All About You
(clients, references, and more)

Are you among these..?

I work with advertising agencies, graphic design agencies, marcomms agencies, business owners, marketing/communications managers, PR consultants, direct marketing specialists, publishing houses, individuals and web experts. Quite a list. But the type of projects handled is even longer! Best leave that for the services page.

See below for what people are saying about MediaMinister (my trading name) services.

Previous projects include the design, editing and production of an extensive range of publications and website content for a variety of UK and international clients – from those in the hi-tech and health industries, through to consumer communications and business-to-business.

What my clients are saying about my services

Excuse me while we get on the podium and indulge in a little modesty. I'm ecstatic that others have taken to blowing my trumpet. Believe me, I don't 'sell myself' well — just the products and services of my clients. So I'm off the hook there, then.

Here’s a selection of my favourite client testimonials:

"Incredibly easy to work with"
"Tracey did a fantastic job on the copy for my website. She made sure that she had a thorough understanding of my goals and produced dynamic, fresh copy which definitely sparkled! She also gave me some good marketing ideas, and all this well before the deadline we had agreed. She was incredibly easy to work with throughout the project, and I would recommend her without hesitation."

– Steven Muir, Director, Coach to Reach

Very impressive!
"Don't be put off by the slick marketing. Tracey Dooley is very good at what she does. Fastidious, meticulous, fussy, nit-picking, rigorous, and a real stickler for detail — she'd never let us get away with writing a sentence like this! I'd have no hesitation in recommending her to any editor, and indeed already have. Very impressive!"

– Andy Sivell, Publisher, Working Titles Publishing
   
"I found the best!"
“Excellent work. I read every e-mail [of yours] twice to make sure that I [was] working with [a] professional – everything was perfect, so I knew that I [had] found the best. You made a lot of creative comments and I’ve accepted all of them. [You offer] the best support possible.”

– Yaraslau Levashkevich, Ajaxium  
      
"Thorough, detailed, extremely professional"
”The work Tracey did for us was thorough, detailed, extremely professional and, even though Tracey was given very short notice, she met with our tight deadlines. We certainly would recommend MediaMinister services…”

–  Jean Bartlett, Director, The Bag Lady
   
"All round...fantastic!"
“The service I received was timely, professional, consistent and clear. The editing reflected a thorough response to the material presented, which provided me with an opportunity for further reflection and thought. All round…fantastic!”

– K, MA student

"Thanks for doing a top-notch job"
“I have worked with Tracey Dooley on a variety of sub-editing projects and she has been a regular member of our team on Men’s Fitness and will continue to be. Her friendly nature and dedicated professionalism make her a pleasure to work with, and Tracey’s strict attention to detail is, in her own words, ‘down to having an almost unnatural obsession with words and accuracy’! Needless to say, she doesn’t shy away from hard work. Thanks, Tracey, for doing a top-notch job. Keep up the good work.”

– P Wagstaff, Chief Sub-Editor, Men's Fitness magazine, Dennis Publishing 
   
"On my A-list — I'd definitely recommend Tracey"
“Tracey Dooley has worked with us on many occasions now - often at very short notice. Ours is an extremely fast-paced working environment, but Tracey always gets stuck in…She's been equally able to turn her hand to subbing [copy-editing and proofreading] true-life stories, fashion, beauty, food, homes, celeb interviews and puzzles. She has picked up both our working system and unique down-to-earth style very quickly. Most importantly, Tracey is a pleasure to work with — crucial in such a busy department! She gets on really well with all kinds of people, joins in office banter — but still knows when to 'get her head down' if the pressure's on. I initially booked Tracey as a 'friend of a friend' - which can sometimes backfire! But in this case, I'm delighted to have found another excellent freelance sub to keep on my A-list. I'd definitely recommend Tracey to anyone.”

– Hayley Fowler, Chief Sub-Editor, Chat, IPC Media Ltd
 
"We always enjoy working with you"
“Tracey has been a freelance copyeditor and proofreader for Centaur Communications on FitnessFocus and PropertyFocus (supplemental publications to the leading industry magazine Leisure & Hospitality Business) since mid-2001. She is thorough, detail-orientated and, because of this and her calm demeanour, we always enjoy working with her.”

– Tara Srinivasan, Group Production Editor, Leisure & Hospitality Business, Centaur Communications
