“Creative Unit has been a valuable service provider for Master Builders. Their dedicated team has regularly assisted us in producing quality, professional material from brochures, logos and publications through to websites, eCommunications and blogs. Friendly and approachable, they have helped us find new, innovative ways to communicate with our members.”
“Right from the very start the team from Creative Unit have showed superior smarts when it comes to anything web. They always deliver the goods, are excellent problem solvers and have an unrivalled understanding of our business requirements. It's not often you find a company where the Director is just a phone call away (very friendly guy too). We had them take over the backend of our site two years ago and since then everything has run seamless. We're so impressed with Creative Unit they're going to be our only port-of-call for our looming website overhaul. We're not even going to tender it out. No point wasting any time … these guys are the best. Oh yeah, and they brew a fine coffee!”
“We have been using Creative Unit for our graphic design needs for about five years. Their creative input and advice is always appreciated, and they always welcome feedback to achieve an excellent final output. Their team has a great work ethic, where nothing is ever too difficult, and they are always prepared to ‘go the extra mile’ to fulfill a client's requirements. We would have no hesitation in referring them to others needing creative graphic design and websites.”
“We’ve always enjoyed working with the team at Creative Unit, because they treat us like a partner, where everybody is on the same level, all aiming to achieve a common goal, and we both respect what's important to each other's business. They are easy to contact, friendly and responsive, but most importantly they deliver high quality work which we're proud to publish.”
“The team at Creative Unit have been doing all of our graphic and website design work for over three years. Their professional approach to delivering an A Class product has led us to make them our first point of call when we need any design or printing arranged. They understand our brand promise and we have full confidence in their superb design abilities to meet tight deadlines and budgets with excellent results.”
“I have worked with Creative Unit for a number of years now and have always been impressed with their work. With the recent launch of our new business the Building Leadership Simulation Centre (BLSC) located in South Melbourne, Creative Unit were engaged to assist with a number of projects from online to printed collateral. The quality of their work along with an ability to work within strict deadlines has been crucial in creating a quality image and the successful promotion of our business.”
“Creative Unit have been great to deal with and as the name suggests has helped us with many ‘creative’ marketing projects. With the pharmacy industry being generally conservative with marketing, Creative Unit has provided us with technological advances to capitalise on digital trends to make us stand out in the industry.”
“Just over three years ago we started working with the Creative Unit team. We originally chose Creative Unit because we required both strategic and creative input to redesign our Brand and create a positioning line. They delivered an excellent outcome for us. We continue to work with Creative Unit for all our brand design and creative work and more recently supporting our online business development. They always deliver professional outcomes, consistent with brand values.”
“Creative Unit have been very professional whenever we deal with them. They have designed artwork to reflect our views and positioning within our industry. We are always happy with all the work they do for us and are never disappointed. The new website and social media integration has put us ahead of the game. They really are a ‘Creative Unit’!”
