Tanya Jepson, Marketing & Comms, Schaeffler Australia Pty Ltd
Schaeffler Australia has been working with Make It Happen for the past year. I personally had very high expectations after having worked extensively with agencies in London and other overseas markets.
Following several introductory interviews with a selection of agencies – all of which were of a high calibre – Make It Happen set themselves apart with their creative yet grounded approach to our requirements. Our business lends itself to a more conservative approach and it was important that we found a partner who understood our business framework and values – Make It Happen just gets it!
I have had the pleasure of working closely with MIH on several projects since our first meeting – I find the success lies in MIHs’ ability to draw on their extensive knowledge and experience whilst being committed to understanding our objectives – not only delivering in line with requirements but adding creativity, value and expertise to the solution.
MIH have a customer-driven focus and are dedicated and committed to the overall success of the project – even when we have requested very tight deadlines! Attentive and personable in every respect – I look forward to a continued partnership with MIH.
Tim Cavill, Managing Director – Australasia, Orange Business Services
When we looked at the challenges we faced with our ambitious growth goals in ANZ – we knew that we had to try new things. With our regional marketing team providing marketing communications support we took the bold step of outsourcing our local marketing activities to Make It Happen.
They handle the entire marketing function for Orange Business Services ANZ; we have seen results that go way beyond our expectations.
With on-demand access to Make It Happen’s wide range of skills we are achieving things that were never before possible for us locally. Gail Hopkins, Managing Director of Make It Happen, is a fully-fledged member of our leadership team, providing a vital link between our marketplace and our sales people. She provides strategy, guidance and direction that bring real results.
Focusing single-mindedly on demand generation gives Gail and her team the cut-through Orange needs in a highly competitive market. Every activity is designed to achieve a result and targets are regularly exceeded. Nothing is done without purpose and thought. This is how great businesses are built.
Orange believes that together we can do more. In the case of Make It Happen, make that much, much more. I recommend them unreservedly.
Ian Thomas, Marketing Manager, Tardis Services
Tardis Services wasn’t always a marketing-focussed organisation, but our first engagements with Make It Happen, back in 2005, were so successful and generated so many leads that we were converted.
Tardis Services wasn’t always a marketing-focussed organisation, but our first engagements with Make It Happen, back in 2005, were so successful and generated so many leads that we were converted.
Since then Make It Happen has taken on the role of our virtual marketing department – where we have the ability to choose our marketing agency, we choose Make It Happen. External forces sometimes require us to work with other marketing partners; we always come back to Make It Happen.
They don’t just provide marketing services; their strategy and guidance around all matters marketing have been invaluable in building pipeline for us as a sales-driven organisation. They understand us, they understand our market and they understand that we come to them whenever we need their services – they never force themselves or their ideas onto us.
As a result of working with Make It Happen, we now have a structured communications process with our customers and prospects, we have outstanding material to work with and we know that Make It Happen will nurture our contacts who are not yet ready to buy so that we can focus our sales efforts where they bring us the best returns.
