DUO Marketing is not just another agency but instead part of the Vox Orion family and the day-to-day operation of our business. From day one (2005) DUO was able to quickly grasp our industry, our company strategies and values, and help us evaluate and implement our promotions strategy in an effective manner.We have certainly gained excellent mileage in terms on PR and publicity and would most definitely recommend this dynamic team to other corporates and professionals. The team, with a particular mention of Mandy Graham, is reliable and give me the kick in the derrière that I need when I am not getting back to them on time! They’re a fabulous bunch to work with!Diana Prenner / Vox Orion
