    Read about their experiences and what they had to say:

    I found the external support and expertise extremely valuable at what was a very challenging and uncertain time during COVID 2020. Max Marketing delivered technical skills that our small business simply did not have access to previously. They also bought fresh and broader thinking to the company that is not possible when the owner/operator is buried in day-to-day operational issues. The guidance, structure and discipline delivered by Max Marketing forced us re-focus and re-energise and helped pave our way to recovery and a rebuild after the destruction of COVID. We’re very grateful for their work and would highly recommend Max Marketing to others.
