"SEM had good market knowledge especially when it came to radio and understanding some of the audience targeted for the campaign. SEM's contacts were very useful in leveraging media and corporate support for Earth Hour"

"Value for money- would say hiring SEM's service was good value and her (Kim) passion towards the campaign and dedication (time wise Kim put in extra hours as well) is something that could not have been bought."

"The campaign was to initially focus on Suva however SEM aspired to take it further and played an important role in spreading the campaign message to the entire nation." 

"Exceeded out expectation in terms of media support and enthusiasm for the project. Also SEM was always accessible even during weekends and nights when required."

"Definitely recommend for any other clients as SEM is not just value for money (i.e. putting in extra hours and effort when required) but it also comes with passion and enthusiasm and the desire to get into the campaign/issue that SEM is working on."
