We engaged Helen about 5 years ago to work one day a month with my firm in coordinating the marketing for the launch of our new brand.
We previously had a number of in-house marketing executives working on a full-time basis, but for one reason and another this had not proved cost-effective.
This proved to be an excellent decision. Following consultation with me she came up with a structured and costed marketing plan which made sense, and which was straightforward to deliver. And even more importantly from my point of view, once we had agreed how to proceed, she took charge of implementing the plan, and coordinating all the activity so it was delivered, on time and on budget, so that I could concentrate on the other aspects of my role.
Even though we decided a couple of years later to move away from the brand we then chose we have retained Helen to work with us on a continuing part-time basis. She is constantly pro-active in suggesting initiatives and exploring options which we do not have the time to consider and works though projects in a structured and ordered manner. She is also constructively critical of the ideas I regularly have so that the good ones see the light of day in a marketable form, and the bad ones are consigned to the trash bin!
I would not hesitate in recommending Helen to a company or individual who wants to market their products or services. She is experienced, professional and innovative, and her flexible approach would suit most tight budgets."
