A selection of recent testimonials for my work. All of my clients run great businesses and I thoroughly recommend you contact them if you need their services.

“Being very cynical about the positive contribution any marketing company could provide I was greatly impressed with the professional approach adopted by Rob Burns both when cold calling me and at our first meeting. It was evident he both listened and understood the objectives, aims and ethos of the business and was keen to learn about the business strategy.

In just a year he has been inspirational in portraying the business in its best light, enabling me to deal with clients and be far more proactive personally, unhindered by excessive administration.

The financial savings alone significantly outweigh the fees charged and for a small business the benefit of an objective ear has been of enormous benefit.”

“Rob Burns has undertaken a number of marketing and branding jobs for Taverner Partners over the last 18 months. He has a rare talent of having business acumen, creative flair as well as being a people’s person so that his work always compliments the goals and objectives of our business. He has made our business more professional, customer focused and ultimately more profitable.”

“Before we started working together, I was considering selling the business to do something else. Since we’ve put programs in place, my business has improved tremendously; footfall in the shop has increased and sales are up month on month. The summer months, which in retail are typically slow, have actually seen revenues as high as during the Christmas season.

I’m impressed with Rob’s unique approach – we’re using interesting and imaginative methods that fit the eclectic style of the shop. Rob is not only a creative thinker good at determining overall strategy, but has also adapted the strategies we use dynamically as time goes on to suit the changing needs and flow. My shop is not like any other that I’ve seen locally, yet we’ve been able to fit ideas and actions to the business so that it keeps on working as we grow.”

“We run a garden design and build company, working on private gardens. Each project is as unique the clients for whom we work. Their new garden is not only a very important personal space, reflecting their needs and aspirations, but may also involve considerable investment. Many of the standard marketing tools are not applicable to our kind of service and may, in fact be off-putting to prospective clients. Moreover, a heavy-handed approach would make us feel awkward.

Rob listened very carefully and asked searching questions which enabled him to understand the particular nature of our business. He not only suggested simple ways in which we could reach a wider prospective client base while at the same time making the services of a Garden Designer more accessible, he also made us think in an entirely different way about our business which was hugely liberating.”

“Rob Burns has a fresh, honest approach to problem solving and has suggested ways of tackling issues from a totally different direction for my business. Inspiring and positive, I would not hesitate to recommend Rob to other businesses.”
