Kevin Browne, President, NorStar Exteriors, Muskoka “Norstar has been doing business in Muskoka for over 40 years, and we are strong believers in taking our products to market in an aggressive manner. A large part of being successful is finding those companies and people in media to partner with in growth. We believe that John has helped tremendously in the last 8 years through his attention to detail and creative ability. Unlike some of the ‘order takers’ that are common place in media these days, John makes sure that our messages are fresh, and that people listen when a Norstar ad is playing. We’re looking forward to working with North45 in the future and would recommend John to anyone.”...

Tom McGhee — Ontario Sales Manager — Sony of Canada “When i was the Ontario Sales Manager for Sony Canada, I worked very closely with John for several years on vendor and co-op Radio programs in Toronto that were very successful. John always had a knack for making the partnership between Sony and our local retail stores both fair and effective. We increased Sales with many measurable programs along with memorable promotional campaigns where SONY was the key partner. John’s creativity and business acumen were always reliable. The Independent Retailers trusted John to ensure their dollars were well invested, but he also knew how important SONY was to drive the programs. Tough to manage this type of co-operative marriage. John added real value for both Sony and the dealers by developing cost effective creative advertising solutions that delivered the message with measurable results. I always knew where I stood with Wright. Trust in a handshake was one of his best calling cards.” www.sony.ca...

  Laura Cutsey | Director of Marketing Dasani, glacéau vitaminwater + smartwater *********** “In the 2008 and 2009 seasons, back to back, North45 created and managed one of the most innovative sampling programs we have ever done to reach our consumers in Ontario. John and his team created the vitaminwater “On The Water” sampling/activation program in the form of a 22 foot Mastercraft powerboat that delivered ice cold vitaminwater dockside to thirsty consumers throughout the three Muskoka lakes. This program allowed us to reach the right consumer at the right time, and created a memorable interaction with our key demographic. The program was turn-key for us and all the ‘executional’ details were taken care of by North 45.” www.vitaminwatercanada.ca...
