• About Us

  The solution to your communications challenge might not lie where you think it does. Are your own people your best advocates?

  If not, why not?

  How important is authorship? Can others more credibly deliver your message for you? The answers to questions like these will determine the success of your communications.

  Crestani Communications acutely understands what constitutes a successful communications strategy. And because quality is as much about execution as creation, we collaborate with a network of experienced practitioners in advertising, design, PR, media and research, people who know how to deliver the best result possible, on time and on budget.

  Brilliant results come from direct, open relationships at senior level, and this approach governs every aspect of the work Crestani Communications does

• Our Services

  Our clients come to us because they need to persuade others to think, feel or do something.

  
  A successful outcome requires excellence in both planning and execution, and that's where Crestani excels.

  Planning typically consists of:

  • Strategic communications advice
  • Developing a plan for all audiences
  • Deciding the most appropriate success measures
  • Stakeholder mapping and key messaging
  • Creative recommendations for brand, advertising and design
  • Media recommendations

  Delivery typically consists of:

  • Either putting together the right team to implement a strategically sound, high quality campaign; or getting the very best out of a client's existing suppliers
  • Taking the campaign to market (that òmarketô could comprise of the public, staff, the media and other key stakeholders, or a combination of audiences)
  • Managing timelines and budgets along the way
  • Reviewing completed campaigns and projects to evaluate their success

• Our Difference

  “Crestani brings an independent view - no vested interests just good insight and advice”

  PAULA SNOWDEN,
  Chief Executive, The Quit Group

  Traditionally, communications partners have taken the form of large agencies with a vested interest in the kind of solutions offered. Our clients enjoy working with Crestani because all strategy, creative thinking and execution are appropriate to the task at hand. They know that everyone working on their business is an experienced professional, completely independent and accountable for the quality of their work. There is no B team.
  
  Our clients also appreciate that we are able to work alongside their existing marketing team and suppliers, delivering advice that's independent of commission structures or business alliances and helping to extract the best possible service delivery from existing arrangements.

• About Shelley

  

  Shelley studied law at Victoria University, before taking her OE. She took a job at KLP in London as a way to fund her travels but enjoyed the creative environment of a sales promotion agency so much she stayed for 5 years. On returning home, she worked for Saatchi & Saatchi Wellington at a time when the agency was recognised as one of the best in the world. A large proportion of her wider network comes from relationships forged during that time.

  A growing interest in strategic communications saw her complement her agency experience with a senior marketing role at Telecom and contracts for Westpac and Sorted. A break after the birth of her daughters was followed by a role as Group Account Director on government business at Clemenger BBDO. Four years later she left to start her own consultancy.
