The Marketing Lab has worked with our team at Criffel for over a year. We run a diverse business with multiple arms: it was imperative then that any marketing partner could look for opportunities across the business structure, finding areas of consolidation and efficiency as well as identifying the best way to spend our marketing time and dollars. This is what the MLAB team have done.
Taking a whole of business approach to marketing is just one strength, we also benefit from their creative strategy and story-telling.

The Marketing Lab don’t just look at the cosmetics of a brand, they want to know who the company is, who are their employees, what do their employees think of the business, who are their customers?
They want the whole story.
By getting to know our company, The Marketing Lab were able to uncover the essence and heart of our business and then use this to develop a brand to represent us.
The knowledge, skill set and creativity that The Marketing Lab has is so inspiring… and we are really looking forward to carrying on our relationship

The Marketing Lab quickly established a brand story and built a brand look that was spot on.
We then took that to market in an easy to understand, and follow, systematic process.
Their structured approach is easy to follow and is repeatable. They know their stuff and the recommendations work.
We'd spend years learning what they implemented for us in months.

We engaged The Marketing Lab to execute what we thought was an impossibility. We had previously attempted to develop our brand and online presence through other channels and been dissatisfied the experience. And our business was already successful based on a platform of discretion and non-promotion.
Michegro and her team listened to our perceptions of our business and articulated them to the rest of the world in a manner that we happily present and repeat to our clients on a weekly basis. Along the way, they pushed us to progress beyond our existing approach, while also working respectfully around the non-negotiable elements that form part of our core.
We could not be happier with the result.

When Avfoil came to The Marketing Lab, we were not Avfoil we were an idea, a concept, a product with no name. The Marketing Lab helped define our company description and the development of our name that is now live, and well received. The advice was on point and a good match for our mission.

They teased out my preferences, gently steered me away from bad ideas & delivered a brand which is a perfect fit.

Michegro is an expert in her area. She is incredibly competent and guides with brilliant interpersonal skills. I would call her a ‘guru’ and this is no exaggeration!

I absolutely recommend these guys to any business owner.
Having The Marketing Lab focus on the strategic marketing direction has allowed me to spend more time in other parts of my business.
Their recommendations are insightful, considered, well detailed and structured in a manner that's easy to implement.
I'm no longer wasting 50% of my marketing spend on ineffective methods. And I'm already noticing a stronger brand presence in my chosen markets.

We were a bit nervous to do a refresh of our brand and look, as the saying goes, if it ain’t broke why fix it?
But The Marketing Lab took their time to really listen and understand who we are, how we’ve grown over our first seven years in business and where we want to go. They translated this into a clear plan forward, briefed and selected the graphic designer who put the first stage into colour and graphics for our signage and shop, capturing our essence and vision perfectly.
We’ve had great feedback so far and looking forward to bringing the next stage to life.
