EXPERIENCE
TESTIMONIALS
'Working with Vivienne is an illuminating experience. Her pragmatic approach to strategic business and marketing advice means she always focuses on creating tangible value for her clients. She is not afraid to challenge thinking that may not create that value, because she wants your business to succeed as much as you do. Smart, down-to-earth, great company, it’s obvious she is highly-regarded by her clients. It’s a pleasure working with her.'
— Anita Coia, Corporate Communications and Engagement
'Vivienne has been a major driver of our client service program. She has developed, gained support for and implemented client service initiatives across the firm. The client listening, feedback and service programs Vivienne developed are now an integral part of our business and a major driver of service improvement in our firm.'
— Melanie Kent, Director, Marketing, Pitcher Partners
'Vivienne is a creative strategic thinker with a very strong execution focus. She has great success in getting teams/boards/groups to focus on the important concepts, make decisions, and develop strategy and tactics that work. A true professional.'
— Jenny Beresford, Research Director, Digital Innovation at Gartner
'Vivienne is one of the most creative marketing consultants I have known. She is also a very effective strategic facilitator and has a direct style that cuts through noise and fluff to the heart of the matter. Vivienne also has a great sense of humour that adds to her abilities to work well with a large variety of clients.'
— Paul Cooper, Interim Director Strategy and Governance at CenITex
'Vivienne's vision combines with a strong practical capacity to plan and implement effective change in organisations. Her drive, clear thinking, and positive outlook makes her a force in her field. Her strategic input has made a substantial contribution to our renaissance, helping make it, once again, a dynamic leader in Australian real estate. Vivienne's steel-trap-mind will definitely deliver a dose of 'Marketing Logic' to your organisation. Plus, she has a great sense of humour!'
— Stewart Bunn, National Communications Manager, First National Real Estate
'When you hire experience you want it to be presented when necessary and Vivienne does so with near perfect empathy. By sharing what is needed and why she helps everyone improve. Where she shines is in bringing her experience and the client's business needs together. Never is Vivienne, "I'm the expert and you'll follow me". Rather, "I have expertise I think you'll benefit from. Let me help you to understand."'
— David Buchan, Bringing humanity back to the workplace
'Vivienne is the go-to person for professional services marketing.'
— Brett Scarlett, Strategic Advisor/Commercial Manager/Business Consultant and SME Company Director
'Vivienne came to our business at a time when we were extremely busy and changing direction in response to client demands. Vivienne's strategic, board and business experience brought discipline and focus to a stretched management team. As a result, the business continued to grow strongly, but with purpose and direction. On top of her strategic input, Vivienne was able to roll her sleeves up and provide much needed hands-on marketing to help us achieve our goals.'
— Marcus Simkin, CEO, Myriad IT
