Stockland

“Step Communication’s response to a concept design tender to produce a new benchmark document in retail fitout guidelines demonstrated exceptional creativity and fresh approach. The substantial time researching our in-house retail fitout processes ensured a comprehensive understanding of our requirements. The working collaboration was flexible and stimulating, constantly challenging our established processes to ensure the best outcome.

The resultant guideline document demonstrates clarity of thought and design, not just a visually interesting document but one with substance and meaning. Our collaboration with Step was successful because it produced a fundamentally practical document executed with strong visual flair and style.”

Hawkesbury Nepean Catchment Management Authority

“Step Communication brought a depth of expertise and analysis to our research project with rural and peri-urban communities in the catchment. The team conducted a series of high-quality focus groups, perception interviews and surveys with our key target audiences. The enthusiasm and charm that Step brought to this phase of the project was a major asset in extracting honest and direct feedback.

The results and recommendations, provided in a detailed and challenging report, formed the basis for a significantly revised Communications Plan and highly targeted communications approach for the Hawkesbury Nepean CMA.”

AgriRisk Services

“Step Communication has assisted us in defining our corporate identity, developing practical, product-based marketing plans as well as developing a number of corporate communication tools and a website, based around a central creative concept. We now have a set of standard messages and marketing products that have proved very effective at positioning our business as a leading provider of agricultural insurance. Step’s advice was based on a strong sense of agricultural markets and was practical, applicable and communicated well to all staff. This has combined to create a far more strategic approach to our marketing efforts.”

Nature Conservation Trust of NSW

“As a small, under-resourced not-for-profit organisation, we were pleased that Step Communication helped us put together a comprehensive communications plan that took into account our limited resources and planned for not only the next 12 months but also the coming years. By running workshops with staff and Board members, and speaking with other stakeholders, Step managed to incorporate many viewpoints into a single, achievable, strategy which will take us forward and help with our branding, messaging and ongoing reputation.”

“I’ve been associated with Step Communication and the Australian Cotton Industry Awards for the last three years. During that time I have found Step Communication to be completely professional in their approach and they have delivered each event with the highest levels of quality, creativity and attention to detail.

“I am writing to thank you for your time, presentation and involvement in the 2007 Australian Future Cotton Leaders Program in Surfers Paradise last week.

The feedback from your presentation and involvement was extremely positive. Many participants rated your session as the greatest value for the week. The link between the perceptions research, current and future communication focus of Cotton Australia and the call for proactive support form the future cotton leaders was very well facilitated, and your session was a great way for us to end a terrific few days.”
