to share what our clients are saying

Client Love:
Hear What They Have To Say!

- Andrew Flatt

Marketing Director | Desert & Delta Safaris Botswana

We have worked with Lauren and her team for 2 and a half years and have thoroughly enjoyed the relationship. Lauren's commitment to her clients is unwavering and her passion for bringing strategy & creativity together, to help tell engaging and inspiring stories is evident in all of our interactions with her. Her work speaks for itself. With a keen eye for digital trends and an ability to manage multiple platforms, her contribution is felt. I can highly recommend AdBox for those seeking digital marketing assistance in the tourism & media industries.

Nicholas Best

Former Commercial Director | The Latitude Hotels | Zambia, Malawi & Uganda

Finding people and organisations to creatively collaborate with when your business has a reputation for staying ahead of the curve isn't easy. Lauren and her Team at AdBox have embraced the Latitude brand philosophy and really gone out of their way to ensure that even our craziest ideas are presented well to our wider audiences. Their "Let's do it!" attitude is refreshing, and was evident throughout the build-up and activation of a 24hour social impact event recently, that required some very out-of-the-box research and thinking! As one of AdBox's newer clients, we are certainly looking forward to a long and exciting relationship, and to taking our communications offering to even higher levels!

Johan Klang

General Manager | Radisson Blu

Lauren, through her company AdBox, provided marketing and brand consultancy for Radisson Blu Hotel, Lusaka for three years. Her key achievements included developing local marketing strategies, launching community events like Battle of the Bands, rebranding the hotel restaurant, and planning events that increased customer traffic and revenue. She also represented the hotel at regional meetings. The partnership ended in April 2020 due to COVID-19 budget constraints, with Radisson Blu highly recommending Lauren and her team for their valuable support.

Vincent Kouwenhoven

Founder | Green Safaris Zambia & Malawi

Lauren and her team have been part of Green Safaris since our inception in 2016, initially supporting us with social media management and design. Over time, her role has evolved significantly. Her team played a key role in the strategic rebranding of our entire Case Studies. Today, Lauren leads our marketing department, where she is responsible for developing strategic marketing plans, managing budgets, overseeing digital marketing, website and collateral development, content creation across all platforms, and our presence on OTA channels. She also works closely with our sales and reservations teams to drive both local and international bookings. In addition, Lauren continues to implement improved solutions for our workflow and the measurement of ROI, helping us make more informed, results-driven decisions. It's clear that AdBox has a deep understanding of the tourism industry, and I can confidently recommend Lauren and her team.

Questions clients ask

Clear answers before we begin.

What does a marketing consultancy do?

A marketing consultancy helps a business decide who to reach, what to communicate and where to focus its effort. At AdBox, strategy connects audience insight and brand positioning with a practical plan for content, channels and campaigns.

Can AdBox help with ongoing marketing management?

Yes. We work on focused strategy projects and ongoing marketing management. The agreed scope can connect planning, content, creative work, campaigns and reporting, depending on what your business needs.

Do you work with an existing in-house team?

We can work alongside your team, bringing strategic direction and specialist support. We agree responsibilities and approvals so the work supports the people already running your business.

How do you measure marketing performance?

We agree objectives and measures that fit the work. These may include relevant enquiries, campaign engagement, website behaviour and business outcomes. We distinguish channel activity from confirmed sales or bookings.

What affects the cost and timing of a project?

The scope, research required, channels, creative deliverables and level of ongoing support all affect cost and timing. A first conversation helps define the brief before a scope is agreed.
