospects were saying they’d already heard about us from someplace else. It’s a fantastic result, and one we’re looking forward to building on with Shelley and her team.” Ian Johnson, DirectorTimeFiler

“Thank you so much for the work you have done for Clarus recently. We are very happy with the nationwide publicity we have received. It has resulted in a number of new business leads and has greatly assisted Clarus with building our profile as a leading IT consultancy. We have found the process of working with Communicate IT to be very professional yet relaxed, with clear results. You have proven your worth to us and we intend on continuing to nurture a strong working business relationship with you moving forward. Thank you to you and your team!” Edwin Dando, Director Clarus

I have worked with Shelley both as part of the 2005 Hi-Tech Awards Organising Committee and as part of the Board of Canterbury Software. I can say I find Shelley a pleasure to work with; she has a very good knowledge of the tech sector, and has excellent communication and organisational skills. She is a very committed and passionate person and has been a dedicated contributor to the Canterbury ICT sector for a number of years. I can happily recommend Shelley to tech companies seeking a specialised PR/communications service. Don Rae, International Market Manager New Zealand Trade & Enterprise

“Great case study! I want to get Icehouse to incorporate it in the Go Global programme and on their virtual lounge for their participants. … Also great paper on ‘Engineering is Awesome’. I am all in favour and would prefer it not to be watered down. I would like to see it expanded to give a message along the lines of ‘use the media positively to secure your advantage’. … This is great!” Craig Taylor, ICT Director, New Zealand Trade & Enterprise (in response to the joint FutureIntech & Communicate IT “PR for Engineering” document).

“Thank you so much for your hospitality and looking after me so well in Christchurch. It was lovely actually meeting you and I think you have done a splendid job for us.” Annette Dow, President of Binary Research International (US).

“Congratulations are in order! Today we signed up a brand new client as a direct result of the article that appeared in Business Magazine. They rang me as soon as they saw it, I did a quote and we met with them on Monday. Today they faxed through our sign-off for a 12-month contract so we are very pleased! I want to congratulate you for helping us to achieve this goal and I look forward to working with you again on our future PR requirements. Thanks for your help!”
Kalena Jordan, Director, Web Rank Ltd.

“Well done, to both you and Natalie on the excellent organisation and coverage of the event.”
Chris Bran, General Manager, Tyco Electronics Australia.

“After the publication of the article about our contactless card project we received enquiries from potential customers in Asia who would like to work with us on contactless projects. One project is potentially quite large. We have also been contacted by manufacturers who specialise in this product for the North Asian markets who have asked us to manufacture for them, as they don’t have capacity for some of their orders. All in all there are some substantial contactless enquiries which have arisen as a direct consequence of the publishing of the news release written and distributed for us by Communicate IT.”
Sonya McGill, Business Development Manager, Security Plastics.
