Sarah McVerry is a thoughtful, planned and highly skilled operator in the fields of communication, PR, media and social media - particularly for rural NZ. Our experience with Sarah has been as a contractor and then key staff member from 2006 through to the end of 2015. She will remain our service provider (as a contractor) because she understands her client (i.e. MyFarm), she is good at putting herself in the customers shoes (e.g. the farmer or investor) and she delivers on the task. Moreover Sarah is "a good sort" and I can thoroughly recommend her as someone that will do her best in every situation.
Sarah has assisted in a complete review of Nga Tawa's marketing strategy which has seen a structured marketing plan put in place to help us develop and grow. Our new direction has resulted in the use of different forms of media to connect with existing and potential parents. Sarah has driven more targeted and efficient ways of communicating through the introduction of weekly mailchimp newsletters, a new Nga Tawa school app, a revamped website and Nga Tawa now have a social media presence which was non-existent previously and is proving extremely beneficial. Sarah's candid approach is incredibly refreshing and we are excited to see what the future holds with her involvement.
Palmerston North City Council engaged the services of Sarah to assist with our profile within the Rubbish and Recycling Activity, with a particular emphasis on illegal dumping. Sarah was wonderful to work with and presented a wonderful concept - which we loved and ran with. Sarah was very professional, explained her concept and offered a variety of media. I would highly recommend Sarah.
We sought Sarah's services to help us set a marketing strategy and revamp our company website. We've had positive feedback on the changes implemented and we are incredibly pleased with the direction Kelso is headed in with Sarah in our corner. We are a rural business and Sarah gets what we do which makes working with her most enjoyable.
Sarah's contribution to Huntley School has been immense. She came on board to re-write our marketing strategy and has delivered structure and direction. As a result of Sarah's input, Huntley School utilizes more targeted marketing techniques and we now have a streamlined brand image. Sarah has driven PR opportunities, created a Huntley School social media presence, delivered a new website as well as a revamped School Prospectus. Sarah is decisive, direct and results driven. In our first year working with Sarah we have had 20 new enrolments and I have no doubt she will continue to make a measurable impact.
I have worked with Sarah to create promotional videos for MyFarm and Huntley School. She is also my first point of call for script editing. I find Sarah's journalistic experience invaluable in distilling information, ranging from interview material to useable sound bites. We collaborate well together - Sarah brings concepts and storylines to the table that I then bring to life.
