Don’t take our word for it. This is what some of our clients have had to say about Trish and Mastermind Consulting. Our clients have included:

In the past two years I have worked with Trish Barry on several widely differing client assignments. In every case she has focused her formidable analytic and strategic skills to generate excellent results which have measurably over-delivered against the client's expectations. She has achieved this in challenging situations which have required a detailed grasp of clients' specific business needs and respect of the personal sensitivities of employees at all levels. I would unhesitatingly enlist her services on further projects.
Chris Anstee Managing Director, Wine and Vine Personnel
Working with Trish has provided Best’s with an amazing range of skill and expertise we otherwise wouldn’t have access to. From the ground up – Brand plans, developing an execution calendar, public relations, Events, Website and social Media management to Masterminds’ partner network - her work is second to none. This has allowed us to focus on all the critical areas of the business in a timely fashion and deliver strong results for the brand.
Jonathan Mogg - General Manager Sales and Marketing, Best’s Great Western
I honestly could not fault Trish’s commitment to the program. She has been very good relating to both the Young Guns and the Gurus, which is something that I would imagine to be challenging. I think that the success of these programs is largely dependent on the motivation of the Young Gun and Guru, so Trish’s creativity and organisation shone through as a bonus.
Gus Lander - The WineTap - WCA Young Gun 2008/09
To put it simply...”Trish Rocks!” It was really evident that she both enjoyed what she does and really put a huge amount of effort into making it happen. She was always available with support if it was required.
Megan Downer - Taylors Wines - WCA Young Gun 2008/09
We’ve had the pleasure of working with Trish and a number of her Mastermind Consulting clients for over a year. During that time we’ve witnessed the value she adds to her client relationships through her longer term strategic thinking. She develops an integrated approach to the communications mix across a number of platforms, not only thinking of immediate needs but ensuring that there are longer term solutions that will allow for future business growth.
Trish understands the digital landscape which means that briefs are always comprehensive and reflecting current practices and trends. This additionally assists with bridging the gap between ourselves and her less tech savvy clients,
Damian Bruno - Business Development Manager, Shine Media Group
I have worked with Trish Barry and Mastermind Consulting on a number of wine marketing projects. She is a strategic thinker with a clear understanding of not only brand building, but the importance of marketing to the bottom line of a business. I can highly recommend her and look forward to continuing what has been a great professional relationship to date.
Liz O'Connell, Writer & Communications Consultant
Trish has a passion for online marketing. Her early belief in this medium has seen her produce some exceptional results for small and large brands. She challenges the traditional media channels to deliver effective and integrated communications plans. She is a strategic thinker and her attention to detail ensures she delivers exceptional results for her clients. Importantly, Trish is an absolute pleasure to work with.
Elizabeth Joyce, Division Head - Digital & Direct | STW Group
In 2008 our organisation undertook a major name and branding update which involved a complete re-think of our communications and on-line strategy. As a non-profit industry body we required the knowledge and understanding of a business that could sort out, in particular, our website design and communications. Mastermind Director Trish Barry is a committee member of our organisation, so normally we would accept her volunteer services to help us out. However, we recognised her ability to take over the project, fine tune it and deliver in a timely, professional fashion, so engaged Mastermind under a fee structure. We are enormously pleased with the results and would like to wholeheartedly recommend Mastermind Consulting’s services in marketing and project management in particular, especially in the wine & beverage category.
Darren Jahn, President, Wine Communicators of Australia Inc
Trish Barry worked with me at a time when our organisation was going through, at times, the painful process of integrating two distinct & strong corporate cultures with competing wine brands.
She had a clear strategic focus, got to the heart of the market requirements quickly through accurate and relevant analysis. Trish was able to devise realistic sales strategies for the newly merged sales team and was often prepared to introduce new ideas and concepts to excite distinct distribution channels. This positioned our brand properly with a clarity that had been lacking previously and most importantly, geared us up for strong growth.
Importantly, Trish was fun to work with and brought enjoyment to what she did at a challenging time. Her enthusiasm and energy helped motivate and galvanise others. I miss working with her and can thoroughly recommend her approach with regard to marketing and strategic thinking.
Simon Beck, Global Strategic Supply Manager, Matua Valley Wines NZ
Trish worked with Australian Vintage on a number of key brand initiatives over a 6 month period. Over this time she was a critical member of the team working across a number of strategic and tactical initiatives. No matter what the job entailed her disciplined and professional approach ensured the work output will be an asset to our business for some time. She has helped us enormously across this period and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for anyone seeking assistance in strategic planning.
Samantha Bragg, Marketing Director Australian Vintage Ltd
Having worked closely with Trish for over 3 years I have seen firsthand how she is able to quickly identify core business issues and implement a practical workable strategy to solve not only the issues at hand, but also look for longer term solutions where issues are not yet on the horizon. Trish makes this whole marketing process look easy. Her level of energy, passion and creativity is unequalled and infectious.
Trish is an articulate communicator and this skill is multi dimensional – ranging from training sales teams, call centres or inspiring an advertising agency to believe in the product they are working on.
