| WHAT THEY SAY |

We have worked with some pretty cool clients who say some pretty neat things about us

Lisa Capel, Account Director, On Fire Design.

Yii Petrus, Experience and Marketing Director "

Holly is such a rockstar of a person! This is true in all aspects of her personality and professional capacity. Holly is someone who is able to come to the table with a "fresh eye" approach to any situation, which means that her ideas, writing, content and strategy are often fresh, unique and relevant. She has built a wonderful and respectful relationship with her media counterparts, which means that she knows the best platforms to pitch to and others to share information with - and they enjoyed working with her too. I loved working with Holly, she is always clever, professional, fun and nothing is ever too hard. Although she was in a PR Comms capacity at Parenting Place, it was obvious that she has more to offer than that. I look forward to working with her again in the near future. Thanks Holly!" 2021

Bianca Edenborough, Director of Your Team

"Our team engaged The Media Project to develop a social media strategy, content plan, advertising spend and blog content strategy for one of our clients who, being in the medical industry needed a strong voice with a sensitive approach. From our first meeting Holly and I were on the same level with our approach to marketing, and I appreciated the creativity and fresh thinking she bought to our plan. A year later, Holly continues to work with us on this client and we are achieving pleasing results through delivery of the overall strategy. I have also engaged Holly as a consultant to provide social media review and recommendations for a couple of other clients which has given us valuable insight on optimising our performance." 2017

Georgia Basagre, University of Auckland

"Holly has been a great addition to our CDES team here at the University of Auckland. She understands our purpose and our service that we provide for students. As the event coordinator for the CDES team, it is really important to get the message across to our target audience about our upcoming events. Holly, has strengthened our brand through her expertise. Our message to students have become a lot clear through our marketing and it has been great to see. We have seen an increase in student numbers and more students coming through to use our services. Holly is great to work with and I value the work she has done for our team. Keep up the good work Holly!" 2018

Catherine Stephens, University of Auckland, Manager of Career Development and Employability Services

"Holly has worked with Career Development and Employability Services at the University of Auckland for the past 2.5 years. During this time Holly has been an invaluable asset to the service. She has developed our strategic marketing and communication plan and has markedly grown our social media following. Holly is very diligent, energetic and proactive in her approach and gives 200 per cent. She is a valued member of our team and is highly respected for her expertise, knowledge and commitment to ensuring our KPIs and goals are achieved. Holly would be a great asset to anyone looking to progress their communications and marketing programme and grow their brand and market share". 2019

Liz Barry, University of Auckland

"Holly Jean has been doing our communications at the University of Auckland's Career Development and Employability Services (CDES) - increasing our brand presence through the many different channels of media. What she and her colleague Hanna Balemi have produced is first class! The stories they have written, how they have positioned our department on social media, their very creative ways of showcasing what our service offers to both students and employers has been AWESOME. The result? Our students have poured into our office and attended our Careers Events like never before. And most importantly, Holly and Hanna are so fabulous to work with - they respond straight away to questions, they work to very tight deadlines, and they truly 'get' what we are about. And they are just cool people to work with. Lots of fun, they have great energy!" 2018

Jane Carruthers, Marketing Manager Aero Commercial at Auckland Airport

“Holly worked closely with Auckland Airport developing a pre-stimulation campaign to drive registrations and stimulate thought and discussion using social media platforms, to support, promote and leverage both the Auckland Airport Asia Summit and subsequent Trenz media programme and international speaker programme. Working with Holly was refreshing and easy, she quickly grasped the complicated strategy and was easily able to translate this in a simplified social media context. Holly has since followed up with excellent recommendations for momentum and next level implementation, I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again.” 2014

Harriet Johnstone, Editor Britomart Magazine

"As a writer, it can be really tough contracting work out, as you worry that what comes back will not be of the same tone/standard that you like to set – I don’t have that problem with Holly. I know that when I brief her on a job it is always going to be written on brand and insightfully. Holly takes on each piece with skill and enthusiasm – not an easy task considering some of the shockers that go her way – and is always eager to help. I would have no reservations in recommending Holly, she has proven to be a talented and reliable writer."

David Bowles, Sales and Marketing Manager Taurus Leather Company NZ Australia

"Holly and the team at TMP are fantastic to deal with. From our initial meeting I knew Holly understood our businesses, the unique products and the direction we wanted to take our Social Media. TMP are friendly, efficient and true professionals that have taken our social media to the next level. Our post engagements and page followings have significantly increased since Holly took over, allowing us to focus on growing the business. I have no hesitation in recommending The Media Project to anyone" 2020

Lucinda McDonald, Owner Soul Interior Design

"I got in contact with Holly as I needed some help with blog content and copy and social media strategy. She very quickly understood the needs of my business and what I was aiming to achieve. From this she put together a comprehensive social media plan that was a great solution to increasing my reach and connection with my audience. She has also helped with writing copy for my blogs which is a great support and real timesaver for me. Holly is friendly, efficient and a pleasure to deal with." 2018

Jo Harris, Account Manager at Richards Partners Ltd (previously BRR Ltd)

Karen Finlayson, Director of Bodyneed Sports Clinic Ponsonby

“I run my own business and like many have learnt the hard way how to do everything from accounting to reception to recruitment to marketing - I thought I was pretty good at marketing - that was until I met Holly from The Media Project. Wow what a difference working with a marketing professional - I had no idea! Holly has ramped up our pilates bookings in the past 3 months by over 50% - people actually interact with us on facebook now and the number of 'likes' have tripled. This is being translated into actual bookings with new clients pouring through the doors for pilates classes. Holly's approach is longterm based on building a community of avid fans of our business through social media, and building and interacting with our database. I highly recommend The Media Project and we have only just started with them!”. 2015
