The Facebook training day was worth every cent and Philippa tailored her training for our individual businesses so with the critiquing of everyone’s...

I had the pleasure of interning at Cre8ive Marketing during my break between semesters at my university in the United States this July-August 2020!... My internship was fully remote, and even with the drastic time difference between New Zealand and the U.S., Philippa and the team made it easy for me to collaborate and contribute on important projects going on at the company. I learned so much from Philippa during the past 6 weeks, including some amazing new skills involving Google Analytics, AdWords, SEO, and Google My Business!

In my previous role as Director, Digital Marketing and Customer Experience at biotech company Pacific Edge, I engaged Philippa and her team to... initially audit our Google Adwords account. During this project, it become clear that Philippa’s extensive Google Ads knowledge and proactive working style would make her a valuable partner. She was able to grasp the complexity of operating in global markets and expertly implemented relevant Google Ads campaigns, set up conversion tracking and provided excellent in-depth monthly reporting. This allowed me to clearly demonstrate the ROI of our marketing spend.Our working relationship grew as I engaged the Cre8ive team on other digital marketing projects including an SEO audit, brochure design, presentation slides, social media graphics, signage, project managing video animations (including graphics and storyboard), blog creation and more. The team at Cre8ive always exceeded my expectations.read more
