Testimonials
“Working with Anna at Maidstone Newsie has been one of the best decisions I made when setting up my community group Surge.
Anna really understood the needs of which advertising would work best for my groups, to specifically target the right communities. I felt listened to, and made to feel that what I wanted and needed were important.
I was on a strict budget when I started out, and couldn’t afford expensive advertising overheads. I can’t express just how reasonable Maidstone Newsie is, the amount of work that went into my campaigns really was the best value advertising I’ve found out there.
Anna’s knowledge was a real asset to me, and I really look forward to working much more with her in the future.”
Heather – Senior Instructor, Surge Self Defence
