“Plato effectively understand their client’s needs, processes and ways of working in order to better deliver against goals and objectives. Plato Communications is a vital partner to Kraft Foods South Africa. They are an excellent cultural fit and constantly deliver exceptional results”

"Plato’s performance at Cadbury/ Kraft/ Mondelez has been excellent and she has delivered an outstanding ROI year after year. In addition she has always been one of the most awarded agencies at the National Prism awards for PR excellence, an excellent performance given the size of her agency relative to the bigger players she is competing against. Plato were always intricately involved in all brand activities and thus deliver fully integrated PR activities in a quick and proficient manner. The service we received from Plato far exceeded our expectations. Mondelez is very lucky to have Susan and Plato communications as part of their broader marketing team. They might be a small PR agency but they have the clout of all the big guys."

“....and lastly, attaching one really joyful Launch Plan from our very own South Africa...”

"Well done to the Plato Team for the great PR amplification work on Magnum Joburg. Plato's launch event and great media, celebrity and blogger network resulted in an exceptional kick-off. With an excellent turnout and the fun had by all resulting in great articles and the seeds of some partnerships with social media that grew over the 8 week activation. Plato have the rare ability to combine strategic and creative thinking with a can-do attitude and staff who are committed, engaging and positive."

"I have worked with many PR companies over the years (and grown a successful Reputation Management Business in our group of companies) but can think of few businesses that have a better consumer PR approach than Plato. Plato's combination of experienced, strategic professionals and energetic, committed relationship builders, enables them to provide a wholistic service for consumer brands. We have worked with Plato on numerous campaigns and their input has always influenced both the creative idea and the implementation plan, positively. The media amplification has been targeted and substantial. They have been wonderful PR partners and I would recommend them to anyone with FCMG products that need to connect with consumers and earn media."

"Every time I receive an email or a special delivery from the Plato Communications team, I can’t wait to open it to find out what new adventure/experience/product is being launched, because you know that their work stands out. The gifts they send and competitions they run and allow me to run on my various platforms such as my radio show, Vanilla Blonde blog, social media etc are always so thoughtful and well packaged. The team is dynamic, innovative, creative, original, exciting and full of fun, whilst being absolutely professional and efficient. Working with them is always a pleasure."

"I have dealt with Susan Krause in her various public relations positions, with Cadbury, then Kraft, then Mondelez, for the best part of a decade and have always found her and her team to be consummate professionals.  Emails are acknowledged on receipt and deadlines respected. My questions are usually somewhat forthright - given that as a consumer columnist people write to me about the problems and concerns they have with products - and I appreciate the fact that her responses are detailed and do not avoid "awkward" elements of my query, which is frustratingly common with corporates. In short, she is a pleasure to deal with. I know that if I get a complaint or query about a Kraft product, I can rely on a quick, professional response."
