“It is impossible to go past the dynamic duo of Monica and Ben at Halibut Creative. I have never worked with a designer like Monica before where she gets what I want the first time, every time and then makes what I want even better than I thought it could be.
Taking a project to Halibut Creative is an invitation for them to join your team – they treat the project like it is their own and become fully invested. They are fast, produce high quality work and have a big picture approach – everything that a design agency should be.
Halibut Creative stand out from the rest because of their incredible design skills, but also for their friendly and down to earth approach. I don’t think I have ever worked with a design company before that would happily meet me in the supermarket car park to drop off beautifully designed printing as I was busy managing my work/life balance! Importantly, they are also just great people, committed to the community and a whole lot of fun.”

“Halibut staff are readily available. Although we’re based in Hobart and they’re in Launceston this has never been an impediment to our working relationship. We maximise the use of technology to facilitate works flows. Monica is always ready to discuss any work in progress to the extent of travelling down if it’s an advantage, particularly to develop new or larger scale projects. We can still get personal service despite the distance between our two businesses.
Halibut will often point out better or easier ways of doing things which is appreciated.
We don’t always have multiple projects on the go but when there are Halibut manage all the requirements easily. File exchanges are easy and timely. We’re very satisfied with the quality, timeliness and cost effectiveness of the services provided.”

"Working with Monica and Ben from Halibut has been a pleasure from start to end. Their quote was highly competitive, their pitch professional yet very personal, their design work exquisite and nothing was ever too difficult and all delivered on time. They have exceeded my expectations with every project and interaction I have had with them and I thank them for consistently delivering high quality product and making my life easier during the whole process."

“We have found Halibut to be very prompt, professional and friendly and a pleasure to deal with. Halibut enables our business to have cost-effective access to high quality design and print services. We regularly get positive feedback on the quality of our reports and publications. I would highly recommend Halibut to businesses looking for a professional touch.”

“Halibut are fantastic. I've worked closely with them (and by that I mean nearly daily…) over the past four years and really appreciate the quality of their work and the quick turnaround time. As they really know our business and it has literally saved weeks of my time in writing briefs etc. They're accessible, reliable and fun!”
Megan Brown
Manager Communications, City of Launceston
“We have been engaging the services of Halibut for over 12 months now and couldn’t be happier.
We particularly value the relationship we have developed with Halibut, which I would describe as flexible, based on trust and operating in a client focused way. As a consultancy business we work across a range of industry sectors, therefore our needs are often just as diverse.
Monica has an impressive ability to take our conceptual ideas, work her creative magic and present back to us solutions exceeding our expectations every time. Halibut have proven time and again the capacity to work to short timelines, often at only a days notice!
We base our 3p consultancy business on a “can do” approach and put a high level of commitment and energy into the work we undertake with our 3p clients, so it is refreshing to be able to work with Halibut who demonstrate the same philosophy in their work and business. And, let’s face it, a sense of humour and a joke doesn’t go astray either, especially when under pressure with tight deadlines, we get all this and more from Halibut – energy, fun and most importantly, the highest standard of work in all the documents they design for us.
We have, and will continue to refer Halibut to our network of clients and associates.”

"I really enjoy working with Ben and Monica from Halibut. I find they are very creative, and really have a fresh approach to marketing and branding.
The main benefit I have found from our relationship, is the regular catch ups we have to continually refine what we do in the marketing space. With the marketing methods changing so rapid, achieving clear communication through many mediums becomes critical. Halibut is a key strategic partner for my business."

“Their personalized service, can-do attitude and flexibility are just a few of the things we love about Halibut Creative.
Monica’s ability to quickly understand the subject (even when it’s technical), as well as the audience, has helped us improve our communications material and messages so they really hit the target.
Ben’s great networks with suppliers and printers also makes our life easier – we only have to deal with Halibut, and can trust that they know the best printers and the best prices for various jobs.”
