As a small business investing in PR was a big decision for us and I can honestly say we made the best choice. Janelle is a brilliant sounding board and excellent communicator. Media Jams tag line is ‘Curators of Connection’ and that statement certainly rings true! The Virtue has been 100% connected to the right people. People who are now in LOVE with our brand.

Media Jam have strong, trusted relationships with key media and brand personalities, and this was reflected in the phenomenal coverage we've received. Working with Janelle has been a breath of fresh air, a refreshing spark to my working weeks. Janelle has helped to propel The Virtue from regional gem to a nationally renowned brand. Thrilled is an understatement.

It has been a huge honour to work with Janelle Brunton-Rennie at Media Jam over the last 5 years. Media Jam has increased my brand Karen Murrell Natural Lipsticks profile and business significantly through media channels such as print, radio, TV, media launches, co-ordination of events, international media, copy writing, publicity, social media, KOL’s, Facebook monitoring, Instagram hosting, but also personal coaching and mentoring that you would not see from any other PR company. I love working with Janelle. Her years of work and experience to become a master of her craft come to measure when a disaster happens. Which they do in business.  She glides through the door and handles it.  Only masters of craft can do this and Janelle Brunton Rennie is a true master of PR.

I was recommended to contact Janelle at Media Jam when looking for some help with the launch of my skincare brand The Edit. From our first introductory video call I knew she was “the one”, she understood our brand and where we wanted to take it as well as sharing common ethical beliefs in our approach to how we showcase the brand and strategize going forward. I have actually been blown away by the sheer amount of work Janelle has been able to put into our brand in the few months we have been working together. She has managed to get us excellent exposure and product placement in both print and online media and created great opportunities for alignment with the right ambassadors in the future. Janelle is a skilled and natural communicator which makes the job so much easier.  She is always on point with her marketing and PR strategies and somehow manages to achieve everything she says she will deliver on time, and follows up promptly with detailed reports monthly.  Love working with Janelle and her team and can highly recommend Media Jam!

"I reached out to Janelle at Media Jam as a fairly new brand with low brand exposure. Our goal was to increase our brand awareness and Janelle and Jess at Media Jam have had a huge part to play in our growth. Reaching out to Janelle was one of the best business decisions I have made so far! I was drawn to Media Jam because their brand values align with ours and had heard great feedback from another brand they have worked with. I couldn't recommend Media Jam enough, Janelle and Jess are so lovely to deal with and great at communicating plans and results".

— Sophie Cooper, Managing Director - Anihana

"Repertoire has been working with Janelle from Media Jam over the past year.  Over this period Janelle has built up our trust and confidence in working with an outside PR company. We were reticent to engage a new firm as we had not had great experiences in the past. We certainly have not been disappointed. This dynamic lady makes you and your business feel like you are her one and only special client, she always delivers on her promises and most importantly she really gets to understand your business so that all marketing has a positive effect on your bottom line.   Janelle is very approachable, easy to contact and always quick to follow up.  It is a pleasure dealing with her".

"I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Janelle and the Media Jam team, as they continue to exceed our PR expectations. Since we started using Media Jam, Silk&Steel’s brand presence has significantly increased - with ongoing quality media coverage and well aligned ambassadors endorsing the brand.  Media Jam is more than just a PR agency. We bounce collection ideas and designs around and plan marketing concepts, brand partners and PR events together - to ensure our long term vision is achieved. Janelle’s invaluable relationships and in-depth experience in public relations, as well as her honest and open attitude, gets things done efficiently. I love working with Media Jam and couldn’t recommend them more highly to anyone looking for a hands-on, results driven PR agency.”

— Sarah Cotterall, Founder and Creative Director - Silk&Steel Jewellery

"Media Jam have been fabulous to work with since the first day they started with our team at The Face Place MedSpa. We have introduced a lot of new and exciting treatments into NZ over the last 12 months, and needed help to 'spread the word'. Since partnering with Media Jam, we have seen significant growth in our business, and have achieved an excellent level of exposure in the beauty media. I love Janelle's tenacity in finding a great angle and her ability to make things smooth and easy from our end. In addition to having great ideas and being loads of fun, I appreciate their honest, straight forward approach, and will highly recommend their services".

— Dr Catherine Stone, Founder - The Face Place MedSpa

"As a PR skeptic Janelle and the Media Jam team restored my faith in the PR game. We have separate PR companies in the USA and Australia and Media Jam are streets ahead in delivering quantifiable and consistent media coverage and professional event management. I would wholeheartedly recommend Media Jam to any company looking for an honest, hardworking and dependable PR and event management partner that deliver results in a no fuss manner".

— Mike Beagley, Managing Director - Rodd & Gunn

Janelle’s focus, organisation and drive are great assets which add significantly to our marketing team and strategy. The straight-forward, fluid communication between our companies, goal-focused planning, detailed reporting and feedback loops are better than I have experienced with any other PR representation, both in NZ and internationally. Janelle consistently delivers excellence".

"VASH worked with Media Jam for more than four years. We found them to be extremely professional and the results fantastic. An added bonus is that they are very warm in their approach, which made all interactions very enjoyable, Janelle, always managed to make time to discuss our needs - without question. In the time we have been with Media Jam, they have attained an exceptional amount of magazine, online and print media placement. This has given us the exposure in New Zealand that we really needed and as a result our brand presence is now well cemented. We strongly recommend Media Jam as a Public Relations company and cannot speak more highly of them. We recommend them to anyone looking to promote their business and would be pleased to personally discuss this in more detail should it be required."

— Vashti Uys, Director & Designer - VASH

"Janelle at Media Jam has been great!  Broken Shed Vodka is a premium New Zealand vodka free of additives and made from 100% New Zealand ingredients.  Our marketing strategy has always been very different from a typical new vodka brand.  We asked Media Jam for very specific deliverables while working with a tight budget and they performed.  Janelle is able to get very good product placement in high profile magazines and events.  Her weekly updates are great as my partners and I focus on day to day stuff, Janelle has made it very easy for us to gauge her effectiveness on a weekly basis.  She didn't hide behind big strategies but did what we asked and delivered more than we expected!"

— Mark O'Brien, Director - Broken Shed Vodka

"Working with Janelle and Media Jam has been an excellent experience for us.  Janelle is a great person who says it straight, cuts out all the bullshit and is genuinely interested in helping us succeed in business which is refreshing to say the least.  We specifically use Media Jam to leverage editorial exposure for us around the gifting times of the calendar (Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Christmas) which has been a very successful, cost effective strategy".
