“Gerry injected both great humour and energy into our statewide public affairs forum.  He was generous with his time and tailored his presentation squarely at our health oriented audience.  As a direct result of Gerry’s call to arms, we have established a working group to extend our knowledge of new media in ways that will better meet the challenges of communicating with our stakeholders into the future.”

“Gerry is an outstanding writer and creative resource. His work received consistent and whole-hearted praise for our client base; his commitment to the team, job and outcome was outstanding; his ideas were fresh, thought-provoking and innovative. It is my pleasure to recommend Gerry.”

The workshop met my expectations. One of my main objectives of the workshop was to…understand how social media can be applied by organisations to target a wide variety of audiences and not just youth…Thanks again for the helpful and very insightful workshop.
Kate Sutherland, Senior Communications Adviser, Victoria Police 

“Highly recommended. After just 6 months of working with Gerry, we at brand experience agency ABT have witnessed first hand the impact of his strategic consulting skills. On-line reputation really is everything. He has helped our Google rankings soar, and we’re now truly positioned as a global player. If you don’t believe me just try googling us! In the past month alone, we’ve had enquiries from India, Hong Kong and New Zealand - which have all been generated through through our on-line profile. As well as achieving great success, Gerry is a lot of fun to work and has come to be an important member of our team. ”
Claire Kowarsky, Marketing & Communications Manager, ABT www.abt.com.au
“Gerry was one of the top scoring speakers at the Frocomm PR Summit in Sydney, May 2008…Gerry’s style and outgoing personality was a great hit with delegates; as was his knowledge of public affairs and the role of new media in the PR mix. I would recommend Gerry as a keynote speaker for any conference on the topic of PR and/or New Media. Gerry also ran two discussion groups on new media and these too were very popular, confirming Gerry’s knowledge of his subject in a more intense 1-on-1 situation.”
Glen Frost, MD, FroComm, Sydney

“Gerry McCusker was the perfect speaker to kick off day two of our conference - after a night out for most of the delegates, a speaker with a presence, humour and a strong message works! Gerry delivered all of that.”
Paul Dryden, Executive Director, PR Institute of New Zealand, Auckland

“Gerry dragged a bunch of conservative corporate finance professionals into the 21st century by working with us over a period of time to design a client focussed website, implement an online PR strategy and introduce us to the delights of blogging. So we’ve retained his services beyond the initial project to provide online PR support plus regular injections of advice, direction and enthusiasm.”
Allan McLaughlin, Director, Symphony Corporate, Glasgow

“Gerry has taken a number of seminars and workshops for us and has always done a great job which was reflected in the evaluations completed at the end of each one.”
Lloyd Grose, PRIA, Sydney

“Gerry is not only a gifted writer but a fantastic guy. Exceptionally well read, so no brief was too hard, and no product or industry too obscure. His passion for his work is unmistakable. A pleasure to work with.”
Anita Deutsch, Marketing Manager, Jetstar, Melbourne

‘Those of you who were lucky enough to witness Gerry McCusker’s wonderfully entertaining performance at Public Relations Institute of Australia’s conference in Canberra last October will remember it as one of the most popular, standing-room-only presentations at the national conference.’
