Taranaki Bio Extracts

“When Taranaki Bio Extracts (TBE) realised our marketing and digital presence was outdated and no longer fit for purpose, alongside goals to expand our product range in the North American market, we set about finding a partner to help us deliver our required outcomes.

It was immediately apparent that Black Belt understood our needs, and the personality fit was perfect for us. The Black Belt team took the time to review our company’s history and asked all the right questions to understand our vision and goals for the future. This allowed them to present a proposal, that after 18 months working together, has delivered beyond all expectations.

Our belief and trust in the Black Belt team has led to a long-term contract where they act as a ‘plug-in’ marketing communications and digital provider to our company – in essence becoming part of our permanent team, looking after specific projects that we could not execute.

Based on our excellent experiences with Tanya and Shaun, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for expert help with professional profiling and market presence.”
