"Right from the first meeting I had with Andrew Spark I knew I had made a significant and smart business decision. I walked away with a clearer vision for my brand and with a confidence that he had my best interests at heart. He went on to produce a professional 'stand out' business logo that myself and my clients connect with and others' take notice of. Andrew very quickly identified how Body Boutique Personalised Training uniquely contributed to the Health and Fitness Industry and how to best present and market my brand. This has been done in an edgy and intelligent manner.
"Andrew is a great listener yet not afraid to give an 'alternate view'. He's incredibly easy to work with, has made an easy 'connection' with me as a client and has contributed to the development of my brand in a supported, exciting and structured manner. He has an intuitive creativity that gives me confidence."
Marian Leonard, Director, Body Boutique Personalised Training
"Andrew Spark is a pleasure to work with. He listened to me and took the time to understand my business then devised a website that reflected the diversity of my work in a stunning and interesting way. In addition he organised a photo shoot which was surprisingly painless. We worked on drafts together until we were both happy with the finished products. The resultant business cards, letterhead and website are better than I could have imagined."
Margaret Cook, Historian
"Andrew Spark has played an integral part in the marketing and communications behind The Ipswich Study, one of Australia's largest and most ambitious health research projects. We had used Andrew in the past for a number of smaller projects with great success and was the first consultant we engaged when we needed to take the study from essentially what was an idea and words on paper to a reality. Andrew has a unique ability to not just meet the brief, but surpass it, taking your marketing strategy to the next level beyond what you initially thought was possible. His designs made our ideas come to life. There is no other way to express it, rather than to simply say that 'Andrew gets it, each and every time'.
"Andrew has continued to play a significant role in the development of The Ipswich Study and is one of our proudest ambassadors. We will always be grateful for both his exceptional work and his ongoing support."
Stacey Vogel, Centre Manager
Faculty of Health Sciences, The University of Queensland

"H & G Contractors Pty Ltd is medium sized construction company with a small office staff. We had a website which had not been updated for over five years and was in desperate need of modernizing and updating to bring it in line with our growth. The problem was that we did not have the staff to do this and external people to our company would not have the drive or passion to achieve our goals.
"However, after meeting with Andrew Spark I found that he did have the drive and passion to take not only our website to the next level but also our company image. Since engaging Andrew we have a new up-to-date and detailed website and also a whole new and exciting company logo and image. He did all the hard work from engaging professional writers, photographers, chasing up testimonials, web design and most of all driving us to ensure we got back with critical information to ensure the whole process did not go cold. Andrew is a very determined and professional person to work with and is exactly what our company required to get the edge on our competitors."
Myles Harm, Director, H & G Contractors Pty Ltd

BIZTOPIA's reputation has always been supported by the service we provide to our customers, however taking the message of exactly how we differ from most I.T. companies to the market in general has been largely due to Andrew and his efforts.

"Regardless of the industry you are in, Andrew Spark will bring a completely new angle to your product / business and give you direction you didn't realise you needed.
"We cannot speak highly enough of what he has done for our business, Province - Modern Country. When we started out we were fortunate enough to have been recommended to see Andrew about the marketing of our business and had very clear ideas of how we wanted Province to be presented. Andrew took our ideas, and delivered a concept that not only met the brief but also allowed for growth and change. There is a quality about both him and his work that is hard to put in words."
Naomi George & Michael Melling, Province Modern Country

I have worked in this area of politics for many years at local, state and federal levels and have never seen anyone produce work as efficiently and professionally as does Andrew..."
Rachel Nolan MP, Member for Ipswich
"I have had the privilege of working with Andrew for almost two years on a large scale Australian Research Council funded project. This project has required the development of an extensive array of multimedia materials, including DVD sequences, animation, measurement instruments, workbooks and training manuals. In developing and producing these materials Andrew has been energetic, thoughtful, analytical, approachable, flexible and a person of integrity. "Andrew has listened patiently to our needs and provided keen insight, analysis and guidance - while at the same time bearing our budgetary constraints in mind. In doing this, however, he has not compromised on the quality of the product. Indeed, we have had nothing but compliments from educators and psychologists alike."
Professor Stephen Houghton, Director,
Centre for Child & Adolescent Related Disorders,
Graduate School of Education, University of Western Australia

"As the local radio station, River949 supports local business. Recently, a full marketing exercise, being conducted by the station, required of us to seek out external assistance to develop a positioning, branding development, a fully blown PowerPoint presentation and ancillary design with collateral printing etc.
"We made contact with Andrew Spark (who is already advising key advertisers on the station) and within a few hours Andrew had the brief, read it accurately and prepared a concept with visual support. His ability to move promptly with accuracy was superb and he came up with the entire product in a time frame, which to many others, would be impossible. Andrew's standard of work is beyond reproach and he displays a no fuss attitude.
"Having been associated with many organisations and individuals who claim to be experts in their field, might I suggest Andrew is exactly that, although he's possibly too modest or shy to make the claim.
David Greenwood, General Manager, River949
"Andrew Spark recently designed labeling and marketing
material for our Coolana Olive products.
"Since launching the new branding, a number of customers and distributors have commented on our professional packaging.
"During the 2009 EKKA our sales were up 45% from the previous year and we attribute this increase to Andrew's packaging design. Customers took our information brochure and since then we have noticed an increase of on-line sales. "We recommend Andrew's skills to any business that wants to 'be noticed'."
Ian & Dot Roy, Coolana Olives
