Testimonials

Brett Johnson, Head of Sales, Blue Star Group

Green Door Co was brought in to assist Blue Star with our marketing during a transition period when we had limited internal marketing resources. Having previously been fairly quiet on the marketing front, we had some ambitious marketing goals and were eager to see things happen.

I was extremely impressed by the Green Door Co team’s ability to hit the ground running and successfully manage a whole host of marketing activities. Thanks to Green Door Co we were able to gain traction with our marketing activity quickly. It’s a real pleasure to work with a team that just gets things done – at a high quality and with a short turnaround.

Green Door Co managed everything from facilitating marketing strategy workshops, writing marketing plans and running social media training, through to developing case studies, building our LinkedIn presence and delivering videos.

What really set Green Door Co apart was the team’s ability to seamlessly fit in with our team, easily building trust and great relationships with people at all levels. They were always extremely responsive – we were able to send anything their way, knowing that they would handle it. You can’t ask for a better working relationship.

I would absolutely recommend working with Green Door Co. Not only are the team experts at what they do, they are a joy to work with and get great results.

Karen Bevan, Former CEO, Playgroup NSW

Playgroup NSW contracted Heather Marano initially to review our digital approach and develop a new digital strategy for our organisation in July 2014 and has since retained her to support our media relations and other digital and marketing services. Heather has worked with our Communications and Marketing Team to assist them in improving content for our digital platforms and provides guidance and support across a range of areas.

Heather’s initial digital strategy project was a comprehensive analysis of the changing demographics and digital landscape faced by Playgroup NSW and our current position in this environment. Heather made strategic, thoughtful recommendations about our forward strategy, which are being implemented.

As a medium sized not for profit Playgroup NSW has limited resources and operates within a very specific context. Heather’s understanding of the not for profit sector, including challenges and opportunities, has added depth to her work for us and enabled us to get on with implementation without misunderstandings over investment. She ‘gets’ our services and context and that’s been an invaluable asset for us.

Heather’s personal style and ability to communicate and engage with people at all levels across staff, consumers, managers and Board members is a great strength that adds value to the work she does for us. Our staff value her input highly.

Matt Cave, Former General Manager, Blue Star PROMOTE

VAVAVOOM (now Blue Star Promote) has retained Heather Marano to support our marketing, content, digital and PR needs since 2014. Since that time VAVAVOOM has significantly grown our awareness and enhanced our reputation in the market. Heather has also done a great job of building my profile as a thought leader.

Heather has been involved in all elements of our marketing from writing content for our blog, distributing eDMs and managing our social media accounts, through to lead generation strategy and media pitching.

As a medium sized business without a dedicated marketing resource, Heather has added enormous value to VAVAVOOM. We’ve had the advantage of having a senior consultant in our ranks without having to pay needlessly high agency fees or the high costs of employing someone in-house.

Heather is adept at working directly with CEOs and senior managers to recommend marketing strategies which deliver on high-level business objectives. Not only is she a highly strategic thinker, she’s also a ‘doer’. I know if I give Heather a task she will always get it done efficiently and at a high quality.

Heather runs a highly professional business. She is dedicated, responsive and flexible. She has taken the time to understand our business inside and out and this shows in every piece of work she delivers. She is always on the hunt for new ways to add value and has built strong relationships with the team. She is also extremely personable and very easy to work with.

I have recommended Heather many times to my contacts and will continue to do so. I couldn’t be happier with our working relationship and look forward to the many opportunities ahead.
