What clients say about Steve's copy and consultancy…
“Great turnaround; efficient and professional; speedy response; aggressive timescale; fresh approach.”
“Creative, versatile - and obsessed with results -- a real ‘guerrilla’ marketer…”
“I found working with you to be a pleasure. You provided excellent work and great turnaround in an efficient and professional manner.”
“The first part of the launch is complete. It may interest you to know that over 500 leads were generated from 3,200 contacts. A very good return due, in no small part, to the printed and electronic collateral that you produced. Since a major part of the launch used the Web, your speedy response was essential in maintaining our aggressive timescale.”
“It is a pleasure to work with you. Because a promise is a promise. I too believe in this way of working.”
“By using his [Steve’s] skills for a variety of clients, we can always bring a fresh approach to that client's work, where otherwise the creative flair would begin to dull.”
“The new magazine looks amazing. Very stylish. A wonderful advert for Bond holidays.”
“… very impressive and a joy to read.”
“…a fine magazine. Informative, interesting and well laid out.”
“… a first class magazine. I found the articles interesting and informative, and the photographs wonderfully evocative and enticing.”
“I know that the recent magazine is the third of the 'new look' but I have to say that it is getting better and better. The features and layout are more attractive and the whole effect is to give it extra appeal and readability. And it's informative!”
“Quality product that reflects and augments the total HPB experience. I look forward to the next issue.”
“I feel I must just congratulate you on producing such a superb edition. I like the new format … you do seem to have struck the right balance between continuing with the known and familiar and the introduction of fresh and useful innovation.”
“I thought I’d drop you a personal line of congratulation on the new style BOND magazine. When I first saw it I thought, “Here we go, new editor means change for change’s sake”, but having read the magazine, I now see the point. You appear to be taking the magazine to being a more upmarket journal…”
“Congratulations on finding such an excellent new editor for the magazine and eNews. He is doing a fine job – so much more intelligent, user-friendly and, dare I say it, un-patronising.”
