LIMELIGHT DIGITAL

“I have been using Connector since the beginning of my career with Limelight Digital and it has been an incredibly reliable tool for opening doors to new clients. I've lost count of how many meetings I have booked using Connector, and as a result I have seen my role grow within the company. Connector's sources seem to forever expand and the credible information provided helps 'break the ice' with companies we haven't contacted before.”

Jimmy Connoley, Digital Strategist, Limelight Digital

DAVIDSON BRANDING

“Connector is an essential business development tool at Davidson. We've tried many systems and programs over the years, however nothing beats the effectiveness of knowing what's happening inthe market place daily, and better still, knowing who to contact. Connector has created many conversations and opportunities and paid for itself with the first lead.”

Grant Davidson, Manging Director, Davidson Branding

STEAK

“I have been using Connector for over a year. As a “hunter” of new business in digital media, Connector alerts me to accounts going to pitch, changing agencies or launching media activity. Connector offers a ready-made database of all the key decision makers contact details of Australian companies in my target market, and is the fastest way to find the latest news on any company so when I make an approach for business, I already know their business. This is important to prospective clients. Connector also tells me about my competition so I can pitch strategically. In fact Connector has assisted us in securing accounts in excess of $1m in billings for our agency so far.”

Sandey MacFarlane, Business Development Manager, Steak

LEO BURNETT

“Connector is a highly valued service. It helps ensure that our pipeline is constantly full and that Leo Burnett is up to date with the latest intelligence on our prospects. Most importantly, with time being such a scarce commodity, it reduces prospect, client and competitor research time to a minimum. This time factor and improved productivity alone more than covers the cost for the service; the new business it helps generate is outstanding.”

Josh Grace, Chief Operating Officer, Leo Burnett

AUSTRALIA DAY COUNCIL OF NSW

“Connector has been an invaluable tool in my business development role and I highly recommend the service to anyone in the sponsorship arena. Having worked in sponsorship and events for 15 years, I wish I had Connector in previous roles due to the time it saves in finding relevant opportunities, as well as a reason to call and the right contact to speak with.”

Matthew White, Principal Project Officer, the Department of Premier & Cabinet

DENNIS RUTZOU PUBLIC RELATIONS

“Dennis Rutzou Public Relations was an early adopter of Connector and we have found it to be an excellent source of new business leads. It not only takes us in directions we would not have thought of without the prompt, but also provides a descriptive reason for making contact. It is interesting that many contacts we target are curious about the source of the information and get back to us to find out the online site where we found the information about them. I can’t be specific on how many new clients we have landed as a result of Connector because the process often take months or years, but I am sure it is several. Plus the fact, I wouldn’t know what to do with myself every day, if it wasn’t to chase up new business leads I have found on Connector.”

Dennis Rutzou, Dennis Rutzou Public Relations

BRISBANE LIONS

“The Lions count on Connector to provide us with the information we need to grow our business. In our fast paced environment, Connector saves our sales and sponsorship teams time prospecting for opportunities by providing the best person to speak to and a reason to call. We recommend Connector to any business that is looking to provide their commercial team a competitive advantage.”

Phil Rigby, General Manager of Corporate Services, Brisbane Lions

HULSBOSCH

“Connector is a vital part of my business development role at Hulsbosch. In the first 12 months of my subscription I managed to secure a number of new business appointments which resulted in some great client wins. Being able to find out the senior marketing decision makers at each prospect makes Connector an invaluable and highly recommended service.”

Jaid Hulsbosch, Director of New Business, Hulsbosch

DEMONSTRATION PLUS

“DemoPlus has been using Connector for 18 months and it has proved itself to be a most valuable investment. Connector has helped uncover solid new business opportunities for both prospects and our existing clients.

Allyson Helmore, Client Services Director, Demonstration Plus

SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS

“The Rabbitohs have been using Connector for a number of years now and in that time it has delivered a major sponsor (De’Longhi) as well as numerous corporate hospitality packages. Needless to say it has paid for itself several years over and continues to help us in sourcing new business opportunities.”

Luke Byrne, Corporate Partnerships Manager, South Sydney Rabbitohs
