Stuart Brownlee
I worked with Marcus over a period of years on various audience development initiatives and his knowledge, leadership and friendliness shone through. A first class collaborator and I am so pleased that his work at Pooka has now passed the 4 year mark.

Marcus not only has expert knowledge of web site design and hosting but also possesses a genuine ability to share it with the client. His creative flair ensures that design and functionality meet the brief perfectly, putting the client's ideas at the centre of the project and taking the stress out of what is for most people a daunting technical process.
