      SEO Review from Vlad Komovich

      We hired Elit-web to promote our project in several regional markets where competition was quite aggressive.They took full responsibility for market and niche research, providing us with detailed technical documentation, a well-thought-out backlog, and visualization of user journeys.What I especially liked was their approach to priorities. Elit-web didn't try to cover everything at once. They helped us identify the most important tasks, focusing on our long-term business goals, not just technical indicators. It felt like the team was genuinely interested in the success of our product, and not just closing another task.

      Elit-Web helped us take our PPC campaigns to a completely new level. They very quickly understood our goals, prepared a clear strategy and launched advertising, which began to yield results from the first weeks. I was especially impressed by how the team combines classic PPC experience with AI tools.Communication was easy and transparent: regular updates, clear analytics and quick reactions to any changes.We received more quality leads at a lower cost, and cooperation was as comfortable as possible.

      Product Design Review from Manuel Colom

      Working with ANML on the Yummly app experience and the Yummly Smart Thermometer (IoT) was an outstanding collaboration. Yummly combined personalized recipe discovery, meal planning, and guided cooking into a highly curated food experience, while the Smart Thermometer extended that ecosystem into connected cooking with real-time temperature tracking and assisted preparation workflows. As Director of UX at Yummly, I worked closely with ANML throughout both initiatives, and they operated almost as a seamless extension of our internal design team. Their work consistently demonstrated excellent design craft, strong product thinking, and a highly collaborative mindset. Beyond delivering high-quality UX and visual design, their contribution helped sharpen and strengthen the overall value proposition of the products by making complex cooking experiences feel approachable, premium, and intuitive for users.

      Web Design Review from Nathan Thornburgh

      As Anthony Bourdain's partners, we were approached by CNN to create an immersive digital site that would provide a beautiful home for each destination covered by Bourdain's show Parts Unknown. It was a huge task not least because there were already close to 100 destinations to integrate into a usable global site. But also because the site was meant to live up to the beauty and aesthetic of the television program. And it needed to be done in a way that satisfied both our mainstream luxury advertisers (like LandRover, ANA, and more) but also the famously high standards of Bourdain himself. ANML engaged in this 18-month design and build process with outstanding workmanship and creative decision-making. They navigated wildly different and demanding stakeholders. And in the end they built a site that still looks fresh even nearly a decade later. If you want to make lasting work, there is no one else I could recommend more.

      We partnered with ANML to evolve our digital experience in a way that stayed true to our brand while modernizing how we present our products and story. As a company with a long history in music, it was important to find a partner who could respect that legacy while helping us move forward.ANML took the time to understand our brand, our audience, and the role our products play for musicians. They built on our existing foundation and translated it into a more cohesive and intuitive experience that better reflects who we are today.Their team brought strong thinking across UX and design, helping us improve how content is structured, how products are presented, and how users navigate the experience. The collaboration was smooth and highly responsive throughout.The end result is a more polished and modern experience that still feels authentic to our brand. ANML was a thoughtful and reliable partner, and we would highly recommend them.

      Living Proof Creative’s biggest strength is imbuing our engagement with a personal touch. They build strong relationships with their clients and are deeply invested in the project at hand. They go the extra mile to achieve your goals. Equally notable is their brilliant resources’ technical expertise. Since I’m not experienced in this business space, they seem like tech wizards. They create stunning web designs and are talented at digital marketing. In all our meetings, they're upfront and accountable. They're even forthcoming about their weaknesses. That level of transparency gives me requisite insight to make the best data-driven business decisions.

He was available at any point, day or night, and very patient with my lack of programming knowledge, even making a thorough guide so I can make future edits.

      Randy Mace's Review Sourced from Google

      My company tapped BRING to help tell a human interest story for a national client. Not only do they get the importance of the emotional connection through branding with video production, they brought extra tools and a great attitude and some subtle ideas to help make the impact needed. All while meeting the deadline and staying within my budget. The subjects being interviewed in the feature were so impressed that that sent a box of swag, and personal hand written thank you notes about the sensitivity and professionalism of the crew. A great win for my company, we will use them again!
