They can continue to work on improving the speed to understand a company and begin to create materials. Overall, that would be the only area to continue to work on.

Because this is an ongoing project management of multiple tasks, sometimes there are tasks that fall through the cracks that aren't a top priority so they get forgotten. However, as soon as that is mentioned, they get right back to it and are completed in a timely manner. The open communication is most important. We are human. Things get forgotten, but it's how they respond to it that matters the most.

Project Management on the part of Dingus & Zazzy was carried out in a very thorough, efficient and detailed manner. My direct contacts with Dingus & Zazzy were always very quick to respond to any questions I had during the entire process. 

Weekly updates provided by their team proved to be invaluable as we worked through this project.

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

Dingus & Zazzy provided very high quality work at a reasonable price that was all completed within the set time frame. Customer service was beyond excellent and my support team at Dingus & Zazzy showed countless times that they are willing to take the extra step to make sure our work was completed on time and to the highest level of quality.  

Also, Dingus & Zazzy did not try to pressure me into considering the purchase of other services that I did not need. While we did have conversations regarding our company's overall marketing and advertising plan, they did not try to pressure us into buying products/services from them that would not add value to our business efforts.  

Also, a final note here... everybody I worked with came across as very humble and solely committed to our needs. I did not find with Dingus & Zazzy that stuffy and somewhat arrogant vibe you can get off of many people working in the creative arts industries. These folks are all very down to earth. 

I can't emphasize enough the professional level of service provided to our company by Dingus & Zazzy. I would highly recommend their services to any company needing quality marketing and advertising work completed at a reasonable price by a team committed to their customers' success.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Dingus & Zazzy could have done differently?

I don't recall having any times during our project where I was frustrated with the process or the work completed. For me, the project in general was run smoothly and efficiently.
