“Lyndal was engaged by Babcock ANZ to assist in professionalising our marketing strategy and to oversee execution. Lyndal has significant knowledge and has been a real asset to the business.

"I engaged Lyndal to assist with our Marketing and overarching Business Strategy at the recently formed Investment Attraction South Australia. The Agency was formed late last year and many items such as these plans were pushed through so that the agency could be up and running creating jobs for South Australians. Lyndal worked on the content and provided the necessary links so that both documents were able to relate to one another whilst providing informative and useful content that could be used in the day to day activities of the agency. The outcome provided was a marketing plan that had strong links to the business plan, with strategic content that is used and reviewed at regular intervals. The quality and time to complete the tasks were exceptional, compared to many larger organisations.

Lyndal has assisted Ethos Media on a number of projects. Acting as a conduit between the creative services that our business provides and highly complex technical content from the client. She bridges the gap effortlessly and always ensures that both parties are suitably briefed for delivering the project effectively. I think this is a rare and valuable skill. Furthermore she is always willing to respond to queries and provide ‘on-the-spot assistance’ in a friendly and efficient manner. Her input into our work enables Ethos to take design projects to the next level. Its pleasure working with Lyndal.
