Client Testimonials

 

In-house Business Consultant (Strategic Marketing and Communications)

“After hiring INTRO as a consultant to review our marketing strategy, we appreciated Carla’s commitment to review and deliver. She quickly identified various deficiencies and made us appreciate and focus on wider marketing concepts. Carla is enthusiastic, collaborative, informative, and responsive. She is a pleasure to work with, leaving us to focus on what we do best - look after our clients."

Nick Falla, Group Chairman & Director, Baccata Trustees Limited, Jersey

“Working with Carla as our on-demand CMO has been a game-changer for our accountancy business. Her high-level strategic marketing leadership and execution support provide exactly what we need without the commitment of a full-time employee. Carla brings a wealth of experience, offering fresh insights and direction that have elevated our marketing efforts. Whether for ongoing projects or specific events, her part-time, flexible approach has been a perfect fit, allowing us to grow strategically without overstretching resources. I highly recommend Carla for any business looking for expert PR and marketing guidance.”

Shakera Rolle-Manuel, Managing Director, SRM Accountancy, Jersey

“With Carla I get a strategic, confidential source of rich marketing and business development advice. One of the values she adds in our regular meetings is the ability to carefully target our efforts and rigorously measure what is the most effective solution. This comes from her clear focus on the bottom-line results and her breadth of experience from different sectors and businesses.”

Ronnie Isherwood, Director, JE3, Jersey

“Carla is one of the most dedicated, high-energy, and empowering individuals that I know. She is comfortable engaging with top-level executives and clearly communicates a no-nonsense approach to new business development. Her enthusiasm enables her to relate with peers and empower teams. She has an innate gift to think from a different perspective when confronted with a challenge. She combines broad industry experience with genuine concern for her prospects. She is a natural leader and a joy to work with.”

— ANGELA TURNER, MANAGING DIRECTOR, SELECT TRAINING, GUERNSEY 

“Carla has become a valuable partner for us at Tiller Technologies. Her experience in marketing and PR, coupled with her exceptional “little black book”, drives great results. She has taken time to understand our business and seek the best possible opportunities for us.”

Julia Cowan, Growth Officer, Tiller Technologies Limited

"Carla worked with me on the launch of our new brand identity and website, Franckel Law. As a sounding board and advisor, she provided invaluable insights that shaped our marketing strategy. Her expertise in creating marketing collateral, developing our website, and managing press releases has significantly enhanced our visibility in the market. Additionally, her guidance on sponsorship opportunities and content management has been essential. Her unique approach sets Carla apart; she works with her clients as if she is part of the business, stepping away when not needed but always available when necessary. She prioritises tasks as they arise and gets things done, ensuring we stay on track."

Simon Franckel, Advocate and Founder, Franckel Law, Jersey

Business Development/B2B Connection

“After we were granted a licence from the JFSC, we engaged INTRO's services to support our BD activity in Jersey. Carla is an experienced marketer with a broad network of contacts, and she has helped increase our profile in Jersey in a timely manner. She is a very commercially minded individual, which has suited our needs and business model perfectly. She is as adept at writing a business development strategy as she is at setting up meetings to connect the right people. She provides a complete service that adds value, and we look forward to continuing our working relationship with her and building on the great work she has already done.”

Tony De Sousa, Managing Director, Channel Insurance Brokers (CIB), Jersey and Guernsey

“Carla is a very proactive and resourceful person, who has tremendous enthusiasm and energy. She has a breadth of knowledge across Jersey’s finance industry and is always up to date on the key topics in the current market. I have always found her a pleasure to work with and admired her communication skills and professionalism.”

Kevin Sammon, Publisher, Jersey First for Finance, The Times Group, UK

“I enjoy working with Carla at INTRO. Carla supports my business by referring clients to me. Having worked in London in the past in advertising and being a photographer's agent, Carla knows what’s important to my business. She understands what is involved from my side in taking the photo, the importance of a clear brief and prep, props, location arrangements and time involved in post-production. It’s a win-win for me and the client.”

Glen Perotte, Owner, Photographer, Jersey

“As a start-up, I needed to make connections with the right prospective clients and suppliers, and I needed to do so with pace and confidence. INTRO’s Carla Harris is so well connected she was able to help me establish professional connections in a very quick timescale and undertaken with integrity, understanding and, it seems, with a real joy in helping her clients to succeed.”

Justin Clapham, Managing Director, Carayax Limited and Director, Consort1 Limited, Jersey

"Carla Harris has been instrumental in enhancing Granite Products' marketing efforts. Acting as an on-demand Chief Marketing Officer, she brings strategic insights and connections that have helped us refine our brand and boost both community and client engagement. Carla understands our industry and provides targeted solutions, stepping in as an external resource whenever we need her. Her flexibility and expertise have improved our visibility and opened new business opportunities. I highly recommend her to any business seeking strategic marketing leadership."

Simon Clowes, Managing Director, Granite Products Limited, Jersey

 
 

Branding and Creative Thinking

“Leadership Jersey needed specialist help with our branding ahead of a public launch that was going to be right in the glare of the public spotlight from Day One. Working with Carla was a delight as she was responsive, enthusiastic and understood right away the difference we are trying to make. It's great that Intro has now launched, connecting people and businesses is what Carla does best.”

— KEVIN KEEN, JERSEY BUSINESSMAN, Past President of Jersey Chamber of Commerce

“I have known Carla for more than 20 years now. She has credible ideas and is a solution-based advocate and achieves results. With Intro I am looking forward to the next phase of growth and development in the business and I am looking forward to working again with Carla.”

— Kristina Le Feuvre, OWNER, AMAIZIN! ADVENTURE PARK, JERSEY, PAST President of Jersey Chamber of Commerce

“Carla isn't just the right person; she is a crucial member to have as part of your team. Carla came to me a number of years ago believing in my company and seeing how this would evolve. Without her input, we would have struggled to reach the next level. In short, if you are looking for a new direction or to improve on an existing one, Carla will find a way.”

Shaun Gell, General Manager at Jersey Honey Limited

“Over the past few years, I have had the pleasure of working with Carla on a great number of projects in the roles of colleague, team member and client. These projects have covered a wide variety of sectors, including corporate and financial institutions, digital brands and, in one specific instance, the successful rebranding, marketing and relaunch of a prestigious hotel within one of Jersey’s major hotel groups.

“I have found Carla to be highly driven and dedicated when handed a project to manage. Her organised and ‘can-do’ approach allows other members of the team to function efficiently and effectively within their tasks. This, combined with her extensive experience in local markets and strategic marketing, brings great energy and knowledge to any project.

“Also, Carla’s comprehensive connections within the business community have proved priceless over the years and I would have no hesitation in working with her again should the opportunity arise.”

Steve Turner, Creative Director & Owner, The Refinery, Jersey

Board and Non-Executive Director

“Carla is a director on one board in my portfolio, although our paths have crossed many times over the last few decades.  Carla brings insightful and valuable insights from her vast experience and background to the boardroom.  She is pragmatic, sees and accepts others' points of view and encourages a collaborative and collegiate environment.  She exudes passion and enthusiasm in everything she does.   It’s a real pleasure to work with her.”

Heather MacCallum, Non-Executive Director

“INTRO has been our strategic marketing and PR advisor for the past six years of the Insight Group. Carla’s guidance has been more than a highly professional and knowledgeable service. Carla has been, in reality, a virtual marketing and business development director to our board, and her advice has probably generated the majority of our revenue.”

Simon Nash, Director, Insight Group, now Law at Work, Jersey

“I first met Carla when teaching as Head of Art at Beaulieu school and quickly noticed that not only did she have a gift for art but that she had an even bigger ability for organisation; if you needed something done, she was the student to ask. It was lovely to make contact years later through The Harbour Gallery Jersey and local charity Art in the Frame Foundation, where she has put us in contact with companies to sponsor exhibitions and events, and has introduced us to an excellent lawyer who was a big help in our relocation from St Aubin to St Helier. In fact, Carla found us our new premises! Carla is so enthusiastic and committed to whatever she does that it is a real pleasure to work with her.”

Pat Robson, Co-Founder & Director, Art in the Frame Foundation and The Harbour Gallery
