Content Coaching Clients • Testimonials
"More recently, FOURPLAIT helped me extend my social media reach. Jessica walked me through strategies for audience engagement and showed me how to use video content in ways I would never have achieved alone.
Before working with her, most of my 135+ Instagram posts received 1,000 - 3,500 views. With her coaching and hands-on editing services, my average organic views increased by 974%.
With their guidance the content immediately reached new audiences (without paid boosting), including international communities involved in language revitalisation. As a direct result, I was invited to an Irish language podcast (Irish with Mollie), connected with Indigenous peoples from around the world, and secured media opportunities with RNZ, TVNZ Breakfast, Marae, and The Guardian.
I highly recommend their coaching services for anyone wanting to get their message or research out to the right audience."

“Jessica [Sanderson] is just amazing! The Te Tihi team could not stop raving about the valuable learnings she had in her kete. Her ability to incorporate storytelling and pūrakau into her facilitation kept everyone engaged.
The calibre of her technical knowledge from social media, media, collaborative tools, and how to really capture people and draw them into your mahi was top-notch!
She’s an awesome wahine and you are guaranteed to leave with more pūkenga in your kete.”
– Pikihuia Hillman (Te Tihi o Ruahine)
“I was at the very start of taking my knowledge into the public sphere, which was a whole new world for me and out of my comfort zone.
FOURPLAIT connected me with the right photographer using their established networks and coached me to get a public profile started.
I don’t think I would have taken this step on my own. The work they have done has resulted in new clients.
I recommend them to anyone needing an extra boost to put themselves out there in a way that’s in alignment with their own values.”
– Monica Chhay
