TESTIMONIALS

Marlene Le Roux

CEO – Artscape Theatre Centre, Cape Town, SA

“We have engaged Heads Up Communications over the past 10 years and keep coming back because Candice Jansen and her team deliver real results.”

Yolanda Jones

Ladles of Love

Candice, thank you so much for the amazing work you do. This is the second year in a row that we’ve used your services for one of our biggest fundraising initiatives to ensure we are able to fulfil our objectives. I want to thank you for how much thought you put into the campaigns, making sure the right ‘voice’ is heard to ensure optimum impact. Through your services, our voices, our plea, our plight is amplified and gets to be heard by those who are willing to lend a hand. I’m sure as someone who does this daily, it comes easy to you and might seem like just another booking or just another interview; but to us, the ones who sees the impact of the PR campaigns, it is life-changing. Not just to our organization who feels the reward of those who responds, but to our thousands of beneficiaries who now gets to enjoy nutritious meals daily, our homeless citizens who now won’t be turned away but is ensured a meal, our children at ECD centres who can focus on learning because a very basic need of a nutritious meal has been met.

Your work, to us, is more than just interviews, it’s key in our vision to alleviate hunger and we are eternally grateful.
