PROFESSIONAL REVIEWS
Wayde is a wonderfully creative marketing person. Besides being a dream to work with - dedicated, resourceful, full of initiative, funny, thoughtful - he has an endless supply of inventive (and clever) ideas for every situation.
He is much loved and respected by his clients; his colleagues valued his commitment and his creativity. He was a key part of our team and instrumental in the early stages of our company. If you can get him, you couldn't do better.
