When you work with Covalent, you are getting so much more than just a video production company. You are not just getting creativity but careful consideration of the creative product from beginning to end. Attention to details you didn’t even know were necessary to pay attention to. And the utmost respect for the problem being solved and all the clients that problem is being solved for. I highly recommend working with this amazing crew of smart, ambitious, fun and caring video production professionals. "
Second Act Cats's Review Sourced from Google
For years, we've worked closely with Alex Rodia and the Covalent team, and they have helped our organization create some of the most beautiful and impactful videos. Moreover, it is seamless to work with Alex/Covalent, and their approach and sensitives are truly world class, especially when interviewing/filming our service population. Above all, they truly listen to our needs and vision, and then work to bring them to life, and we're so grateful for them. "

They seamlessly integrated dynamic backgrounds and visual effects, enhancing our content’s appeal. Simply put, they fixed the video problems. Throughout the project, their commitment to clear communication and structured project management ensured a smooth process, keeping us informed about the timeline. "
Tim Clise's Review Sourced from Google
We first found Covalent when looking for a video production company to do educational and entertaining content, and they were recommended to us by folks at our SEO agency (Seer Interactive – which is also an excellent company). Their video production services are high quality, and working with the team on scripts, branding, and concepting helped us make the content more engaging and professional. We love working with the team, they are quick to pivot and accept feedback. They also have a great sense of humor and are generally just a pleasure to work with. Can't recommend them enough. "
Alycia Leno's Review Sourced from Google
Covalent brings all the equipment to the production: collaboration, creativity, technical expertise, attention to detail and a great eye for what makes a superior shot. I've enjoyed working with their team on a variety of projects for my clients. Proud to have won a District Gold Addy with Covalent for our "Dear Men" campaign to fight violence against women. "
Gordon Robertson's Review Sourced from Google
Covalent took the client's concept and ran with it while staying faithful to the creative vision. The agency was able to identify expanded content opportunities and delivered a total of 12 videos. Its fast-paced work enabled the client to debut footage on social media while the shoot was ongoing. Its team was flexible and adapted to the client's preferred tools for collaboration.
