      Product Design Review from Manuel Colom

      Working with ANML on the Yummly app experience and the Yummly Smart Thermometer (IoT) was an outstanding collaboration. Yummly combined personalized recipe discovery, meal planning, and guided cooking into a highly curated food experience, while the Smart Thermometer extended that ecosystem into connected cooking with real-time temperature tracking and assisted preparation workflows. As Director of UX at Yummly, I worked closely with ANML throughout both initiatives, and they operated almost as a seamless extension of our internal design team. Their work consistently demonstrated excellent design craft, strong product thinking, and a highly collaborative mindset. Beyond delivering high-quality UX and visual design, their contribution helped sharpen and strengthen the overall value proposition of the products by making complex cooking experiences feel approachable, premium, and intuitive for users.

      Web Design Review from Nathan Thornburgh

      As Anthony Bourdain's partners, we were approached by CNN to create an immersive digital site that would provide a beautiful home for each destination covered by Bourdain's show Parts Unknown. It was a huge task not least because there were already close to 100 destinations to integrate into a usable global site. But also because the site was meant to live up to the beauty and aesthetic of the television program. And it needed to be done in a way that satisfied both our mainstream luxury advertisers (like LandRover, ANA, and more) but also the famously high standards of Bourdain himself. ANML engaged in this 18-month design and build process with outstanding workmanship and creative decision-making. They navigated wildly different and demanding stakeholders. And in the end they built a site that still looks fresh even nearly a decade later. If you want to make lasting work, there is no one else I could recommend more.

      Web Design Review from Alex Lacerda

      We partnered with ANML to evolve our digital experience in a way that stayed true to our brand while modernizing how we present our products and story. As a company with a long history in music, it was important to find a partner who could respect that legacy while helping us move forward. ANML took the time to understand our brand, our audience, and the role our products play for musicians. They built on our existing foundation and translated it into a more cohesive and intuitive experience that better reflects who we are today. Their team brought strong thinking across UX and design, helping us improve how content is structured, how products are presented, and how users navigate the experience. The collaboration was smooth and highly responsive throughout. The end result is a more polished and modern experience that still feels authentic to our brand. ANML was a thoughtful and reliable partner, and we would highly recommend them.

      Branding Review from Andy Dickhut

      Ive had the opportunity to collaborate with numerous creative agencies throughout my career and BayCreative has delivered the level of insight, professionalism, and genuine partnership that I have experienced with the best of them. They have been true collaborators, invested in CFCUs vision and committed to helping us bring it to life. Our relationship with BayCreative began when we sought to undertake a full-scale rebranding initiative. CFCU has always prided itself on serving our community with a people-first approach, but we needed a refreshed identity that reflected who weve become and where were heading. We didnt just want a new logo or a new color palettewe wanted to redefine what Community First stood for in the modern financial landscape. BayCreative understood that right away. From the earliest discovery conversations, the BC team listened carefully, challenged us thoughtfully, and helped uncover an authentic narrative at the core of our brand. They guided us not toward trends or gimmicks, but toward something enduring and true to who we are. They have a team of talented creatives who brought our new brand identity to life. From graphic designers to copywriters to video editors, the BayCreative team demonstrated deep expertise. The final deliverables included a refreshed logo, a full identity package, and a bold new brand positioning platform we now call The New Local. This wasnt just a tagline or a sloganit was a strategic redefinition of who we are and why we exist. If you are looking for an agency that will take the time to understand your organization, push your thinking in productive ways, and deliver exceptional creative with professionalism, I cannot recommend BayCreative more highly. They are the real deal!

      We've hired Gorilla Creative for multiple videos, including C-Level interviews, customer stories, IPO roadshows, motion graphics, and animations. Eric and Matt have been amazing to work with. After evaluating several video agencies, we chose Gorilla Creative and have never regretted it. They expertly managed our project, delivering high-quality work on time and on budget. They listened to our needs, provided solutions, and handled all the curve balls we threw at them. Gorilla Creative has been an exceptional partner! We will work together again!

      Working with Gorilla Creative is a smooth, professional, and fun experience. Their team acted as a true thought partner and extension of our team when filming a customer testimonial that needed to feel highly polished and make the "technical" easy to understand. Gorilla Creative brought creativity and deep experience that went a long way in bringing our story to life, and it was refreshing how quickly the work moved forward with a partner working in lockstep with our team. The Gorilla Creative team are masters of their craft and a joy to work with. Highly highly recommend this amazing crew!
