“We commissioned Alex for a commercial campaign involving interviews with several businesses in the Gold Coast. From start to finish, he was a pleasure to work with. Alex was very professional and able to bring a local perspective and thorough understanding of the industry and landscape to the brief, having written extensively about the Gold Coast. He was flexible, took on feedback and worked to our deadlines. We would happily work with him again if the opportunity arises”
