TESTIMONIALS

I have done 3 shoots with core magazine now and a couple of little adverts and the end result has been amazing! Such a great team they have between Bec, Norina, Rach and the rest of the team. All articles I have featured in I have been very happy with especially the images. It is great to get out to the community all your hard work you have put in over the years and by having Core recognise you is great.

Danielle Shea - Airlie Beach Babysitting

Core Life Magazine thoroughly looked after our business needs from a marketing and advertising point of view.
Bec and the team listened to the message we wanted to say and how we wanted to say it.
From there, they took a professional but personal approach to get our business portrayed the way we wanted in each advertising campaign.
We really enjoy tabling ideas to keep new, fresh and relative messages through the Core Life Magazine in hard-copy and more so lately online formats.

Dan Zealand - Whitsunday Martial Arts

Advertising through Core over the last 10 years has been one of the best decisions I have made.
Core has given me the opportunity to not only advertise my integrative medicine services, they have allowed me to use the magazine
as a platform to help others by providing health advice. From stories of my cancer patients to success with fertility, we have had many happy results to share and Core is always my choice. This platform allows me to show to my local community that there is hope when we put effort into our health. Thank you Core!
