TESTIMONIALS
"I contacted Fuel as I needed to re-brand my business. Vicky scoped out the project in detail and provided us with an excellent marketing strategy and comprehensive marketing plan for the year ahead. She is a pleasure to work with, and throughout the project was highly professional, thorough and effective. I expect to use Fuel's services again in the future, and would not hesitate to recommend her to any business in need of expert marketing advice."

“We were impressed by how quickly Vicky responded to our need for quality copywriting in a short space of time, producing an excellent end result.”
Rachael George - Abington Clinic
“Vicky is great to work with and has already made a demonstrable impact on our marketing strategy and plans. She works collaboratively and is flexible in her approach; anticipating the real needs of her client and responding to the fast changing needs of a small business. Her work is of a high standard and she recommends and project manages external marketing expertise to compliment her skill-set as appropriate. Most importantly she is honest and will tell you what you need to hear as opposed to what you want to hear - this for me makes her an incredibly valuable marketing expert.”
Debbie Seunarayan - Director, Gallus
“I engaged Fuel/Vicky’s services to re-write the copy for my website. She understood me and my business quickly and was able to provide concise, punchy and jargon-free copy to meet both my budget and my timings. The result has been transformational. One new client said that she had read the entire website before contacting me, as it was so easy to read and appreciate who I was and what services I was offering.”
Judith Hanson – Judith Hanson Hypnotherapy
“When we undertook the project to redesign and completely overhaul our website, I called on my trusted Pixooma Partner, Fuel Marketing to help with a number of critical elements. Vicky (from Fuel) used her extensive experience to ensure that the correct tone-of-voice was achieved throughout and her input was considerable: all the marketing copy, a complete rewrite of our Business Principles and also a project to create a new strapline for the business. Vicky is honest, approachable and a consummate professional and we will be asking her to work with Pixooma on many future projects.”
Mark Coster – Creative Director, Pixooma

“I recently worked with Vicky to produce a customer testimonial film for a third party. Vicky managed the whole project brilliantly. In particular she really got to know the client's business, and with her marketing expertise was able to identify the key features and USPs that the film needed to showcase. The way that Vicky liaised with the client, the venue and our film crew helped ensure the project ran smoothly, and everyone was really happy with the results.”

“Over the last year Vicky has supported us by initially providing a review of marketing strategy and continuing in a mentor role on a quarterly on-going basis. The firm and me personally have benefited greatly from Vicky’s vast experience and insight of marketing in professional services. Vicky’s role involved acting as a sounding board for new ideas, assisting in planning and setting objectives for the department as well as for me as an individual. I would recommend Vicky to any business looking to develop their marketing team and grow their business.”
