5.0★
Video Editing Review from Jefferson Tobkin
My team has been working with ConvertViews for close to 2 years now. Without a doubt, we wouldnt have been able to profitably scale several of our clients accounts to 7 and 8 figures a year without the video ad creatives Andrew and his team provided. Its been a great partnership and hes super easy to work with as well!If youre looking for UGC video ads that can help grow your business, Andrew is the one you need to talk to. He helps brainstorm ideas, provides scripts, helps us find talent, and draws on his deep experience to make sure our videos are edited in a way to bring in the best ROI.

Having worked with the team at Odysseus Arms on several occasions over the last few years on a variety of strategy projects, I cannot write enough positive things about them. This is a wonderful, female-led agency that truly partners with clients. The OA team digs deep to understand businesses and their consumers, and they uses these insights to produce inspired, innovative marketing solutions. The results speak for themselves: their work is human-centered in the most beautiful sense of the term.These are great people. They commit 100%.They love what they do, and they happen to be excellent at it.
