GBD impressed us with the portfolio of work they had built up under Jeff McGarn’s leadership, especially in the retirement living
space. A mixture of internet (www.theterraces.org.au), visual, print and
radio advertising methods have been deployed. Already we have a healthy waiting list for the retirement units, with the first stage of
the project still over a year from completion.
We had approximately 300 visitors to our open day. It was truly a great day and certainly the best open day I have experienced in my
Australian career in the sector! I acknowledge that the success of the open day was largely due to the advice provided by GBD and the
quality of the marketing campaign leading up to the event. This is also evidenced by the fact that we took 8 applications in the week
leading up to the open day and 3 applications yesterday (the day of the event).
GBD has been closely involved with our campaigns since 1995 producing collateral material of a very high standard. Since Gold Logie
winner John Wood became our ambassador, GBD's creative team has produced some humorous TV and print commercials that have had excellent
results. Creativity is only half the story – of equal importance is attention to detail, adherence to deadlines and quick response to
our many and varied requests.
