Michael Campbell Foundation
Jackie Ellis at spice is astute, strategic and professional – she understands our brand and business and effectively communicates this to our stakeholders.
We were delighted by the level of quality media we achieved for the relaunch of the Michael Campbell Foundation. The exposure gave us the credibility and awareness we needed to take the Foundation to the next step.

spawn advertising
Spawn Advertising has worked with Jackie Ellis and spice communications for over 5 years. Jackie has worked along some of our key clients - PZ Cussons (Morning Fresh & Down to Earth), Instant Finance, Oceania Group, Fogdog Brands, and has been our preferred PR partner for new business pitches.
Jackie and her team work seamlessly with Spawn, and has built great business partnerships with our clients - her proactive approach and strategic, fast and clear responses to Agency and Client requests or 'situations' have ensured spice is an essential partner in the communications team.
We like the fact that spice is independent from any agency or advertising group - there are no hidden agendas. She works transparently.
But most of all we like working with spice, and Jackie in particular, because of her energy, enthusiasm and experience. It makes working together fun!

I have worked with Spice Communications for a period of eight years. In that period I have always found Jackie to be an exceptionally organised and professional person to deal with. Jackie has always provided us with creative briefs that are well structured and easy to follow. She is open to new ideas and challenges us to provide new and unique design and printing solutions. Spice communications are effective at taking care of the administration matters too, such as keeping their account up to date.
It is a pleasure to work with an organisation such as Spice Communications that are continually looking to add value to the services they provide to their clients. Jackie is a pleasure to deal with and I am pleased to be able to endorse her and Spice as an exceptional public relations and marketing communications organisation.

PZ Cussons
PZ Cussons appointed spice communications group to help build the presence of its Down To Earth (DTE) dishwashing liquid in New Zealand. The team at spice used their creativity and strategic ability to develop a long term campaign that built on DTE’s brand heritage. The resulting Adopt a Dolphin campaign has helped DTE defend its environmental position within the market …and also helps show our support for protecting New Zealand’s highly endangered Maui’s and Hector’s dolphins.
spice were extremely easy to work with and provided a professional on-the-ground resource for DTE in New Zealand. Their detailed reporting and client liaison meant the Australian-based marketing team felt ‘in touch and up close’ with activity happening in a different country.
I would be happy to recommend spice communication group for any future brand and marketing PR.

Blend Publishing
spice communications group helped to launch our new magazine. We approached spice due to a very positive referral from a colleague, and with the view that we had a very tight time-frame to work within. They were able to immediately grasp what we were hoping to achieve and add some very creative ideas to the launch of the magazine. We were very impressed by the timeliness of both their planning and implementation of these plans. The preparation and distribution of the media kit, the organisation of Press Releases, and assistance with the launch event, were all very professional and enabled us to gain significant exposure in the press.
I have no hesitation in endorsing spice for any PR or communications initiatives. In fact, we have already referred them to another colleague to organise the PR for a visit by a prominent American Television figure.
