the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the owner, founder, and president of the National Chauffer Network.
What challenge were you trying to address with Piper Creative?
They’ve developed all my online content and online footprint.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We used a lot of filming, both still and video, and all that was incorporated into a whole package being used as part of a strategy that includes our webpage, which they developed, as well as LinkedIn and YouTube. All of is it linked to our CRM, which does automatic emails as our prospect base continues to grow. They also took all the information and condensed and compiled it, along with financial analysis to be used as part of our capital raising campaign.
How did you come to work with Piper Creative?
We’re both located in Pittsburgh. I usually go to events put on by business incubators because you never know what you’re going to learn. Aaron (Founder & CEO, Piper Creative) was on a panel discussion, and his presentation was about exactly what I was trying to do. I set up a meeting with him afterword and the rest is history.
What is the status of this engagement?
We’ve been working together since August 2019. I’m planning for them to be my content and creative partner as I grow and move forward.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
They’ve been with me from the start. Nothing was done, nothing was out there when I hired them. We began this project together. The final result has been a far more seamless, professional rollout than I could have imagined.
How did Piper Creative perform from a project management standpoint?
Deadlines are always met, and we’re in constant communication. We collaborate on ideas to figure out what the next video shoot will look like. We have a page on our shared Google Drive where both sides can put stuff together if something pops into our heads. They know what I’m trying to do and where I’m going with my next steps. We’re definitely attacking this project as a team.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I just have glowing praise for the whole process and professionalism. I’m not sure what else I can say. We have a very good relationship.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, not really.

"They showed great judgment in making editorial choices."

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m a principal at 1517 Fund, a pre-seed stage venture capital fund.
What challenge were you trying to address with Piper Creative?
We were looking to release a podcast and I was happy to do the interviews and recording, but we hired Piper Creative to handle the editing.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They edited all of the episodes to make them sound professional, remove verbal tics, and write show notes to make it very high quality. I gave them the audio and they returned it as a full podcast within our schedule.
Their team also provided good recommendations for different hardware to use and which streaming services were best for us. Essentially, they were helpful from inception to publication.
What is the team composition?
I worked directly with Aaron (CEO, Piper Creative).
How did you come to work with Piper Creative?
I’d known the co-founders personally for quite a few years and I knew the CEO had his own experience running and publishing a podcast. They understood our mission and what we were looking to accomplish, so I felt I could hand over the raw audio and they’d know how to reach our goals.
How much have you invested with them?
Their services cost less than $5,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together from November 2019–January 2020.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We’re really pleased with the podcast. We recently did a soft launch for it and we’ve gotten great feedback from our community. Many people have commented on how well produced it sounds, which is largely thanks to Piper Creative. We’re very happy with it, so when we look to create another season, Piper Creative will be at the top of our list.
How did Piper Creative perform from a project management standpoint?
Everything went really smoothly. They worked within a fairly tight schedule, so I appreciated that.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I gave them a lot of leeway in editing the audio and episodes, and they knew what to cut and keep, along with what music they should pick and other details, too. They showed great judgment in making editorial choices. I gave them relatively tight deadlines and they met them quite well, even for the trial episodes.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, I was very pleased with them.

Video Production for Luxury Gas Lamp Company
“Their services helped us establish a level of credibility that we didn’t have in the past.”

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the president at a luxury gas lamp company.
What challenge were you trying to address with Piper Creative?
They produced a series of how-to videos for us. We needed to educate our customers on the installation of one of our products. Our team found that the structure of a video was much more conducive to engaging and educating customers. We were looking for FAQ, basic knowledge, and installation content to be added to the videos.
What was the scope of their involvement?
It was a pretty simple two-camera production setup with a spot mic. They created a series of videos according to our expectations in just a few weeks.
What is the team composition?
We worked with about two members of their team.
How did you come to work with Piper Creative?
I had known Aaron (CEO, Piper Creative) for quite a while, and he had a good reputation within the space. After reaching out, they seemed like the team for the job.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent about $2,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked with them in September 2019.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The final videos came out great, and we received a strong response from them. We’d definitely work with them again when we have the need. The videos are up on YouTube and within our site’s video gallery. We’re seeing a steady number of views on both channels.
Our team is able to direct people there when they have questions. Additionally, when we do incremental releases on LinkedIn and Facebook, we get several likes and compliments. There’s definitely a positive impact.
How did Piper Creative perform from a project management standpoint?
They moved through the process very quickly. It was speedy and collaborative, which was important to us because we were on a time crunch. If I texted them, I knew I’d hear back in about an hour.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their services helped us establish a level of credibility that we didn’t have in the past. In our few rounds of edits, we found that they were happy to take care of anything that came up. We even noticed an issue two months after the engagement, and they didn’t hesitate to correct the problem.
Are there any areas they could improve?
It may be beneficial to close projects by offering their continued help in future projects. They may want to be a bit more proactive on that end.
Beyond delivering content, Piper Creative has become an ongoing development and business partner, providing constant support and engaging in vibrant collaboration. Their professionalism and communication are also notable.
