“I selected Cindy and her Asia-Pacific Connections (APC) team to help PopCap to build our brand awareness across the Singapore business and consumer media and blogger communities. Her team won our business based on their proposed creative-campaign strategy that proved they understood our business and had the connections to open doors for us. APC developed strategic editorial content and critical relationships in advance of our launch. They planned and managed our public-relations budget to maximise our exposure – giving strong counsel and providing results-oriented activities that garnered coverage on TV, in the dailies and the top industry publications, as well as on various social-media platforms. Cindy’s enthusiasm, professionalism and get-it-done attitude are qualities that would benefit any client. I would not hesitate to recommend Cindy and her team to companies seeking to launch their brands in Singapore.”

Cathy Orr, International PR Director, PopCap Games

“Asia-Pacific Connections (APC) organised two REC Partner Summits for us in 2010, far surpassing the previous ones we had hosted in terms of the professional organisation of the events.  From the programme planning, event invites and event micro-sites to the registration process, accommodation, food and beverage, and entertainment, APC had a vision and executed it perfectly to the delight of REC management and our guests.

These two Partner Summits were of great value and importance to our company.  We wanted to convince our partners of the quality, professionalism and reliability of our solar-energy facilities, people, processes, and products – and APC was instrumental in making this possible and very successful.

Cindy has a strong team with great individual performers resulting in top-notch reviews in our post-event survey for seasoned partners – a key metric for us in evaluating our event partners.  It has been a pleasure working with them all as they consistently demonstrated project ownership – affording us on-time and on-budget programmes.

Cindy’s enthusiasm, strategic thinking, sound counsel, proactive leadership and responsiveness are key qualities any client would seek in a value-added marketing partner.

Our successful relationship will lead to other Marcom/PR/event-related projects going forward and I would highly recommend APC to other clients seeking similar programmes.”

Kristin Blix-Elton, Marketing Director, REC

“Thank you very much for your good work resulting in a very successful media and channel event. We had many new faces from the media so that our event was packed with people. We, indeed, learn a lot from working together with Asia-Pacific Connections and we appreciate your support and enthusiasm.”

Gun Suk Ling, Director of Channel Southeast Asia, Kaspersky Lab

“For six years, Polycom relied on Asia-Pacific Connections’ (APC) project-management expertise for our participation at CommunicAsia. Be it advice on designing the booth, supervising booth build up, or preparing detailed staff manuals, APC’s comprehensive project-management skills and commitment to excellence contributed to the success of our shows, and led to quantifiable results.”

Sue Day, Marketing Director, Asia-Pacific, Polycom, Inc.

“After the merger between HiServ and ThyssenKrupp Information Services Group and during a complex transition period, we appreciated Asia-Pacific Connections’ flexible approach to strategically repositioning our brand in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. They developed and managed all aspects of a series of direct-mail campaigns that contributed significantly to our strengthened position in this dynamic market.”

J. Josef Versl, Managing Director, Triaton Asia

“Asia-Pacific Connections' innovative marketing-consulting and public-relations activities facilitated our branding efforts to become the premiere web-hosting company in Singapore and supported our aggressive expansion throughout Asia-Pacific.”

Rebecca Wan, Vice President, Marketing, Webvisions Pte Ltd

“A results-focused, highly professional, strategic thinker, Cindy is one of the most formidable PR forces I know. She offers her clients sound counsel, and has the ability to think beyond the short term – providing medium- and long-term solutions to client issues and problems, even before they happen! I would highly recommend Cindy and Asia-Pacific Connections.”

Esther Buchsbaum, Owner, Meca Communications

“Cindy and her staff are personable and professional in delivering high-quality marketing-communications services. We hired Asia-Pacific Connections (APC) to run an event for us, and although affiliated with a U.N. organisation, we were unknown, small, understaffed, and novices in the area of event management. Cindy and her team, with their experience and expertise, partnered us to success. Observing Cindy and her company, whilst attending an event they organised as a participant, I was impressed! This led to a partnership, and I must say, she did not disappoint. Cindy and her team are prepared to think out of the box and offer creative solutions tailored to one’s budget – rather than offering a cookie-cutter package. Treating our money like it was their own, the APC team truly maximised our funds – a rare quality in service providers. I would definitely recommend Cindy to anyone in need of a very customised experience to differentiate themselves.”

Jules Takagishi, Business Development Manager, Asia Pacific Post
