The person behind it
 After working with numerous local, national and international companies over the years, award winning entrepreneur Yvette Adams of the Creative Collective has recognized that many businesses she deals with on a consultancy and project basis day to day are struggling to keep up with the pace at which the internet is developing, or take advantage of the opportunities it presents to the average business owner.
“I have seen some extremely marketable and potentially extremely successful businesses stay in bottom gear year in and year out by sticking to the same old traditional marketing strategies because they are too scared to try new things or too busy to look into new things. We're now living in a completely different business environment where as a business owner you simply have to acknowledge the strong part websites and online marketing now play in the success of your business long term, and where there are numerous much more innovative and cost effective strategies available to you that you really should be making a priority to get to know and ultimately, using.
I've seen way too many people targeting a relatively small target market because they simply didn't know how to tap into others, spend hours and hours or thousands of dollars on opportunities which I could have told them right from the outset won't give them a great return on investment, burn out, get started and then get side-tracked or just be all talk and no walk because they've not been able to attract the clients they need to get their businesses running in top gear, accelerating into the future. I'd like to help those who are ready to make a change.”
Yvette combines a 13 year background in PR, marketing, working in international media, freelance writing, web editing, and consulting numerous businesses on their online and offline marketing strategies with phenomenal results (read some of them below).
The winner of the Queensland Small Business Champions Young Entrepreneur of the Year and a finalist in numerous local, regional and national business awards she is now the director of her third start up business, The Creative Collective.
For the first time she is now sharing her extensive and global marketing knowledge through the 10 week SEO Olympics - a must for business owners and managers seeking support, guidance, ideas, and results when it comes to the effective search engine optimisation of their website.

“In just 4 short months, Yvette has managed to turn our business around from someone who had been seriously shafted by our existing web developer and ready to throw in the towel, to owners of a website with huge improvements on the original one, and now enjoying huge dividends. We've tripled our database from 600 to 2075 in this first quarter, set up an emarketing system which we don't know what we would do without now, and grown our online sales from $2000 a month to $6000 a month. We've also gone from not even featuring on the front page of Google for numerous highly competitive words. This is just so exciting. we can't recommend Yvette highly enough.”

“I've never felt confident that I truly had a handle on my company's marketing – so many options, so little time and other pulls as a busy business owner, and so much money spent ‘trying things out' and gaining ‘brand awareness.' Working with Yvette we've gone from having very little idea about what types of marketing were really available to us (especially online), or whether the ones we were using were working for us, how much to pay or how to measure what was going on with our business and a database of 2000 and an annual online sales turnover of $6000 to a well thought out and well executed marketing plan which is fully tracked, fully measurable and which achieves far better results than we ever dreamed possible.
In just 9 months of working with Yvette we've now got a database of 5800, online sales of $75,000 in the first 3 quarters of the financial year and so many prospective educators we've had to tell Yvette to put a lid on it for a while so we can catch up!!
The best thing of all is that our whole sales process has been streamlined to one which required a lot of time, staff and financial commitment to one which can run on auto pilot – we literally took a long break over summer and things just ticked along nicely with prospective educator leads and product orders continuing to flow in, autoresponders managing them and many of those leads taking the desired action without any actual human interface required! Talk about passive income!! We're extremely grateful for the work Yvette has done. Our only regret is that we didn't find her earlier!” - Sylvia Stock, Director, Kindermusik Australia/New Zealand, http://www.kindermusik.com.au |

“I have worked with Yvette as the practice manager of two busy medical practices over a period of three years. Yvette has been extremely respectful and understanding of the unique and highly regulated industry we operate within and has opened our eyes to many innovative strategies available to businesses, including ours. As crazy as at it sounds, it is still not even uncommon for medical practices to even have a website and many do not see the need to market, or only stick to very traditional marketing strategies such as advertising and flyer drops.
Yvette has assisted our practice to become a real pioneer in our industry by introducing various functionalities which have successfully assisted us to grow our patient list, and to service our existing patient list more effectively.
We now have the ability for new patients to register at our practice online and our existing patients to book appointments online – a quick, discreet and easy way for our patients to communicate with us. She has also assisted to develop our brand including expansions within the company, to win business awards by encouraging us to enter relevant awards and assisting us in the application process, developing hugely successful community initiatives and fundraising drives and secure a significant of media coverage and much more! We are so confident in Yvette's abilities we have recommended her to many of our colleagues.” - Nicky Jardine, Practice Manager, Medicine on Second, http://www.medicineonsecond.com.au |

“Although I've only been working with Yvette for 2 months, I already feel like the few changes we've implemented have been EXTREMELY beneficial to our business. We are quite astounded by how subtle the changes can may seem, but how dramatic the effect on the increase in leads and conversions can be - we believe our leads are up 40% and our conversions from prospective to new clients have also dramatically increased. We are very excited about our future relationship with Yvette and The Creative Collective."
