Listen to what some of our clients say:

Jo Ann Sweeney is an outstandingly good communicator who brings strength, depth and considerable experience. She sees the big picture and delivers consistently, reliably and to deadline month after month after month.

I have worked with her for 15 years and have huge respect for the many skills she brings to my team. I recently persuaded the CiB to award her a Fellowship, giving her industry-wide recognition for a distinguished career.

I have worked with Jo Ann for more than ten years in a variety of roles including most recently the SPARKS Network. She is a highly experienced public relations and communications professional who is able to distil what are often complex legal ideas and terminology into clear, simple and readable language.

SPARKS has been a successful campaign in no small part to her contribution. I have always found Jo Ann to be hard working, productive and able and willing to meet deadlines. She is pleasant to work with and would be an asset to any project that needs an experienced communications expert.

Bill Blakemore
SPARKS Network manager

I have known Jo Ann since 2005, principally through a tendering process for a communications audit for the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB). Jo Ann won the work by presenting a clear and cost effective tender and delivering a presentation to Executive board members.
 
As project manager for the audit I worked closely with Jo Ann over 18 months. Jo Ann ensured a critical path timeline was adhered to, was always accessible by phone, responded to emails promptly, but more importantly was flexible to the demands of the organisation, which were sometimes very immediate. Jo Ann was very easy to work with, her communication skills ensured we achieved our objectives and outcomes.
 
The significant positive through working with Jo Ann was the amount I learnt about communications and was able to apply in my job after. The organisation has taken on board the project recommendations and is actively seeking to change their internal communications strategy. From the beginning Jo Ann made considerable efforts to understand the nuances and peculiarities of the organisation first, using this knowledge to achieve success.

I have known Jo Ann on a personal basis for many years and have used her professional service within the last year. I knew that I would not be  disappointed with her professional standards as she always gives of her best in whatever she does.

I used Jo Ann's marketing services to help promote my business as a lawyer and to promote the firm. The ideas and material she has provided have certainly helped to increase my profile and to generate more work. I now always consult her on all my communications matters as she certainly knows how to convey what I would like to put across.
