Testimonials

"We have been extremely impressed, not only with your ability to put together ads which capture the essence of the message we require, but also your ability to respond at very short notice when required." - Greg Webster, General Manager, Allied Work Force

"The Te Papa brand is a complex one, and you and your team have managed to capture all of the complexities, including our bi-cultural nature very well." - Vicki Connor, Manager, Communications. Te Papa

"Council was taking considerable landfill waste – at a cost, down off the ski-field, which much of the material could be recycled. After meetings with management on the mountain, we were frustrated by their belief that the cost of establishing managed recycle processes would be ineffective. The "don't be a tosse" Recycle campaign was developed and within months, the staff had requested that management allow provisions to be made to efficiently separate recycle material from waste." - Warren Furner

"On behalf of the HazMobile team I would like to express our thanks and appreciation for the wonderful work you have done for us in promoting the HazMobile throughout the Auckland region. The radio advertisement was a great success, as shown by the record numbers of customers who visited the HazMobile day in Birkenhead, and your professional approach to obtaining the maximum coverage at the best prices is very much appreciated. We also think that you have most definitely gone above and beyond the call of duty by coming up with all the marvelous ideas for the campaign, especially the 'Toxic Remover'. We have very much enjoyed working with you and your team, and look forward to more of the same in the future." - Patricia Blutner, Hazardous Waste Management, Resource Efficiency

"I would like to let you know just how effective we have found our recent radio advertising campaign! We have always placed specific job ads in the New Zealand Herald but wanted to get a better awareness advertising campaign targeted at a more appropriate audience.

We first began advertising on the radio with a standard spoken ad in July. The ad was aired in short "bursts" for a few days only each month. The first month we were very excited and had an acceptable response rate taking 3 or 4 calls a day from interested job applicants. In August the pattern repeated. You then put our little jingle together and we had a great response in September! We took 58 calls in the week we advertised! October was better - 70 calls over a week - GREAT! What is also interesting is that we now regularly get calls during the weeks when we are NOT on air - applicants phoning up saying that they have heard us on the radio!

Thanks, Anthony, it works well for us! Now we have the jingle and can vary the "Voice-Over" we will certainly look forward to using your agency next year!" - Barbara Joyce, Operations Manager

"A lot of customers and staff heard the ads on the radio - especially More FM. The schedule AudioFX committed to was very effective, attracting our key markets - and at great value.

The More FM instore promotion was incredibly successful. They could oven give us numbers of how many customers entered the store during the promotion period. It was professionally organised, without me having to make sure everything was OK.

The x4 30 second live-mobile-calls by Nicki were amazing - I had staff and friends of staff commenting on how great the sale was promoted. It was informative yet relaxed with a tone that reached everybody!

At the sale recap staff meeting, all management staff believed radio advertising was the most effective way of increasing awareness, and getting customers instore.

Although we are a new advertiser, the Chinese and Korean stations directly target our top customers, local Asians-at incredible prices! The radio campaign also reinforced Asian press advertising." - Maryanne Raukura, Advertising & Promotions Manager
