      VR/AR Review from Sam Rogers

      The fine folks at Groove Jones really delivered with this project! See for yourself at https://4-h.org/clover/activities/rockets-to-the-moon/ Our organization had worked with them before, but this was my first time...and my first time working with an AR project at all. Giving all the stars in all the categories isn't something I do much of, but in every way Groove Jones earned it. From the beginning, they got the intention and guided us through the choices needed to keep us within our fixed budget and immovable timeline. The team consistently delivered what we needed to get approvals from our internal and external stakeholders, and worked with us when we faced unexpected delays and technical surprises. We're just launched and already looking for the next opportunities to work with Groove Jones again! Totally professional, and totally fun :) They really made our team and our brand look good.

      VR/AR Review from Amy Chao, CMP

      The client had an exceptionally positive experience with Groove Jones. The agency delved into new technology boosting user experience, ensuring it aligned with the existing environment and was multi-channel compatible. Groove Jones in less than 90 days unveiled an interactive platform that was not only visually captivating but also had a striking impact. Throughout the journey, it remained communicative, promptly addressing modifications and infusing their unique insights. (verified via email)

      VR/AR Review from Alan Fletcher

      The client collaborated with Groove Jones on a challenging initiative, marked by a lofty yet vague objective and a pressing deadline. Discovered through online research and having no prior association, the collaboration swiftly took off. In merely three months, Groove Jones conceptualized and constructed a 20x16x10 Holodeck for the client's participation in the MWC event in Barcelona. (Verified via email)

      After working with Steve and Mark at my last company, I was excited to recommend them for a high-profile project at my new company. To say they crushed it would be an understatement. Even against a compressed timeline, they delivered top-shelf work that has set a new standard for video projects going forward. From day one, they just get what you're trying to do and elevate it. If you're in need of visually impactful marketing, you won't find better partners than the guys at SAC.

      Christine is the best! She takes ideas & makes them 10 times better. And she actually helps implement them! I’m a business owner with 100’s of ideas, but struggle with making it happen. That’s where Christine helps!

      Christine has changed the life of my business with her expertise! I have learned so much from her over the years and I know my career wouldn’t be where it is today without her. I cannot recommend her work enough and she is my go to referral if you need social media!

      Christine and her team are incredible, I really cannot recommend them enough. I’ve seen Christine work actual magic for clients I’ve shared with her, while also hiring her for our own services. Christine goes all in for her clients, coming up with unique ways to get attention. I always thought businesses that were in the press all the time were just “lucky”, but I’ve now come to realize that they are successful because they have Christine by their side. Christine is a ninja, she does her job so well that the public doesn’t even know she’s there. Can’t recommend Poster Consulting enough!
