Martin’s understanding of brand and reputation, his ability to motivate and inspire those around him, his strong work ethic and high personal values, were key to BT’s success.

Martin’s advice was integral to us launching successfully as a small start up and begin to establish ourselves in a very competitive market. From media relations to branding and naming, Martin really was part of the team and crucial in  getting us up and running in a short period of time.

From my vantage of having worked on communications issues at very senior levels  in Washington, in the Congress,  and Australia, with the office of the Prime Minister,  Martin O’Connor is one of  the most skilled and incisive executives I have encountered.

Martin has an exceptional ability to  communicate and work at all levels, inside and outside the company,  from the most senior CEO and government echelons down to the operational levels in a company or government agency.   He is both a disciplined and creative thinker, and knows how to devise and execute effective and dynamic campaigns across public affairs, media and marketing objectives.  

Martin also has very strong personal and professional values, and is an individual of the highest integrity.  He is an especially decent person.

Martin O’Connor is the best coach that I have ever had the privilege to both hire as a speaker and to be coached by! His examples were all very well chosen and relevant.

He has a great sense of humour and uses it skilfully. Martin is a seasoned and experienced trainer and presenter who takes any audience by storm!

I have known Martin O'Connor for twenty years as one of his clients.  
As Chair of Hill and Knowlton, I have stayed close to Martin and  since then and I have come to understand that he is more than an accomplished communications professional but a strong guide to management on how to create success. He does so with charm, a deep professionalism based in experience and an ability to coach senior management teams how to be effective. Beyond his acumen, Martin has extraordinary integrity and loyalty to colleagues and the clients he advises.

Martin really helped me as a business owner to be able to think through some business and communications issues and to develop more clarity on a way forward.

Added to this his meetings were also fun and enjoyable but powerfully meaningful and memorable  from a business perspective
