The team was always very quick to respond, thinking one step ahead and never missed a deadline.

Also whenever we needed to iterate on something they were doing it in no time and it felt more like an internal team member than an agency.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Working together with the team is a very nice experience. In the collaboration with previous companies it always felt a bit slow and if they were not totally bought in one shared success - especially if it comes to iterations and changing things. With the Magic Design team i never felt that and in combination with the quality of the team it was a truly amazing experience.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Magic Design could have done differently?

Sometimes I could have used a bit more guidance on the briefings or what the team needs.
