Stormseal founder Matt Lennox said, “Within a very tight timeframe, the gemaker team absorbed our information dump, digested it and then dug deeper to ensure that they could present the best case for Government funding of our startup. Natalie and her crew devoted themselves to aiding Stormseal with extraordinary dedication and hard work.
“gemaker’s thorough research, strategic approach and high quality writing paid off: Stormseal was awarded a $450,000 ACG in April 2016. The importance of this funding to Stormseal cannot be overstated.
“We were so impressed that we subsequently appointed gemaker as Stormseal’s primary commercialisation advisors. gemaker has provided us with PR management and a wide range of marketing and communication services, as well as intellectual property advice and other business development support. They continue to refine our branding and messaging and are constantly seeking new opportunities to promote Stormseal’s success in Australia and overseas. We are extremely satisfied with their services and feel that these critical aspects of Stormseal’s development are in very safe hands.”
