      iPhone Review from Gabriel Sabadin

      We engaged SolveIt to develop a minimum viable product (MVP) app, including a user-friendly iOS design, an artificial intelligence (AI) model, and a monetization strategy while ensuring General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance and preparing for future integrations. Despite a tight deadline, SolveIt delivered the app on time and efficiently handled beta-testing within three months, allowing us to gather feedback and launch successfully. We acquired our first 1,000 users within a month of launching the app. SolveIt's team communicated effectively, addressed issues proactively, and maintained a high level of autonomy, bringing diverse expertise that greatly benefited our project. We appreciate the agency's dedication and professionalism.

      Sean Busch's Review Sourced from Google

      Stuart and his team are very impressive to work with. We came to them with a concept and very preliminary (Kindergarten-level) drawings. They were able to take that plan and deliver something market ready in a few short meetings. They also helped with the supplier meetings to ensure tolerances, resin mixtures, and other details we had no idea about - were done to the level we were expecting. The end result was a physical product that carried two patents (which they helped with, too) and something truly innovative to an otherwise mature, sleepy category. I was very impressed by how the Prime Studio team worked and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. In fact, I've referred a few people there way already.

      Doug Stukenborg's Review Sourced from Google

      As co-Founder and former CEO of Welly, I can highly recommend Prime Studio as a product design partner. They worked seemlessly with our team and creative agency partner to ideate, develop options and ultimately decide on our final product and packaging design. They sought to understand our strategy and the essence of the brand in their process. I also appreciated that while we had a point person from their team to support our day-to-day efforts that they always found ways to gather ideas from their broader team to optimize the overall design. Finally, they worked closely with our manufacturing partners to ensure the design went from drawing to a physical product flawlessly. We would not have had the success we had without their partnership and support.

Throughout our partnership, Prime Studio consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. Their team was highly knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated to delivering high-quality results. Prime Studio's innovative approach and attention to detail significantly contributed to the success of our projects. They were always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that our goals were met and that the end client received the best possible outcomes. We highly recommend Prime Studio to any organization looking for a reliable and skilled partner for branding and product experience.

      I had the pleasure of collaborating with the founder, Todd and his team to develop a comprehensive messaging and branding strategy, as well as to design a website for a sustainable event planning concept. Todd's attentiveness and ability to truly understand our challenges and the narrative we aimed to convey were truly commendable. He effectively captured and communicated our story in a manner that felt authentic and resonated with our audience. Todd and his team's work exceeded our expectations and set a high standard for quality.

      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.
