BCcampus
"Kim, Sue and the Acumen team worked closely with BCcampus managers and staff to bring a more focused and transparent approach to our stakeholder relations and communication strategies. Acumen helped us to refine and rebrand our web properties to more accurately reflect our lines of business and to provide key information quickly and effectively to our clients and stakeholders. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Acumen if you're looking for a team that is strategic in its thinking and knows how to get the job done."

Kiwanis Pavilion
"We were very happy with the quality of the work and the attention to detail. Acumen assisted us during a time when the organization needed guidance on communications--both internal and external. The communications plan, media relations and advice we received was invaluable and we felt very supported by Kim and her team."

District of North Saanich/North Saanich Volunteer Firefighters' Association
"As a volunteer fire department we were faced with the problem of motivating the public to come out and vote in our favour at a referendum called specifically for our firehall renovation. We had a short time frame and no experience in this area and called Acumen for assistance. They quickly responded with various ideas and more importantly with a plan and timeline. We needed assistance in writing a newsletter and community notices which Acumen provided and professionally captured the essence of our message to the public. The success of our campaign was certainly in large part due to the expertise of Acumen and its professional staff."

VicPD
"Kim and her team were brought in to help us at a very critical time for the Department. Her experience, insight and ideas helped us reshape our entire communications program and build a new, powerful brand and message. The results have far exceeded our expectations and I have no hesitation in recommending Acumen to any organization that wants a professional, no nonsense communication plan that will get results."

It was a pleasure working with you. It's good to have a counterpart that is as professional and capable as you are. This was a joint effort and, at the end, it was also a joint success."
