      If you’re looking for convenience, this is not the place. They advertise delivery in about 25 minutes, but it consistently takes 2 to 3 hours. (I only live 15mins away). I’ve given them multiple chances because their deals used to be good, but it’s just not worth the hassle anymore. They’ve also given me the wrong order before and told me I had to come back in person to fix it only to find out they were out of the item and substituted it without saying anything. customer service seems to be lacking. Most companies accommodate you due to the inconvenience they don't seem to carry here. Overall, not reliable and not worth the inconvenience.

      This review has been a longtime coming. I have had the pleasure of working with both Rio and more recently Glenn on countless branding and marketing projects for financial services, healthcare and technology clients. Every time I bring them onto a project, they feel like an extension of both my team and the client. To them its more than just another project. Because of that, they're my go-to creative partners any time I need to explore a new brand direction with a client or need additional expertise on strategic marketing execution. They have decades of industry experience and produce quality creative. I think they're a good fit if you're looking to reach your audience on a deeper level and create a long lasting impression with your customer base.

      Glenn Sagon and Rio Phior are the best at helping clients uncover insights that lead to great marketing strategy, branding and advertising. I've been in the industry for 30+ years, and have worked with many talented agencies in my time, but Sagon-Phior goes above and beyond to ensure your business reaches its targets with precision, efficiency and creativity leading to high impact results. I can't say enough wonderful things about them and their team. If you want to grow your business, call them!

      Ryan Gordon's Review Sourced from Google

      We commissioned Sickboat to create a short video for our wedding. The celebration was held in Big Sur, CA and Scott kindly agreed to make the trip. We didn’t give him much direction but we are absolutely thrilled with the final product. Scott managed to capture every moment; from the walk down the isle, to the late night dancing and shenanigans, his shots recorded every emotion. His drone work of the Big Sur cliffs and editing exceeded everything we had hoped for. His creative vision produced something that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Scott and the Sickboat team for any video projects, big or small, near or far.

      It's been amazing working with SickBoat! These guys are awesome and bring a ton of great creative and functional insight to the table. We needed help with a website and so much more. SickBoat took a lot of stress out of the launching process and helped create a seem-less system for future success. Your brand and vision are in good hands!

      If you are looking for an awesome creative agency that will not only listen to your needs but deliver a unique video, website, or branding job, Scott and the Sickboat crew are the team. They have the experience and talent that lends itself to bringing your vision to fruition - plus they are fun to work with! Scott produced a short film surrounding an epic trip to Belize for our non-profit excursion. The story that Sickboat was able to tell allowed us to promote future trips and volunteering efforts in a dynamic and compelling fashion. I highly recommend Sickboat Creative Studios

      Design Services Review from Monita K. Bell

      The fields for this review were a bit limiting, as Square Lightning partnered with us for both design and editorial services, including writing and copy editing, as well as sourcing photographers across the country. As a small team within a nonprofit, we simply don't have the capacity to pull off a magazine project on our own. Thanks to the photography and editorial help (the writing and editing of half the stories) and complete design services Square Lightning provided, we have a beautiful, impressive product that well represents not only our organization but, more importantly, the families we serve. Their partnership has been invaluable!
