I want to thank you and your team for last two years - it has been great journey together and I and my team here in Helsinki have been really enjoyed working with you! You should feel proud of your work and your dedication to MSN/Microsoft. Personally I think Generator are the most matured sales partner what we have in EMEA and of course will continue to be in that level.

"Mediaworks continue to be one of Ireland's leading media agencies.  We plan and buy across all media - TV, Radio, Digital, Print, Out-Of-Home, Ambient and Cinema.
We represent clients operating across a range of competitive sectors ... our client list includes well known companies including Quinn Group, McDonald's, Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Sony, Trócaire, Coty, Friends First and Tropicana.

We have been dealing with Generator since its launch in the Irish market.  In the past two years we have noticed the significant increase in usage of digital and online media by clients.  Unfortunately during this period, a number of digital sales agencies have failed to deliver in terms of accessibility, turnaround and overall servicing as they have not been in a position to structure their organisation / staffing to manage the increased focus on digital.

However, in the case of 'Generator' we are pleased to acknowledge that we have not witnessed any dilution of service.  In fact, our team of planners and buyers regularly mention the expertise and accessibility (plus prompt turnaround) by Generator as being first class.  This is in comparison not just to digital vendors media but indeed is a comparison to all media vendors.

For media advertising agencies, it is important that we have the opportunity to work with professional sales organisations who are experts in their field and who are prepared and eager to educate us on developments within their medium.  Generator is one of the few vendors within the digital arena currently fulfilling this requirement.  Delivering on this service level requirement will help and encourage us to continue to grow our clients' digital investments".

"I have been doing business with Mark Tarbatt and the team at Generator since they opened their doors in 2001, since then we have seen a lot of developments & progress since then and Generator have been at the vanguard of this.

Since setting up my business in 2005 I have valued the level of partnership offered by Generator, and this continues to this day.
One thing I value in business is working with solid partners with proven track record, the digital media sector, more than any other, needs stability as it's future is based on sustainable progress not the precarious peaks & troughs we have witnessed to date.

On a personal level, I very much see Mark as one of the founding partners of the digital media industry in Ireland, one of a handful of people who has braved and nurtured the sector to the 150m industry it represents today".

They have worked closely with me across a range of my clients, from emerging digital spenders of Mars to the digital savvy Microsoft. Throughout both the planning and buying process, Generator have assisted me with delivering not only brand awareness, but engagement solutions that are fully accountable, cost effective campaigns.

"Eirborne has developed a widget that enables users to send and receive mobile text messages from their social networking sites. Eirborne's widget has been approved by Bebo and we are now running a fully integrated ad campaign on Bebo Ireland, UK, USA and Australia. The campaign is a major success with Bebo users now using the widget to send over 1m text messages per month."
Gerard O'Keeffe
Eirborne

"Bebo is one of the most interesting and pervasive things to happen to the youth media sector in Ireland since the emergence of the independent radio sector in the 1980's. And with hundreds of thousands of Irish teenagers using it is 'the' place where opinions are formed and society is shaped for the youth market - no other media channel can compete with this.

The campaigns we have run on Bebo have been hugely effective in meeting our objectives, where we have seen real engagement with the advertising in a trackable and meaningful way."

Justin Cullen
Managing Director, Net Behaviour

"We are very happy with the level of responses Bebo and Generator have generated for the Irish Eragon Movie launch.

From a media perspective, the difference between this and other campaigns we've run was the level of interaction with the target audience.

The home page presence on Bebo drove the target audience to the microsite/profile for the movie where they left messages, comments and discussed the film!"
