Testimonials

“I have worked with Dianne for the past two years, during which time she has been instrumental in assisting us to develop our marketing and business development expertise.  Dianne is technically superb and has a working style that makes her more like a colleague than a consultant. Dianne’s strategies are comprehensive, practical and realistic”.

“Davis & Associates undertook a major brand review for Choice…the review has been instrumental in driving our approach to brand management and measurement over the past few years…Dianne Davis and her team were exceptional at all stages of the review. In particular, Dianne’s leadership of the review, and her understanding of the strategic brand issues was critical to the success of this project…Too often in my experience, reports provided by consultants have a short shelf-life…the brand review for Choice conducted by Davis & Associates does not fall into this category. It has had a significant impact on the way in which Choice presents itself to the Australian community and it continues to inform thinking in Choice at all levels about our brand strategy and marketing”.

“In my earlier capacity as CEO of ParaQuad (Paraplegic and Quadriplegic Association of NSW) I worked closely with Dianne in undertaking a comprehensive brand audit and the subsequent roll out of the outcomes of that process.

Having firstly sensitively promoted the project to a Board that didn’t have a lot of marketing experience and knowledge, Dianne then undertook an extensive and respectful stakeholder consultation. Her role included successfully educating people about the purpose and benefits of a branding process. Her advice was clear, comprehensive and expert, which greatly assisted in the recommendations being adopted.

Dianne also provided on-going advice in the implementation of the branding project….she demonstrated skill and empathy in communicating with ParaQuad’s diverse stakeholder network.

Her expertise and advice were instrumental in ParaQuad moving to a renewed basis of long-term sustainability , increasing its turnover, and raising its profile in the wider community and with key agencies”.

“Dianne Davis has provided extremely high quality information and knowledge throughout our years of working together. Dianne's expertise, in particular, is consistently demonstrated in her down-to-earth, highly relevant but easy to understand manner. She can communicate to any audience, however difficult or senior. Her templates and procedures are extensive and well thought out….Dianne is my preferred consultant; she goes beyond the obvious and is a business partner not only for me but for the law firm I work for”.

“Davis & Associates was engaged by NCS International in 2007 to carry out a major review and realignment of our Marketing & Business Development function.  The output of this work was a comprehensive plan that provided a clear strategic framework and roadmap for directing marketing and business development activity and investment over the following 3 years.

Davis & Associates worked actively with our senior management team, while retaining the external perspective necessary to challenge the conventional view. They demonstrated a willingness to go beyond the original brief to ensure delivery of a final product that provided a strong platform for the company”.
