Testimonials – OxygenAds

OxygenAds has been working with Westpac for over four years. In that time, the team has been instrumental in creating and delivering strategic employee communications initiatives via channels including newsletters, brochures, posters, intranet design and video production.

OxygenAds invests the time to understand our needs and what we’re trying to achieve from a broader business perspective. Best of all, OxygenAds is not a ‘yes’ agency. They have a vested interest in every campaign succeeding, and the value they bring is in their expertise in what will work best for our audience.

The work is always creative. The messages are on the mark. The production is of a high quality. Everything is delivered in a timely and cost effective manner. But at the end of the day, that’s not why we choose to work with OxygenAds.

We work with them because of the people.

Our business is about customer relationships and delivering exceptional service, and that’s the type of working partnership that OxygenAds offers us. OxygenAds is part of our team and the way we work together, and the results we get is testament to that.

Meagen Benson

Communications Manager Westpac

I have personally worked with Bijay on many advertising creative projects spanning several years, including television commercials, magazine and newspaper commercials, and a range of printed communications materials (direct mail packs etc). Working with Bijay was always a lot of fun, with the quality of work excellent and the level of service and account management second to none. Unlike many other larger creative agencies, we found the final work to not only be effective in meeting its objectives, but extremely cost effective and value for money.

Bijay was always receptive to our briefing process and feedback on his creative work, but also prepared to offer strong opinions if he didn’t agree with us!

It was refreshing to work in such a way and I have no hesitation in recommending any organization looking for great creative work delivered with passion and fun, to work with Bijay and his organisation.

Elliot Singfield

Acquisition Manager InsuranceLine Pty Limited

Our company has never held advertising agencies in high esteem. Over the years, we attempted time and time again to create a working relationship with various agencies, but even after detailed briefs and explanations, we were continually frustrated by advertising suggestions as campaign ideas which did not even come close to what we were trying to achieve with our company and brand image.

I virtually gave up. I met Bijay Kalsy while he was still residing in the UK. Since that time, some 13 years ago, Bijay has developed not only our advertising, but also logo design, promotional literature, greeting cards etc. In short, if creativity is required, Bijay is called!

Bijay moved to Australia, but we did not consider for a moment ending our liaison, in fact the distance has sharpened the two-way focus resulting in the development of even more exciting projects.

Malcolm J Latham

Managing Director Latham Audio

For some time Transport Refrigeration Services Pty Ltd utilised a number of organisations in support of our advertising and promotional activities. Over the years, our success in delivering meaningful business results for the loose strategies has been questioned as well as a return on the investment.

In 2004 Transport Refrigeration Services made contact with OxygenAds and Bijay Kalsy. Bijay and his organisation were able to understand our business and customer needs within a short period. It was obvious at their first presentation of a suggested marketing and promotional plan we were heading in the right direction and our previous scattered approach could not continue.

Our priority in recent times has been to consolidate our business under one name and focus marketing strategies at various segments of the business that have potential to deliver business growth.

We are very confident, with the creative and fresh approach to our marketing and promotions plans, OxygenAds will deliver the planned business growth.

Greg Woodley

Managing Director Transport Refrigeration Services

Bijay is a member of a rare and dwindling breed of admen – he can strategise; he can manage a client; he can write; he can draw; he can go on-line; and he can produce the final product – all by himself. Indeed, he would be my Creative Director if he wasn’t so damned independent!

Much of our work together has been on one single demanding client – InsuranceLine. Together we created a unique brand in one of the most inhospitable of product categories: life insurance. At all times Bijay delivered a look and feel completely consistent with the brand guidelines he himself created. And the results were always there at the end of the day. We’ll work together again on another brand soon – and unlike with many of his so-called peers, I thoroughly look forward to that day.

Wayne Kingston

Managing Partner Boomerang

What we needed from an advertising agency was really creative, strategic thinking and we got this from OxygenAds at all stages of the process in launching our new fruit smoothies.

When we appointed OxygenAds, we were looking for a great deal more than the traditional agency/client relationship. Their service levels saw the project advance from conception to sell-in seamlessly. Their insights helped shape the brand and their willingness to undertake all tasks was truly refreshing. They undertook liaison with our suppliers, our field-sales team and management to see the task through, and in some cases, controlled the process entirely. They have embedded themselves in our company culture as true partners and they will surely be partners in our next venture.
