What people are saying generally“Andrew is one of New Zealand's top social media gurus.

He is very knowledgeable about the social media landscape and is comfortable using technology to connect individuals and businesses with potential and current customers. Andrew is also an insightful business person, a great event organiser, a dedicated lecturer, and a genuinely good guy. I heartily recommend Andrew to anyone looking at venturing into, or enhancing their social media presence!” -- Francois Bondiguel (Co-founder, The Distiller and PocketSmith) "Not been very computer literate I was very curious to see how using this medium could benefit the organisation I work for. On attending Andrew's amazing no- nonsense workshop I left feeling confident enough to try my hand at opening a facebook page for my organisation, it took some time but following Andrew's guidelines and advice I did it. Andrew is a very knowledgeble, entertaining teacher who has a way of explaining things in a non confusing manner, he encourages interactions throughout his workshops which can lead to very entertaining and useful discussions! Onwards and upwards now to twittering and blogs!" -- Julie Gill (Formally Business Support and Communications Officer, Enterprise Clutha) "Andrew presented at our conference on the topic Social Media, at very short notice. His obvious knowledge and understanding of the topic, together with his passion came through his during his presentation, and in subsequent conversations. Feedback from attendees has been unanimously positive. I would have no hesitation recommending Andrew both as a conference presenter, or as a consultant in a company situation.” -- Bob King (General Manager, Emerson Brewing Co Ltd. and Branch Chair, Otago branch of the NZICA) "Thank you Andrew, you are a Social Media Guru! As the owner of the natural Health Care company ARTEMIS, it is important to me to connect with our customers directly so that we can support them personally on their quest for good health. Social media is the way to go but I felt a bit intimidated how to do it. Thank you very much for setting up our ARTEMIS Facebook page and Twitter and helping us so swiftly with any teething problems. The Social Media experience has been fantastic." -- Sandra Clair (Founder, Artemis) "Andrew made himself available at no charge to present to a group of young people I was training as online moderators for a non-profit youth development website. His presentation painted an informative and entertaining picture of the changing role of the internet in New Zealand and was a highlight of the training for young participants, providing them with an important context to being an online moderator." --Nathan Brown (Marketing and Communications Coordinator, University of Otago) |
