AdVerb

Hi Justin

Good to be getting your 'stuff'. I am enjoying your writing.

Paul Dunn, Founder
Results Accountants' Systems

Dear Justin

As you may know, I'm not 'down under' . . . '-)

Nonetheless, I have to let you know how refreshing and insightful I ALWAYS find your AdVerb Bulletins.

It's not the easiest task to render broad concepts into 'bite-sized' bits of useful and understandable knowledge that can be applied to one's own situation with an ease that belies the effort needed to make it that way in the first place.

But you, good sir, do it . . . again and again and again.

And I, as one of many dee-lighted recipients of your wisdom, must express my appreciation for you and give my thanks to you.

May this coming year bring us more of your wisdom and may it bring you and yours the health, happiness and prosperity I wish for you.

Have a meaningful holiday my distant but connected colleague!

Bill Doerr, Director

Small Business Owner Advisory Association (USA)

Hi Justin,

Your words are indeed wisdom and I would suggest very true.

Thank you for sharing them, as I found them to be particularly relative to Biniris and it's desire to find a new platform to market from in 2000-2001 and beyond.

Seminars and events

Relationship-centric Marketing seminars

Firstly, it is so refreshing to hear a respected advertising genius offer more than 'keeping your name before the public.'

Justin provided concepts that challenged us because we were given permission to expect results.   In fact we now understand we must be able to measure results of advertising strategies.

Justin's presentation provided rules, concepts and challenges that will positively re-shape many of our members' businesses and save thousands of dollars in totally unproductive advertising practices.

Thanks for a first class presentation at the Melbourne Sofitel on Tuesday.

At best, we normally expect to walk away with one idea from a workshop or seminar. Your presentation was a rarity, in that it was entirely relevant and valuable, whilst being enjoyable!

Very refreshing and professional.

Sergio Alderuccio
Managing Director

Justin

Your passion for the subject matter was evident. The way in which you presented the information was clear, concise and most importantly directed to practical, everyday activities that business operators face in their particular businesses. I have included an overview of the feedback forms received from the seminar. The feedback shows:

Hi Rebecca and Justin

Apologies for the inexcusable delay in thanking you for the invitation to the Relationship-centric Breakfast Seminar in Sydney last Thursday morning.

It was such an enjoyable gathering -- we had some fascinating people sitting at our table and we were all enthralled by Justin's presentation. I'm sure we all left the room so much more motivated and determined to work on developing those customer relationships!

A most enjoyable way to start the day!

Many thanks again.

One-day Relationship-centric Marketing workshop

Congratulations Justin on an outstanding Workshop.

The presentation, venue and in particular, the content, were of the highest standard.

On behalf of both Angus and myself,  we found the  Workshop to be extremely informative and comprehensive,  in that it covered so many of the relevant issues we are dealing with on a day-to-day basis.

We both have taken from this Workshop, many application issues which will  be extremely beneficial as we move forward in the launch of our new project, FELIX.

The Workshop has sharpened our vision and reconfirmed our thinking towards the importance of the distinctive roles each person plays in the Sales and 

Marketing process within the organisation.

Thank you for including us in this Workshop.

Hi Justin

This is just a short email to thank you and the rest of the Ballistix team for a thoroughly enjoyable and worthwhile workshop on Monday.

I was very impressed with your method of presentation which managed to keep everybody alert and involved for a rather long day of training. I think that the "workshop" structure of the day, as opposed to a lecture, had a lot to do with this. I also think that the passion that you all obviously feel for the topic under discussion was also a factor (would you call this getting religion?!).

As a result of the workshop, I can see that there are a number of current processes at Softlink that I will need to change and new ones that will need to be implemented. One thing that I did notice was that you asked Benn and Hamish to give us some information about them, but we didn't get to hear about you. Is this because you assume that we already know everything about your role and background or was it an oversight?

Thanks again

Hi Justin

Thank you for a very informative, and positive workshop yesterday. There were many ideas which can definitely be implemented here at Softlink and I'm sure will be over the coming months.

I was particularly enthused by the layout of the day and how everyone was encouraged to discuss their business/ideas.

Please thank Hamish, Ben and Rebecca for their quality comments and presentations also.

Kind Regards

Consulting, technology and communications

They don't just write ads – although they do this very well.  JRMA's skill lies in helping its clients develop finely-tuned, long-term marketing strategies.

Gary Wrenn, Chairman
The Hudson Institute

We thought we just needed a 'unique selling proposition'…

But, in one fast-paced day, Justin Roff-Marsh helped us to deconstruct our strategy, examine our market dynamics, commit to an 'end game' for our industry, and arrive at a 'sustainable competitive advantage'.

With a good mix of facilitation and leadership  – and with ample doses of relevant marketing examples recalled on the fly from his encyclopaedic memory – Justin guided us through a process in one day that would otherwise have required a week of tough work.

As well as providing the clarity we need to move forward with conviction, this process ensured that all present (including a board member and account executives) 'bought in' to the resulting strategy

What a pain – this young upstart is smarter at this stuff than me.

Tell you what though – I think he just might be right!

I'll give him a go. Clever cookie – kicked us out of our current paradigm and left us breathless and excited.

Takes some talent to get a bunch of street-wise, old contractors to see a new strategic path – but he did!

Regard him now as a strategic partner in our business. The impact is profound and, we think, enduring.

Alan Daley, CEO
Civil Construction Corporation

Justin looked at our business, got to know us and helped us to crystallise our thoughts.

He has shown us creatively how to achieve what want in a very practical way.

We're delighted with the result and will be long-term business partners with JRMA.

Terry Taylor CEO
Southern Cross Investment Group

Justin Roff-Marsh and his team have astonishing ability.  Through brilliant insight, strategic positioning and advertising copy, they have doubled the size of my business in a year.  I cannot believe how lucky I am to have these marketing geniuses working for me.

Gavin Ross
Gavin Ross & Co, Portfolio Management

Justin is simply one of the most talented strategic and creative thinkers I've ever come across. His specialty and great passion is working with 'entrepreneurial start-ups' (his words), helping them to create and implement fast-growth marketing strategies.
