Results = Client Satisfaction

“We wanted to expand from Europe into the lucrative US wireless operator market, and we decided to engage Michele Carroll to open up doors in the US. She set up a lot of meetings with the right people, and we got our first large software deal in North America out of Michele's introductions. I would recommend her highly.”

Oliver Cavanaugh, Changing Worlds

"Michele provided a remarkable service that was over and above what I expected. Her results orientated nature and personable approach made her a joy to work with. When you add in Michele's energy, enthusiasm and "can do" attitude, together with her endless contacts, then she really does become a necessary asset for any company looking to break new ground in the US."

Aaron Taylor, CEO IM Creative

“New media and cross platform funding for productions to be distributed via TV/Web/Mobile is an extremely difficult area to break in to as a new company. Michele worked tirelessly to bridge the gap between Ireland and the US to make these introductions and has generated good leads, some of which, contact will be continued to establish possible co-production opportunities.”

Chris Martin, ULBFF Executive Producer, Filmtrip

“I don't make a habit of recommending people but in Michele's case I was happy to break with tradition. It was a 'last minute' request and Michele was recommended to me as we had been let down by our usual partner. Michele did a superb job in developing our itinerary, in a very short period (1 week), arranging meetings with the key decision makers and kept us informed on progress on a daily basis.”

Gary Hamilton, CEO Omiino Ltd

“Refreshing to work with someone who gets a hold of the brief, lays out ambitious timelines and then delivers. Michele and her team are effective, professional and a pleasure to work with. I will be engaging Carrollco's services again.”

Brian O’Neill, CEO Documatics
