Testimonials

“We came to Amy during the pandemic for help to get our social media presence up to speed. As a charity, who prides itself on its personal relationships with its communities, it’s fair to say that digital communications was not an area we had a great deal of expertise in. Amy was so good at helping us understand where our strengths and weaknesses lay and helped us develop a plan to move forward and grow our presence online. Her experience and professionalism was invaluable as we started out and her friendly, calm manner made the process of navigating the digital world so much more enjoyable.

Thank you Amy.”

Grainne Colligan, Social Action for Health

“Amy was absolutely amazing – she ran through everything in detail and gave me lots of tips to increase interaction across all social media channels and some amazing ways of marketing online. Since then I have been putting Amy’s tips into action and it’s working so well for our charity! Thank you so much Amy once again for your support, I would highly recommend Arctic Comms.”
