So view these comments from John’s clients and see what an instant difference he makes to anyone’s business.
“I first started working with John 3 years ago on the first of many research projects my company has conducted for the Greater Building Society. John is a quite extraordinary marketer, retail specialist and advertiser, probably the best combination of the three that I have come across in 35 years in Advertising and 30 (concurrent) years in Research and Strategy! John is also a great visualiser and an excellent promotions and display designer.
As the creator of the ‘Free Holiday With Every Home Loan’ for the Greater Building Society (and co-producer of the TV advertisements), John should be very proud that the Greater Building Society consistently records the ‘highest unaided advertising awareness of any brand in its marketplace!’ I know this, because I’m the one who conducts these research studies.
The Greater has an astonishing 72% unaided awareness in the Hunter region and an amazing 56% in the Wollongong region, even though it has been operating on the South Coast for only 2 years! Even more remarkable is that the related specific and correct advertising message recall of John’s campaigns is the highest I have ever seen! (56% average across markets). I also work with John on research projects for other clients such as Parramatta Leagues Club, and really like the way he works to ensure that our research has a commercial outcome which can bring about extra profits for businesses.
Most entrepreneurs and consultants that I have met, lack John’s sense of humour, spontaneity and rapid-fire creativity – which is why I hope to work with him for a long time to come!
(Chris is Principal and Managing Director of Interface Research and Strategy Pty Ltd and has previously been Vice-President International and Managing Director of Young & Rubicam Advertising Agencies in Melbourne and Sydney – and Managing Director of The Campaign Palace, Sydney)
I’ve known John for several years and have a great deal of respect for his entrepreneurial and marketing skills.
As General Manager for Hot Tomato Radio Station on the Gold Coast, I have engaged John’s services on numerous occasions, to stimulate both listening audiences and advertising revenue.
His value to our radio station in both areas has been significant and we are keen supporters of his “wow factor” marketing philosophy.
Indeed, our station won a “2005 Industry Award” for a client Sales Promotion co-designed with John.
John was instrumental in helping us design a unique “radio/Direct Mail Advertising Package” to businesses recently, acting as a keynote speaker at our Sales Presentations to business owners. The result was a staggering $1.4 million in advertising sales in just 5 days!
John’s ability to provide businesses with “instant sales generating concepts” sets him apart from any other Advertising or Marketing person I’ve met.
He’s quick, creative and he delivers.
I know that his experience covers a multitude of industries, hence why I have no hesitation in calling him for marketing advice when my Station’s clients need help with building sales.
His “wow factor” enthusiasm is infectious and he’s genuine in his desire to deliver outstanding results. He’s a strategic thinker who knows the tricks of creating instant sales as well as long term repetitive sales
“John has been involved with the Greater Building Society now for over 5 years, in which time he has secured his position as a valuable asset to the company. At the highest level, John is the major contributor to the Society’s strategic marketing direction. Additionally, he is heavily involved in most aspects of the ‘hands on’ day-to-day advertising and marketing duties.
John has exceptional skills which are held in high regard by Management. He ensures that all our advertising is relevant, has a ‘call to action’ and that we are able to measure the results. John has been able to help the Society lower our “operational costs” of advertising services, because he has personally taken on a multi-task role.
John’s strategic skills and creative input has seen the Society reposition itself in the market and the Greater is now perceived to be a more vibrant and progressive organisation than it was previously.
This image has been further enhanced by his ‘Greater Getaways’ free holiday promotion, where we offer free holidays to people taking out a home loan. Strategically, John has underpinned this free holiday offer with other values, delivered by customer testimonials – which have ensured the ongoing success of the campaign.
As John frequently reminds us, the real proof is in the results, and the results have been absolutely spectacular, with our home loan lending figures being double the industry growth of the recent boom years.
The Greater’s major competitor, another Newcastle-based building society, has reported home loan approvals approximately 30% higher than the Greater’s for many years – until now. In the first year of the Greater free holiday campaign, the Greater made up this gap and out-lent its major competitor considerably!
John has also been instrumental in helping the Society to expand its branch network into new geographical regions. He has provided strategic input via geo-demographic mapping and research, helping us pinpoint the best locations for expanding our branch network. John has made a significant contribution to the success that our Society has enjoyed in recent years and is extremely highly respected by Senior Management. We stand as living proof that ‘marketing strategy with “wow factor” really does work’”.
“I have known John for over 20 years and have worked with him on countless innovative marketing projects. I am pleased to call him both a work colleague and a trusted friend.
He has many outstanding characteristics, including a work ethic second-to-none. He bases all his projects on sound research, analysis and strategy – and has an uncanny knack of “cutting through the clutter” to get to the heart of the project.
John also believes in delivering results, understanding that a business has to sell product at the same time as building a brand. He is not a marketer out to win “flashy awards”, but takes great pride in having delivered some of the most successful campaigns ever stages in Australia. I happen to know that his “Channel 9 Big News Game” broke world TV ratings records, as I was working with him on the project at the time. I also know that he holds world sales records with other innovative marketing projects he has worked on.
John has a great all-round skill-set that covers all aspects of the Advertising/Marketing mix, including TV, radio and print production, direct mail, copywriting and strategic planning. He has built an enviable reputation and is held in high regard with clients all around Australia. I still gain consultancy regularly on major projects. He never fails to bring valuable things to the table.
Having worked with John over the years, I have personally learned a lot from him, not the least of which is “to always over deliver to a client”. He taught me to always give more than is expected and to always look for “the wow factor” in every marketing initiative. He pushes the envelope unlike any other Advertising person I have met.
I have particularly high regard for his wonderful TV show project, called “Dreams Can Come True”. This series of television specials with Channel 10 was groundbreaking television in that it was the forerunner in the mid-90s for the many reality programs that were to follow. It was truly inspirational TV at its very best!
Above all, John is one of the most honest and generous people I have had the pleasure to work with and I hope to continue to do so for a long time to come.
“Sports Direction was contracted by the Australian Rugby League in the 90s, looking after the management of its licensing program. I worked closely with John when he was granted a licence for Rugby League trading cards in 1994. John introduced bold and exciting initiatives to the licensed trading card product, vastly improving it from the previous licensee’s efforts. By employing well-executed “avalanche marketing techniques” (TV and mass sampling newspaper inserts) the profile of the Rugby League swap cards lifted immeasurably.
Never before had any Australian sporting licensed product received such widespread exposure. A combination of clever radio, press, television and magazine advertising, contributed to sales of the product skyrocketing to an all time high in the first year of John’s contract.
In 1993, the previous trading card licence was the 12th highest royalty earner for the ARL. Under John’s control in 1994, it became the top licensee for the code of Rugby League, generating six times the 1993 revenue! Product sales at retail increased from $2 million in 1993 to $12 million in 1994 – an absolutely extraordinary result!
I recall that John was subsequently voted on to the ARL Licensees’ Marketing Committee which advised on the marketing of a whole range of Rugby League products and other general marketing issues.
I have now known John for over 10 years and still work closely with him on various projects. He is a lot of fun to work with and I respect his marketing prowess and expertise.”
John is without doubt one of the most outstanding marketers in Australia.
I am grateful to be privy to some of his success stories of recent years – and it appears he gets better with age!!
Aside from the pleasure of learning so much from this “guru of marketing”, I also value the opportunity of watching his “poetry in motion”.
The absolute speed and creativity of his delivery of ideas is astounding
I’ve seen seven or eight people walk out of one of his meetings, “mesmerised” at the number of whiteboard ideas he has just thrown together on the spot. (Although he will explain that these “on the spot” revelations are actually 20 years worth of experience, simply shining in one meeting!)
I have used John’s skills at Parramatta Leagues for numerous years.
He has an incredible eye for detail, not common in most advertising people.
His expertise is well regarded and his “strategic thinking” makes his creative input even more potent.
Radio, television, print or e-marketing – he’s got the lot.
And he’s willing to burn the midnight oil if there’s a tight deadline.
In fact, I’m not sure that he ever sleeps!
As a marketeer, I believe he’s one of a kind – someone who can help you grow your business through a mix of strategy and “wow factor!”
Yes, I’ve caught his damn “wow factor” bug! But I’m glad I have!
“I was introduced to John by a friend who is associated with the Greater Building Society. The “no fees” and “free holiday” campaign which John put together for the Society was so successful in differentiating the building society from its competitors, we contacted John to create the same magic for East Coast Conveyancing. The very nature of transferring title in property is so generic, we really needed an edge on our competitors. John made it his business to learn a great deal about conveyancing (we could probably now offer him a position in one of our offices!) and delivered a powerful creative strategic plan for East coast!
He rightly pointed out that our “wow factor” needed to differentiate us from our competitors. We therefore highlighted the benefits of using our services rather than a solicitor (our major competitor), and the results have been fabulous.
Another great thing about John’s service is that when he makes a deadline commitment, he sticks to it. But most importantly, he knows how to cut through the marketing hype and clichés, he simply delivers first time all the time.”
“I first worked with John during my time as General Manager and Director of Warner Bros Consumer Products in Australia, where he created some groundbreaking sales promotions for major clients of ours, including major shopping centre groups like Westfield, FMCG companies, Fast Food chains, and TV networks. John has been instrumental in conceiving unique packages which not only generated great marketing exposure for our entertainment properties but also generated significant increases in sales for both Warner Bros and our clients.
Subsequently, John was a major licensee for some of Warner Bros flagship properties like Batman and Looney Tunes. His imaginative approach to product development, distribution and marketing, saw his product categories become a huge sensation in the Australian industry. Indeed, John was instrumental in creating the Trading Card phenomenon in Australia, blitzing previous sales records both locally and overseas!
He has a magic combination of skills in the marketing and sales arenas and is capable of coming up with unbelievably creative advertising campaigns virtually on the spot. A prime mover in the development of “avalanche marketing” John is the best exponent of “wow factor” marketing in Australia in my opinion.
No matter whether John is working with the largest corporation or one of the smallest, his personal sense of pride ensures that he always over delivers.
A great family man with a high level of ethics, John is a pleasure to do business with. He has a sharp and funny wit and is an exciting person with whom to work. I still frequently call on him for consultancy assistance on regular occasions and would certainly recommend him to any company that may have a need for a lateral and accountable approach to their sales and marketing.

Our generator company is a market leader and after many years of handling our marketing “in-house”, we knew it was time to bring in an expert.
John was highly recommended to us by an associate and engaging his services was the best thing we’ve ever done.
Within a week of initially meeting us, John provided us with a strategic game plan going forward, including a draft advertising and publicity campaign.
He swiftly re-branded our company with a fresh, new logo and produced a suite of direct mail brochures promoting our product. He researched the relevant trade press and negotiated extraordinary deals for us, all the time ensuring that we were going to bet “bang for our buck.”
Our advertising spend is now far more disciplined than it was before, with John showing us the benefits of targeting our messages carefully.
His “wow factor” philosophy has certainly paid dividends for us, with our advertising now generating substantially more leads than ever before.
Additionally, John helped re-design our tired-looking website, so that now our web presence is one of our biggest drivers of new business.
John is undoubtedly a one-man “wow factor machine” who continually over delivers to ensure his client gets the desired results. He’s fast, reliable and creative. And he gets results.
“He not only delivers marketing ideas and strategies which work, but he also inspires you to go that extra mile for your customers.
His Wow Injection Packages are aptly named because they provide a real shot of adrenalin each month.
He’s definitely the best small business marketeer that I have ever come across – and I’ve seen him literally double the sales for small businesses in the space of just weeks.
His ideas are sharp and very clever.
Once you have him on your side, your competitors should be shaking in their boots!”
“I would normally expect to pay tens of thousands of dollars for someone of John’s calibre.
I reckon I’ve got the deal of the century!
When his Wow Injection Pack arrives each month, I instantly benefit from the new marketing ideas he provides.
Having access to his monthly video and e-book download is a very comforting thing when you’re in a competitive industry such as pool cleaning.
One thing’s for sure, I’m glad I’ve got John as my virtual Marketing Manager, as it’s now easy for me to stand out from my competitors.”
“The great thing about John’s Coaching Package is that the ideas he provides are easy to implement.
You don’t need to spend a lot of time studying what goes where.
The ideas are explained step-by-step in his video downloads – and I’m here to tell you that they work!
I’ve been searching for such a marketing guardian angel for years – and I’m so glad that I’ve now found one!”
“The landscaping and gardening game is a wildly competitive one and for the first time since starting my business, I’m now confident of always being able to differentiate myself from the opposition.
Investing in John’s Wow Injection Program is the best decision I ever made.
I’ve not only been able to increase my customer base, but I’ve also been able to increase my prices!
John’s tips and marketing ideas are the highlight of my month when they arrive in my inbox!
It’s a very worthwhile investment for my business.”
“The figures speak for themselves.
Before we put in place John’s Coaching Program, our annual profit was about $120,000 a year.
But after we put John’s Coaching Program into place, the profit within 18 months grew to an annual rate of over $440,000 a year!
That increased the value of our business fourfold – an outstanding result!
Having new and exciting marketing concepts arrive by email once a month is an absolute luxury!”
“With John, you get the immeasurable benefit of Steven Spielberg type thinking for your small business, but at home-movie rates!
I’m flabbergasted how he continues to come up with creative marketing ideas that are universally applicable across all sorts of businesses and industries.
That is a very, very rare skill indeed.
John is really a unique talent and one which will be hugely valuable to any small business in this day and age.”
“When it comes to my turf industry, I hate to say it, but one turf farm is pretty much identical to the other.
Well at least that was the case before I invested in John’s Wow Injection Program!
I can assure you that ALC Turf is now very different from any other turf farm and after implementing just one of John’s ideas, I actually ran out of turf!
I just couldn’t believe it.
For years I’ve been struggling with doing my own marketing and along came John with some fantastic marketing concepts – and the first one results in me selling out of product!
A very nice problem to have I can assure you!”
“After investing in John’s Marketing Coaching Program, I have increased my sales by 28% in just a few months.
I have found it to be the best business investment I have ever made.
Every month I receive his video and e-book, crammed with marketing ideas to help me get more customers.
The great thing about it is that his ideas are easy to run and you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to implement them.
I can now claim to be the best marketed carpet cleaner in North Queensland!”
A very nice problem to have I can assure you!”
“The great thing for a small business when dealing with John Dwyer, is that he has had this big time experience, he understands that power of the wow factor and he’s worked with some of the biggest names and biggest celebrities.
So what does this mean for a small company?
It means that you’re going to benefit from all of his years of providing big businesses with wow factor ideas.
In other words, you’re getting fantastic big ideas that have been proven to work, for a fraction of the price that multi-nationals have paid!
John’s Wow Injection Program is extraordinary value for any small business.”
“JD and the word instant go hand in hand.
I’ve never seen any marketing person in my life provide such instant solutions to business problems!
He has a huge inventory of proven winning marketing concepts which he has now made available to small businesses everywhere.
Let’s get things clear. We’re talking about the guy who convinced Jerry Seinfeld to be spokesman for a small Australian bank, now making himself available to hairdressers, butchers, pool cleaners, health spas, gyms and any other small business.
So you’re getting a Rolls Royce for the price of a Honda.
His Wow Injection Programs are pure sales-stimulating magic and any small business that taps into them will be rewarded a hundred fold!
“The great thing about John’s Coaching Packages is that he explains everything in plain, simple terms.
There’s no advertising industry jargon or acronyms.
He understands that small business owners simply want to know how to cost-effectively create a marketing plan – and he goes about providing such ideas in an easy-to-use fashion.
And I don’t know how he creates concepts that can apply to nearly every industry, but somehow he does it!
I’ve known John for a lot of years and you would think that by now, I would be somewhat immune to any of his wow factor ideas.
But every time I talk to him or receive an email, I get excited because I know the result is going to be that I’m pumped up and ready to take on the world!
His creativity continues to astound me.”
“John’s monthly Coaching Package has helped us to grow our business exceptionally.
Before we started using John’s services, we’ve had no idea of the value of collecting a database, nor did we understand the lifetime-value of our customer base.
John’s monthly Wow Injections are eagerly awaited by myself and other staff members, as every time we watch one of his videos or read his e-book, our heads are filled with exciting new ways to gain more customers or increase the average expenditure of our current customers.
As far as I’m concerned, he’s a small business marketing genius!”
“Working with JD is an absolute blast.
He is a delight to be around and his quick wit and sense of humour is matched only by his marketing brilliance when it comes to helping small businesses.
I’m always amazed at the way JD can deliver tremendous marketing ideas in the snap of a finger.
And I’m also amazed at the success rate his ideas have.
To be able to get access to his entrepreneurial brain once a month for such a moderate investment is the deal of the decade as far as I’m concerned.”
“I’ve known John for over 20 years and greatly admire his many skills in the Marketing and Advertising arena. It was in my capacity as Executive Director of the Stockland Trust Group, Director of the Australian Shopping Centre Managers Pty Ltd and NSW Vice-President of the Building Owners and Managers Association (now named Property Council of Australia), that I witnessed John’s unique combination of talents shine.
I personally, as well as the various companies and organisations, greatly benefited from John’s unbelievable creative talent. I say ‘unique combination of talents’ because it is rare, in my experience, to find such a creative talent who is also a clear strategic thinker and planner. His creative work in the Marketing field is driven by research specific to the task which means that John is virtually a “one man complete agency”.
I admire the way that John is always aware of budget and deadlines, two very crucial matters. Whatever business you are in, you do not need to continue any search for marketing assistance. You have found the talent you require.”
“The figures speak for themselves.Before we became part of John’s “wow environment”, our annual profit was about $120,000 a year.
Within 18 months of being involved with John’s coaching ideas, our profit within 18 months, grew to an annual rate of $440,000 a year!
That increased the value of our business fourfold – an outstanding result!
His system is applicable to any business-type.”
