"Having worked with Alternatives for four years I have found they offer a unique service. It's not your regular agency, it's not your everyday consultancy...it's a thoroughly professional and fun team which has provided us with highly effective strategic thinking on brand development and a unique approach to marketing communication development."
FMCG Company, Manager
"I was impressed by Alternatives ability to map the market to identify the most suitable senior marketers for my requirements, to advise and challenge me in relation to candidates and to professionally manage the whole process to successful conclusion. I felt that Alternatives understood my needs and we worked together as partners throughout the process."
Financial Services, Marketing Director
"Alternatives provided great insights into a new, potentially lucrative customer segment for us. Their insights provided us with a clear picture of the segments financial needs and the type of offering that would appeal to them. As this target would be unlikely to respond to traditional mass marketing methods, Alternatives also developed a cost effective, innovative proposal on how best to reach them."
Financial Services, Manager
"Working with Alternatives really brought a fresh perspective to the issues we were facing. Their ability to frame and define business issues, coupled with a rigorous project plan inspired confidence and allowed a strong working relationship to develop. By drawing on a wide pool of expert marketing talent from different industries and backgrounds our orthodoxies were challenged and we reached solutions that we may have otherwise not considered. The process used was innovative and meant that we reached robust and creative outputs."
Brand Company, Marketing Director
"Alternatives quickly grasped the important issues and helped us to a high quality output that was customer focused and strategic but also achievable. Throughout they were knowledgeable, professional and creative - stretching the boundaries of our thinking. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them."
Telecoms, Divisional Manager
"Benefits of using Alternatives was smooth project implementation when the resources were not available internally. I have recommended Alternatives to other companies."
Tourism, Group, Marketing Manager
"Just a note to thank you for the excellent service offered by Alternatives. In October we found ourselves without a Marketing Manager and therefore no one to support the Executive team to build our marketing plan. Within two weeks of our first contact with Alternatives we were back in business with a dedicated and highly qualified resource to support the executive team. By early January the Marketing plan was completed and agreed. With your support, implementation is now well under way and we are on track to deliver our marketing objectives. Well done and thanks for a wonderful professional service. What would we have done without you?"
FMCG food company, Chief Executive
"Accessing Alternatives was a milestone for our organisation. Their input provided a step-change in our thinking. We have worked together on different projects for over a year now. They are very pro-active and are constantly on the look-out for ideas and people who can add value to our organisation."
Brands Marketing Company, Managing Director
"...Alternatives to the rescue! I found myself in need of strategic support, hand-holding and creative advice; but I needed it now...their impartiality and objectivity was a breath of fresh air...their experience levels made a big difference...Most of all they are great people who make things happen. I look forward to using Alternatives again..."
Drinks Company, Global Brand Director
"Alternatives worked towards and met very tight deadlines...to ensure all targets were met. In short they ensured we got the results we needed within budget. Our views towards "Consultants" has been completely changed and this is bourn out by the fact that Alternatives are now very much part of Premier Recruitment Group by working with us on a monthly basis. They not only help to formulate marketing strategy they also ensure that it is implemented, and this I believe is what sets them apart."
Recruitment Firm, MD
"I found that the guidance and straight talking advice from the Alternatives team helped our company to overcome some key obstacles in dealing with the buying offices of the major supermarket chains.
In particular the help we received in changing our approach to handling relationship problems with buyers resulted in a quick win with one of the top 3 retailers in Ireland whereby we turned a troubled working relationship into a positive and proactive one."
Food Company, Marketing Manager
"Alternatives responded very quickly to our brief. The quality of the people is exceptional. Alternatives ensured all plans were well executed and implemented on time."
Non-Food Business, Managing Director
"Alternatives has consistently delivered beyond our expectations on both strategic added value and expediency. We'll be using them again."
Drinks Company, General Manager
"Alternatives provided expertise and resources to enable us to move forward on a key project...they ensured that the project could be developed on time, working with our in-house team, but ensuring that the team was not distracted from other priorities."
Drinks Company, Marketing Director
