“Our Company, Trade Tools, was undergoing various complex strategic business changes which were to significantly impact revenue streams, customers and channels to our market. We engaged with Marketing Minds as an independent sounding board to help make sure our thinking was on the right track. They assisted in ensuring our approach was sound and helped us to figure out which was the best path forward. A key part of this was how we delivered our message to the customers and stakeholders at large with the least amount of disruption and highest conversion of the new business model.
I’ve found Anne to be responsive and a great listener who asked the right questions at the right time. She was thorough with her follow up and was able to out-think complications and simplify the whole ordeal. Presentation on the findings, strategy and direction was immaculate, easy to follow and well thought through. This has helped to cement our company’s thinking and build our confidence that the direction we are embarking on is the best solution possible.”

"My expectations have been far exceeded by the team at Marketing Minds. I had an initial meeting with the team they told me they would come back with a plan. The second meeting literally blew my mind! They had really heard where I was coming from, my issues and where I wanted to take my business. The plan they came up with was extremely detailed and comprehensive. They had gone right back to foundations and then created a workable and achievable marketing plan to take my business through a transitional phase to where I want to be. They had scaffolded in options for support where they could see I would need it and gave me options to complete strategies that I could achieve. I would highly recommend Marketing Minds if you want to take your business to the next level."

"I enjoyed working with Marketing Minds on my marketing growth strategy and I’ve found them to be a very rare breed. I’ve worked with a number of marketers in the past and none of them is of their calibre. They are very knowledgeable, organised and efficient. They also have the remarkable ability to listen, make sense of my muddled thoughts and put it succinctly and clearly back to me. Anne and her team make it easy for me to know what I need to focus on and how to go about it in order to get the end results I want. Their manner is relaxed yet direct and I feel comfortable around them."
Melanie | Director At Babta Products
"I engaged Marketing Minds to assist with a relaunch strategy and plan for Nibblish. A key focus for us was on content marketing and social media to both end users and distributors.
Marketing Minds knew their field – they understood my business requirements and were up to date with the current trends, showing and sharing knowledge on what’s going on right now and what needed being done. They were able to elaborate a marketing plan that could be translated into actionable results, set to deliver on the business goals.
Furthermore, Anne and her team were also quick to respond, while working with a tight timeline. The plan I got was thorough, very comprehensive and down to earth."
Matthew Bennett I Founder of Nibblish
"I have worked with Anne as a marketing coach for about 8 months now. Every advice from her was informed with sound professionalism, and I know that I am working with someone that is a true expert in marketing. Working at a human level, her coaching is very honest, open and proactive. With her practical advice, she instills a sense of reality about what’s going on and how doing business really works. Her warmth and friendliness is underpinned by true sincerity and professionalism. It was clear that it matters to her that I do achieve what I have set out to do.
Anne could also adapt to what I needed and how I needed it. Be it Skype conferences, in the office meetings or cafe, her willingness to connect wherever needed was really helpful. Working with Anne, and Marketing Minds, has been instrumental in creating the energy and enthusiasm that I now have for the next stage of my business."
