The Marketing, Advancement and Communication in Education (MACE) institution, has been making use of the services provided by BusinessDNA since 2014. The service provided over the years was excellent and every year’s final report enabled MACE to not only finalise the process, but also to address identified gaps. Her knowledge and insight into the dynamics of higher education, enabled the MACE Board of Directors to constantly adjust the process to ensure only the best outcome annually.

I and my senior communication colleagues at Sappi have worked with Dr Amanda Hamilton-Attwell over a number of years. She has provided valuable communication advice, has consulted to us on various strategic communication issues and has developed and run various communication research projects, both at a South African and at a global level.

Her work and insights are of the highest quality, and I have no hesitation in recommending her for any project. I can add that her expertise is formerly recognized by her international peers.

My business relationship with Business DNA spans over a period of over 20 years. Dr Hamilton-Attwell and the Business DNA team truly upheld values of integrity, passion, and service excellence. Being an astute professional, clients of Amanda and her team can expect remarkable acumen in the field of Corporate communication and Stakeholder engagement practices. I fully endorse their value proposition in any assignment of this nature.

I would like to give official recognition to Business DNA for the manner in which they have been doing our employee newsletter for the past few years. They not only can pull a rabbit out of a hat but if needed they will work at odd hours to assist where ever possible to meet a deadline. They are always willing to go the extra mile – Amanda with the support and guidance and Lize with the writing and pushing us to achieve our goals.

Dr Hamilton-Attwell offers an effective and efficient service. Her professional demeanour and expertise played a critical role with this Reunert project, specifically relating to the creation of the survey questionnaires and the provision of advice. The reports she developed were user-friendly, easy to understand and to interpret and the recommendations were actionable.

BusinessDNA has conducted several research and measurement projects for Nando’s over the past few years. I have found Business DNA to be very professional, efficient and highly skilled in research with easy to understand and useful reports which provide recommendations on how to implement changes and improvements.

Business DNA conducted an internal communication audit for the University of Stellenbosch to evaluate the communication channels, practices and protocols that were used at the University. The results and recommendations have advised the conceptualisation and implementation of an internal communications plan for SU, which utilises effective communication channels, protocols and processes in line with the SU strategic priorities.

We could not have successfully completed this complex project without Business DNA, led by Dr Amanda Hamilton-Atwell. Business DNA provided an excellent service – they conducted the entire process professionally, provided guidance and support, were always available to deal with enquiries and ensured that all the project deadlines were met.
