TESTIMONIALS
Our valued clients have taken the time to write some kind words about us. Have a read of what they have to say below:
Since Studio Pilates International has assigned KDPR for their PR work, our product sales have experienced amazing growth. We have appeared in all of Brisbane’s local magazines and after the most recent coverage in CLEO, sales noticeably jumped – which is very exciting for us. The value and power in PR for us has been impressive and we’re really happy with the results. |
Julie Glassbrook, Product Director Studio Pilates International |
Thank you for your PR assistance. KDPR were savvy, professional and very accommodating. I would have no hesitation recommending them to other retailers in the future. I wish you all the best with Babes in Business and KDPR. |

IMG Fashion commissioned KDPR to assist with the direct procurement of local Queensland based celebrities to attend the inaugural SWIM FASHION WEEK @ Sanctuary Cove in February 2009. |
The delivery of these guests was part of a tactical PR strategy that not only provided social media outcomes and introduced these customers to participating designer brands, but also introduced many high profile individuals to the Sanctuary Cove lifestyle - which was a significant directive of this campaign. |
KDPR not only adhered to an agreed timeline and target list as part of this strategy, but went above and beyond to assist our greater marketing and communications team wherever possible. In particular, they offered invaluable insights and introductions to local media contacts and assisted with some media placement, all of which was outside of the agency’s direct brief. |
The agency’s initiative, professionalism and enthusiasm for our event is to be commended. We certainly hope that we can be in a position to work with the team again soon, and would not hesitate in recommending them into the future. |
Graeme Lewsey, Marketing & Communications Director IMG Fashion Asia Pacific. |
KDPR has delivered exceptional public relations services to Brookfield Multiplex over the past two years, working closely with our team at Portside Wharf on all retail, cruise and residential aspects of the $1.3 billion development. We have found KD Public Relations to be consistently professional in their work, and through their well established media relationships have successfully maintained extensive coverage across national and Queensland media for Portside Wharf. We look forward to continuing our relationship with KD Public Relations and have no hesitation in recommending them to other organisations. |
James Lopez, General Manager - Communications Brookfield Multiplex Limited |
BHC has been provided with exceptional advice, product knowledge and service by KDPR. Their intimate knowledge and experience within the property industry has been invaluable to our organisation. KDPR were appointed to not only manage our communication efforts, but also to change the public perception of our product offering – affordable housing, and provide crisis management on a range of sensitive issues. Their empathy towards our varying requirements and strategic advice has been significant to our organisation’s future direction and success. Our directors and employees have found KDPR team high accessible, motivated, and professional. I have no hesitation in recommending their services. |

We had appointed KDPR to manage the Public Relations requirements for the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival – Brisbane, hosted by Hilton over three consecutive years. This role included not just attracting an extraordinary level of media coverage, in the lead-up to, during and post the festival, but also the very time-consuming responsibilities of minding the local and national media at each of the festival events, speechwriting and newsletter copy, and the supervision of an enthusiastic but largely inexperienced team of volunteers who were so keen to be involved. |
Lindsay Bennett, Director Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival, Brisbane - Hosted by the Hilton Hotel |
KDPR has assisted Retail First with a number of public relations issues over the last three years. The team's professionalism and communication skills are second to none, and whether guiding us in issues management, or planning and promoting events, their experience is invaluable. KDPR's input makes life easier – we are better able to manage our business with people of KDPR’s calibre working with us. |
Deanne Abolins, Marketing Manager Retail First Pty Ltd |
Sunnybank Plaza has enjoyed an excellent relationship with KD Public Relations for a number of years now, working on several different projects. The team have achieved outstanding results for us in obtaining positive media exposure, especially in relation to our Chinese New Year celebrations. They have successfully worked the angles on the annual event to keep the media interested year after year. Their knowledge, expertise and extensive list of contacts are invaluable. We highly recommend KDPR to anyone looking for professional and friendly public relations and media advice. |
Lisa Smith, Marketing Manager Retail First Pty Ltd - Sunnybank Plaza |
KDPR was engaged to provide creative direction, source stories and write content for our quarterly magazine, Spice, which is based around the retailers of Sunny Park Shopping Centre. Kristin and the team at KDPR generated innovative ideas and concepts for each edition, ensuring the content was always enticing and suitably written for our target market. KDPR understands the needs of our business, and we recommend them for their professional copywriting and quality customer service. |

We’ve really enjoyed working with KDPR on promoting and building our brand! We’ve seen some great results in a short space of time we have found the consultants to be very well connected within the fashion Industry leading to many valuable introductions for us. KDPR understands our product and niche market and where we’re heading with our brand. |
Through working with KDPR, we have identified many new opportunities for brand exposure and growth. We would not hesitate to recommend KDPR for fashion Public Relations! |
Gabrielle Thompson and Shannon Gunn, Fashion Designers Tom Gunn |
I found the KDPR team to be professional, enthusiastic and committed. We employed the team to work with the Regatta Hotel management to raise the Hotel’s profile and also to promote the Wickham Hotel’s Big Gay Day event. The KDPR members immediately fitted in with the client team and were a pleasure to work with. KDPR went above and beyond the brief (and my expectations) of the job, which allowed myself and the client the opportunity to focus on the marketing segment of the campaign. The editorial coverage achieved was targeted, extensive and superior to any prior PR agency performance previously employed. I have no hesitation in recommending KDPR. |
Anthony Cheers, Marketing Manager Coles Hotel Group |
The professionalism of the KDPR team is unquestionable, their attention to detail, client contact and genuine love and interest in my product exceptional. I cannot thank the KDPR team enough for their knowledge and expertise. The team definitely delivers! |
Keren Brown, Director The Cupcake Courier |
I have been using KD Public Relations for over 12 months now and have been extremely happy with the results. They have been very motivated in finding the best avenues to promote my company with great results. I would highly recommend them as they are terrific to work with and really listen to your needs and what you are requiring. |
Tracey Mathers, Managing Director Tracey Mathers Shoe Studio |
Our continued partnership with KDPR is a true reflection of the invaluable experience the KDPR team holds within the Brisbane market. With the successful 2007 launch of The High Tea Party, our marketing event for women, and the achievements to date with the High Tea Party, we couldn’t be happier with the interest and coverage gained through their media and PR relationships. |
Alison Dean, Director The Peppermint Group |
We engage KD Public Relations on an ongoing basis to provide media and presentation training to our executive team. The teams combined experience gives our executive team invaluable direction on preparing key messages, anticipating issues and improving our delivery in media interviews and public presentations. |
Michelle Pillonel, Public Relations Manager Conrad Treasury Casino |
The speech writing course conducted by KDPR proved to be a very successful exercise. Participants were given a hands-on introduction to the fundamental principles of speechwriting and were given tips on successful message delivery. All participants commented on the relaxed and approachable manner and professionalism. We would be happy to explore similar exercises in the future. |
