  The fine folks at Groove Jones really delivered with this project!See for yourself at https://4-h.org/clover/activities/rockets-to-the-moon/Our organization had worked with them before, but this was my first time...and my first time working with an AR project at all. Giving all the stars in all the categories isn't something I do much of, but in every way Groove Jones earned it.From the beginning, they got the intention and guided us through the choices needed to keep us within our fixed budget and immovable timeline. The team consistently delivered what we needed to get approvals from our internal and external stakeholders, and worked with us when we faced unexpected delays and technical surprises. We're just launched and already looking for the next opportunities to work with Groove Jones again! Totally professional, and totally fun :) They really made our team and our brand look good.

  The client had an exceptionally positive experience with Groove Jones. The agency delved into new technology boosting user experience, ensuring it aligned with the existing environment and was multi-channel compatible. Groove Jones in less than 90 days unveiled an interactive platform that was not only visually captivating but also had a striking impact. Throughout the journey, it remained communicative, promptly addressing modifications and infusing their unique insights. (verified via email)

  The client collaborated with Groove Jones on a challenging initiative, marked by a lofty yet vague objective and a pressing deadline. Discovered through online research and having no prior association, the collaboration swiftly took off. In merely three months, Groove Jones conceptualized and constructed a 20x16x10 Holodeck for the client's participation in the MWC event in Barcelona. (Verified via email)

  I was the consulting producer and writer who brought in Groove Jones to build and bring to life a real-time motion capture CGI Otter for the Saint Louis Aquarium, and I am extremely glad that I did! With a challenged budget and schedule, the folk[s] at Groove Jones came up with great solutions. They created a very simple and intuitive system [that] allowed me to train the actors and get them up to speed in two days. Amazing and great people to work with! (Verified via email)

  I have worked with Dale/Gary/Dan over the years on various projects, and that brings with it a layer of comfort and stability that I appreciate during the hustle & bustle of our schedule. Beyond knowing that they will deliver, they are tremendous collaborators who bring deep knowledge of leading tech innovations to the table that really help bring a concept to life.

  What can I say about Groove Jones that hasn't already been stated? They were professional every step of the way from pre-production to even the event itself. The end product, a VR app, was the talk of our booth and impressed our executive team. Groove Jones, while they only had to build the app, [was] on hand to assist our team in showing the finished product. Overall, very happy with what we did with them and I would recommend them to anyone needing VR/AR. (Verified via email)

  Review Date: 28 January, 2019

  We embarked on a very aggressive project on a very aggressive timeline. Although Boyden & Youngblutt hadn't worked on a VR project prior, we "are" very proficient at storytelling and producing television spots. Couple that with Groove Jones's attentiveness to detail and ability to bridge the knowledge gap and you have an extremely successful outcome. One of Groove's greatest assets is the effort to work as a true partner — not to mention the comfort they bring in terms of their experience.
