Engaging with Emporia Marketing for our re-branding of our 4 stores made the entire process so manageable and successful. From the professional contacts Agatha shared with us to the extensive research she did to ensure we were on-trend and prepared was immensely time saving for us. We got so much more out of the time we spent with Emporia Marketing than we intended and expected and are continually working on projects with them still. Highly recommend Emporia Marketing, the personalised approach, their genuine care as though it’s their own business and the attention to detail is what really keeps us going back to them.

I met Agatha at a networking event and we clicked straight away. She was so approachable and I had no hesitation in using her services to create a Marketing Plan for my business.

It was the best thing for my business to get me thinking about strategies on how to grow my business, she was very professional and had answers for a lot of questions that I threw to her, so she really knew the industry.

Not only did I get a marketing plan, I also got a mentor and hopefully a friend.
