Dan Thornton
Working with Tracy, Cherná and the Dialogue Team has been an absolute pleasure. From brand strategy and content development to media training and content placement, Dialogue have helped grow our Brand significantly over the last 12 months in the South African market. I would wholeheartedly recommend their service to any startup founder interested in starting the journey of building brand equity with a professional partner at their side.
Josie Lyon
I have such admiration for Tracy and her team of passionate and dedicated professionals. They have been a pleasure to work with – efficient, professional and always keen to help. I would highly recommend them.
Deb Zelezniak
As CEO of the Santa Shoebox Project, I've been fortunate to have the support of Positive Dialogue Communications for a number of years now. This capable and generous company is always on the cutting edge of the trends and current affairs affecting the sectors in which their clients function. The coverage which the Santa Shoebox Project receives thanks to PDC's hard work, informed advice - and of course comprehensive and influential network - has taken the Project from strength to strength, driven by excellent media coverage across all platforms. We are proud and privileged to fall into the Positive Dialogue stable and would recommend this sensational Team to anyone who recognises the value of top-level public relations.
