“Ingrid is welcoming, engaging and an absolute pleasure to work with. Although she’s currently spread across multiple projects, she always makes herself available to answer questions and does so promptly. Her developing website, Keeping Up With NZ, is fast growing into a national treasure for New Zealand’s entertainment and events industry.”

Vivienne Frances Long- Writer and Reviewer – Keeping Up With NZ

“Ingrid was a great addition to the team, with her passion and personable nature she fitted in very well with the team and the project in hand. One of Ingrid’s core strengths is her ability to learn about new subjects and industries, within days of being on this project she fully equipped herself with knowledge about the Curry Industry and achieved great PR results. A very efficient Virtual Assistant who completes the task in hand efficiently requires no micro managing and easily forms part of the organisation not as a third party. Look forward to working with Ingrid again in the near future.”

She has produced 2 radio packages featuring me, written a featured article in a magazine promoting my work and also featured me on an Online multimedia piece covering the TV talent industry. I would recommend Ingrid as a broadcaster and writer.”

I am really excited to be starting a new business but it is also frightening, so having someone to support you and bounce your ideas off is invaluable. Creative Sidekick has been able to use expertise to explain and advise on social media which I knew little about when I first started. “
