Our FMCG Client Feedback

“Vision One were excellent to work with throughout the process. They understood our brand and its needs and took on feedback to make changes where necessary. We’re very happy with the level of insight gained.”

Salcombe Gin

“Absolutely no dislikes. Vision One is diligent from beginning to end on all projects that have undertaken with us. They take the time to learn about our products and solutions and markets. Vision One are known at Pitney Bowes globally as an extension to our European Marketing Team rather than a vendor/supplier who is providing a service.”
