Testimonial
In their words
Working with the Noteworthy team has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They took the time to genuinely understand our business, our history and our mission, then translated that into a story that captured who OCC Apparel really is.
As a business focused on helping organisations source premium ethical apparel, it's fantastic to see OCC Apparel keeping great company alongside so many inspiring New Zealand businesses, brands and people featured on Noteworthy.
The process was professional, collaborative and enjoyable, and the finished article exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for thoughtful business storytelling that highlights what makes your organisation unique, I highly recommend working with Noteworthy.

We produce the piece to a clear brief and review it with you. It still has to meet Noteworthy's editorial bar. We will not publish advertorial or claims we cannot stand behind. If we still cannot publish after the factual review, we offer a rewrite or a refund.
About two weeks from a completed brief, depending on interview timing and how quickly the review comes back.
