Creative Space Architecture invested in a 12mth campaign with Uno which was a real boost for our brand and business. The feedback to our profile articles was fantastic, and we saw a big jump in our website visitors, social media Followers and new client enquiries each time we appeared in the publication.
I truly appreciated the exposure, and can recommend Uno as an excellent marketing partner for building a high quality brand with an equally high quality audience.

Until recently, I chose to fly under the radar when it came to my business so I took a big leap of faith when I signed up to work with UNO Magazine. I had always loved the magazine, it's easy to read style and superb content so I knew that it would be a great magazine to align with. The team at UNO made it really easy from the get go, using professionals to ease me into the 'public eye' slowly. Rebecca and Michele have been so supportive and are passionate about my message. They listen to my ideas and go out of their way to help. The quality of writers, editors and photographers is top notch and now that I'm writing my own column, they leave me to be creative and trust me to provide excellent, engaging content for their readers.
I feel lucky to be aligned to them and look forward to continuing my relationship with them in the years to come.
