Rachel is a hard-working individual who takes the time to learn about every aspect required for the business and campaign. Rachel had met all deadlines we had set out for this campaign and delivered content that was beautifully presented and engaging with her audience. Rachel understood all objectives and provided us with flexibility to share and utilise her content to our advantage. I deal with plenty of social influencers on a regular basis and I never had to worry about following up/chasing with Rachel, as she provided us with the confidence to leave the brief in her hands and come up with creative solutions/content angles on how to promote the campaign. I will definitely be in contact with Rachel again and would recommend her to any company that are working within the travel segment. — Australia Post

Working with Rachel was a painless, smooth and extremely efficient process. Rachel produced quality content for Busbud across multiple platforms and was always transparent in her communications with us. All in all, it was a fantastic experience and the entire Busbud staff was more than satisfied with her work. — Busbud
