  • Crucially, Sookio spent time understanding our business focus...

    …and what editorially would well work for us and how that could be best expressed on our site. Quite simply, thank you Sookio.

    Chief Executive, National Centre for Universities and Business

  • She immediately understood our business need...

    …and greatly helped us start our journey on social media platforms. Starting by developing our strategy and guiding us all the way through staff training, implementation and monitoring. Her approach was professional but what struck me was how passionate she was to support us and how much fun and energy she brought to it.

  • If this was an exhibition review...

    …it would be five stars all day long.

  • Invaluable to our social media strategy.

    I always looked forward to our sessions as she was so easy to work with and had an enthusiastic and no-nonsense approach to social media which we took on board in an instant. She seemed to get “us” as a company and her input was vital. I am now using social media with confidence and flair and couldn’t have done this without Sookio’s expertise.
