Testimonials

  • “We engaged Ray in early 2023: our aim was to look at our current branding to decide if the time had come for a refresh or a rebrand. Ray took us on a journey, involving our Board, our team and our clients, who were all consulted and heard. The team contributed to the process by attending the workshops, suggesting names and deciding on colours. It was an incredible, collaborative process that meant that everyone was on board with the final outcome. We appreciated Ray’s ideas, insights and advice and I don’t believe we would have reached the unanimous agreement without his input.”

    Larissa Feeney, Founder & CEO, Kinore (formerly Accountant Online)

  • "I’ve known Ray for most of my career and have worked with him on many projects. I have always enjoyed and benefitted for my experiences of working with him. He is an absolute gem - highly intelligent, razor sharp and never afraid to challenge the thinking in service of better outcomes. I think Ray is really at his best when he has big gnarly problems to fix and has smart and ambitious clients who place their trust in him to deliver. And deliver, he will. He’s like a hot knife through butter!"
