Working with Kenneth was an incredible experience from start to finish. He was hired to shoot content for our website and socials, including photography as well as a short video. He truly understood our vibe and captured our restaurant in a way that felt both elevated and authentic. The attention to detail, lighting, and composition made every dish and cocktail look exceptional. Beyond the final product, he was professional, efficient, and great to collaborate with on-site. The content has made a noticeable impact on our website and marketing. Highly recommend for any restaurant looking to elevate their visuals.

My husband and I own a start up and have worked with Aly, Justin, and Austin at Clique for a complete rebranding and website redesign and are now working with Jeff for continuous marketing and managing our ad spend. I can’t say enough good things about this team and this company. They are creative, innovative, dedicated, and they CARE. They treat our business as their own, asking thoughtful questions and guiding us through our growth. Our new site visits have conversion rates have skyrocketed, doing daily numbers that our old site and unstructured marketing did in months. I can’t say thank you enough to this team.

DDP conducted an amazing interview for me promoting my Veteran and PTSD awareness event 2 tough 2 talk. Their team took care of all of the effects,lighting and digital artwork for our performers. Her team showed up on time and conducted themselves like professionals. In addition, they also pieced together a recap for me to promote my future events. I am blown away by their quick action, creative angle and style that they've given my event. Beyond anything imagined you took everything to a superior level. I could have never done that on my own. Thank you so much Digital Distortion Production cant wait to work with you again!
