It is with pleasure that I write a reference for Karen and Vyv Black of Black Eye Advertising for the work they have done for me for the last 8 years.

I appointed Black Eye Advertising in 1997 whilst employed as National Director, Marketing of Byvan, one of Australia's leading retail property specialists company, as the primary creative and advertising agency for the group. In this capacity, the Black Eye team was responsible for assisting me to develop the new company brand and its subsequent rollout across the nation throughout 200 shopping centres.

The role included providing creative support for many of the retail properties under management, where several of our properties won major marketing awards for their work including South Bank retail who won a Category Award and the overall Property Excellence Award.

Black Eye Advertising were also vital in the pitching and winning of new business for the group. Black Eye Advertising always came through under the enormous pressure.

Since 2002, I have now established my own company, Strictlymarketing, and again have chosen Black Eye Advertising as our sole creative agency. Their work is outstanding being both strategically based and creatively clever with a clear focus on obtaining tangible results every time.

I highly recommend them!

This letter confirms that I have used the Black Eye Advertising and Graphic Design Group for the past five years for various design projects, which have ranged from the development of our corporate branding, including a new logo, to the production of BMA's corporate marketing publication, a two-monthly employee news digest, and an advertising campaign responding to a specific issue where speed and accuracy were paramount.

I have always found the Black Eye team to be innovative in their approach to any design work, and very professional and helpful in their dealings with me. They have been responsive to timelines and deadlines, and have never failed to come up with the goods, even when the pressure was on.

I have no hesitation in recommending Black Eye for high quality graphic design and advertising work, and invite you to contact me if you would like me to clarifty any aspects of my dealings with the group.

Retail First Pty Ltd Marketing Manager
Mt. Gravatt & Fairfield Gardens Shopping Centres

Black Eye has been the design agency for both Mt Gravatt Plaza and Fairfield Gardens Shopping Centres for over a year and I have had the pleasure of working with the agency for eight months of this period.

During this time Black Eye has provided a full service of design for all promotional and advertising material. Black Eye encompasses the vision of a great designer who understands my needs and objectives, combined with a cohesive team that goes above and beyond the call of duty, ultimately creating an extensive and successful history of work for both centres.

I have received maximum return on investment with Black Eye with not only my advertising and design dollar, but also through strong communication and design outlines.

I strongly recommend Black Eye for any design position and should you wish to discuss this further please do not hesitate to contact me.
