Thank you again for all of yours, and Christine’s help to promote Sydney Monopoly.
A Little Extra went above and beyond and both myself and Tom greatly appreciate the effort. The coverage was fantastic and the sell thru is reflecting the success!

Michelle Myers is the consummate PR and communications professional. I have worked with her, both as a journalist and client. No stone is left unturned! Michelle and her brilliant team work tirelessly to connect the product/talent with the appropriate media outlets. I could not recommend her more highly.
Tracey Spicer, Journalist & Broadcaster
In my role as Senior Producer with Today Tonight, I have worked with Michelle Myers for nearly a decade. She is without a doubt my favourite Public Relations person to work with.
Always on the ball and on hand, the shoots we have worked on together have gone like a dream. Considering they usually involve a room full of children, toys and watchful parents – its a miracle they run as smoothly as they do. But Michelle’s attention to detail, hands on approach and ability to work under pressure in the middle of a maelstrom is testament to her abilities as a communicator and ‘people person’. In this regard, she is without par. I look forward to working with her again. And you dont say that about many ‘PR People!’
Darren Ally, Senior Producer, Today Tonight
I first met Michelle when I was publisher of kid’s magazine DMAG, and I was always really impressed with the creative promotional ideas she pitched to me for her client Hasbro, her persistence to ensure coverage in the magazine and her management skills in seeing it through.
When I decided to employ a publicist for the magazine, naturally my first thought was of A Little Extra. Michelle worked tirelessly to build the profile of the magazine, securing regular promotion for us on children’s TV networks and in national and regional press.

David Peattie, Managing Director, Hasbro Australia Limited
As an international company based in Hong Kong we needed a public relations partner we could trust to represent us in Australia when we opened our first five food & beverage outlets in Australia in 2010. After considering several agencies, we chose A Little Extra to organise our opening events and manage our public relations and were thrilled with their professionalism, creativity and results. They certainly delivered more than a little extra to ensure our very special launch events were truly memorable, overseeing every aspect from managing staging and audio visual production and lining up exceptional talent to inviting and managing an eclectic mix of VIP and media guests. Our restaurant partners including the management of Montreux Jazz Café who attended from Switzerland, Jared Ingersol of Dank Street Depot and Michael Potts of Bambini Wine Room were equally happy with the high caliber of the events to launch their new outlets at Sydney International Airport. Since the openings, A Little Extra has continued to gain considerable exposure in the media for outlets with their proactive and creative approach to publicity.

“At variety we were missing out on media opportunities until we were introduced to A Little Extra. Michele Myers and her enthusiastic and well-connected team have changed all that for us and we would recommend A Little Extra for any media events.”
Stuart Telfer, Motoring Events Manager (NSW) variety, the children’s charity
I began working with Michelle and the team at a Little Extra after she came highly recommended to me by key industry media. We needed a company that could create and execute special media events that delivered our key messages and inspiring product launches. Like us, the media were clearly impressed with what A Little Extra delivered which was evident from the excellent media coverage they secured. The result in the media coverage exceeded our publicity expectations and helped to raise brand and specific product awareness. In between product launches, A Little Extra ensured year round media coverage by pro-actively seeking out publicity for our range of coffee makers, kitchen appliances and seasonal products.
Nigel Cornford, Marketing Manager, De’Longhi
Starting a new business back in 2005, I was lucky enough to have Michelle recommended to me for our PR. Michelle was so innovative, maximising our tight budget to the full, creating the buzz we needed to set us in the right direction. When it came to introducing new products, Michelle was the first call we made. Her professionalism was unsurpassed and it is always a pleasure to throw around ideas with her, knowing that she will come back with an original plan that delivers. Michelle and the team at A Little Extra will supply exact that and more.
Karen Gilligan, Director, AussieMurals
We have worked with A Little Extra for the past 12 years. A Little Extra has successfully staged opening events for our exhibitions at Powerhouse Museum, Science Works & Questacon and new product launches for both trade and retail events. Michelle Myers has always delivered excellent results!
Andrew McDougall, Managing Director, AKM Toys
Michelle and her team turned our great campaign ideas into brilliant ones and had the balls to argue with us when our great ideas just weren’t, and always with good reason.
Despite being an external consultant, Michelle added to our organisation’s relationships with media through her extensive knowledge and understanding of our key media targets, and by approaching all our story pitches with ultimate professionalism. An integral part of our organisation, Michelle and her team are clearly driven above all else by achieving results and go the extra mile…including juggling media calls at 4 in the morning. Importantly, they are also a pleasure to work with. Having relocated to London wish we had “a little extra” over here.
