“Jakki wrote a fantastic case study which really zooms in on the value I provide to clients. Her writing manages to convey a lot of detail in a very succinct form. She is clear and to the point while covering everything that needs to be said. I now have a piece of writing I can use over and over again not only in my marketing, but also when responding to potential clients. This means I can cut down on a lot of emails while still providing potential clients with the details they need. I have asked Jakki to write three more case studies for me, and I’m recommending her far and wide! She’s saved me time, provided me with real value and given me a very polished piece of work. Great job!
