"The team at Magpie Media were hugely helpful in setting up my first webinar ever. Craig and Helen talked me through the process ahead of time, making no question seem insignificant. Their approach made me relax into this technology which is fairly new for me, and made the presentation run that much smoother. I will certainly be working with them in the future as I roll out more events."

"Thanks Craig for your presentation at the Southland Tourism Industry Seminar. Feedback from the tourism operators attending was overwhelmingly positive  indicating an increased understanding of the Social Media options, their relevance and how they might engage to a greater extent. Certainly, your entertaining delivery style and highly relevant content kept everyone engaged. Thanks also for your ongoing support to us during our own Social Media adventures."

"We’d like to thank Craig for the Social Media workshops he facilitated at our recent i-SITE New Zealand Conference, held in Napier.  We have received very positive comments from i-SITE Centre staff regarding the professional and dynamic delivery of his workshop.  In particular it was noted that Craig thoroughly researched his audience to ensure social media content, examples and pitch was relevant.
Many i-SITE staff are now in the process of using his social media strategy and idea’s in their own centre's Marketing plans."

"We’d like to thank you for your presentation on Social Media Marketing at the Northland Tourism Seminar Day held recently in Whangarei.
Your session was engaging and informative while taking a light hearted approach to what can be a very involved topic. It was a great way to end our full-day programme.
Nice working with you Craig – no doubt we’ll work with you again in the future."

"Co-presenting my first webinar was a little nerve racking at first, but it didn’t take me long at all to feel comfortable.  Having Craig there to facilitate and ensure everything ran smoothly made the process very simple and enabled me to focus on my presentation.  Feedback from attendees has been great and I’m looking forward to presenting my next webinar! "
Joanne Keane, Website & Communications Manager
Business Mentors New Zealand

"We have been business associates of Craig  since arriving in New Zealand in 1998 and since then we have used his services repeatedly and in various formats over the years; consequently, we have formed a very close working relationship with him. Our requests have been numerous and often complex - in fact Craig was even involved in a very specialised role in developing our UK business, though he lives in New Zealand. We would have no hesitation in recommending Craig in any capacity in business; he is honest, trustworthy, forward thinking, dedicated and a born leader;  entrepreneurial skills come naturally to Craig. He speaks from the heart, has common sense and guides you in directions you often don't think would be possible. It is a rare find to have one man who can accomplish so much, so often. Anyone who undertakes to work with Craig will not be disappointed - guaranteed!"
Mark and Sue Birmingham, Directors

"Craig Garner and his Team at Magpie Media helped me through my first webinar and I have had the most outstanding feedback on a successful mission.  I could not have achieved anywhere near this outcome without his handholding and follow through.  Simply brilliant – thanks Craig!"

"Craig’s support in helping me step up my social media interfaces has been immediate and paced to the needs of my company. He certainly walks his talk."

"Magpie Media are great – nothing is too much trouble. They have helped me set up and run several webinars now, often with people who have never presented on a webinar before and they are always happy to coach and advise. They go way beyond simply setting up the technology. If you have never run a webinar before, or if you have never presented on a webinar, working with Magpie Media is a great way to come to grips with Social Media without too much pain or stress."
Ann Andrews CSP, MD
The Corporate Toolbox

"Thanks Magpie Media Ltd for a superb service. I cannot recall when last I have experience such personalised service and attention. Your technology also works extremely well and the process is simple to follow. You have my vote!"
William Gresse, CEO
Appraisal Smart Pty Ltd, Sydney, Australia

"I applaud the initiative taken by Craig.  We can continue using technology at the most basic level and for many of us we have no idea of the developments and tools until we fall over them or are exposed to them.  Thanks to the Magpie Media team I got to experience the magic of Web2 and Webinars.  I totally endorse the usefulness of these tools for the business sector.  We are now one community in business with this type of technology.  The challenge is finding out the scope of Webinars and it appears to me we will only be restrained by our own imaginations.  Thanks guys."
