Artisan Talent Reviews & Testimonials
Kirsten AD's Review Sourced from Google
I've enjoyed working with Artisan both on internal projects and being placed with clients through them. While they don't see the same number of roles as some of the bigger companies, they do tend to get jobs with higher pay rates than some of the other staffing agencies - and definitely advocate for the talent when it comes to dealing with clients. I would definitely recommend getting in touch if you're looking for work in a digital/creative role.
Nancy Antol's Review Sourced from Google
I worked for Artisan as a Contract Copywriter for more than three years. The team did an excellent job finding me a contract with an outstanding company. In addition to a great placement, Artisan provided me with very good benefits, including 401K and some paid time off, which is unusual in the industry. I highly recommend Artisan to anyone who is looking for contract work.
erik johnsen's Review Sourced from Google
In a world of agencies that are mostly out for a quick buck, they build relationships on both the client and talent side. It is a refreshing change of pace to see such integrity. They are fair and honest people that I worked with for years. If you are looking for talent, or have a talent, I can not recommend them more.

Aida Pioneer Reviews & Testimonials

Branding Review from Alexander Kulinkovich
We hired Aida Pioneer to create a name, logo, and overall look for our company. The project started with a meeting where they asked us lots of questions about what we needed and wanted. Using this information, Aida Pioneer made a plan that showed all the important steps and things they would give us at each stage.After they did their research, the Aida Pioneer team gave us a few different name ideas. Once we picked one, they smoothly moved on to making the overall look for our company. Each part happened on time, just like we planned in the first meeting. Because we worked together, we now have a really good name, logo, and overall look for our business.

Branding Review from Sergey Shayakhmetov
We approached Aida Pioneer to create a name and identity for our upcoming mobile application, set to launch later this year. The project kicked off with a discovery meeting, during which we delved into our objectives, target audience, competition, and all other pertinent aspects we wanted them to consider. Utilizing this information, Aida Pioneer meticulously crafted a project timeline, outlining the necessary steps and delivery dates in detail.

Digital Services Review from Sergei Shnip
Our local office of Mastercard has been cooperating with the agency Aida Pioneer Group for 2.5 years. During this time a number of projects have been implemented to develop naming, designs of various banking and financial products, creative promotion concepts with the production of all necessary materials. Together we have launched about 10 large-scale advertising campaigns. We are glad to cooperate with Aida Pioneer Group and are certainly willing to refer the agency!
