Social Media Marketing Review from Benjamin Smith
I’ve been working with TCE for over 1 year now and am blown away by their professionalism, their constant drive to bring new ideas to the table, and their fiercely analytical nature they apply to their decision making processes. I have recommended them to two fellow business owners who have both begun working with the TCE as well. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!

Video Production Review from Ayelet Halamish
This is where their expertise really shined. They knew how to guide interviews to get authentic, compelling sound bites not stiff, scripted responses. The final edits felt personal, credible, and persuasive.Beyond the creative execution, the entire process was seamless. The team was strategic, detail-oriented, and fast, delivering content that exceeded expectations while staying on schedule. If you're looking for a video partner that thinks like a marketer and produces like a top-tier creative agency, Nomadigo is the team you want on your side.

Privata's Review Sourced from Google
When I launched my luxury brand, I needed more than just a production company; I needed a creative partner who could translate elegance and form into pure visual poetry. Nomadigo delivered beyond expectation.From the sheen of silk, satin and velour every shot was a perfect shot. They understood that my designs weren’t just meant to be seen—they were meant to be felt.Beyond the visuals, their direction was impeccable. They didn’t just film; they sculpted each moment—guiding the models with precision to ensure that every movement, every pose, amplified the grace and structure of each piece. The result? A campaign that radiates the essence of luxury, where every frame tells a story of confidence, powerful women, and timeless beauty.For a brand that lives and breathes aesthetics and luxury, Nomadigo isn’t just a production team—they are artists in their own right. If you need to showcase luxury in its purest form, this is the only team to trust.

Next-Level Adventure Filmmaking—Nomadigo DeliversIn the world of extreme adventure, capturing the thrill, speed, and raw adrenaline of off-road tours isn’t easy. Most production crews would struggle to keep up—Nomadigo thrived.I’ve never seen a team so dialed into the technical and physical demands of high-speed adventure filmmaking. They rigged motorcycles and chase vehicles to capture jaw-dropping footage from angles I didn’t even think were possible. Watching them strap cameras to cars flying across rugged terrain, I kept thinking, there’s no way that gear survives this—but it did. That’s what professionals do.The final edits? Insane. Slow-motion dust clouds, water spraying up through the air, perfectly-timed speed ramps, and a music score that gets your heart racing before you even step into a vehicle. It was exactly what we wanted—even before we knew it was possible.If you want extreme adventure captured with precision, Nomadigo is the only team I’d trust.

# Big Fish PR Review**Holy crap, where do I even start with Big Fish PR.**As VP of Her ALS Story, I’ve been around the block with agencies, and let me tell you - what Big Fish did for our Warrior Weekend was absolutely unreal.These people are MAGIC. Like, I’m not even exaggerating. When we first talked to them about the Warrior Weekend, I could tell they immediately understood what we were trying to do. This isn’t just another event for us - it’s about bringing together warriors in the ALS fight and giving them a space to connect, heal, and find strength. And Big Fish? They got that from minute one.The media coverage they landed for us was insane. We’re talking major publications - the kind of outlets that usually don’t give smaller nonprofits the time of day. But somehow Big Fish made our story irresistible to them. Every pitch felt strategic, every story placement felt meaningful. They didn’t just spray and pray with press releases. They crafted our narrative in a way that made editors actually care.What blew me away was how they made our Warrior Weekend feel like THE event everyone needed to know about. The buzz they created wasn’t just noise - it was the right kind of attention that brought in the right people and resources.But here’s the thing that really got me: they never made it feel transactional. Every conversation, every strategy session, every brainstorm felt like we were working with people who genuinely gave a damn about our mission. They celebrated our wins like they were their own family’s wins.If you’re looking for a PR team that will fight for your cause like it’s their own, call Big Fish immediately. Don’t walk, RUN. These people are the real deal, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.**Trust me on this one.

I’ve been building brands for 15 years and have worked with many PR partners, but none have impressed me like BIG FISH. Their strategy, communication, processes, and talent for building relationships with publishers and media is unmatched. In just a few months, they landed major placements for Adoorn in Architectural Digest, Oprah, and Real Simple. Highly recommend!

I've been working with True Fit Marketing for a few years and couldn't be happier. Recently, they suggested a fresh website update might be a good idea. We got to creating the new website and even a NEW logo color. Their team is so talented at what they do, so we just trusted them throughout the process. We couldn't be happier with the final product. Highly recommend!!!

My business is called Oasis Senior Advisors in the Pittsburgh area and I really like working with Arlea and the team at True Fit. They are very responsive with emails and are constantly looking to get more visibility with my Facebook page. They are very good with helping me with Facebook posts and are always looking for ways to post videos of me out and about in the community. We have monthly or every other month meetings to review statistics of google searches and how we've performed online as well as talk about what's coming in the future that they can help with. A very strong group and look forward to continuing to work with them.
