Ruth Cobb | chief executive | PrintNZ
I have worked with both Dave and Iain MacIntyre for 20-plus years across a number of not-for-profit-industry associations/events that we are responsible for. They have an incredible ability to take snippets of ideas/information and mold them into stories, articles, newsletters and PR that hit exactly the right spot.
Their time-keeping skills ensure that they keep you on track to meet your deadlines and their journalism talents are first-class. They have the ability to cover a broad range of work, across some very technical subjects and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Michelle Taylor | president | Maritime Law Association of Australia and New Zealand (MLAANZ)
MLAANZ first engaged MacIntyre Public Relations for the creation of the first Semaphore (a quarterly E-newsletter) in July 2014. In close co-operation with successive MLAANZ presidents, the relationship has evolved to include regular E-notice drafting/publication, website development/management, advertisement design/placement, administration management and most recently overseeing the design, printing and delivery to Australia of the 2022 MLAANZ National Conference programme themed “Sustainability in Shipping”.
During my time as president of MLAANZ, Iain’s experience and skill in planning, writing and the production of Semaphore has ensured its outstanding quality in content and publication. Dave is also a regular article contributor to Semaphore, including covering the annual New Zealand Branch conferences.
In addition, Iain has provided invaluable support to MLAANZ through the management of regular updates to the website and ensuring that E-alerts to industry are sent that are relevant and timely. I highly recommend Iain – his professionalism is exceptional and his dedication unwavering. I wish Iain every success.

Carly Fields | editor | Shipping Network, The Sea, Marine Professional, The Baltic and Breakbulk magazines
As the editor for numerous maritime publications, I have called on Dave and Iain MacIntyre repeatedly over the past two decades to provide features for my global magazines. They are enthusiastic, tenacious and curious, they understand the importance of meeting deadlines and they have an enviable cache of contacts that they draw upon to inform their articles.
While we are based at opposite ends of the globe, that has never posed a problem as they have consistently and adeptly interpreted my remotely-delivered briefs. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for focused and knowledgeable professional journalists.

Pete Roberts | director | Packaworld
While preparing for an important product demonstration, the idea of having a professional handout arose at the eleventh hour. Iain was able to painlessly take me through the options and progressively convert my online offering into a professionally written, designed and printed gatefold flyer. All was achieved in close collaboration and within one week from start to finish.
Not only was the brochure well received, the content has been used to inform the Packaworld website and helped with articulating our products’ value proposition. It’s refreshing to work with an organisation which has the same "attention to detail" philosophy.

Logistics & Transport NZ
I have commissioned the MacIntyres on numerous occasions during my seven-year tenure as editor of FTD,
New Zealand’s only B2B trade magazine devoted to logistics and supply chain management, and in recent years as editor of NZ Construction News, a publication that enjoys a great deal of respect within the infrastructure industry. Both Iain and David possess an in-depth knowledge and experience of these industries, and are highly professional in every aspect of their work. Their material is well researched and written, and is always delivered on time.

Gary Osborne | general manager | APN Print Operations Australia
For many years we at APN Print, a division of APN News and Media, have been using MacIntyre Public Relations for all things editorial. Every six weeks or so we print a nice staff in-house newspaper of about 16 to 32 tabloid pages. The print managers and staff from both New Zealand and Australia simply hand on their stories to Dave and Iain and the result is always a great looking paper with little fuss. The PDFs arrive back on time and ready to hit the press.
Helen Mallon | administration manager | BRANZ
I have been delighted with the services of MacIntyre PR who we have called on to undertake a variety of sub-editing, writing and design work for us. From the initial contact through to completion I have received prompt, professional service. In one particular case I called on Iain to pull a rabbit out of a hat with an urgent (less than 24 hour) turnaround for a large job, and he came through in trumps. Iain has also worked together with me on a project to develop a newsletter for the football club I am president of and the final result was spectacular. I would not hesitate to recommend MacIntyre PR to any prospective client. (September 2013) BRANZ
Darren Walton | (now former) research and evaluation manager |
Health Promotion Agency
MacIntyre Public Relations have provided high-quality, fast and efficient delivery of graphic design, layout, publication support, and editorial contributions. The best feature of the team is their ability to adapt to our circumstances and respond with a matching professional service. I have and will continue to strongly recommend them to other organisations.
Dave Southwood | (now former) chartering manager | Seatrade NZ
Seatrade has engaged Dave and Iain MacIntyre to sub-edit and design a regular customer newsletter on our behalf since early 2009. They were readily able to replicate our international corporate style in the design and have continuously provided us with a prompt turnaround and professional service.
Steve Crowe | (now former) editor | ProPrint (Australia)
During my tenure as editor of ProPrint magazine, I used the services of MacIntyre Public Relations and in particular Iain MacIntyre, to supply news and feature story editorial and photographs for use in the magazine on a regular basis. I found Iain and MacIntyre Public Relations to be real professionals in all our dealings. Iain was well entrenched in the NZ print industry, understood it well and always supplied entertaining, accurate copy. He was one of the magazine's real assets in its news gathering and coverage.
Sue Foley | (now former) corporate affairs manager | Toll NZ
While I was GM of Corporate Affairs at Toll NZ I used MacIntyre PR for a number of writing projects and they also completed a fortnightly online staff newsletter. They were extremely professional and easy to work with and I was impressed with how well they worked under often extremely tight time deadlines. Both Dave and Iain have strong writing skills and have a strong understanding of both corporate and media needs relating to the work they do.
