Client testimonials

  • “I can’t speak highly enough of Jacqui’s work. She is an absolute pro when it comes to media and comms, with a genuine drive to make positive change. Her support over the past couple of years has helped us to land some key media pieces at a time of growth for our organisation. I’ve also had the pleasure of being interviewed for her podcast. She’s multitalented, extremely resourceful and wonderfully easy to work with.”

    — Licia Heath, CEO, Women for Election Australia

  • “Jacqui is an incredibly talented writer. She understands how powerful a simple, concise sentence can be. She knows that saying something in 500 words is far more interesting than saying it in a thousand. Most importantly, she knows that words with many syllables are not always a sign of superior intelligence.”

    — Larissa Tuohy, Head of Communications & Advocacy, ChildFund Australia

  • “Jacqui is widely regarded as an expert in the media and communications space, and goes above and beyond to deliver on a project. Her strategic thinking, creativity and superior wordsmithing have been invaluable for our media campaigns, corporate partnership activities, thought leadership content and more... and her calm, positive approach is always appreciated.”

    — Rhys Kelly, Head of Communications, The Smith Family

  • “Working with Jacqui has been a real pleasure. Her contribution to our mental health app development project has exceeded all our expectations and we are so very grateful. In particular, her thoughtfulness in considering the product flow, keeping users’ needs in mind and crafting copy that was shown to resonate with young people has undoubtedly enhanced the quality of the product. I hope we get to work with her again!”

    — Dr Sophie Li, Senior Clinical Research Manager, Black Dog Institute

She is an excellent relationship builder, expert at carefully managing a range of stakeholder expectations, and has a finely tuned sense of what makes news. Jacqui also contributes creative and original ideas to all projects she takes on, and has valuable expertise in the thought leadership and advocacy space. In addition, Jacqui is a strong speech writer and editor, and crucially, always reliable. In short, Jacqui excels in all the areas needed to make her an outstanding communications specialist and I would thoroughly recommend her to prospective clients.”

  • "Jacqui has been working with Gazebo Books since October 2020 and instrumental to our growth. I have relied on Jacqui to guide us through the development of our first marketing strategy, as well as the execution of some of its key areas, including our branding and market positioning. Through targeted and effective communications initiatives, Jacqui has helped us reach new segments of mainstream media to promote our books and build relationship with writers’ festivals and community organisations. Jacqui’s insights in the mechanics of social media have been invaluable in building and communicating with our online community of readers."
