      Web Design Review from Roshan Kodabuckus

      Sara and the team at Mojo are fantastic at what they do. I reviewed a number of vendors before moving forward with Mojo Media Agency, and Im very happy that we decided to move forward with them. They know their business inside out, from technical knowledge to understanding their audience to platform efficiency. And they are incredibly patient, always enthusiastic, great at problem solving and we are extremely pleased with our final website. I highly recommend Sara and the team, and I have a lot of praise for their technical skills, stakeholder management, and ability to deliver what was agreed (and beyond).

      Web Design Review from Chirag Patel

      Mojo Media did an amazing job building our new website for District AV. We worked with Sara, and she was great from start to finish. From the beginning, she listened to the vision I had for the site, understood our goals, and translated that into a design that was exactly in line with what I was looking for. District AV is a residential technology design and integration company, so it was important that the website felt polished, professional, and aligned with the high-end homes and clients we work with. Mojo did a great job helping us present our services clearly, including lighting control, motorized shades, audio/video, networking, security cameras, smart home control, and support. I've been involved in building a handful of websites in the past, and this was by far the easiest process. Sara was responsive, easy to communicate with, and kept the project moving without making it feel overwhelming. The design was on point from the initial direction I shared, and the final site gave us a much stronger online presence. Since the site is still new, its too early to measure long-term traffic or lead generation results, but the immediate impact is clear. We now have a professional website that better reflects the quality of work we do and gives us a great place to send potential clients, builders, designers, and referral partners. Overall, we're very happy with the final result and would highly recommend Mojo Media to any business looking for a strong website design partner.

      Branding Review from Jonathan Brown

      Igawa Design is one of the most contemporary and strategic thinking Brand and Design agencies in California. I've had the pleasure of working with Sven and his team on multiple programs and projects and every time Ive been struck by how relevant and unique the solutions and work are. Modern, fresh, dynamic and sophisticated, their work hits the mark every time. They are great partners and great people to work with. For Memorex, Sven was responsible for a complete re thinking of our clients core identity, repositioning it toward a new audience and mindset. This new direction was then applied to a complete range of consumer packing and point of sale, resulting in a fresh new face that stood out in a crowded and cluttered sector.

      Branding Review from Matt Lyon

      HydraPak engaged Igawa to re-brand the company at a pivotal moment in our growth. With a surge of growth, we had a chance to re-brand the 15 year-old company and reintroduce it to the marketplace. Sven delivered an entirely new brand book that we used to reposition ourselves in the marketplace. As a young company, we used this as a blue print for our future projects and marketing relationships. The work was spot-on, nailing who we were and capturing it in a way that was compelling to others. We were so happy with the work, we also used Sven to re-brand our Bottle Bright and Polar Bottle acquisitions. I did not think that someone else could tell me something about my brand that I didn't already know, but Sven proved me wrong. I highly recommend Igawa.

      Branding Review from Lindsey Lupow

      A Game-Changing Experience with ChrisRubinCreativ (CRC) From the moment we met Chris and the CRC team, we knew we were in the hands of professionals who truly understood the art and science of branding. Chris's passion for driving growth for small and medium-sized businesses is evident in every interaction. His deep understanding of brand strategy and messaging, combined with his personal touch, made the entire process feel collaborative and tailored to our unique needs. The Brand Playbook CRC delivered was nothing short of exceptional. It wasn't just a document; it was a comprehensive guide that captured the essence of our brand, resonating with our target audience's needs and interests. Every page was a testament to CRC's meticulous process and dedication to authenticity. Working with Chris was a masterclass in branding. His approach is both analytical and creative, ensuring that every decision is backed by data and sharply insightful. In conclusion, if you're looking for a branding agency that combines craft, process, and experience to deliver unparalleled results, look no further than CRC. I am immensely proud of the work we accomplished together and cannot recommend them highly enough. Our brand has never been stronger, and we owe a significant part of that success to Chris and his exceptional team.

      Aaron Summers's Review Sourced from Google

      This is a terrible company and certainly does not care about it's customers or helping brands. I called to speak with a representative of the company and without even talking with me about my needs, they reply by saying "we are not interested in working with you" and then hung up. It was very unprofessional and just shows how much they value the people that are paying their bills. I would not ever recommend reaching out to this company or consider using them in any capacity. - in response to your company’s reply: since I cannot reply to your response. I will add to my original review. The fact that you want to try and play it off as if I called the wrong number is almost as comical as you guys having someone go leave a fake positive review after I left a negative review about your company. You’ve never received a single review on your company for the entirety of you being in business and then somehow one hour after I left a negative review you magically have someone leave a positive review try and refute what I said. I will attach a photo of my outgoing call to the number on your website showing I did indeed call and talk to one of your representatives who is out collecting any data on what we were hoping to hire you for, tell me they are not interested in working with our company.
