Since starting Strategy Refresh in October 2009 I’ve been incredibly encouraged by the number and range of organisations world-wide who value my fresh approach to strategic planning. Here’s what a few of my clients say about our work together:
.
“The planning workshop that Bryan ran for us was just what we needed to kick-off the development of our new integrated online fundraising strategy, bringing together our internal team and our digital media agency through his strategic framework approach to online planning.”
Susan Davidson. Supporter Development & Innovation Director, Save the Children UK
“Working with Bryan has really helped us focus on the key objectives for our digital fundraising activities. He has guided us while working to help create a digital fundraising strategy and has successfully facilitated meetings with various stakeholders across the organisation during this process. Bryan has not only helped us strategically but has also been a great mentor for my own personal development. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with him and have learned a great deal in the process.”
Kate Proh. Digital Fundraiser, Save the Children UK
Bryan is a very perceptive direct marketer with an especially fine knowledge of online. I’ve found that he always adds practical value while being excellent at challenging existing thinking. He’s run a number of workshops for me and my team which have always worked really well, enabling us to develop new – but eminently useable – ideas and comms plans. Overall, I’d certainly work with Bryan again.
Nick Georgiardis. Head of Donor Development & Legacy Marketing, Cancer Research UK
Bryan and I have worked together at Cancer Research UK on the delivery of a supporter segmentation model. It has been a challenging and complex project and Bryan has never lost sight on delivering a solution that gives us new intelligence around our supporters yet is also a solution that we are able to implement. Outside of this project, I have seen Bryan successfully challenge the status quo in a number of areas bringing people with him to see things in new ways. He is well respected and also shows respect and makes time for individuals at all levels within the organisation. I would be delighted to get the opportunity to work together again.
Catrin Shaw. Head of Strategic Communications Planning, Cancer Research UK
At HMA we’re working with Bryan to further develop the strategic planning services we offer our clients here in Canada. His deep knowledge, diverse experience and wonderfully creative approach to helping teams think strategically always delivers great results.
Lynne Boardman. Managing Director, Harvey McKinnon Associates, Canada
