"Driving Miss Daisy engaged Milestone-Belanova to assist in the early development of our Australian franchise. Their mandate includes the Social Media and general campaign for the recruitment of Franchise owners as well as the provision of material and advice for the National Marketing Fund.

Over the past 18 months we have grown our membership according to our forecast plan and we are confident that the existing and continuing pipeline will facilitate our planned growth path.
Milestone developed a digital communication strategy and creative execution for our Australia wide campaign including Social Media advertising and organic posts, Google text ads, retargeting and remarketing programs, emarketing programs and a variety of marketing collateral.

Barbara Ketley as the director of Milestone-Belanova meets with us on a weekly basis to provide strategic direction on all aspects of marketing and meets with our entire team of franchisees monthly to provide marketing guidance, training and creative campaign ideas. She will also be presenting 2 marketing sessions for our franchise group at our national conference in February.

The results of our work with Milestone-Belanova have reached a level where we are now receiving an unprecedented volume of leads for franchise recruitment each day of the week.

It is our intention to continue the close working relationship with Barbara and her very competent team and we accordingly have no hesitation in recommending the services of Milestone-Belanova as a quality service provider to the franchise industry."

"We have enjoyed a long and extremely rewarding working relationship with Milestone-Belanova.

From the valuable guidance and input they provided when we created our Brand Standards Manual, to their ongoing direction, content creation and enhancement in our digital marketing platforms, we have always experienced throughout these processes, extremely prompt, professional and respectful communication from all at Milestone-Belanova."

- Phil Newling | Director Royal Copenhagen

"We have owned small businesses since 1997 and Barbara, along with the Milestone team way back then, helped our first business with a very successful launch which then continued to see amazing growth.

After a few years break from small business we decided it was time to start again. Over the last couple of years we created 4 online businesses which we now wanted to consolidate into one business. When it came time to rethink our business plan and growth for the future we had no hesitation in returning to Barbara and the Milestone-Belanova team to help us move forward. We met with Barbara for strategic planning, which was very helpful, so we could envision and plan our future growth and create a marketing plan to help us achieve our goals.

Since July 2022, Barbara, Karl and Lisa have been working hard on building our Google Ads campaigns. Our business is in a highly competitive market and we are still establishing the best marketing approaches, but working with the team  has been a very positive experience.

Communication is great and we are seeing  gradual growth with the campaigns.
I am very happy with the Milestone-Belanova team and look forward to continuing our business relationship and growth with them."

- Kathy Butler | Business Owner, Sending Hugs

"Working with Milestone-Belanova has been a fantastic experience for us. We met with the team to discuss a project called GET FREE that we had been working on for two years; it is a project that is close to our hearts. Milestone-Belanova helped us to uncover the core of our story and they unravelled a marketing strategy to help us reach multiple gatekeepers for our industry.

The graphic designs Cassie presented us with are thought provoking, imaginative, and always drive the observer back to our base message. We were so happy with the results; we extended the work to other projects in our portfolio.

I was extremely impressed by the depth of research Barbara invested in our project to ensure our facts and figures were solid.

The social media and web development went well and no request too difficult. Working with Milestone-Belanova is like going to a classic art museum - a great inspiring creative experience that has amazing depth beneath.

Thank you very much."
 

- Craig Giles | GET FREE TV SHOW - AAGILESBERG Pty Ltd

"We would both like to tell you that we are so pleased with our new website.
 
As a small enterprise this website reflects more than just our business, it is our life. So to have it looking beautiful, clean and crisp – exactly as we wanted… is wonderful. The time and effort you put in was greatly appreciated and you were all very gracious in your response to our many emails.
 
We opened a champagne last night to toast the final result… and the past few months of website development. We look forward to continuing to enhance and expand this platform as our business progresses and will be calling on your expertise again."

"I just wanted to let you know that the always reliable Lisa has made the transfer of our website a painless episode. I also want to say thank you for her great efforts.

It is such a comfort to know that I have a company behind us that delivers time after time. When Lisa says she will do something she does it. Possibly a more important factor is the fact she does it right. Working with Lisa is a breeze and her professionalism is to be applauded."

- Fran Seton | RunFun Travel

"Cassie has done a fantastic job with the MaxiWall & MaxiFloor Installation Guides – all 5 of them.

Technical Manuals are not easy, and you have worked very well with us on all the amendments and corrections to bring this project to a close.

Thank you!"

"From the outset, Barbara of Milestone-Belanova had the strategy for my product in place. Barbara instinctively knew the target market for the Shiane product line and paved the way for her team to complete the website & social media postings.

I feel quite fortunate to have Milestone-Belanova behind our product who understand the strategy required for the best results."

"Milestone-Belanova have recently completed a redesign of our Royal Wolf Australasian websites. The new website incorporates the latest innovations, allowing for future growth in the fast paced digital environment, an important driver for an ASX listed company.

Great job, well done!"

- Linda Carter | Royal Wolf

"I initially approached Milestone-Belanova three years ago with several business models. In our first meeting I was impressed by their experience and enthusiasm. The models were developed further with logos designed by Milestone-Belanova and I decided to approve the Mature Workforce logo and proceed with the business concept.

MBN designed and built the website. I was consulted thoroughly throughout the project and encouraged for all feedback. Barbara was always on hand to offer business ideas, meet with potential stakeholders and suggest networking opportunities.

Since the completion of the website and the exciting stage of going live I have authorised MBN to carry out Google Adword campaigns.

I have always found MBN to be efficient, responsive and good value for money. They have been able to offer all the services required from a start-up company right through to the ongoing marketing after completion of the project.

I have no hesitation in recommending their services for businesses at any stage of their development."

- Greg Rogers | Mature Workforce

Modernising and changing the face of our company was a huge job for us having been around for 30 years and we found Milestone-Belanova to be a fantastic team that helped guide us in finding the right branding and look for our future business.

The team at Milestone-Belanova were always available to discuss ideas and changes and to offer professional input to the design and the company vision. To date we are able to call and add or change concepts and ideas so that our website stays modern and functional. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the company to anyone wanting to change or create a new website."

"Thank you for the excellent work you did for us in setting up the SEO component of our website. In the past four months, our website traffic has increased by approximately 600% and this increase was noticeable immediately after I submitted the SEO data, via the CMS. There has since been a steady and incremental increase in our website visits over the past few months. Our overseas client base has also grown rapidly as a result of these changes and our new visits are around 75-80% each month. Lisa’s structuring of our SEO has made this a simple and easy process, which has shown immediate benefits.

We have had a successful partnership with Milestone Belanova and my plans and visions for our business were taken on board right from the start. Feedback on our website has been extremely positive and having someone who listened to my ideas for the website and then produce the layout that nailed the brief augured well for the rest of the development."

- Fran Seton | RunFun Travel

"Dear Barbara,

Thank you for the incredible work your entire team has done in removing the fog from our marketing ideas that eventually get to press, to client, to profit.

The standards of all your team members and their different skill sets has allowed us the opportunity to use the one company for our full colour magazine, our websites and national marketing campaign.

You have a strong understanding of our business which makes each campaign a little easier in each new briefing process."
