Hook & Holla Marketing

While all my clients are important to me, there’s no better feeling than when I’m helping ‘the little guy’.

They might not have a big support network.
They might not have large resources.
They might not have the complete confidence to pursue something important to them…
…but one thing they do have, is me.

Artist and Writer, Nigel Matejcic, has launched his third book, ‘The Art of Being Nigel’, which details his personal struggles with mental health, in the hopes of inspiring others just like him.

Helping him with this book was the best way I could have ended 2024.
A small project, with big heart 🫶🏼

I can proudly attest to the great culture at UnitingCare Wesley Bowden - UCWB.

For the last 3 months I have really enjoyed working with this client and am grateful to be contributing to and supporting an organisation that cares so passionately about their people and the community.

Congratulations on this ‘Best Workplace’ award.
Very .

⭐ The survey results are in! ⭐

Recently we provided our staff with the opportunity to participate in an anonymous Employee Engagement Survey to gauge the valuable thoughts, feelings and experiences of our team.

From this, we were delighted to learn that we achieved outstanding results, particularly in the areas of Engagement, Wellbeing, and Progress!

Result highlights included:
✅ High job satisfaction and commitment to UCWB
✅ Strong employee wellbeing and effective stress management
✅ Positive perceptions of our organisational performance and customer outcomes

Thanks to our amazing staff, we’ve been awarded a Certificate of Excellence from X-Ref (pictured with Chief Executive, Helen Sheppard) for our commitment to exceptional work practices and employee engagement.

Culture is something all of us create together, and we at UCWB are proud that our community of staff and volunteers continue to strive for excellence and support one another.

Some people might not like to share their wins for fear it will make them come across as self-important, but I think we (other business owners, or hell, just society in general) should acknowledge and celebrate ALL achievements, whether they are ours, our friends, our collaborators or our competitors.⁠
⁠
In this case, I wouldn't have these wins, or future plans, if it wasn't for my supportive .⁠
⁠
So this is my half-yearly to them.⁠
⁠
Half year wins ⁠
⭐️ Helped coordinate another wedding (making it number 634)⁠
⭐️ Ran 4 photoshoots⁠
⭐️ Attended an award ceremony with client that was nominated⁠
⭐️ Reached 50 clients over the 3 years in business⁠
⭐️ Hit 500 invoices issued⁠
⭐️ Interstate travel ( ) for new interstate client⁠
⁠
Next half year plans⁠
🔥 Relaunch a new website⁠
🔥 Bring on board more freelancers and contractors for business efficiency and better work/life balance ⁠
🔥 Finally publish a blog that’s been 7 years in the making ⁠
🔥 Trip to LA⁠
🔥 Launch a new business (more to come on that VERY soon! 😉)⁠
⁠
So thanks again to all the people that made this happen.⁠

Last night was a blast! Client Holman Hodge officially launched their latest venture 'Next Workspace', a co-working space in the heart of the Adelaide CBD that has not only the latest and greatest technology, but actively promotes making connections, collaborating, supporting fellow businesses to become a real little community.

There were lots of smiles in celebration of this great new space, all while connecting and re-connecting with like-minded professionals, and just some all-round stand up people!

If you want to learn more about Next, check it out here: https://nextworkspace.au/..it is dubbed to be bringing in a new era of working environments... just sayin' ;)

It was a wonderful day yesterday at the Holman Hodge office as I gave LinkedIn training to their staff.

Hook & Holla Marketing has been working with them for almost 3 years, and having the time to stop and really connect with every single staff member, share my knowledge and have some laughs was a true highlight in that client relationship so far.

A big thanks to everyone who embraced the learnings, asked questions and a special shout out to the receptionists who kept me on a steady diet of hot chocolates and cookies throughout the day!

Just like a plumber with leaky pipes, my own marketing and social media has been put on the back burner as of late, due to doing what I love - helping OTHERS with their marketing.

It's been quite the work journey since I spoke to you last - new clients, milestone moments, interstate travel, happy tears and oodles of gratitude.

I'm excited to share with you over the coming months what else I can do for you and your business baby, as well as sneak peeks aplenty (after all, who doesn't love an exclusive?!).

Also, stay tuned for some exciting opportunities for those in the biz!

xo,
Natalia
