      Julie Francis's Review Sourced from Google

      Edited: from response- leadership NEVER reached out. I’m not shocked but if you’re going to put it out into the universe the least you can do is follow through. Complete dumpster fire!Such a mess trying to switch to them and get items sorted out. Kept finding missing pieces of the puzzle on my own without them noticing. Continually reassured, yet no progress was made. Returning to my prior marketing company.

      VC1990's Review Sourced from Google

      If you are a SF agent I would stay far away. I signed up (and added significant additional funding) about 6 months ago and had regular calls with my account manager. We reviewed the lead volume and the account manager always made it sound like great results when it came to leads/calls/impressions, but when I cross referenced what they claimed to be providing compared to my ECRM dashboards there was no change in lead volume from before I signed up when I was receiving leads organically. I also cross referenced our call log with the supposed call-in leads phone numbers and almost all of them were mistaken 1 second dials with the prospect hanging up right away (Butler Till were counting all of these as leads). The account manager kept telling me he would figure out with his team lead why we weren’t getting leads, but they never got back to me. It got so bad that the someone from corporate even asked to be on a call so he could see what was going on. Still no uptick in lead volume after that. Save yourself the trouble and find another vendor.

      Very disappointing results..they said I would get significantly more leads than I actually wound up receiving and they really don’t seem to care whether you get the results you’re looking for. I received much better results with other paid search companies

      I run a detailing shop and needed an instagram video done for the business, didn’t really know what to expect but Create Video made it easy. I’m not great with cameras or any of this stuff but they explained everything and were super straight forward to work with. They showed up, got the shots, and didn’t waste any time. The video came out awesome, looks clean and shows off what we do. Got a couple new customers already. These guys know what they’re doin.

      Working with ParcFilm was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. We hired them to produce our company's brand story video, and their team demonstrated the highest level of professionalism and creativity. From the initial concept meeting to the final edits, they were collaborative, insightful, and truly listened to our vision. The final product exceeded our expectations—the cinematography is stunning, the storytelling is compelling, and it perfectly captures the essence of our brand. We have already received incredible feedback on the video. We wholeheartedly recommend ParcFilm to any business looking for a top-tier production partner. – Pradeep Tokas, L&D Business Head, dss+

The quality of the recordings is consistently outstanding, producing crisp, clear audio that truly elevates our podcast. Beyond the top-notch equipment and acoustics, the staff are incredibly friendly and supportive. A special shout-out to Jeremy and Ethan, who went above and beyond to provide invaluable assistance during both of my sessions. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a professional and welcoming environment to create high-quality podcasts.

  • Audio engineer or sound engineer: $50-$150 per hour
  • Music producer: $50-$500+ per hour, depending on experience and reputation

Some studios also offer daily rates. Mid-range professional studios often cost $500-$1,000 per day for recording sessions.

  • High-quality audio samples or demo reels (30-120 seconds each)
    Most professional portfolios include short audio demo clips between 30 seconds and 2 minutes that highlight specific elements, like dialogue clarity, music production, and acoustic sound design.
  • Evidence of experience across multiple industries 
    The best audio production companies demonstrate experience across 3-5 industries, indicating that the agency can adapt to different creative and technical requirements.

  • Proof of measurable impact or performance results
    Some portfolios include metrics that demonstrate the success of the project. For example, videos with strong sound design can increase social media shares by 35%, and sonic branding elements help 90% of consumers remember a brand.
  • Recent work from the past 2-3 years
