Amazon Review from Anonymous
Overall, Nuanced Media's transparency in sharing their reports and proficiency stands out. While the collaboration has scaled down, the team continues to deliver quality results and quick responses to questions. The client's orders have grown every month since their partnership with The Nuanced Media team began. They advised changing the vendor account to a seller's account, uploaded major product lines, and now run PPC and DSP campaigns. The Nuanced Media team smoothed an Amazon account for a pump manufacturer.

WordPress Review from Jennifer LaNasa
LaNasa Realty Inc has been around for a long time in the New Orleans area. I reached out to Online Optimism to update my website and tell the story of my family history in the New Orleans area and how I have been involved in this history as a Real Estate Broker early on in my career. I needed a web site to show that LaNasa Realty does all aspects of Real Estate from Commercial Sales and Leasing to Residential Sales, and Rentals. Short term rentals have become very popular in New Orleans.

Elyssa Katz Senior Director, Marketing and Communication at National Alliance for Care at Home
5.0★
Branding Review from Elyssa Katz
The Outright team is an absolute joy to work with! They took us from a kernel of a brand identity to a fully realized brand, merging two organizations, cultures, and constituencies into one under significant time constraints. Since we began working with Outright in August of 2024, we have developed and launched our core brand and related assets as well as three event brands, three sub brands, and a variety of practical digital and print assets. Not only is Outright's creative consistently excellent, but they are also a practical partner able to work with agility as an extension of your team. Our experience was so positive in initial brand development work that we've continued to work together for over 18 months and have signed them as a partner for separate digital campaign projects where they again delivered results that accomplished our internal team goals and exceeded the expectations of our external stakeholders. I would recommend Outright to anyone looking for a true creative thought partner.

I am so glad we worked with Outright for our website redesign and launch. The Outright team is a pleasure to work with -- thorough, responsive, and patient with the learning curves on our end, and a true thought partner, offering helpful guidance every step, from website functions to aesthetics. The team provided excellent support for our launch. As a nonprofit handling highly sensitive work, we had complete trust in them. We love the finished product, and our audiences do, too!

I am really lucky that I have worked with Steve Dorst in my hometown to shoot a promo, presents my town for worldwide WRI Prizes. I have learned a lot from Steve as his colleague of him.I have not seen a director before, can handle a lot of stuffs together himself for making film. Like; directing the film in a limited time, getting and understanding the story about where ever place he works, handling any equipment alone (being sound and gaffer, drone pilot, writer, grips, DOP, DIT etc.) , coping with the people in the places, he works for his projects, praying like a priest for the good weather to shoot nice frames to reflect the real and nice scapes and taking care of the kids.Finally editing.and handing out the film. When I saw the promo he shot for my hometown I could not beleive my eyes it is my hometown. He was great tough and master of succeed of shooters ;))I can scream until my lungs give out "Talent".Amazing. He would better stays in the states for not to him taking over our jobs here. Man good to know you, I can't even chase you.I wish your career last for long.Hugs.

Steve Dorst made a fantastic video for us on a particularly tight deadline! It was a challenging assignment as he had to film in Senegal for three days and then write and edit a script in both English and French. Steve’s experience working with development organizations was evident as he turned around a strong script in a very short time. We were incredibly proud to feature the video for the Senegalese delegation at the World Bank Group Annual Meetings Our team is pleased with the result and looks forward to collaborating with Steve again.
