Do you have a favourite customer story you would like to share?

We had the pleasure to work with Ben Hudson who was preparing his very own cabaret show in Sydney. We came on board to assist with his integrated marketing communications plan. Ben had no website, social media and was unsure on how to approach media for coverage of his event. We worked with Ben to implement a wide variety of social media across multiple platforms, implement a website and provide copy for his press releases. His show was an outstanding success with a sell out crowd. He is now planning to take his show nationally early next year.
