Wendy Thompson of Socialites is definitely one to watch. Her business and team are going gang-busters! And they’ve had a few official wins lately to show for it.

At the recent New Zealand Social Media Awards, the #SMCAKLS 2015, they took out Best Use of Social Media in a Product Launch for their Charlie’s Straight Up Cola Launch and the won Most Creative Use of Social Media for their Spark Snapchat Roadie.

They were highly commended in the Most Effective Social Media Campaign category for their Junk Free June – a Cancer Foundation fundraising campaign, run in conjunction with Little Giant digital agency, as well as in the Most Effective Social Media Campaign (Small Budget) for their Bell Tea Anzac Day Tins campaign.

Socialites is also up for two Effies (advertising effectiveness awards) for Junk Free June in the Not For Profit and Small Budget categories. Good luck!

With all of this great stuff happening, along with the fact that Wendy is a dynamic entrepreneur, we’ve invited her to be an expert on the “5 at 5” panel in Fiji, where she will answer queries and problems from the Nurture Change Business Retreat attendees. We’re sure her knowledge on digital marketing will help you and your business in some way. Head here to find about more about the Business Retreat.

"The business planning workshop run by Zac is a great opportunity to challenge existing thinking in your business and take results to the next level. The workshop was well thought out and provided a structured environment to channel ideas and ambitions. Zac has the perfect presenting style allowing for plenty of interaction amongst your team and networking with other business from a variety of backgrounds. Highly recommended"

"Zac has given myself and the business a real sense of clarity, and a better sense of day-to-day achievement for myself and the team. Zac’s ability to ask questions that are relative and beneficial have helped me grow the business and my self-awareness and create a more enjoyable workplace. Give Zac an inch and he’ll take you a mile!”

"Great two-day workshop that gives you a chance to reflect on your business, and focus on key points that need to be addressed to maximize your effectiveness and outcomes. The workshop was both entertaining and informative and really helped us to think about how we might navigate Covid / post-Covid, and plan out our next few years to guide the direction of the business. Food and hospitality was also great. Highly recommended!"

"Zac has also become a key enabler and contributor to us working towards the development of both our employee engagement and customer experience roadmaps. Kotahi is a new and fast-paced environment and it has been great to have Zac as a trusted advisor to both myself and the CEO. He has a no-nonsense and solid experience-based approach to his consulting style. I have enjoyed working with Zac and look forward to continuing on our engagement journey with the support of Business Changing”

"Transformational… Revolutionary… Awesome… Take your pick! Our business looks nothing like it did just three months ago – our brand is visible in the market, there’s a buzz about what we are doing, doors are opening and our heads are in the game. Business Changing changes business for the better… I’m very very thankful we met – my only regret is that we didn’t seek you out sooner!"
Nick Brown, Huffman Sauces
"Zac is incredibly insightful, inspiring and has been absolutely vital in contributing to the growth of my business. He's made me think beyond my goals and really given me the push my business has strived for."
Bex Riley, Tosca Salome
"Zac’s business workshop totally exceeded my expectations. The two days are well planned out to ensure your thought process takes you through the various stages needed to question why you are in business, where your business currently is at and where you want your business to be. Provoking questions, explanations, stories, presentations from successful entrepreneurs and of course Zac’s personal attention ensure you walk away with a clear and dynamic business plan. The venue was perfect, the lunch and refreshments sublime."
