A decade of great stories
Since 2010, as a strategic advisory consultant we have been fortunate enough to work with clients in industries such as hospitality, technology, start-ups, industrial, events, agriculture, government, design, food & beverage, education, and professional services.
Here are some of the amazing companies, brands and clients we have had the opportunity to work with over the past 12 years.
TESTIMONIALS
“We engaged with Anne on a communication strategy workshop in 2020 and immediately signed her up to assist with our global PR and comms thereafter. Anne’s extensive experience of the hospitality sector has been a great asset in helping us create and deliver both brand and product communication. She is detail-oriented, can understand new technologies easily and how to position these to various audiences and she comes up with great creative ideas. With Anne’s help we were able to develop and bring to life a well thought out and lead generating strategy globally. Anne has been working with us as an extension of our marketing team and we could not be happier with this relationship and the excellent service she provides.”

“It has been a pleasure working with In2 Consulting. Anne invested a lot of up-front time getting to know us and tailored their services to who we are, the audience we were trying to reach and our unique value proposition. At the same time, we learned from her how we could benefit from public relations services in ways we never imagined. She has enhanced our approach to public relations and provided experienced, solid advice. With In2 Consulting, we made a wise investment and look forward to continued partnership for years to come.”

“Within any start-up, communication both internally and externally is critical to the culture within and the brand story outside. Details matter and this is why we engaged the help of In2 Consulting. Culture isn’t what I as the CEO says it is, but what the team does when I’m not around. Facing up to this requires getting unbiased feedback and that’s where Anne Bleeker was an incredible help to our business. Anne spent a number of days with various team members to understand where the gaps were in communication and to discover if the team was aligned with our vision. A debrief pack was created post this discovery with an action plan to solve the issues found. We would not be the company we are today without the help of In2 Consulting. I can say that as a start-up where every dollar spent matters, this investment was one of the best we have done to date. Thanks Anne and the In2 team.”

Seven years later we are still working with them which is a great proof of their professionalism and ability to satisfy our requirements when it comes to delivering content for press releases, use cases, articles and social media. As a Hotel Technology company we find In2 consulting as a perfect fit in terms of industry knowledege and flexibility. Thank you, In2 Consulting team, for all the hard work done till today and hope for many coming years, keep it up!”

“Anne and her team helped IDS Next with the development of a strategic PR & Communications plan to support our next phase of growth for the business. This involved a series of workshops with our team to discuss positioning, messaging, audience segmentation and channel selection as well as a content audit of our existing website, marketing and social media content. The end result was a comprehensive communication strategy comprising a practical implementation plan for our team to execute, which we embarked on right after our engagement with In2. It’s been a pleasure working with In2 Consulting and I hope to have more projects to collaborate on in the near future.”

“Having a PR agency by your side who knows what they are doing and who understands to the smallest detail what you are trying to achieve, is the foundation of getting the right exposure at the right time with the right people. In2consulting is an agency that ticks that box with flying colors. Always a delight to deal with such passionate professionals.”

“I would highly recommend Anne and her team of In2 Consulting. They are doing a great job – very active, creative, and brilliant in follow up! They know exactly what resources to use, how to get the right exposure, and reach the targeted audience that returns to us with lots of high-end bookings.”

“In2Consulting went above and beyond our brief to deliver consistently and quality coverage in the Middle East. Their contacts and ability to promote a story is impressive and I would recommend them in a heartbeat. Anne and her team are professional, always willing to help, and very proactive in their approach. It was a pleasure working with them and I hope to do so again in the future.”

“Anne, I can’t thank you enough for your guidance. Your suggestions where spot-on and I spent a portion of the day making many of the changes. Not only do I feel like my website is clearer and more welcoming, but I am now motivated to move forward into this next chapter feeling more focused and with intention. I can honestly say I would have never done it without you, so for that I am truly grateful.”

“In2 Consulting’s content-driven approach and senior team was what attracted us to the agency, and it was incredibly refreshing to work with a team that provided a true consulting service, rather than sitting back and waiting for a brief. They were proactive and creative but still with a meticulous attention to detail, so we could sign off content with a simple ‘yes’, rather than rounds of revisions as we have experienced in the past. They also challenged us on our ideas, making sure we assessed the potential results of all activity, which was highly beneficial. We’ve delighted to have found a PR partner we can now forge a long-term relationship with to further develop the AHIC brand.”
