Janet was phenomenal in helping us tell amazing stories at my time at Evotel. She was influential in getting our first virtual community town hall setup on Facebook during COVID-19 and also helped us get our podcast up and running.
With PR being a tricky landscape to navigate, Janet guided us confidently through this and ensured our relationships with the necessary publications, etc were in good standing making it simple for us as a client.
I would highly recommend Janet and her team to anyone looking for any assistance when it comes to managing your PR or wanting to tell the world your story.
Thank you for putting us on the social media map and managing our various platforms so effectively
during the last 3 years. The Apio brand has certainly become more recognisable thanks to your efforts, as borne out
by the recognition we received from our industry peers, iToo with the social media award won back in 2020.
NCS Colour SA used Janet Gericke and The Communication Circle as a PR / media liaison practitioner for the last twelve months to great success.
During that period, Janet has operated the account with professionalism, always demonstrating commitment to our company and her scope of work.
It is a pleasure to have Janet as part of my team and it is most enjoyable working with her.
In the time that Janet & I worked together, she proved to be creative as well as persuasive.
Microstrategy achieved fantastic coverage due to Janet - her high work rate, industry knowledge and relationships proved invaluable in building the profile of the local start-up regional division of the company. I would highly recommend Janet and would be delighted to work with her in the future.
Janet has been instrumental in launching my new business. Janet listened to my vision and ideas and added her brilliant ones that very quickly formed a working formula to get my business on its feet. I needed her expertise and extensive knowledge of the overwhelming amount of media and marketing platforms available these days. She created a beautiful website and Facebook page for me that includes a blog and regular status updates. She put my business on other platforms and has managed those with enthusiasm and professionalism. She has listened to everything I have been feeling daunted about and she has put my mind at ease. I would recommend her to anyone, anytime!
Everything Janet did for BMC Software was brilliant. It was creative and had high impact. As a true media consultant, Janet has very close relationships with the key media for her sector. As a PR consultant, she has the ability to advise clients on the best story angle and is a very creative consultant. As a business partner, she understands exactly what a client's goals are, and how to make you look good internally to stakeholders. Everything was always delivered on time, a fabulous strategist and executer. Results were always amazing - not to mention the fact that Janet is a complete diplomat with TOUGH characters - who'd break anyone. I'd hire Janet again.
I got in touch with Janet during my work as country manager for BMC Software for the sub-Sahara region. We looked for a professional writer/editor who could assist us in our publications, collaterals, writing our reference stories, and customer testimonials and helping to translate our corporate message towards the local environment/community.
Janet achieved all of the above. She is a true professional and does everything to understand your business goals, and company strategy and will achieve you accordingly. Janet is very proactive and will help you achieve your goals.
Janet and I worked very closely together at The Wedding Expo when I first started. I will always be so grateful to Janet for welcoming me and showing me the ropes. Janet is organised and focused with a real problem-solving mentality. She has a well-rounded knowledge of marketing with a special interest in social media. Her commitment to a project is commendable.
Janet was key in helping BMC Software launch in the media in South Africa. She helped the company gain a great deal of coverage for both local and international spokespeople.
She demonstrated good attention to detail, set up media briefings, and one-on-one interviews and managed all the accompanying logistics.
Janet worked closely with the communications team in the UK to ensure messaging was consistent at all times and results were reported in a timely manner. She was a reliable on-the-ground resource for the team and great to work with.
Working with Janet is always a pleasure. Her professionalism and upbeat, "can do" attitude is a welcomed trait when it comes to difficult situations. Janet's integrity is also something that is much appreciated and a priceless attribute these days.
Janet gets you the information you need at the time you need it. For a journalist, that's invaluable.
