Testimonials
If you need a contact for a reference to help assess my suitability for a specific project you have on the go, please let me know. Depending on the project, I may be able to provide a contact email address for a past client. In the meantime, here are a few testimonials relating to recent projects:
"Great copy. The tone is good; friendly, moves along nicely and reinforces the selling points throughout."
- Alan Lennon, Lennon Design
"Rob first started working with Serebra in April 2007 when we needed writing excellence for a new website we were developing. Since then, and because of the superb work from Rob, we continue to use his services on a wide variety of projects, including three new or updated company websites, new marketing literature, speeches, video scripts, press releases, the company's annual report and monthly customer newsletters. Rob effectively became part of our team, working closely with our internal designers and marketing people. It makes our efforts easier knowing we can send him writing projects - often with quite tight turnaround times - and they'll be in good hands."
- Ted Moorhouse, CEO, Serebra Learning Corporation
"This is just what I was looking for - thanks very much. Overall, what you've provided is perfect. Thank you for taking those few notes and expanding on them in such a digestible format for the newsletter! We'll be doing the newsletter on a quarterly basis, so hopefully I can give you more time, next time ;)"
- Carol Nejedly, Marketing Manager, Serebra Learning Corporation
"Rob worked with The Melting Pot to write the copy for the 3rd evolution of our website - which is now excellent from both our point of view, and the site's visitors. Rob was easy to work with, and delivered good quality work on time and with an eye for the details. He also increased our ranking on all search engine sites which has defiantly resulted in a greater number of enquiries."
- Claire Carpenter, The Melting Pot Edinburgh
"When I worked with Rob at the Internet Marketing Center before he went freelance, I was impressed with his writing talent and knowledge of online marketing. So when we found ourselves faced with a resource crunch while producing a 1000+ page multimedia course on Internet marketing, Rob was a natural choice to turn to for freelance help.
"Working under a tight deadline, he came through in impressive fashion, delivering a well-written series of chapters that explained complex marketing techniques in a clear, straightforward, engaging style.
"Rob is dependable, talented, insightful, and great to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him as a content provider, copywriter, or marketing strategist for any project."
- Curtis Foreman, Information Product Development Manager, IMC
“Rob took our highly technical message and explained it in simple, easy to understand language, under very short time constraints. Our new website is now a true reflection of our company's personality.”
- Ryan MacArthur, Director of Strategic Ops, Cogneto
"Rob is an excellent writer who always delivered top-quality work well on time. He also says 'blog' funny."
- Erin Whalen, Direct Marketing Manager, The Internet Marketing Center
"I have found Robin excellent to work with and have appreciated his reliability, the way he has tackled our projects and his ability to come up with fresh, workable ideas. As well as handling existing publications Robin has been involved in bringing in new business, including successfully launching a monthly 24-page magazine for a new client and an on-line publication for an existing client."
- Hazel Reid, Senior Publishing Manager, Insider Custom Publishing
"Everyone involved with the International Banking Summer School had a fantastic time, greatly enhanced by your being able to capture the spirit of the school in the daily newsletter."
- Tess Joyce, PR Manager, CIOBS
"Rob has been an integral part of the development of Just Ask Baby, and its wider brand identity and the feel of its communication with its members. The project covered liaising on the tone and feel of what Just Ask Baby should be to its consumers, as well as the physical writing of a huge amount of material that runs right through the Just Ask Baby website, as well as external press communications. We will continue to work with Rob, as we know he has a strong understanding of the type of communication we are looking for and will deliver high quality work on time."
- Mark Hamilton, CEO, JustAskBaby.com
"We're very happy with your writing. Thank you for such an amazing set of first drafts. We have never had so few changes to make! Thank you so much again for the great work."
- Holly Birch, Foundation Assistant, BC Women's Hospital Foundation
"The emails look great! I wanted to thank you for the great work in delivering the requested material."
- Rafael Alvarez, Marketing Specialist, Best Buy Canada
"Rob's brief was to freshen up our print ads. He certainly delivered and supplied a series of ideas which we not only successfully tested in BC Business Magazine, but also adapated for the Web."
- Kelly Corkin, Marketing Manager, CMC Markets
"We have used Rob for a number of Web and print projects that require a copywriting element and will continue to do so. We're completely comfortable letting Rob loose on our clients to get what he needs for the content, which helps us out a great deal, and he does a great job of identifying the right messages and capturing the tone our clients are after."
- Calum Crawford, Roxy Design
"It was great working with Rob. He is a fabulous writer who handled some of our toughest projects without blinking*, and always came through on a deadline."
- Liberty Craig, Marketing Manager, The Internet Marketing Center
*Important note: I would like to point out that I do actually blink, and in fact find not blinking a little creepy.
