We worked with Laura to streamline Azkua’s marketing processes and define our customer journey. We now have a well functioning marketing automation system that ensures all relevant data goes through one channel. She also helped us identify our client persona and designed our website wireframes, so we can ensure that all our communications address the client base we want to reach. Laura brings a wealth of knowledge with her and her maximising nature will make sure you deliver on the deadlines agreed at the outset.

Laura is one in a million. I have never encountered a person with her unique mix of high-level strategic thinking and brilliantly detail-oriented executive skills. Laura is creative, determined and enthusiastic as well as a great sparring partner whose solid and thoughtful advice is to be taken seriously. She can navigate complex situations and deliver on a project against all odds. I always trusted her to pick up and enrich the brief on the fly and make things happen. Usually exceeding expectations, she was ahead of the curve in bringing innovation when the organization most required it. During her time at Akvo, Laura improved our marketing efforts enormously. Thanks to her, we’ve been able to roll out consistent marketing campaigns and generate qualified leads like never before. She used her creativity, intelligence, abundance of energy and entrepreneurial drive to make a marketing strategy that worked, brought results and hit the bottom line.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Laura to set up our new CRM and email marketing system. Laura is a true expert in her field and easily transported us out of the ”dark ages” to a place where we can now easily measure our client engagement, create tailor-made automations for specific needs, and welcome new joiners to our tribe. Laura reviewed and tested several systems before recommending the one that would suit our needs, budget and future aspirations the very best. She also helped us clarify and sequence our customer journey, generate plenty of ideas for our content strategy, and from there develop the wireframes for our website. Professional, detailed, action oriented and quickly responding to our questions and needs Laura is a true asset.

I had the pleasure of working with Laura on a variety of projects over a 7 month period. From a marketing perspective, Laura had the Midas touch and excelled in everything she worked on, delivering exceptional quality of work, on time and in budget. But what really sets Laura apart is her professionalism, her can-do attitude, her passion for what she does, and above all, her work ethic. I have no hesitation in recommending Laura to consult at strategic and operational level for marketing projects.

Laura guided a group of Indigenous women throughout the Cause Canvas model, and I am honoured to have been included in this opportunity. Her guidance was very loving, encouraging, supportive and helpful. Her ability to adapt and make requested changes to fit the learning needs of the group was excellent. Her openness to receive feedback and guidance from participants was inspiring to see. The Cause Canvas model itself centers on the higher goal, and she always reminded us to connect back to the higher goal to tie everything together, as it’s all interconnected. I look forward to building off of this solid foundation and continue being a part of greater change for future generations. Ekosani Laura for your guidance and support.

Laura comes highly recommended at both a strategic and operational level and can be counted on to get a project done timely and exceeding expectations. On top of everything, she is an absolute delight to work with, positive and efficient – she isn’t afraid to delve into projects, ask questions and push her clients to be better and achieve more. I look forward to working with her again!

When I heard about the Cause Canvas workshop, I said yes immediately because I was shifting my business model to something new, and I needed to get clear on my model and positioning in the market. Doing the work together on the creative platform used for the canvas [Miro], it felt a little daunting at first but I quickly fell in love with using it to brainstorm and put down my ideas, research and resources to help my business. I think what I enjoyed the most was the way the platform was structured, which put me into more of a creative zone, with a big picture view that could be zoomed right down to the little details. I learn best visually and hands-on, and this workshop gave me both. I’ve gotten more clear not only on my messaging but on the whole structure of my business, who needs to be involved and how, and the gaps that need to be addressed.

Thank you for the great coverage of our event (EIT Awards Ceremony 2013) on our social media channels. We have been getting some really good feedback – everyone was really impressed and I thought you’d like to know that our keynote speaker, Naveen Jain, mentioned this to us specifically when we met him after the event!
