Isabella has really made a difference to the quality of my presentations over the last few years. She consistently manages to capture the essence of what I want to communicate to my audience and... crafts the message in just the right way. She has written video-scripts, promotional text and presentations for high-calibre international engineering conferences for me and I have always been blown away by the results.

I contracted Helena’s services to help me improve my online course content and develop marketing strategies. From day 1, I had a very positive experience with Helena, she is very professional,... honest, hard-working, and her experience and expertise helped me develop my business tremendously.We had a Skype meeting on average once a week (this was what we needed, but it’s very personal to each client) where we evaluated our progress and established clear goals for the week ahead. She was not just helping me with her expertise but also gave me guidance and stability.I can honestly say that I couldn’t have done it without her!Thank you so much Helena for helping me transform a draft of a course and business plan to an achieved and improved, high quality online course, and specific plans for further development of my business.read more

I had done nothing with my website for 5 years when I approached Helena to completely redesign the content and delivery .Helena took care of everything from an initial planning meeting , researching... the best content in the painting industry, tone and delivery and liaising with my web hosting providers to have the new website up and running in no time. What I have now is a very polished, customer focused website content designed to deliver more customers that is now ranking on the first page of google searches.

I enjoyed the course and I learned a lot. Thank you very much Helena and Isabella. You are awesome and I can highly recommend anyone working with you or doing one of your workshops.read more

Thank you for a really good course on website optimisation. I found the first day of the two day course quite overwhelming in terms of info overload as I have no experience in the tech field. Meta... Tags, Keywords etc were all completely new to me and I wasn’t sure I would be able to take it all in. However we were given lots of material to read and that two weeks between the two really helped. Jamila helped me prepare the survey which was very informative. By the second day I was able to integrate so much more and felt much clearer in my understanding. I liked how we had the theory and then time to review and work on our websites. I found Helena and Isabelle really helpful and very supportive. I found my private one to one with Isabelle the most helpful aspect as I received more of an individualised critique. I would highly recommend the course. For complete beginners like me I would recommend a six week evening class which would enable someone with little understanding to integrate the info and work step by step. It would also be great after an intensive like this to come together after a few months and review our developments and receive a critique but am very greatful for the company’s generous offer to review our websites individually and continue its support. Thank you for all your efforts! Now it’s over to me to put all this info into effect. Kind wishes Carolina.read more

Our law firm has had the privilege of being nominated for the New Zealand Law Awards for the past three consecutive years, and this year Helena drafted our awards entry for us. Helena was readily... able to tap into and capture our firm’s personality and values, and represented these aspects in her writing by using our brand’s tone of voice – we definitely couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Helena was full of great ideas, and drafted a truly unique and creative submission for us, all the while incorporating our wishes and feedback. We were thrilled with the result, and could clearly see the difference it had made hiring a professional for the job.read more
