Hi Andy, Just wanted to say a big thank you for the copy you wrote for our research report email (and your advice on list selection).

We’re really pleased with the results, which are ahead of expectations - our investment in your services more than paid for itself.

I wanted to pass along a thank you for your work on the November 10th conference.  I am always in awe of creative folks that can take our words and create the most incredibly readable and appealing documents.  Once we come to a decision on the Observatory for the UK, I will be counting on your talents to customize and beautify our marketing pieces.

Andy, this reads like a dream! Thanks so much for your work.

Joanna Johnson

I just received two boxes of the latest issue of the Out of the BLU newsletter. It looks absolutely brilliant!

The design, layout and print look really sharp, and the copy is great, (particularly the headlines, which are masterful).

Andrew Dec
BLU Events Team

We have had further very favourable response to our Tattoo mailer today. With your excellent copy writing we have generated the best ever response to any internal DM campaign that we have run .

Terry Turner
Managing Director
Priority Newstrade, Mailing & Digital 

Many thanks for the work you put into our Group Capabilites project. The copy itself was exactly what we were looking for: clear, concise, high-impact. On top of that, you added a huge amount of value by helping us shape the ideas behind the concept, so that we ended up with a compelling story, not just a bunch of random facts. Working with you was great fun and highly productive. I hope we can do it again soon.

David Laird
Group Commercial Director
The Economist Group

Hi Andy,  You'll be glad to know that both the Personal Computer World and Computeractive new letters that you've produced for me have significantly outperformed my control pack. Therefore I'd like to use your copy & designs for the next few mailings to the end of the year.

Harriet Cumming
Subscriptions Controller
VNU Business Publications

Thank you for putting so much effort and enthusiasm into this project - this really shines through in your copy! We all feel very confident that you have captured the essence of Racing Pulses, what we offer, our differentiators and the benefits of membership.

Caroline Styles
Managing Director
Racing Pulses

I should like to give you all my personal heartfelt thanks for all the help, support and encouragement that you have unstintingly given me in helping to deliver the Leadership Forum on Tuesday.  Life has certainly been made easier since you guys joined the team.  The preparation that went into the literature, displays and powerpoints was excellent and I think has done much to build confidence in BLU with both the team and with many of the delegates at Tuesday's event.

Sara Stead
Head of Communications
BLU

We appreciated this work and didn't really change anything before broadcasting. We also used the 'Billion Dollar Baby' headline as the subject line in an email which got the best opening rate of an email for this particular campaign. So many thanks for this - I look forward to working with you again soon.

Jason Coles
Marketing Manager
Euromoney Seminars

I have worked with Sunfish on a number of occasions. They are always very professional whilst also being highly personable. When our partner charity, Brainwave, needed some help with their copy recently, Sunfish was the obvious choice. The results were delivered quickly and efficiently and we were all delighted with the outcomes.

Maggy Ledochowski
Partner Charity Group
London Stock Exchange

Your copy for our legal reference books was spot on. You showed an uncanny ability to uncover the true benefits of the books and came up with creative ideas to put them across – not easy when selling to lawyers!

Penny Faldon
Marketing Coordination and Procurement Manager
Sweet & Maxwell Group

I wanted to say thank you for your work on this. I am very pleased with the end result, and copy and design mesh together to produce a piece which I've had very positive feedback on internally and at the Insight 04 show which we took it to last week.

Julia Kemp
Commercial Manager
warc.com

With your help, we doubled our response rates and halved our project management time.

Sam Carradine
Marketing Manager
NTC

I am thrilled to say that we are extremely happy with the results and everyone is chasing me now to get the invigorated copy out the door! Many thanks for your insight and enthusiasm throughout the process - I do hope that we will be able to work together again in the near future.

Joanna Goodman
Direct Marketing Executive
World Advertising Research Centre

This is just what we've been waiting for! Thanks for all your hard work. You have struck a nice balance between exploration of the subject, account of the project and highlighting of the role and value of BSI's services - excellent - this is the stuff that good marketing is made of!

Paul McNeillis
Commercial Manager
British Standards Institution

Thanks for running such an enjoyable writing workshop for our team in New York.

It’s clear that you know your subject back to front, but what sets you apart is your deep understanding of communication in combination with language, and how to write for the audience. Your responsiveness to clients and effectiveness in a one-to-one as well as a group context are excellent. You are also very creative and make a potentially boring subject fun!

As you know, good writing is a core brand value for The Economist Group. With your help our people are able to demonstrate it every day in their work.

Sally Bibb
Director Group Sales Development
The Economist Group

I would like to thank you for your excellent workshop at the RIBA Manufacturers Network yesterday. I not only found it informative, but well delivered.

Rachel Daymond-Harris
Primary Presentations Ltd

Thank you for such an excellent session on Tuesday morning.  All the team have said how valuable, practical and interesting it was. Really worthwhile.

Carola York
Marketing Director
TSL Education Ltd

Just to say ... I love my new lift letter and copywriting for the leaflet ... and to say thank you for all the great copywriting you have done for us over the past couple of months.

Jennifer Jenkins
Managing Director
Status Meetings

Sunfish have created media brochures for us across our key titles. They are clear, attractive and uncluttered. The copy and design work together effectively, communicating our key sales messages to advertisers.

John Ladbrook,
Advertisement and Exhibitions Director,
TSL Education Ltd

Having you as part of the team has enabled us to maintain a consistent voice across our marketing communications, and to ensure that the copywriting and design accurately reflect our products and brand values.

Kirsten Hannay,
Marketing Manager,
Economist Intelligence Unit

Thanks for your work on the press releases for the environmental and clothing sizes standards. We've had great media coverage and I'm sure that's down to your ability to pull out human-interest stories from what might have been seen as fairly dry technical issues.

Amanda Doody,
Marketing Manager,
BSI

I am attaching a PDF of the Marketing Roundtable brochure that you worked on. I absolutely love this piece. I think it utilises a perfect amount of copy for each section, and copy that is right on the ball as well.

Inna Getselis
Marketing Executive, Americas
Economist Conferences

Andy is very efficient, always delivers on time and ensures our objectives are understood. I love the way his writing flows and is always clear and concise. His fresh approach and new angle to copywriting is also refreshing. It's a pleasure to work with Andy and I look forward to working with him again.

Hilda Haghighi,
Marketing Manager,
Status Meetings

Thanks again for all your help, great suggestions and honest opinions - you make a great devil's advocate!

Estelle Jarman,
Managing Director,
Bright Tiger

I am delighted with the copy you have produced. It is refreshing to work with someone who can take a brief and "get it right" first time. The campaign has already prompted a 5% response from the first mailing: as a result, sales are ahead of budget.

Jeremy Snelling,
Director Reports Operations,
PJB Publications

Andy Maslen provides the EIU with the right combination of creative insight and objective appraisal. He gives us excellent feedback on what we could do better whilst delivering copy that always talks directly to customers'
needs.

Nigel Ludlow

I have always been really impressed with the quality of your copy - and the speed of your service.

Katrin Klausecker,
Marketing Director,

Thank you for your work on the two Personal Computer World mailshots. I appreciated the emphasis you placed on the benefits of subscribing. As a result, we had an excellent response, particularly from lapsed subscribers. We look forward to working with you in the future.

Juliet Parker,
Publisher,
VNU Business Publications

It was a welcome break to work with someone who really understands the product and the market. We were impressed with your ability to write interesting and imaginative copy. You achieved, in your letters, the difficult balance between being authoritative and being personal.
Thanks for prioritising this project. You have captured the exact tone and feel I wanted to create with these pieces: excellent.

Debbie Williamson,
Product Manager,
Bowker Saur

I want to thank you for an excellent business writing course, held recently in London and Vienna. Colleagues in both locations found it of enormous value. In particular, there was a clear focus on practical tools and techniques to improve writing; and the tailored approach, combined with your ability to convey your enthusiasm for writing, resulted in a very positive and effective outcome.
Developing our personnel so that they can continue to build our business and enhance our brand is a vitally important objective for us and this was certainly achieved with the business writing course. I will certainly commend this course to other senior colleagues within The Economist Group.

Jeremy Kourdi,
Senior Vice President & Director of Conferences,
Economist Conferences

Now that the Country Reports mailing has dropped I thought I would drop you a quick line to say thank you for all your work on this key mailing pack. As usual, your copy balanced the demands of conveying a complex product proposition clearly and succinctly, with the need to communicate our overall brand values.
The design presents a great deal of textual and visual information in an attractive and logical manner and altogether, we think the pack is a great success. Early results are bearing this out.

Carola York,
Marketing Director,
Economist Intelligence Unit

Just to say thanks for doing such a great job on the newsletter relaunch copy - it's just what was needed.

Pam Foster,

The quality of service provided by Sunfish has been excellent and the standard first class. Thanks to your input we have significantly increased responses to our direct marketing campaigns and have successfully launched a new title.

Andrew Dec,

Dear Andy, just read the copy - it's great.

Milan Taylor,
Publisher,
Pira International

Thank you for your recent marketing health check on our business which I have circulated amongst my co-directors and key members of staff. You assessed very accurately the strengths and weaknesses in our marketing department. As a result we are implementing your recommendations as a matter of priority and I feel sure we will see great improvements in the coming months.

Martin Woodhead,
Managing Director,
Woodhead Publishing

Thank you for your feasibility study for the CD-ROM. Your report was extremely thorough and gave us the information we needed. Although not in the original brief, the additional work you did profiling other CD-ROMs on the market was a valuable extra element in the project.

Milan Taylor,
Publisher,
Pira International

Thank you for coming in to conduct the marketing audit and for your subsequent report, which was extremely thorough and well-written. Your conclusions have been very valuable in helping us to re-evaluate our marketing strategy and practice. We are already seeing positive results from some of the changes we have implemented. We look forward to working with you again in the future.

Judith Chegwidden,
Marketing Director,
Roskill Information Services

Thank you for your work on the newsletter marketing strategy project. The competitor intelligence element was particularly useful, as was your analysis of the financials. We now have a good idea of where we’re going and your input has been very helpful in that process.

Jill Cousins,
Marketing Director,
Learned Information Europe

I'm writing to thank you for your ongoing marketing work for Euromonitor. Your recent audit was excellent. It gave us an objective assessment and a discussion document for future planning.

Sunfish has become an essential ingredient in the marketing effort here at IFS and we look forward to working with you in planning our strategy and tactics for the forthcoming year’s campaigns.

Andrew Dec,

The quality of your ideas, both for copy and design, has been consistently high since we started working together, but it is the results we have obtained from promotions you have created that have been the most impressive. As you know, your Christmas house ad generated our highest-ever response.
