Its Good to be Talked About
2010

Africa Investor Project –

I initiated this project, which was to provide all data, statistics and market insights, with regards to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Africa, spanning from 2004
through to 2010.

This was in order to identify whether a link exists between the reporting by the media on FDI into African Countries individually, both Globally and within the borders of that Country, and the actual receipt thereof

Africa Investor is a high profile publication, which has a footprint spanning across most continents globally.

The article was published in their global publication (July | August Edition 2010)

"“Joni supplied us with her companies service, the Meltwater News Platform, for the Africa Telecoms website, www.africatelecomsonline.co.za.

The service we received from Joni in her capacity with Meltwater was nothing but exceptional. She always delivered above and beyond what would have ordinarily been expected. Her work was always delivered on time or ahead of schedule, even in the face of very tight deadlines.

I would recommend Joni without hesitation and it has always been a pleasure working with her.” May 21, 2010

"“I have worked with Joni and the Meltwater Group when I engaged the company to carry out media monitoring across Africa. As our key contact, I found Joni to have a solid understanding of the product and was particularly adept at customer service - responding promptly to enquiries and providing useful insights on how to maximize the service -”

"“Joni Olivier’s handling of Nigeria LNG’s Media Monitoring account with Meltwater was simply impressive.
Right from the start she showed absolute commitment in working to ensure Meltwater signed on the account that would enable Nigeria LNG stay informed of its profile in the media and to a large extent, its reputation as a reliable supplier of liquefied natural gas to the global market and a valued partner in the development of Nigeria.
It was the commitment she so clearly and easily showed that led to my specific request for Joni to become Nigeria LNG’s dedicated Account Manager at the time before the company finalised a working agreement with Meltwater News. Joni in her typical modest fashion claimed that everybody at Meltwater had her kind of outstanding professionalism.
Joni’s attitude throughout the relationship —and we sometimes worked on weekends, the nature of news being a 24hr/7day cycle these days—was always upbeat and can-do even when it laid beyond her immediate remit.
She was always willing to give it her best effort and on many occasions offered suggestions to enhance the quality of our news tracking.
From my working relationship with Joni, I would describe her as a personable go-getter with a trade-mark habit for going the extra-mile…all the time. It sounds positively incredible but Joni Olivier is real.
Joni and I discussed about the best ways of ensuring Nigeria LNG received the most value from the search facility provided by Meltwater but it was Joni who did the hardwork of inputing the many details that would ensure Nigeria’s foremost LNG company could “drill-down” to the many sources of media chatter about the company. Even in the most remote places of the world.
Joni is hardworking, dedicated, transparent and personable to work with. I recommend her very strongly.”
