“The strategy session that Allyson did for us at the IOD was excellent — she did a great job yet again. Apart from the fact that she knows the topic so well, what makes her teaching so fantastic is that she is really 'in to' what she does and all the examples and anecdotes make it so interesting. She also makes it so relevant — I came away with loads of thoughts on what BUPA Hospitals needs to think about. Excellent stuff and well done.”
— Alison Platt, Director of Service Delivery, BUPA

“The marketing help which International Marketing Partners has given us has been immensely valuable — the workshop they created and led for our senior management team was energetic and engaging, leaving us all with insights and value.

— Alliance Boots Pharmacy

“Initially we chose Allyson Stewart-Allen due to her exceptional intercultural and marketing expertise to be the Programme Director of our in-house Management Development Programme for our senior executives. But what we got was far more than just her remarkable functional competence: the design and delivery of the 12 residential days were simply excellent. The faculty was very well briefed, the content perfectly customized and the participating top managers found the appropriate surrounding to “stretch” themselves. I very rarely experience such a high process quality and outstanding residual impact.”
— Péter Brantzen, Programme Manager, Lufthansa School of Business

“As our Program Director on behalf of our first-ever management development program, we were very fortunate to have in Allyson a superbly responsive and energetic professional. Her contribution as program director for our London Business School curriculum was invaluable and helped ensure we had the successful program we'd all hoped for. I couldn't recommend her enough...”
— Margaretta Noonan, COO, Hudson Highland Group

“International Marketing Partners' excellent presentation was exactly in line with our brief, and then some. The background research they conducted made all the difference, and Allyson Stewart-Allen inspired our colleagues while testing some of their assumptions about marketing — it was a very valuable session and glad we used their help.”
— Ged Quinn, Principal, Mercer
