THE WORD IS OUT! READ OUR TESTIMONIALS

Kirsty, I felt the need to feedback to you how absolutely invaluable the work we did together has been over the past week! ACHC has just received a Commonwealth grant which made the requests for media a positive opportunity alongside more general reports regarding social housing.

I have had TV interviews with ABC & WIN, radio with ABC & Star radio, as well as the Cairns Post and Tropic Now. Whilst still nerve wracking I felt much more in control and positive about the engagement and outcomes. Thank you so much!

I highly recommend Kirsty's media training services for any organisation looking to build media skills in their teams. Kirsty delivered a one day workshop for Terrain NRM to help our farming extension officers understand the media and learn how to utilise it to tell their stories to a broader audience. The feedback we received was extremely positive. All the participants loved the opportunity to learn from such an experienced journalist and talented trainer and came away with some very practical and useful tips.

Kirsty and Leon took on our documentary project with tight timelines and after just a few short meetings with us, developed a script that perfectly matched our brief. Being new to documentary production ourselves, Kirsty and Leon stepped us through the process and were able to work with raw footage that had already been collected to produce a documentary in a timely and professional manner. Kirsty and Leon were a pleasure to work with and delivered a finished product that we can all be proud of.

Kirsty has presented many informative and valuable small group workshops for the Young Entrepreneurs Project. She shared her knowledge and experience as a journalist and educated the attendees on what journalists actually want, how to engage with them and how to write a solid media release. Kirsty presented with professionalism but was fun to listen to also. With great feedback from the workshop, Y(E)P is looking forward to having Kirsty present further media workshops.

Kirsty immediately came to mind for the role of MC at our International Women's Day Dinner in 2016. Kirsty did an amazing job before, during and after the event. Kirsty was involved with the planning and directed much of how the successful night would proceed. It was under Kirsty’s guidance and direction that the event was a huge success! The event was held again in 2017 with Kirsty as our brilliant MC and we invited her back for a third year in 2018, raising more than $20,000 on the night.

Kirsty is organised, reliable, professional and competent. I have seen Kirsty in various roles, and am always inspired and impressed by the dedication, passion and enthusiasm that is shown in all that she does.

As a regional Queensland fashion company with customers across Australia and around the world, we have to be able to successfully compete with major metropolitan rivals. When it comes to our sales and marketing materials, we must achieve a standard that makes us stand out from the rest. We recently engaged Kirsty Nancarrow to produce a sales training video for our wholesale and corporate B2B customers. Although we were on a tight budget, we are so glad that went with the affordable option of having Kirsty do the voiceover, rather than doing it ourselves. This took our video to the next level. Kirsty’s voiceover is polished, modulated and very professional. It is exactly what we need to impress our customers.

Kirsty delivered the first ever journalism class in Batase School, Nepal. It was not only awesome but also inspiring for the grade 10 students. Before she introduced the journalism class, our students had only a limited understanding but they got a golden opportunity to know what journalism is. Along with teaching journalism, Kirsty has dedicated her precious time managing the sponsorship program that is really bringing positive changes to the students and addressing the dropout problems at the school.
