“Andy Turner added serious specialist grist to our excellent but somewhat generalist team. His combination of high-level strategic competence, in-depth sector knowledge and, importantly, expert understanding of how to guide our team to achieve meaningful results, resulted in a satisfied, loyal client. To achieve this double effect is the mark of an outstanding professional.”
Belinda Taylor, managing director, EURO RSCG Biss Lancaster (part of a global advertising agency)
“They worked on two of our consulting businesses, beating large agencies several times in pitches. Andy Turner's experience as an agency director shows through, he exceeds expectations and this is rare in my 20 years experience of the PR world. He has a proactive approach to managing client relationships. This resulted in a significant increase in media coverage and some great national press and TV exposure. He has a view to the long-term strategy to build a corporate profile over time, but is also aware of the tactical need to get results today.”
Crispin White, global marketing director, Management Consulting Group Plc (2000-7)
"We turned to Andy for his reputed mix of journalistic objectivity and sector knowledge. As a small company, we sought a PR professional who would contribute the breadth of experience we required while considering us a valuable client. Had we joined a large agency we would have languished in the lower ranks of a client portfolio. This strategy reaped dividends. While Andy’s company has thrived, he has continued to build the relationship with us.
In helping to grow our brand, he has brought an astute perspective of what is still described by some as a 'soft' sector, and combined creative input with shrewd treatment. In working with us, Andy has also brought added value. He has generated business for us and introduced us to new prospective clients, and has been quick to advise us where we were ready to spend on projects that he considered would not work and would be costly. Always, Andy has an ear to the ground and is focused on our business needs. He chivvies us, sometimes chides us but we always know he has our best interests at heart."
Lyn Bicker, managing director, TSO Consulting Ltd
“Six Sigma PR’s contribution has not just been limited to specific assignments, they've helped with the internal strategic debate on the role and importance of marketing, internal and external communications and organisation development. Andy Turner understands our business and the market we operate in, and he’s always proactive, looking to make recommendations and add value. Ever pragmatic, things always get done; from the small things like arranging media interviews to more significant activities like a media event we held in Paris.”
Warren Harris, ceo, INCAT International (part of Tata Technologies)
