We’re a Video-Led Creative Agency We are creative at our core – it’s in our DNA. For over a decade, we’ve been helping clients tell their unique story, inspire their audiences and standout in their industry. From creative ideation to execution, we partner with clients to achieve results.
Integrated Approach that Supercharges Creative In world where there’s increasing competition for decreasing attention, brands have difficulty standing out. With creative at the center, we seamlessly integrate insights and media to supercharge our work. Insights provides focus for creative, and the creative strategy shapes the media plan. All three parts work together – nothing lives in isolation. This unique approach to creative makes us more than just different, it makes us better.
Teams Built for Results We’re successful because we design our teams to deliver results. We’ve seen what doesn’t work. Typical agencies have large teams of inexperienced staff that work in siloes. We create small, highly experienced teams that collaborate in real time. The result? Better work with no missed deadlines or budget overages.
Focused, Fast and Flexible As your partner, we focus on your goals and measure ourselves by the impact we make. We work fast because we deliver value (not hours). We’re flexible because we understand every project is unique and the only constant in any project is change.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I was working as an executive creative director at an advertising agency.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Colormatics?
We needed help with video production.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
They helped us produce commercials, sizzle videos, and event coverage. For the most part, we came up with the concepts and ideas, and we'd bring them along and ask them to produce it for us. Typically, they would ask their value from a director’s perspective. They would help us execute in a way that would add a lot of knowledge and expertise.
What is the team composition?
We typically worked with a director, a DP, a producer, and a sound engineer.
How did you come to work with Colormatics?
I've known them for a while and wanted to give them a shot for one project. After the first time, we hired them again and again because they always delivered what we needed.
How much have you invested with them?
We've invested $50,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together from January 2017 to December 2017.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
They were a great vendor to come in, since we were working with a tight and practical budget. They were able to provide big production value for the budget that we had. Overall, agencies and clients loved working with them. In a few cases, the clients even continued the relationship after the project had ended. They're very detail-oriented for such a small firm.
How did Colormatics perform from a project management standpoint?
From the production side, they'd stick to a schedule. We would assign one point of contact them directly and relay feedback.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I love working with them. They're so easy to work with.
Are there any areas they could improve?
When they want a job, it's a bit above their capabilities. They should work on delivering a bit of a stronger treatment if they want to secure it.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Communicating exactly what you want is key. Don't leave anything up to guessing.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the director of product marketing for GEP, a global consulting company. We provide services and software to the procurement and supply chain industry. We deal largely with Fortune 500 and other bigger organizations.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Colormatics?
We had a need for a development partner who could provide several different video production and visual arts services.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
We’ve engaged Colormatics on many different projects. We’ve used them to create promotional videos and testimonials for our software and services that are later published on our website. The team has also acted as a video crew recording our live events at various conferences and keynote presentations, as well as supplying reportage for those events. Further, Colormatics have done animations for us as well.
Sometimes we have clear ideas and assign specific directions. At other times, their team collaborates with us to find creative, interesting ways to express what we’d like to convey.
Recently, we went through a rebranding exercise, changing the name of one of our products. That had an effect on our creative output, and Colormatics was responsible for very rapidly editing and recutting videos to reflect the new name.
In a broader sense, we’ve used Colormatics in an advisory capacity to build our own in-house capabilities.
What is the team composition?
I typically interface with the owners on a regular basis. For shoots, there’s usually a crew of four.
How did you come to work with Colormatics?
In our first engagement with Colormatics, we were actually the subject of another company’s testimonial videos. We got along well with the crew, and they were easy to work with. When we looked at the final output, we were extremely impressed with the quality, and decided to reach out for the next video project we had.
What is the status of this engagement?
We began working with Colormatics in June 2016, and the engagement is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We don’t have specific metrics we track them on, as we don’t use their services in a traditional advertising sense. However, internally, our business development team is always quite enthusiastic to use them as part of their process. Colormatics’ work receives a high amount of views on our website, and we’re more than satisfied with their performance in that regard. Universally, everything Colormatics has done has met our criteria for success.
How did Colormatics perform from a project management standpoint?
Our communication has become streamlined and efficient as our partnership has developed. We keep in contact by text message, phone, and email, though we try to meet in person on a fairly regular basis. Sean (Partner) never hesitates to reach out to have a cup of coffee when he’s in the area to chat generally about ideas. He’ll also occasionally call me to share something the team’s been working on that might be of interest to us in the future.
We have a more informal relationship than I do with other vendors, because I completely trust them to deliver for us. Overall, we’re impressed not just with the quality of the work they provide, but with how they behave as businesspeople.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Over the years we’ve worked with them, they’ve developed fluency in our business. Now, they’re capable of offering not just creative advice, but suggestions on how to best get our message across with industry-specific language. For instance, the editing process after our rebrand was an extremely painless, effortless experience, because Colormatics really understood where we were coming from. It’s been incredibly helpful to have a partner who understands the complexities of our company.
Are there any areas they could improve?
There are some capabilities that larger production companies have that Colormatics doesn’t, like CGI services. It’s not a shortcoming on their part, because a small production company shouldn't be expected to have all the tools of a major media studio, but I could probably give them more business if they had those capabilities.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
You can get the best relationship with Colormatics by engaging with them as people, rather than just service providers. There have been times when they’ve gone above and beyond what’s expected of them.

Colormatics produced several videos for a communications agency. This includes filming events, location scouting, casting, storyboards, and post-production.
The videos consistently meet the expectations of the internal team, leading to a successful longterm partnership. Colormatics delivers quality results no matter the external circumstances. The team is knowledgeable, hard-working, and reliable.
The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
Andrew Pearson, Director of Video Production M Booth runs on two words: Be Inspired. From the people we select for our teams to how we work with our clients to the passions we pursue outside the office, innovation, creativity and inspiration shape every part of our organization.
We are a culture-first communications agency that attracts the best people and the best brands to a workplace that’s alive with courage, ideas, respect and humanity. We are relentlessly passionate about our clients and their business, whether that means staying at the forefront of the digital and social evolution, sharpening our earned storytelling skills or unleashing game-changing insights that result in campaigns that win in the marketplace.
At M Booth, 150 employees share one title: Ideapreneurs. We think big. Move fast. And are proud of our resourceful, entrepreneurial mindset. A highly-collaborative team of account planners and media connectors, data-driven researchers and digital designers, communication experts and content makers. Creating impact for our clients through insight and innovation, we’re an agency that punches way above its weight.
At M Booth, our guiding principle is “how we do anything means everything.” Apparently, the industry has noticed: we have been awarded The Holmes Report 2016 Overall Agency of the Year and 2016 Consumer Agency of the Year; the 2016 PRWeek Midsize Agency of the Year; and the 2016 PRWeek Best Places to Work.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Colormatics?
M Booth has partnered with Colormatics for several years with challenges ranging from event coverage through full , pre to post creative and live action video production.
What were your goals for this project?
Our goal with Colormatics is always to the highest production value we can afford. They are beyond accommodating and the end product always surpass expectations.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor?
Trust. We flat out just trust Colormatics. They're always detailed in their estimates and ask all the right questions to ensure both partners are set up for success. And their past work speaks for itself.
Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.
One particular project needed location, casting, storyboards and production/crew management in less than a week, including client approvals on all aspects. Colormatics made it look easy (though it definitely was not) and the end production went off without any bumps. Our clients were pleased beyond their expectations. A win for everyone.
What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?
Colormatics is easy to work with for feedback. We typically work directly with one person from their team. While we rely heavily on client feedback, we value Colormatics' input in shaping cuts before we present to clients for official review.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
On one particular project, the overall consensus was that everything may fall apart because we did not have enough time to ensure all approvals. However, because Colormatics is so reliable, the final product not only crushed any doubt, but exceeded expectaions.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Workflow was very fluid. Colormatics utilizes many digital tools that make approvals, review and feedback organized and thorough.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
The most impressive aspect of Colormatics is their ability to adapt to any project guardrails.
Are there any areas for improvement?
While there is always room for improvement, Colormatics takes feedback and corrective measures in stride during projects to ensure the best result. It's a result of their open minds and expertise.

Colormatics worked in collaboration with the internal team to produce a promotional video from start to finish, publicizing it on TV, social media, and on the website. The team also managed talent selection.
The remarkable work that Colormatics produced led to a significant increase in occupancy at the resort, and the video they made is of superior quality and standard. In addition to being responsive and communicative, they were committed to fulfilling the needs of the internal team.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the former director of marketing at the Coeur d’Alene Resort.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Colormatics?
When I started at the organization, we had very minimal content, a small photo library, and no videos. So, one of my main tasks was to increase the content to promote the resort. I wanted something that was fresh, cutting-edge, and unique to the resort, and I wanted to work with a partner who was flexible and excited about the project.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
I showed them a couple of video ideas, and Colormatics came up with a handful of really strong concepts. From there, we narrowed it down, and they created the storyboards. The team also went to our local talent agency and helped me find the right talent for the video. They then produced an all-encompassing video for the spring season at the resort that would be used as a TV commercial and on social media and our website.
They implemented my vision, using the video to show how accessible the resort was and how many activities were available to the customers. The team made the video such that the viewer could be in the shoes of the models – almost like a first-person experience.
What is the team composition?
I worked primarily with Chris (Director) and Aaron (Producer). They also brought in their shooting team.
How did you come to work with Colormatics?
I wanted to find partners that I connected with and trusted, so I met with 4–5 different video production houses. I was recommended by a former coworker to meet with Colormatics and, as soon as I met them, I felt their excitement and their energy. I loved that they were excited and flexible and wanted to work with what I was looking to create, which is why I decided to work with them.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent between $35,000–$40,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
I worked with them from December 2017–July 2019.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
I was incredibly pleased with the way they brought my vision to life. Our president and general manager at the resort loved the work that Colormatics did for us. Their work was by far the best I’ve seen in my career. The resort had the highest level of occupancy that it had ever had during the years when the spot ran.
Pushing the social media and having the video on our website and on TV definitely resonated with our region and brought a lot of new guests in. We saw the influx of a demographic that was younger than we usually targeted, and that was extremely helpful.
Two of the models they found became signature models for the resort, and we used them continuously afterward. What started as just one spot turned into a 2–3-year campaign because Chris and Aaron helped us find some great talent.
How did Colormatics perform from a project management standpoint?
We used both email and text, and whenever I had a hard time downloading a format, they would get back to me immediately and send it to me in a different way.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Chris and Aaron had a great partnership. As producer and director, they had a good balance of experience and were so flexible. Their work was outstanding, and they were definitely a jewel in the Northwest as far as video production. They were responsive, positive, and easy to work with. Colormatics was supportive and authentic, compromising to meet our needs and make sure we had a long-lasting relationship.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, I have no suggestions. If there were any issues, they would correct them immediately.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Be open to their direction and have fun. I’ve already recommended them to other people.

Comporting themselves professionally in crowded studio settings, Colormatics captures high-quality video. Internal stakeholders praise them for their fast editing and impressive feedback processes. Customers can expect a comprehensive partner who’s dedicated to overall company growth.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
Man Made Music is a global music and sound studio. We do sonic branding for entertainment brands and large television networks and corporations. I’m the senior music producer and creative director. I handle day-to-day budgeting, digital collateral, creative management, and video production.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Colormatics?
We do these big recording sessions and are well-equipped, but we’re not a video house. Utilizing a long-standing relationship with one of the co-founders of Colormatics, Chris, we hooked up with them. We wanted to leverage capturing some of those moments that are so important to our clients.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
They’re coming with a crew of people and doing live video shoots of our music recording sessions. They do all the post-production as well. Documentary style is a good way to think about it.
We’ve taken it on to do audio mixes when we have work that’s still in progress, but they really handle everything, soup-to-nuts, on the video side, including audio post-production. We’re providing maybe, splits of our music so they can utilize that and build a story around how the music is actually recorded, and not just the final product.
What is the team composition?
We’ve done anywhere from 4–5 people-shoots up to 10-12. It’s based on the client's budget, a lot of time. They bring in the right size crew for whatever we need to do.
How did you come to work with Colormatics?
The first project we worked with them on was purely editorial – a new portfolio reel for the company. It’s evolved into this full-service video production house we really enjoying partner with now. It was a direct relationship in how we found them.
How much have you invested with them?
Our budget spend is probably close to $200,000 in all.
What is the status of this engagement?
We’ve been working together since November 2011.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The quality of the work is excellent, and our company prides itself on the quality of our work, so it was important for any partner to have that same sense. They’re amazing in their regard. I look at the work they’re doing for their other clients as well and it’s equal to what they do for us.
We’ve developed a really great system in how we do these live recording sessions. It’s become very easy to work with them. they know how these things go, the right crew to build around them. Their proposals are great, and they’re willing to work directly with clients on our behalf. We have a lot of trust in them. It’s important in our recording sessions – with 10 extra people in the room, they’re very respectful and quiet. There’s a feel thing that’s really specific to our needs that doesn’t go unnoticed by them.
How did Colormatics perform from a project management standpoint?
They’re super-efficient with the edit schedule, and I know how long those things can take. Again, in building the right team, they have a sense of who needs to be on certain projects. And not only for the initial shoot, but also in the editorial process afterward. They make their reviews incredibly efficient and address feedback beautifully. I’ve had nothing but good experiences working with them on the post-production side.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Over the years, Sean and Chris (Founding Partners, Colormatics) have really made an effort to get to know us. In fact, they’re currently thinking of ways to leverage our in-house production as well. So that’s really special. They’re not only willing to show up for these gigs but are also offering additional on the house help for us to ensure our capabilities are good. They go above and beyond in serving us as a client.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, not from my perspective. One of the reasons we’re able to work with them is that they expand on a capability of ours that we don’t have in-house. They provide a robust offering for us. We’re not experts in their field, but from a client service and quality standpoint, I can’t ask for anything more.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
As flexible as they are with pricing, you have to go in knowing they’re delivering a super high-quality product. It’s important to know that as scalable as their business is, they really specialize in high-end video production. Expect the best work from them, and expect that the cost is worth it.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the director of local marketing at Fiverr.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Colormatics?
I’ve worked with them on many different projects to solve various issues with the company. For one particular project, we had to create growth videos to acquire new customers through YouTube. We needed a substantial variety of videos on a tight budget.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
I went to their team with a brief. Since we’ve worked together before, they already had a strong understanding of the brand and knew what to convey. The trick was that we needed a lot of different types of videos within a tight budget, so their team had to think creatively on how to work with that.
After going through an array of options and possibilities, we ended up with about 100 different video ideas. Despite this, the process was simple. After looking over the brief, we collaborated with their creative team to get the videos right. We had a lot of creative back-and-forths, going over the set design and other elements, through calls and emails.
We worked in the same studio, but their team created different sets within one space.
After filming, the videos went through the editing process. All of the videos were YouTube and Facebook acquisition videos, which have different criteria for converting new users. Those videos also have a specific length for each set. We also created general and category-specific videos with Colormatics.
What is the team composition?
Sean (Partner) and Chris (Director) are my main points of contact. Each set of videos has a different team.
How did you come to work with Colormatics?
I found Colormatics years ago. I was working with someone who recommended them to me as an up-and-coming, talented duo. Now, they’re a bigger company with full-time employees and established clients. We hit it off and started our long-term engagement with them with production work.
Over the years, they’ve created corporate, client-facing, internal, brand, product, and conversion videos. We trust them to know the brand and adapt to our needs.
What is the status of this engagement?
This engagement ran from August-September 2018.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The team at Colormatics delivered over 100 cuts of videos for us. The videos met our expectations. They allowed us to try different tests for customer acquisition. It resulted in a strong conversion of new users. Their team thinks creatively, making them excellent problem-solvers.
How did Colormatics perform from a project management standpoint?
The fact that we’ve been working with them so many years is a testament to who they are and how they work. They can work on projects with a fast turnaround, or they can do more significant projects with more in-depth planning. The team at Colormatics is responsive.
Our conversations are always casual. During the editing stages, we use a tool called Frame.io, which allows me to give notes and feedback. Based on my needs, they re-edit. Other than that, we communicate using phone calls, emails, and texts.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their production value is extremely high. It’s almost like they’re five times the size. Along with having the right technical expertise, their team is friendly and down to earth. I love their perspective, and that they make projects a lot of fun. Creative projects can get heated when there is a difference in creativity. Colormatics would push us as a brand to make decisions.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I won’t use them for certain projects because I know what they can deliver. I have them work on things that they do their best at. With the projects I give them, they do a great job.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Know what you want. Come in with a clear idea of output, and communicate that effectively with them. If you don’t know what you want, you’re not going to be happy with what they deliver.
Set expectations when working with them. We’ve had times where we worked with them where we didn’t know what we wanted, and I ended up not being happy with the results. That has nothing to do with Colormatics, but because we weren’t aligned internally. Knowing what you want makes the process more efficient.

BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I work on the creative team at Providence. We are a national hospital and healthcare network primarily focused on the east coast. I’m the production manager that produces all of the paid media collateral, such as broadcast TV, sports radio, social media, and display ads.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Colormatics?
For our first big project, we wanted to go to southern California and document a bunch of caregivers and patients in our network that relate to our hashtag brand called #FinishCancer.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
They’ve provided production services for us. This has involved live-action, video, and photography, as well as an editorial style “behind the scenes” we wanted to capture for organic social.
We provided the strategy and they provided all the creative specialists as well as production and post-production services. We filmed for five days straight, and then post-production lasted three months.
At the end of our engagement, there will be 22 videos total, along with photography we’ll be using as well. For this campaign, the mediums are print and digital. The videos will be posted on paid and organic social media, as well as our brand website.
What is the team composition?
We worked with about 10–12 people, including post-production.
How did you come to work with Colormatics?
They were referred to me by another agency in Spokane. We’ve awarded several other projects to them since we began working with them on the #FinishCancer campaign.
How much have you invested with them?
Between production and post-production, we’ve invested around $80,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in October of 2019, and we’re still working on post-production. We keep extending the reach of the campaign based on how much footage we’ve captured and how great the footage is.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Their quality of work is great. We’ve had great feedback from all of our internal stakeholders. Many leaders in the hospital network in Southern California have been impressed by everything they’ve produced.
How did Colormatics perform from a project management standpoint?
They’re very organized and buttoned-up when it comes to account management. They’ve been fantastic at accommodating the scope of work getting bigger. They’ve also accommodated all sorts of different types of deliverables.
We’ve had one main point of contact, which has been Aaron (Producer, Colormatics). They’ve never missed a deadline, and all the estimates they’ve put together have been very reasonable.
We know we can call Aaron at any time if we have any questions. It’s been really great knowing we have one point of contact for all of our projects. Our team has gotten used to going to Aaron for anything they need. He’s really knowledgeable, and he’s always able to help us on the fly.
They use a tool called Frame.io. Even though we’ve been working with 22 videos, the tool has helped keep it all organized. It’s very easy for us to receive updates from the tool and put our feedback directly back in.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They really want to show that they understand what you’re trying to achieve. They’re good at understanding the project’s overall goal, so we’ve never had any misunderstandings. They’ve hit the nail on the head every single time they’ve come back with estimates, footage, and edits.
There’s no “burn and churn” with this group. They know what information they need to be successful, and this has helped us be more efficient with our time.
Also, they listen to directions really well. (Since we’re a creative team as well, we’re pretty good about keeping our briefs clear and knowing the directions for each deliverable we have.)
Are there any areas they could improve?
We’ve had nothing but good experiences with them so far.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
If you have a crystal clear creative brief with set deliverables and creative objectives, they will execute on it. I’ve recommended them to a couple of other producers and production managers in my network, and that’s what I’ve told them.

Colormatics provided full-service video production including shooting, editing, and post-production. They worked within an existing script and plan and also contributed to marketing and distribution.
New clients have more than paid for the cost of the video, and the client is in talks to engage Colormatics for another video project. They displayed extensive experience with the technical aspects of the film shoot, and the client praises them for their personable resources and dynamic atmosphere.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the creative director or Relety, as well as being in charge of getting new clients. We’re a small company so I have a few roles. We reach the top 1% of realtors in the country and design high-end publications for them. It’s our main bread and butter. We do a buyer guide and a home-listing guide – trying to elevate marketing material in a cost-effective, custom way.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Colormatics?
We had some fairly large realtors—n terms of the scope of what they were doing around the country— that we wanted to feature talking about what it’s like to use our product. There were also a couple of commercial pieces we thought of that we wanted to use in targeted marketing toward realtors to generate more business. We thought video would be a great way to do all this.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
They took care of all the video: shooting, editing, post-production. I did the writing and script but they handled the technical elements like staging, lighting, how we interviewed people. They also helped with distribution and advertising in terms of media buying, PPC, social media marketing. They guided us through the whole process.
What is the team composition?
There were four people on shoot day, and we interfaced with a few others, like a main account person, an editor, and a distribution person.
How did you come to work with Colormatics?
We’re located is in the same co-working space as them. I’d done some research locally, met them, and they seemed like good people.
How much have you invested with them?
Combining production, creative, execution, and media buying we spent around $11,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together from June until August 2019.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We’re excited about the end product too, and I loved working with them. They were super fun on the shoot and had a refreshing process. It felt like we were friends going into it. Their interests aligned with ours as well so they would hear us out while also pushing back with their own ideas. It was a collaborative effort.
We didn’t have a huge budget—I know they do much larger stuff—but they took care of us. The number of clients we got from the videos has paid off exponentially. I still get value out of the videos now, even though we launched them last summer. We’re probably going to re-engage them soon to start another round of projects. Realtors tend to refer a lot, so we not only got new clients directly but also through word of mouth.
How did Colormatics perform from a project management standpoint?
I wanted a company that reflected who I was, and they did a good job. They always updated me on milestones and prodded me along to provide or review something if I needed to. I travel a lot, but they had an online software system. We had phone calls to go over comments on the videos too.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The quality that I got for the price is pretty substantial. the other companies I talked to either had a price that meant the video wouldn’t look as professional. I felt they really took care of me and I was their number one client even though I know I wasn’t.
I could definitely tell they’d done this a lot. They were flexible in the sense of adapting to changes in my schedule. It was never a frustrating environment; they were always positive, fun, and super skilled. They brought the necessary tools to execute on the shoot itself. Everything was lit well, and the cinematography and framing looked nice. They also treated my customers well on set.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They could better explain the metrics they show on how everything is performing. I had enough information, but it could have been presented better. Sometimes they presented a lot of data and I was wondering what it all meant. I already gave them that feedback they were aware of it.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
I came with ideas and didn’t realize they would have ideas as well. They learned about me quickly, so trust them to work together and collaborate with you. The ideas that they bring out are great.
