“An excellent awards entry. Marketing Minds have clearly demonstrated how marketing is at the heart of their success. Clear demonstration of a marketing strategy, set targets, defined target market and ability to identify and capitalise on changing market conditions.
A well-thought out entry submission. The company’s comprehensive business plan has allowed flexibility with fluctuating market demands and has allowed it to grow it’s revenue during difficult times such as COVID. I liked how the company works with consultants to fill the company’s skill gaps and how they have pivoted to working with ethnically diverse businesses. It is refreshing to see a company that invests heavily into professional development and upskilling of its staff.
We really encourage you to enter the awards in 2023 – fantastic business with exceptional potential.”
Judge’s Feedback, Excellence in Marketing, Westpac Business Awards 2022
My expectations have been far exceeded by the team at Marketing Minds. I had an initial meeting with the team they told me they would come back with a plan. The second meeting literally blew my mind! They had really heard where I was coming from, my issues and where I wanted to take my business. The plan they came up with was extremely detailed and comprehensive. They had gone right back to foundations and then created a workable and achievable marketing plan to take my business through a transitional phase to where I want to be. They had scaffolded in options for support where they could see I would need it and gave me options to complete strategies that I could achieve. I would highly recommend Marketing Minds if you want to take your business to the next level.
Sarah Sharp| Director at Hibiscus Coast Party Hire
I personally like how Anne look at the perspective of new business and find the loopholes. I only thought I have 8 sessions with her but it was 3. I didn’t realise the background work was calculated but it was worth it. The step by step action plan. all the basic background work on my ideas is very helpful for me to make constructive business plan.
I will highly recommend Anne and marketing mind to grow your business.
Anju Desai| Director at Bollywood Party
Their work was thorough, they were honest in providing the best steps forward to support my business . They were quick to identify issues and execute solutions or advise to help progress my business. Thanks Anne and Allie for your support.
Andrew Mackay| Director at Boost Coaching
“Anne, Lizzie and their dedicated marketing agency have been great to work with as part of our ‘Start Up” launch. They ingrained themselves in the concept and delivered a structured and well executed outcome. We look forward to future developments with the Marketing Minds team.”
Andrea Saunders I eTrade Procurement
“Marketing Minds understood exactly what my business required very quickly and provided incredibly detailed advice. I’ve had a number of meetings where I’ve walked away thinking, ‘great, now that consultant understands my business but what value have they actually brought to the table.’ I was super skeptical about working with another consultant but knew that I really needed some assistance with marketing, particularly, digital. Anne asked succinct questions in the first 5 minutes and nailed exactly what my business needed. The remainder of our time was spent on actual coaching specific to my business and my own personal strengths/weaknesses.
The follow-up task list that Anne provided immediately after our meeting has been extremely beneficial. I wasn’t expecting to receive this and it’s so helpful to see an actual checklist of action points rather than having to refer to my quickly scrawled notes. (Turns out I missed jotting down a few action points too!)
When I very honestly mentioned to Anne that I needed help in a couple specific areas around my digital marketing, she told me those were easy things to figure out on my own and sent me to incredible (and free) online resources. I had previously met with TWO consultants to help me with those specific areas who wanted to charge a bomb for consulting/coaching.
Have been so impressed with Marketing Minds & highly recommend them.”
Dani Holt-Lyman | Director at Skyebird Foods Ltd
“Marketing Minds is the first and only marketing company I have known since the inception of SCRATCHPAD Stonefields. Anne has supported and guided our business through the launch campaign. Anne and her team genuinely took interest to help our new business have a good start and set a plan for its rapid growth. I have learnt a lot of Business marketing ideas from Anne and she continues to support us through the COVID situation. Thank you Anne and the Marketing Minds Team!”
Deepa Patel | SCRATCHPAD NZ

Participants said they felt inspired by Anne’s presentation and delivery, I’m quite simply amazed by Anne’s marketing capability.

Terri Gasparich I Owner at TG Design
“We first engaged Marketing Minds around 10 months ago to review how we could grow our business. Since then, we have set out a marketing plan, redeveloped our website, reviewed our digital marketing as well as established an effective lead generation process for my sales team.
I am really impressed with Anne and her team with their attention to detail, efficiency and quality of the work. I am always informed and their recommendations are always clear which enables decision making to be easy.
I’m very happy with the results they have delivered for Aquamax, especially with the leads we’re getting now. Marketing Minds is now our go-to people for our marketing needs and I have no hesitation in recommending Marketing Minds marketing agency.”
Hamish Coop I CEO At Aquamax
“I engaged Marketing Minds to assist with a relaunch strategy and plan for Nibblish. A key focus for us was on content marketing and social media to both end users and distributors.
Marketing Minds knew their field – they understood my business requirements and were up to date with the current trends, showing and sharing knowledge on what’s going on right now and what needed being done. They were able to elaborate a marketing plan that could be translated into actionable results, set to deliver on the business goals.
Furthermore, Anne and her team were also quick to respond, while working with a tight timeline. The plan I got was thorough, very comprehensive and down to earth.”
Matthew Bennett I Founder of Nibblish
“I have worked with Anne as a marketing coach for about 8 months now. Every advice from her was informed with sound professionalism, and I know that I am working with someone that is a true expert in marketing. Working at a human level, her coaching is very honest, open and proactive. With her practical advice, she instills a sense of reality about what’s going on and how doing business really works. Her warmth and friendliness is underpinned by true sincerity and professionalism. It was clear that it matters to her that I do achieve what I have set out to do.
Anne could also adapt to what I needed and how I needed it. Be it Skype conferences, in the office meetings or cafe, her willingness to connect wherever needed was really helpful. Working with Anne, and Marketing Minds, has been instrumental in creating the energy and enthusiasm that I now have for the next stage of my business.”
Alex Smith I CEO At BrittendenSmith
“When I think of Anne, the first thing that comes to mind after the few months we’ve worked together is that she is a strategic thinker. I was impressed with her ability to draw out our company’s marketing needs as she really listens well. And because she does, she easily understands and articulates what our company wants to achieve. I also noticed that she has a very good knowledge of the marketing process. I’d say that it’s because of her extensive experience in this line of work. I look forward to our working together to be able to implement and execute the marketing strategy that she’s drawn up for our company.”
Miranda Bichmann I Director At B.ichmann A.ssociates NZ Ltd.
“I’ve worked with Marketing Minds for almost 10 months now and have found them to be a very professional and knowledgeable marketing agency. They initially helped us with our sales incentive rewards programme and since then Marketing Minds has become our marketers. The work that they have done includes a client survey, optimising website traffic and conversion, rationalising our marketing spend, new product/ range launches, regular e-newsletters and most recently rebuilding of our website. Anne and her team made a real difference to our business – for example the insights from the client survey gave us the confidence in our pricing structure and helped us form our business strategy. The review of our website resulted in us being able to successfully increase our website conversion by an average of 3.5% while reducing our ad spend by 10%. I enjoy our business relationship with Marketing Minds and I value their contribution to the growth of my company.”
Clive Ashworth | Managing Director At Aspect Blinds
“Anne has been very connected with my business, and really understands it. I am extremely satisfied.”
Vijesh Nangia | Director at Scratchpad
“Our Company, Trade Tools, was undergoing various complex strategic business changes which were to significantly impact revenue streams, customers and channels to our market. We engaged with Marketing Minds as an independent sounding board to help make sure our thinking was on the right track. They assisted in ensuring our approach was sound and helped us to figure out which was the best path forward. A key part of this was how we delivered our message to the customers and stakeholders at large with the least amount of disruption and highest conversion of the new business model.
I’ve found Anne to be responsive and a great listener who asked the right questions at the right time. She was thorough with her follow up and was able to out-think complications and simplify the whole ordeal. Presentation on the findings, strategy and direction was immaculate, easy to follow and well thought through. This has helped to cement our company’s thinking and build our confidence that the direction we are embarking on is the best solution possible.”
Simon Mccleay | CEO At Trade Tools
“Anne is a joy to work with, and her marketing expertise is invaluable. She’s full of exciting, creative ideas, and her problem-solving skills are second to none. Within our first couple of sessions, Anne had worked out what my key strengths were and, from then on, encouraged me to run campaigns which allowed me to make full use of those skills – in order to get the best possible results.
My experience with Marketing Minds has been so positive that I happily recommend them to any friend seeking marketing support. Keep up the great work, and thanks for everything!”
Charlotte Stein | Marketing Executive at Kohu Road Limited
“In the recruitment and people management industry I come across many marketers and Anne is certainly a marketer that stands out. She has a rare ability to bridge the gap between strategy and implementation which is key to SME businesses. Anne has worked on three of my companies where she has advised and managed the redeveloped of our brand. Once she was aligned to how we think and what we want, her thoughts are very insightful and this translates to high quality work She is very professional in her dealings and thorough in her execution. Anne also has excellent people skills, she listens and caters to specific needs in a contemporary and very efficient manner. Anne is a delightful person to deal with and I envision a long term relationship with her.”
Terry McCloy I Managing Director At Virtual Resources International
“I enjoyed working with Marketing Minds on my marketing growth strategy and I’ve found them to be a very rare breed. I’ve worked with a number of marketers in the past and none of them is of their calibre. They are very knowledgeable, organised and efficient. They also have the remarkable ability to listen, make sense of my muddled thoughts and put it succinctly and clearly back to me. Anne and her team make it easy for me to know what I need to focus on and how to go about it in order to get the end results I want. Their manner is relaxed yet direct and I feel comfortable around them.”

Karryn | Sauvarins Coloured Glass Studio
“Having gone through an exercise at my own company last year to find a new marketing agency, I became aware of the fact that there are hundreds of marketing companies in Auckland who all wish to segregate your marketing into parts and outsource much of the work to third parties which made me nervous and made trying to choose someone to partner with really hard work! When you meet Anne Casey and her team you quickly note that they are extremely knowledgeable in every single component of how to market a company. Their experience is really impressive. I believe they were born to market, they work intuitively and steadily and apply reality to every step and I have without hesitation, referring people to Marketing Minds team whenever I hear that someone’s looking for marketers who can add a ton of value to any type of business.”
Claire Dixon | Business Development Manager At Digital Island
“Marketing Minds made it very painless for me. It’s great how they offer a different perspective that I may not have considered. They consistently ask me the right questions to hone in on what is important and what is not in order to get to the right messages emphasised in my communication. I cannot think of anything that Anne and her team can improve on in my dealings with them.”
Neil | Director At Sapere Research Group
“I worked with Marketing Minds recently on developing a marketing strategy for my business, they are talented marketing professionals, well organised and really good at bringing clarity to what you are offering and how to market your services best. I am excited about the future now and much clearer on business direction and how to offer my services to potential clients.”

Anne and her team have the ability to ask the right questions and draw information out of me help me a lot with thinking through situations and my decision making.
The team’s enthusiasm is contagious and they have amazing attention to detail, do their research as well as great follow through. What they have done has lifted such a great burden for me and taken the stress away. Marketing Minds team makes it very easy for me and I couldn’t have done it without them!

Furthermore they are very helpful and provide a service and value that go beyond the call of duty.”
Otto | Insurance Adviser and Partner At Camelot Group
“I met Anne through our networking group and after meeting her I knew she was going to be able to help me with my business. With her past experience and the fact that she is a parent herself, she knew which angle I needed to come from for my potential clients. Anne is very creative in coming up with ideas and I loved her idea of having a “party lesson” in our classes and for the children to invite a friend along to share the experience. She is able to view situations from the point of view of the potential customer and identify opportunities to open up doors for my business. It is also great to have someone that I can easily talk to about my business and bounce ideas off. She listens well to what I have to say and gives me the confidence to pursue in the right direction.”
Maroussia Boyack | Managing Director At LCF Fun Languages – Central Auckland
“Anne and her team were helping us to develop our marketing strategy and how we can be above the rest. Because of their thorough research, they are able to guide our discussions on our customer profile and how to be better than the rest in the industry.

Wengheng | Business Owner At Pukeko Rental Managers
“Anne was recommended to me by a couple of business owners and I engaged her to help determine how I can accelerate the growth of my travel company. Anne very quickly understood what I wanted and articulated it in a very clear manner. She researched my clients and industry to provide me with a strategic direction that was not only on the mark but also easily executable tactics, costs and incorporated in to an achievable timeline. I found Anne to be able to grasp the travel industry quickly and her findings and recommendations has helped me have a clear direction where to take my company.
Anne is a real pleasure to work with. She is easy going, nothing is a problem and I highly recommend Anne.
I wish Anne every success in her business.”

“The LinkedIn workshop with Anne Casey of Marketing Minds was truly excellent. Anne is obviously the LinkedIn expert and power user. The workshop opened the door to the possibilities available with LinkedIn and gave us the tools on how to make the most of this networking opportunity.
I particularly valued the mix of background information combined with the workshop session where we went online and worked on our own profiles. Furthermore, as Marketing Minds is a registered service provider with NZ Trade & Enterprise, I was able to receive funding for customised training for my firm which is amazing! A big thank you to Anne Casey, Marketing Minds and NZTE.”
Darryl Sang | Registered Architect At Sang Architects
“I first completed some LinkedIn training with Anne and then returned for some more general marketing coaching. Anne has a lovely manner and was very good at asking the right questions to get me to consider business and marketing strategies that I had previously not seriously considered. She also also provided a lot of practical suggestiosn and her follow up was great. I highly recommend Ann to any small business owner who needs help with clarifying and setting business goals and developing marketing strategies.”
Catherine Syme | Manager at Fear-less Public Speaking
“As the director of my company, I had occasionally used LinkedIn and wasn’t sure if LinkedIn could really generate me leads. I had also asked various people I connected with on LinkedIn and majority of them either did not reply or said no.
So I was keen to learn and understand LinkedIn better and when I read Anne’s LinkedIn post, I immediately booked in for her LinkedIn For You and Your Business workshop.
At the workshop, I was able to attain a personal level of help and learn more about the etiquette of LinkedIn and answers to my query such as when and how to approach a contact for a face to face meeting.
I now have the confidence to make the most of LinkedIn’s many opportunities and I see this as the opportunity to be several steps ahead of my competitors.”
Philip Walsh | Director At All Round Security
“My knowledge of LinkedIn prior to Anne’s beginners course was limited to say the least. I was aware of the benefits of using Linkedin however had never found the time to train up and understand how LinkedIn worked. This was a great introductory session teaching me all the skills to getting the most out of my profile. The session was run at a good speed and I loved that it was a small group which meant I felt comfortable to ask questions at any opportunity. Plus, the food was absolutely amazing! Thanks Anne for the opportunity to attend.”

“I have recently completed some LinkedIn Training with Anne from Marketing Minds. She took the time to find out my business and gave me tips about my website and other aspects of my marketing strategy as well as the training that I was there for. The training itself was great. We covered a lot and she explained everything clearly, answering my questions along the way. The materials she provided will enable me to review the content as I try it out for myself. She has also followed up with LinkedIn on something that does not appear to be working on my LinkedIn adverstising page. Very thorough and informative!”
Catherine Syme I Fear-less
“Anthony Harper engaged Marketing Minds to help us with LinkedIn as an effective marketing, communications and BD tool. Anne was able to tailor the content to our firm’s specific requirements and produced a series of courses aimed at different levels within the firm.
I have been really impressed with how Anne has managed to galvanise our team. They are now writing more, commenting more and reaching out to their audience. Not only is there an element of friendly competition on the number of likes, comments and views but people are also reporting huge increases in traffic to their profile page.”
Lythan Chapman | Business Development and Marketing Manager |Anthony Harper

This course is a must for those really serious professional LinkedIn players who want to turn their time into cash.”
Mike Parkes | Managing Director At Mike Parkes and Associates
“I heartily recommend Anne as an expert on LinkedIn. LinkedIn on the surface is easy to understand, but truly understanding its power requires one to dive in, and to have an excellent teacher. I attended Anne’s LinkedIn training on “How to Maximise the Power of LinkedIn”. She covered a great deal in the half day session and through this fantastic course, I now feel more comfortable using LinkedIn as a business development tool and am aware of how much more it can do. I heartily recommend this course. It was excellent!!”

I think a good profile also makes your brand more professional and “clever”. What I found most useful were the general tips, experiences of Anne and her clients, the idea’s for selling and “how-to’s”.
My potential in utilising it has definitely improved and I would recommend it for others looking to do the same. Thanks again!”

Terry Munro | Pixel Café
“Images Unlimited Group has been in operation for almost eight years. It originated in Christchurch where growth had been steady; however we wanted to increase this growth rate. This led us into the competitive Auckland market.
A key foundation for our business was to ensure that we have excellent staff and are continuously surrounded by sound advice and knowledge. We engaged Marketing Minds upon a recommendation from our Auckland Business Development Manager and have been very impressed. Marketing Minds have helped me to understand the Auckland market much better, help us recognise opportunity openings, figure out our future direction as well as provide a clear marketing plan of attack.
This gives me the confidence and reassurance in the future of Images Unlimited and to know exactly how we can maximise our opportunities and reach our business goals. It is an honour to be able to write a recommendation for Marketing Minds and I have no hesitation in doing so.”
