What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

April Ford is a marketing agency, internet marketing service, marketing consultant and website designer whose reviewers consistently highlight strategic depth across social media, digital advertising, brand strategy and website projects. Clients drawn from retail, manufacturing, construction and primary production describe a collaborative process in which the team takes time to grasp how a business actually operates, visiting premises and speaking with staff before shaping campaigns.

One thing mentioned again and again is proactive and accurate communication, with swift replies to questions and transparent reporting singled out for praise. Named principals April Ford, Brendan and Matt Powe feature in feedback for hands-on involvement and for building a team that clients treat as an extension of their own. Creative output draws repeated commendation, from product launches and photography through to advertising plans matched to specific objectives, and the results are described as efficient and cost effective.

Reviewers also mention the friendly, down-to-earth manner of the team and its readiness to discuss ideas and involve clients in content decisions. Work spanning brand identity, social media management, paid search campaigns and a new website for a personal profile is cited as evidence of this approach. The most common thread is a sense that the agency genuinely invests in its clients' success and stays available well beyond the initial engagement.

I have found the April Ford team to be one of the best agencies I have worked with in the last 25 years. They take a proactive approach and back it up with compelling and accurate communications. Best of all, they are there when you need them with quick response times and transparent reporting. You will not be disappointed if you decide to engage them.

April Ford have been consulting for our retail and manufacturing businesses on the Sunshine Coast for the better part of a year now and have managed to drive our marketing function to a new level of efficiency and clarity. The results have been outstanding. The have assisted us with all aspects of marketing including bringing new products to market, social media, advertising, and process refinement. April and Brendan, together with their team, have been fantastic to work with and I highly recommend any business to strongly consider engaging April Ford.

We had April Ford do our website and marketing material recently and the result is fantastic. All the staff have been very helpful and always make themselves available to answer questions. Kyle McDonald has been our first point of contact throughout the process and we highly recommend his service! Thanks to the team at April Ford.

We previously used April Ford for our business in 2020 and now we have continued the relationship with Matt Powe's personal digital marketing this has also included a new website. April Ford's creative is amazing, they are easy to work with and professional. They allow me to be involved in the content but put forward great ideas and initiatives to build Matt's profile, they are also a fun team to work with.

April Ford and the team have been fantastic to work with. With the team being able to visit the factory and speak with our team I felt they were able to get a real understanding of who we are and what our business is about, giving them a better understanding of how to manage our social media.

The team at April Ford are collaborative, imaginative, solution focused, and very service driven! Establishing our small business in the middle of a global pandemic, it was so important to us that we anchored a brand strategy and identity that was true to our story and service. The amazing team at April Ford helped us cut through the ‘everything’s an idea’ to establish a brand that fits like a glove. We were blown away with the thoughtfulness in their approach, collaborative nature, and the time they took to really (and I mean really) understand our business. We know that this is just the start of our journey with the creative minds at April Ford, they are a trusted partner for us, firmly established in our arsenal! Thank you, guys!
