DAVID STEWART
Managing Director - NetComm Limited

"We retained Odyssey for public relations support and subsequently handed the Odyssey team the task of copywriting and designing our annual report. Working to a deadline that left little room for error - the report needed to be written, designed and printed within five weeks - Odyssey rose to the challenge superbly.

The result was an annual report that was well-designed and which communicated our key messages powerfully and succinctly. Also a plus was that the project was completed within time and within budget."

RODNEY ORROCK
Chief Executive Officer - Quadtel Limited

"For four years now I have been relying on Odyssey Marketing to generate media exposure for the software vendors that we represent. Throughout that time I have been enormously impressed by their ability to attract the right type of editorial coverage for our lines of retail software products. When Marketing Results was acquired by Quadtel in early 2001 we expanded our brief to Odyssey to include corporate investor relations and PR for our broadband products and services, again with outstanding results.

"In addition to PR we frequently call upon Odyssey to copywrite, design and produce advertisements, point-of-sale materials, software packaging and brochures. Thanks largely to their strong understanding of the technology market and their high-level writing and design skills we know that when give we Odyssey these types of projects we are assured of a finished product that really hits the mark."

WARREN DAVIES
Marketing Manager - Xchange Asia Pacific

"What drew me to Odyssey was their willingness and capacity to understand our business, and since then we have relied on Odyssey for a range of integrated marketing and PR support activities. Working with a firm that is as proficient at writing customer case studies and press releases as it is at designing and producing event invitations, online banner ads - and at the same time offering advice on strategic elements of our marketing - has greatly enhanced our capabilities and bandwidth.

As an 'extended arm' of the Xchange marketing team Odyssey is proving to be a very valuable resource for the company."

GARY SPOONER
Managing Director - Digi International Australia

"As our 'outsourced marketing department' since 1998 Odyssey Marketing is a resource that is highly valued by Digi. Whether the task at hand relates to PR, channel relationships, advertising, events or overall strategy, the Odyssey team are insightful and forthright with their advice and are consistently energetic and creative with the delivery of our marketing communications programs."

Gary Spooner, Managing Director, Digi International Australia www.digi.com

BRIAN ARMSTRONG
Managing Partner - Advanced Professional Solutions

"When we launched Advanced Professional Solutions in Australia we engaged Odyssey Marketing for strategic advice and logistical support. The theme they developed for our roadshow seminar launch - Your Practice, Your Future: Opportunities and Challenges for the New Millenium - really struck a chord with our target audience of chartered accountants. With around 140 in attendance it was standing room only at the seminar - a result that can be largely attributed to Odyssey's efforts throughout all phases of the project.

Since then we have enlisted Odyssey for support with advertising, public relations, direct marketing and other marketing communications activities."

GUY AVIDAN
President - NBase-Xyplex
(now Optical Access)

"When we decided to establish a presence in Australia it was critical that our arrival be supported by a strong media push. Odyssey Marketing arranged a press tour for us that resulted in generous editorial coverage across a number of key publications. Patrick and his colleagues were very effective in communicating the NBase-Xyplex story powerfully and succintly while also demonstrating a solid understanding of our products and of our position in the networking market.

Their professionalism and abiliy to deliver results led us to retain Odyssey for ongoing marketing support, including assistance with a range of non-PR activities such as advertising, trade show support and seminar management."

ARTHUR ORSBORN
General Manager - Tritton International

"We have been very pleased with our decison to appoint Odyssey Marketing to handle our marketing communications needs. As well as generating invaluable editorial exposure for the Tritton range of computer monitors, Odyssey provided precise strategic direction and creative support for our advertising program.

Their efforts resulted in an appreciable increase in sales - a great result in an area where return-on-investment is traditionally far from assured."

Arthur Orsborn, General Manager Tritton International www.tritton.com.au

GERARD MAYO
Managing Director - Maxiworks

"Unless you're one of the heavyweights in the software industry it can be very tough to attract publicity for your product. When we launched E-Mail Express we knew we had a great product but we also knew that getting our message heard would be a challenge. Thanks to Odyssey's proactivity and persistence we scored lots of media coverage including some very positive product reviews in key publications.

The Odyssey crew also organised some very successful giveaway promotions and other activities that helped E-Mail Express gain a strong foothold in the competitive e-mail software market."

TONYA BADRICK
Marketing Manager - Personic

"Whenever I hand Odyssey a project I know they'll get onto it straight away and do a professional job. Odyssey's consultants are very tuned in to our industry and to the business objectives of our company - consequently their advice on strategy is always first-rate, often enabling us to achieve results that exceed our original expectations.

On the execution side, Odyssey's copywriting, design and production abilities ensure a finished product that delivers on all fronts, even when they're working to a very tight deadline."
