"It Was Just a Delight to Work with Mary"
“I recently worked with Mary Barber on a series of stories about regenerative agriculture on farms in the Gympie Local Government area.
I introduced Mary to the respective farmers and I shared with her a lot of information about regenerative and holistic farming methods. Mary did a fine job of researching to back up my data and of interviewing the farmers concerned.
Mary produced and published 3 quality stories on the benefits to both individual farmers and the wider community of agriculture that is regenerative in nature.
It was just a delight work with Mary on the articles that she produced. I found her to be a consummate professional at every meeting and during each discussion.
Without hesitation, I recommend Mary. She has the skill and ability to share knowledge and stories in a way that is both educational and meaningful. I am looking forward to working with her again in the near future.”

Hassle-Free Press Releases
"I asked Mary Barber to write an article about how our product Fruition is reducing fruit fly damage in a persimmon orchard.
Mary did a thorough job, researching our product, interviewing the farmers, providing images and putting an informative article together.
Mary was easy to work with. She followed the brief, kept us informed and delivered quality work on time.
The finished article is an effective down-to-earth case study that we will use in trade publications.
I can recommend Mary to you without hesitation. It’s a pleasure to work with someone who has an affinity for farmers and agriculture. Here at AgNova, we will be calling on her services again."

The page is so effective it starts the sale for me. While I’m busy with one customer, another customer can see what we offer and how it benefits them. It gives them the confidence to go ahead with a purchase.
I look forward to working with Mary again."

Capturing Testimonials for Your Business
"Mary Barber is a skilled writer who thinks ahead. Because of this, we now have a variety of awesome testimonials that we can use to promote our next conference and other events.
At our busy 2016 Australian Macadamia Industry conference, Mary ably worked to our brief, and collected a wide variety of editorial we will use in post-event articles in our magazine, on our website and in future marketing collateral. Too often, these kind of jobs get overlooked at major events because everyone is so busy, however they are such an important part of the post-event evaluation.
Mary collected testimonials from local and international delegates and industry exhibitors. As a journalist and a copywriter, she was able to relate to these visitors and ask excellent questions. She collected positive comments from 10 trade exhibitors that we can use to attract more traders to our next big event. In addition, Mary interviewed 13 local and international macadamia growers and collected detailed feedback without taking up much of their time.
The comments included …
They’re so good at organising conferences so they’re a pleasure to go to.
It’s been fantastic…I certainly believe if you are going big in the macadamia industry, you should definitely come over for this.
Without Mary’s help we could not have collected this detailed information for our future promotions. As she is an independent agent and not an AMS employer, the delegates and traders were able to speak freely in their interviews. I can thoroughly recommend Mary Barber whenever you need a trustworthy, reliable and skillful person to collect testimonials. She was a pleasure to work with, and very professional!"
