FOLK FINANCIAL SERVICES
I’d seen some of SB Marketing’s work so I approached Sean when I launched Folk Financial Solutions to bring in his creativity in creating a brand that challenges the “norm” for financial services. Sean brought some great challenge to my thinking, which helped me to get to a brand I now feel very protective of.
Sean also delivered the website for Folk in which he demonstrated professionalism, persistence, and patience, as we worked through some hurdles of compliance sign off and the challenges of delivering something a bit different. I think a comment from one of my associates sums it up “the website looks brilliant – congrats”.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sean to any business looking for great value creative thinking and challenge, or those looking to deliver a website that hits the mark.

LIVE. LIFE. ORGANISED
SB Marketing has been instrumental to the creation of the Live Life Organised website. Sean operates to exceptional standards, reliable and has high attention detail. He collaborated with my brand designer to create the most beautiful bespoke website. Highly recommended!

THE CHOCOLATE TOUR
Sean helped me develop my brand from the ground up. He not only designed all the branding and promotional collateral, but was an excellent sounding board as I worked through the intricacies of launching a new business.
He brought plenty of wisdom to the table, wasn’t afraid to make helpful suggestions at every stage, and helped me work within my shoestring budget through careful design. Importantly, he also never got annoyed when I changed the rules halfway through something (or if he did he didn’t show it)!
Sean is great to work with and I thoroughly recommend SB Marketing

THE WIGHT BEAR
Sean Barker has single handedly developed and created The Wight Bear Ale House brand.
He implemented our marketing through the writing and design of all our signage and promotional posters, website, blog posts, email newsletters and social media which has increased awareness, interaction and ultimately footfall.
Since opening our pub we’ve had a considerable number of customers comment positively about the “Bear brand” which is a direct result of his impressive work for us.
We would recommend Sean.
We believe his expertise has been key to the successful launch of our new business and beyond.

WICKED EDGE LTD
As a business that has been involved in a lot of promotional activity over the years Wicked Edge Ltd has recognised the need to use social media to reach an audience.
It would be fair to say that the typical "Kiwi Number 8 wire “ mentality has been at the forefront of trying to use social media as a promotional tool without really understanding how to use it properly.
Wicked Edge had the good fortune of being introduced to SB Marketing and all of that changed.
Wicked Edge has been building an event in Australia based around promoting NZ craft beer called the NZ Craft Beer Symposium and from a one off event in 2014 to 20 in 2016 it was recognised that we needed some serious help with social media to build this brand.
SB Marketing stepped up to the plate with planning, education and implementation of an effective campaign.
I found Sean at SB Marketing to be helpful in every way.
Often when dealing with someone from IT or web development you can feel intimidated and made to feel small. This did not happen with SB Marketing and you felt that you could ask “those questions” without feeling stupid.
Without any hesitation, I would recommend SB marketing to anyone looking for an effective social media campaign.
In 2017, I then worked once again with Sean on the New Zealand Craft Beer Symposium but this time he not only worked on our social media, but also the full design work from brand development, logo design, and design of all collateral.
And in 2018 I was back again with Sean as the event continues to grow, and not only did Sean design all our branding and promotional material, manage and run our social media campaigns, but also developed our own website.
