But don’t just take our word for it...

“Its one thing to trust the design of a brochure to an external agency, even the responsibility for an entire campaign, but to place the entire “go to market” strategy of a $50+m organisation in the hands of others takes more than good vibes and a nice folio. Strategic Minds has brought together inspired creativity, sound strategy and utter dependability. Their contribution to the ministry of Compassion extends far beyond that of most commercial partnerships.”Jeff Nagle, COO - Compassion Australia

“Strategic Minds is an absolute pleasure to work with. The work they produce is of the highest quality – comparable with any top agency, however, I believe it’s their service which sets them apart. They make working to tight deadlines and budgets seem all so easy. They are proactive in providing input and advice, but also take direction from the client very well. They always seem to quickly and thoroughly ‘get’ our concept and then throw themselves into the project with such passion. They go above and beyond the call of duty, giving the project everything they possibly can. I would not hesitate to recommend Strategic Minds – they are truly a joy to work with!”Natalie Moses, Marketing Director - Compassion Australia

“Strategic Minds Communications delivered a highly

effective media buy for Supernova, our biggest program

launch of the year, for the budget given. It was an

innovative buy, with good strategy and ideas, and the

service received was fabulous. I highly recommend

Strategic Minds – they go over and above in their delivery.”

Anna Cochrane, Marketing Director - UKTV
