Shell
"Shell have had the opportunity to work with MSc in the area of Print Management which was a very complex project with more than 15 countries involved. MSc has driven the project starting from the evaluation of the alternative models in the print market to running the tender for Shell in Europe and negotiating and finalizing the contract. The greatest benefit to Shell was to be able to see the different options in the market and make the best decision in relation to way Shell operates in Europe with more than 15 countries. The people in the project team in MSc worked as members of the Shell project team and helped us achieve great savings and delivered a very complex implementation plan. After 4 years, we are still working with MSc in quite a few projects which shows how happy we are with MSc's performance overall."

SABMiller
"MSc supported us in our challenge to improve marketing spend effectiveness and build capabilities for systemic process changes. In this regard they helped us develop toolkits in the following areas: (i) Agency Management - optimizing the way we engage and manage our agencies to ensure collaborative and strategic partnerships; (ii) Artwork Production - optimizing core processes to save time & reduce costs and (iii) Activity Cost Breakdowns - standardizing the way costs are presented and separated out to improve transparency and visibility of spend on marketing production. The toolkits are intended to provide a simple framework and guidelines to our local markets, containing not only theory but also best practice examples used today around the world. In addition to the development of the toolkits, MSc developed training materials and assisted in the roll-out to help embed these good practice principles at a market level. We were very extremely pleased with the working relationship and performance of MSc."
