Telecommunications manufacturer
“Gill Taylor has been working with Samsung Business Communications for the last eighteen months to provide a range of services. She has used her knowledge and experience of the industry to carry out marketing audits for our partners which have enabled us to understand how best to support them from a marketing perspective - but in a way that is relevant for them - thus maximizing our investment in marketing support and enabling us to understand their businesses better. She also took on a large project for us to complete 12 customer case studies in just two months. This involved liaison with our account managers and our partners to ensure that all relevant parties were ‘kept in the loop’ and then interviewing customers, writing up the case studies and arranging approvals.

This project was completed on time and very efficiently, giving us a wide range of case studies for ourselves and our partners to use as marketing tools, enabling us all to demonstrate the benefits of the OfficeServe range and so generate more revenue. My colleagues and Samsung’s partners have all found Gill to be exceptionally knowledgeable and efficient as well as being an excellent copywriter. We also recommend her services to our partners who require marketing support directly for themselves”.

Samsung Business Communications

Telecommunications distributor for Avaya, Nortel and Mitel
“Gill has been providing copywriting services for Crane for the past year and has helped us enormously to define our messages and turn these into structured and effective copy for a variety of purposes - including articles, case studies and marketing literature for not only the Nortel division of Crane but also for our Avaya division as well. She is also experienced enough for us to allow her to contact our partners directly when quotes are required and to draft these for our approval.

Many of the projects which we ask Gill to undertake often need a very fast turnaround and she has always been able to meet our requirements, working evenings, weekends and even when on holiday where necessary! I have been extremely happy with the great service she has provided for us on several projects and I would definitely recommend her to other companies in the industry who need services of this type”.

Andrew Saunders - Managing Director, Mitel & Nortel Business Unit

Call management software developer
“Gill Taylor has been looking after our marketing for just under a year and so far has carried out a number of activities for us including copywriting, PR, managing our attendance at the Convergence Summit and helping us to create a range of literature to promote our existing product range and also a new product which we recently added to our portfolio. As a relatively small business, that does not require a full time marketing manager, it is great to have a company like Contract Marketing to hand who we can call upon to help us with marketing and PR activity when we need it – but who also proactively ‘kicks’ us to make sure we are doing the things we should be.

Our presence at the exhibition would not only have been a nightmare for us to manage ourselves, as we know from past experience, but in addition the end result would have been far less professional. Gill’s ability to visualise how the stand should look and to work closely with us to bring all the elements together was excellent. She is knowledgeable, helpful and very efficient – and I would definitely recommend Contract Marketing to other companies in the UK channel”.

Simon Whatley – Sales Director, Tollring

ISP and telecommunications reseller
“Gill has been providing Spitfire Technology Group with marketing support ever since she was channel marketing manager at SDX and it was great to have her services available to us when she went freelance. In the last few years she has managed a wide range of successful partner and end-user facing projects for us including trade and end user advertising, direct mail shots and bound inserts. These in turn have involved copywriting, image sourcing, data sourcing and selection, arrangement and art direction of photography - and overall project management of some very complex campaigns.

Without Gill’s knowledge of the channel environment and the vendor/reseller relationship, these campaigns would definitely be far less effective - as her ability to plan in detail and pinpoint the correct approach makes all the difference. She works with us as our marketing team and her responsive, proactive and helpful project management is always vital factor in the success of our campaigns. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any of our colleagues in the technology industry”.

Susie Ward – Director, Spitfire Technology Group

”Gill Taylor has been providing freelance IT-specialist copywriting services to Anderson Baillie since January 2003. One of the key services that we require from a chosen copywriter is the ability to grasp the concept of the brief quickly and turn it around as speedily as the client demands - and since we have been working with Gill she has always been able to perform this role for us.

Her input since our relationship commenced, backed up by her knowledge of the technology sector and the channel environment, has enabled us to focus on our own areas of expertise, in the knowledge that the copywriting element of the project is in safe hands”.

Philippa White - Account Director

"e-docs was formed following the acquisition of a partner company and as a result needed to establish a new corporate and product identity. This was a challenge to say the least as it involved both product and corporate re-branding as well as the development of a new website.

Gill was able to quickly assimilate our culture and positioning which she successfully interpreted as a marketing plan and new identity that was both imaginative and consistent across the complete spectrum - company and product logos, collateral, letterheads, product packaging and web-site.

We had tight deadlines to meet in launching our new software products therefore it was vital that our re-branding and marketing programme kept pace. Gill's ability to the manage the project (and us) as well as co-ordinating the activities of multiple suppliers was exemplary and I have no hesitation in stating that we would not have achieved our goals without her.

In summary, Gill is a great listener, a clear thinker and a damn good project manager."
