TESTIMONIALS

OUR CLIENTS REGULARLY EXPRESS THEIR GRATITUDE FOR THE ATTENTION WE GIVE TO MAXIMISING THEIR BRAND AND THEIR RESULTS. WE MAKE OUR CLIENTS LOOK GOOD BECAUSE WE CARE. OUR EXPERIENCE REALLY DOES PAY!

When launching our new brand, MEDIASMITH were able to tailor a package that suited our budget and audience. They not only listened to our ideas and goals for the campaign, but they were also driven and inspired by our charity’s key messages. MEDIASMITH looked at how we could maximise our dollar and reach through their extensive contacts.

Anna Fitzgerald
Communications Manager
BREAST CANCER TRIALS

We have enjoyed a great relationship with MEDIASMITH, who have supported us across a number of key ATL campaigns. They have delivered us highly cost effective media across print and TV to drive greater consumer awareness across our product categories and new product launches. MEDIASMITH has delivered outstanding media value by negotiating the best media rates to optimize our marketing budget. They are a great partner to our business and we have enjoyed working with them as they deliver on our objectives and offer great ROI

Filiz Bensen
Marketing Director
KITCHENAID

MEDIASMITH wanted to understand what we really do, what our aspirations are and they wanted to be part of the journey to achieve them. We enjoy much better value for our advertising dollar, a stronger media presence and ultimately better business results. This is certainly a relationship in which we feel our interests are prioritised.

Damian Hackett
Executive Director, Sydney
DEUTSCHER & HACKETT

We engaged MEDIASMITH to plan a campaign targeting those transitioning to retirement and capable of investing $1m plus. MEDIASMITH worked with us to understand our brand, target market and campaign objectives and developed an integrated campaign encompassing national press, regional business press, digital display and outdoor. MEDIASMITH researched the media consumption habits of our clients and targets and suggested innovative solutions which are not traditional media for financial services. The campaign led to a 15% increase in leads from wholesale (non-retail) investors – exactly the people we were targeting. MEDIASMITH is a trusted partner and go out of their way to understand the FIIG business and our target market and our need for cost effective media solutions.

As Executive Vice President Global Sales & Marketing, I have been working with MEDIASMITH for over 10 years now, formerly with Orient-Express (known today as Belmond) and today in my current role with The Lux Collective based in Singapore. The partnership is one of total trust and reliability since MEDIASMITH supports not only our Strategic Media plans but also helps us by filtering the hundreds of opportunities that come our way from around the world to recommend the best deals available in market. Thank you, MEDIASMITH for making my job so much easier! I would recommend their services any day to anyone.

When I first began working with the MEDIASMITH team, it became clear very quickly, that they passionately champion the cause of their clients. Over the many years since that time, they have consistently exceeded expectations and gone above and beyond to deliver additional value. I have particularly appreciated their ability to deliver genuinely creative solutions that other agencies have not thought of. The MEDIASMITH team have always been the efficient and reliable provider you need in an agency however it’s their thoughtful contributions and strong relationships skills which makes the whole experience fulfilling. I highly recommend MEDIASMITH as a media partner.

Anthony Smith
Director of Marketing
UNIVERSITY OF NEW ENGLAND

MEDIASMITH have been a pleasure to work with. Their fast yet reliable services always deliver top value and are a testament to the team’s capabilities. We have worked with MEDIASMITH for many years and always look to them to provide efficient solutions as a strong partner who have taken the time to understand us as a company. The media-buying capabilities for us as a small-ish company have been nothing short of outstanding!

I worked with MEDIASMITH for over 4 years in my role as Director of Marketing and Planning, at Charles Darwin University. The MEDIASMITH team felt like an extension of my own and were responsive, enthusiastic and proactive despite being located many miles away. They took the time to really understand our strategic needs, which enabled them to develop tailor-made solutions to our specific challenges rather than simply suggest generic, off-the-shelf activities. The MEDIASMITH team often went the extra mile, for example by providing super- fast turnarounds, or proactively producing strategic insights, or simply through their regular visits to Darwin to ensure they really understood our business. Our multi-channel media campaigns were a major part of the University’s successful brand strategy and MEDIASMITH helped to ensure that we received real value for money and clear return on our significant investment. MEDIASMITH were a pleasure to work with and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

John Cavani
Director - Office of Marketing
CHARLES DARWIN UNIVERSITY

MEDIASMITH is a true boutique agency comprising of passionate media professionals. With a dedicated team and round-the-clock advice, we often forget that we aren’t their only account and I am sure this is felt by all of their clients – big and small. Their collaborative approach, impressive buying power, and media relationships round out this agency’s appeal.
