From the redevelopment of our website, marketing collateral, event management and overall marketing management, to working with our Business Development team on B2B Marketing strategy and execution. Mike has delivered work of the highest standards on time, to budget and over and above expectations. Having access to an experienced marketing resource that can work from strategy to the delivery of services has made us agile and responsive. I have no hesitation in recommending Mike and @consult.

Mike is an outstanding marketeer, with an excellent strategic brain. He introduced a number of key initiatives within the Radius group, which helped stay ahead of the competition.He has a real ability to cut through to the core of the issue, and solve problems efficiently. He has a very strong work ethic, and would be an asset to any organisation.

Mike provided us with an additional “marketing head” when it came to our international marketing strategy, getting up to speed quickly with an unfamiliar market sector to forge ahead with much-needed strategic thinking. He was able to engage well with stakeholders to drive their input and consideration of key factors in a tight timeframe, resulting in a solid strategic foundation for our international sales & marketing activity, both generally and for a specific new product into a new market.

Mike took on the role of Acting Senior Manager for Fundraising Marketing and Communications for Mary Potter Hospice. Mike reviewed and prepared the Strategic Plan for Fundraising, led the restructuring of the roles and ensured that fundraising activities that were essential to meet budget targets were undertaken and carried out well. Mike is very personable and competent (especially in Marketing and Communications) – he was easily able to bring these skills to a fundraising role. Thank you, Mike.

Mike facilitated IPENZ to prepare an excellent Marketing Strategy. He provided sound expert independent advice and in a situation with tight timeframes he was both very responsive and met our deadlines.

I contracted Mike to review our overall fundraising strategy to ensure alignment to our business plans, and then review all constituent income channels’ performance. This work was both strategically and tactically excellent. Mike was then contracted to review our National Fundraising team’s structure, Mike’s leadership and insight saw our organisation increase income performance and achieve income targets. A comprehensive thinker with outstanding leadership qualities, Mike made excellent contribution.

We have worked with Mike on a number of projects including Primeproperty Group (Dresssmart), Save the Children and Radius Pharmacy. These projects early success has been driven by his absolute focus and ability to closely engage those around him. Mike is an excellent communicator, developing strong networks among diverse stakeholders. It has been a pleasure being part of Mike’s team driving change and achieving positive outcomes in this sector.

Mike did a wonderful job in providing me with an insightful, concise and helpful guide to improving our retail marketing and promotions offerings at the Zoo.

Mike develops strategic opportunities and manages the marketing mix to achieve objectives well through his technical capability.

Mike is a good strategist and relationship builder and is dedicated to making things happen through clever planning and ideas. I have enjoyed working with Mike as part of the Foodstuff team and have grown with his Marketing leadership.

Mike has brought a practical attitude to our marketing relaunch. He made us focus on a solid foundation, starting with a robust strategy which all other work has developed. This approach has been extremely valuable, and the results have been excellent.

Our company appointed Mike from @Consult to help grow our online presence and drive our company growth with strategic planning. He invested a lot of time to really understand our business, our customers, and what makes us tick. I’d highly recommend Mike if you want a no-BS approach to marketing and ideas around growing your business in this ever-changing online world. 5 stars.

I’d highly recommend Mike Kotlyar for support and coaching in marketing. When I was given the responsibility of taking on marketing responsibilities in a family business, I was a beginner with no clue. Mike helped me create our marketing vision and organise everything in a way that felt manageable and effective. He worked with me to set up clear weekly, monthly, and yearly marketing tasks, which helped our business start building a real marketing plan. Beyond this, Mike was also a great coach, guiding me through practical decisions, especially when working with third-party marketing companies. He helped me understand what to ask for, how to evaluate performance, and where the gaps were that we needed to fill. His guidance gave me a lot more confidence in the role, and the progress we made in a relatively short time was amazing. Thanks, Mike!
