What Media + our Partners are saying about us
We could probably talk all day about how great we are, but sometimes it’s nice to hear about it from the media and partners we’ve worked with to execute digital PR projects, event marketing and all manner of marketing communication solutions. And, luckily, they are more than pleased to talk to you about us as well!

“In our ten plus years in the entertainment industry we have never done a testimonial and quite frankly we’re not going to start now. We will say however that Klick is normally spelt with a C, they have a lovely website and we in no way guarantee that this company will make you attractive to the opposite sex…but they might – All of our love Merrick and Rosso”.

Lisa Mitchell, Recording Artist
“I began working closely with Florence Sandford when she became a full-time point of contact for me at my management company, Scorpio Music. She co-managed four other bands as well as myself, the thought of which still baffles me! The diversity between the people she spoke to on a daily basis was immense. From lighting technicians to politicians. What a skill to be able to relate so quickly to hundreds of people on first encounter and to get the best arrangement out of them without ever having to raise her voice. The patience and savvy professionalism of this woman never fails to astound me. When Flo moved on from Scorpio Music there was a giant pair of shoes to fill. Anyone who finds themselves enlightened with the pleasure of working with her is terribly lucky”.
Sue Wallace, Travel Editor and Secretary – Australian Society of Travel Writers
“Attention to detail, wonderful organisational skills and an attitude that nothing is ever too much trouble, makes Kim McKay a stand out in the PR world. Working with Kim over the years, I have been so impressed with the motivation and passion she brings to her field of expertise – while others have sat back and considered doing things, Kim has been on the phone orchestrating it”.
Marc Llewellyn, Travel Writer, President – Australian Society of Travel Writers
“Is Kim McKay among the best PRs in Australia? I would say she most certainly is. Not only did she represent Vibe, Medina and Travelodge hotels to members of the Australian Society of Travel Writers (ASTW) in a creative and effective manner, she also spent two years representing PR practitioners on the board of the Australian Society of Travel Writers. Her hard work and commitment was invaluable as we worked together to revolutionise our annual conference and Awards night, which included bringing in many major sponsors”.

Klick Communications have successfully promoted and launched a number of our titles in the marketplace, with each product launch enjoying a tailor made program to suit its demographic. If there is a single statement I could make about how the Klick team nurture and develop their campaigns it would be ‘above and beyond’. They always exceed my expectations and present a campaign with a surprising depth and scope. I look forward to an ongoing relationship with the guys at Klick, I thank them for their dedication and focus and I wish them every success in their ventures.
