Testimonials

“Carole is very engaging and clearly knowledgeable about writing and editing. She did a superb job coordinating our communication material to donors and alumni. In addition to providing web content for our alumni websites, she worked closely with the university Marketing Department to produce excellent concepts that she developed into ads, brochures, fundraising letters and reports.

She was extremely resourceful and produced stimulating high-quality products within the agreed-upon time frames. Carole’s services are an asset to any professional organization. I enthusiastically recommend her.”

Sandra-Lynn Spina, Marketing Director, Advancement & Alumni Relations, Concordia University

“The reason I work with Carole, located 6,000 miles away from my business says a lot about her quality services and professionalism. There is no one better than Carole for anything to do with design and SEO for the web. The advice and service I received was second to none.

After working with Carole, all my future internet projects will go through her. Having a beautiful site means nothing without the proper wording that works for both humans and search engines. This is key to good business, and Carole does this better than anyone I know.

Speak to her before you undertake a project on the internet or hire a writer. I assure you she is the person for the job!”

John McCormack – CEO, Rebate Financial Solutions, Ireland

“Working in the field of Marketing and visual design, I have had the pleasure to work with Carole Zabbal on a few projects creating slogans, tag lines and copywriting. She has exceptional communication and creative skills and delivers outstanding results. With her talent, knowledge, commitment and a passion for this industry, Carole played a key role in helping us to achieve our clients’ goals.”

John Roumeliotis – Creative Director, Black Ink Design

“Carole was a godsend to us at Lower Canada College. Carole designed the newsletter, interviewed relevant sources, and wrote and edited articles for the newsletter. We were given a tight deadline to produce a brand new donor recognition newsletter for our Capital Campaign. All our staff were tied up with other duties. Carole came through for us with flying colours, on-time, on-budget and right-on! She is a pleasure to work with and I would hire her again in a heartbeat.”

Jean Stutsman – Director, Advancement and Capital Campaign, Lower Canada College

“It was a wise choice for us to have Ms. Zabbal on board for our first year of operation: with her help and insight, we exceeded our sales projection by 20% and became the leaders in Central and Eastern Europe. Her copywriting, creativity and ability to attract customers to read our products positioned Austrian Vacations well in Canada and the US.”

Danny Rizkallah – Product Director, Austrian Vacations

“Carole has a fluid and articulate writing style, with impeccable research and organisational skills. She is quick to grasp the essence of any topics previously unknown to her; she has a copy-editor’s eye for detail, a knack for posing the right questions and a distinct flair for turning the most mundane copy into something eminently readable. She works well with little direction and was extremely punctual in her delivery of articles for our newsletter and website.”

Johan Hedlund – Editor, Forest Certification Watch

“Carole’s wide variety of professional skills, ready adaptability, strong drive and quick wit makes her a pleasure to work with.

She is a valuable component of any communications team.”

“From the time of our first meeting with Carole, we were impressed; we were left with specific information and a very strong feeling of trust.

Three years into our relationship, we are still receiving the same warmth and professionalism. It is encouraging to work with someone who listens attentively, absorbs information and requests, and provides innovative solutions, especially when all the above are well tempered with patience!

It is also comforting to work with a company that constantly keeps the established budget in mind. The approach is not to spend money, but to find the best possible solutions to your needs within your budget.

We thoroughly enjoy working with Carole and will continue to do so. We have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending her.”

Carol Outram, Janette Fauque – Directors, Akwe:kon, Premises Premises Inc.

“Carole is a delight to work with. She is a true professional, listens to what your project needs to move forward and then comes with a finished product that is way beyond expectations.

The best attribute about Carole is her energy. When I worked with her, I looked forward to getting her insights and listening to her suggestions about how to present my project.

I would recommend Carole as a person who is more than capable to assist you and your business. She has vision and will help you with yours.”
