I have worked with PMW over the last few years.
As Director of Marketing for a Fortune 50 company, I need to work
with a company that can "do it all, and do it well".
PMW fits this bill perfectly. My experiences with PMW have been
extremely positive. They take the time to understand their client's
needs and work tirelessly to satisfy them. They have worked on
a number of projects for me/my company and each time they exceeded
expectations and delivered world class results. Their people are
knowledgeable, experienced and fun to work with (a big asset given
the long days required on many projects).
Throughout the years I’ve worked with many
marketing agencies in both Canada and the United States and I’ve
rarely seen an organization that provides such a high level of professionalism.
I’ve been working with Partner Marketing Works
International Inc. (PMW) for over three years on a variety of demand
generation projects and they continue to impress me with their world-class
services and senior project management skills whether in e-marketing,
direct mail or event organization.
The people of PMW are highly experienced professionals
that provide the attention to detail required to ensure a smooth
execution of projects, on time and within budget. Their in-depth
knowledge of North American lists has proven to be a determining
factor in the success of my programs and their extensive reporting
is particularly useful for post-campaign analysis.
But marketing is not an exact science and unanticipated
problems may arise. That is precisely when it’s important
to work with people you can rely on to make neutral recommendations
or even be empowered to make the right decision.
In this industry, it is also particularly rare to
deal with an agency with such a low-turn-over. From the client’s
perspective, it is a real plus because I don’t have to explain
my needs and requirements to a different Account Manager each time.
In the end, it saves a lot of time - and money - and contributes
to the overall success of my projects.
I would recommend PMW with complete confidence
to anyone who is serious about marketing and generating leads.
I recently had the pleasure of working with PMW
for the first time on a go-to-market initiative involving two
of HP's strategic partners - Oracle and Red Hat. The
initiative was a six-city Canadian conference tour.
PMW's knowledge of our business and their commitment to the
success of this important initiative were evident from the start.
PMW handled virtually every element of the execution, including
upfront planning, coordinating Partner engagement, content and messaging
development, audience acquisition and data reporting. The events
themselves were executed flawlessly by PMW, and highlighted by a
sophisticated live remote server demonstration of 9iRAC on an HP
Itanium-based cluster. All of the above was completed within a tight
deadline structure.
Attendance for the tour exceeded expectations, and follow-up
sales efforts have been successful in demonstrating ROI on our investment.
In my opinion, the individuals at PMW who were engaged on this project
were hard working and dedicated individuals, recognizing what was
expected of them and doing their best to deliver. Based on my experience
working with PMW, I would highly recommend them for any marketing
event or project.
I found that PMW provided a true turnkey
service with regards to the management of the Microsoft Business
Solutions "Business Insights" CRM launch event. Their
experience with events of this scale certainly came through in
the their ability to effectively communicate project requirements
and associated timelines, the creative alternatives they offered
in how to best expand the capacity of the event, the overall
look and feel of the event, and the professionalism demonstrated
throughout.
PMW was able to take my vision and make it a reality. This
included creating the right main stage setting, a pavilion
area that tied in with the overall look of the event and facilitated
traffic flow, to an outdoor 'cafe' style reception area complete
with rockery and fountains.
From an onsite logistics perspective, the event itself was
well managed by PMW. They were able to deal with a large volume
of registrants and built contingencies into the staffing at
the registration desk to allow for rush period. They managed
the even flow of the event through a series of transitions,
including registration, main stage, concurrent sessions, partner
pavilion area, and reception area.
PMW's timely, descriptive and detailed registrant and attendee
data gathering and reporting completed their turn-key service
offering and helped make this event one of the most successful ever
Microsoft launches in Canada. In fact, the overall launch and execution
are being taken into consideration as a best practice
in rolling this out across the world.
It was a real pleasure to work with the PMW team.
PMW has professionally and successfully executed
numerous Intel of Canada marketing programs including conference
and showcase events, video webcasts, case studies, etc. Their last
project for Intel of Canada was to manage the planning and execution
of the Intel Centrino Mobile Technology Launch Event, on March 11,
2003 in Toronto. Concurrently, they produced three related case
studies, the content of which was featured at the event.
PMW was instrumental in making this product launch
conference and showcase the top Intel event in Canada in 2003. They
were able to bring together all the resources required to organize
and produce a high level Intel customer and channel event, in a
short period of time. They also worked closely with our advertising
and public relations firms to ensure message consistency and coordination,
and to capitalize on efficiencies where they existed. In producing
the case studies, PMW worked relentlessly to interview key constituents
within the end user and channel organizations involved in the technology
solutions, and to produce quality content.
I've worked with Partner Marketing Works (PMW)
on two multi-city Canadian conference tours, and one world
tour that took place in Toronto, London and Tokyo. The world tour
included a live video webcast to each respective continent.
The experience has been top-notch each time.
The events are essentially turn-key for participating companies
-- PMW takes care of the planning, marketing, logistics and execution, allowing
me to focus on the big picture.
The PMW team is extremely professional and,
most importantly, easy to do business with. I would outsource
all my marketing events to them if I could.
I worked closely with PMW on the Solving B2B Integration five-city Canadian conference tour. Our business partners in this go-to-market initiative were PwC Consulting (now IBM Global Services), Microsoft Business Solutions and Cactus Internet.
PMW's experience, commitment and skills were an asset throughout – from the planning period, through to implementation, execution and post event reporting. They successfully managed and executed all elements of this lengthy execution and were a key driver in its success.
Of particular importance was their team's ability to be a valuable resource in content and messaging development, partner management, and customized data capture and reporting. The latter deliverable was key in determining that this tour exceeded our objectives. As well, PMW worked closely with our corporate public relations firm, and contributed to the success of our PR effort surrounding the tour.
I'd be the first to recommend PMW's resources for your next core marketing campaign.
