Live Animations Reviews & Testimonials
Konstantin Melnikov CEO at Ntiloyalty
4.8★
VR/AR Review from Konstantin Melnikov
The goal of the KAZKA loyalty program is to teach children about environmental responsibility and household waste sorting through the game. Live Animations was responsible for making the entire digital part more engaging and useful to attract as many [children and their families] as possible to this project. The company created the first VR-based loyalty program in Ukraine. Live Animations created the VR game-based app and the KAZKA AR book. (Verified via email)

Jakk Beckett's Review Sourced from Google
We hired Greg and team to produce, animate and edit a 60 second commercial with animation and live action. Greg and team made themselves available to our agency and our clients EVERY DAY during the process and Gasket delivered the spot in less than three weeks. Our clients are delighted with Gasket's work and so are we. Thanks Greg, Dan and Justin!

steve drizos's Review Sourced from Google
I had the pleasure of meeting with Jeff Swartz recently, and I couldn't be more impressed with Ethic’s level of professionalism and dedication to their clients. From the moment I reached out to them, I knew I was in good hands.What sets Ethic Advertising apart is their genuine willingness to listen and understand the unique needs of your business. They don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions; instead, they take the time to customize their marketing strategies to perfectly fit your goals and objectives.I highly recommend Ethic Advertising for your marketing needs. Their stellar reputation is well-deserved, and I look forward to our partnership in the future.

Greg Leach's Review Sourced from Google
We talked to numerous marketing firms across the US and most were either inept or wouldn’t talk to us because we’re a startup.When I initially contacted Ethic, I was so used to having a bad experience with other marketing firms, I bluntly said “we’re a startup that needs a lot of help with brand recognition, but we’re on a very limited budget. Can you help?”. The owner Jeff said “let’s talk”. We spent the next hour discussing our business operation and different marketing strategies. We then had a follow up call in which Jeff came prepared with a full presentation and spent the afternoon explaining each line item step by step of how to execute our short term marketing goals. He did all this on his own time for nothing in return. We do not have an agreement in place and there's no guarantee of future business when working with a startup.I can't thank Jeff and the Ethic team enough. They will be our “go to” for all our future marketing needs but it's not because of the free time they gave us, but rather their level of expertise. Our company launched service in January 2023 and currently has 400 app downloads. I will give a follow up review in one year to showcase the value of this experience. If you’re looking for a high level marketing company contact Ethic.

Candice Puzak's Review Sourced from Google
We've been working with Ethic for about a year and a half, using various forms of online advertising and strategy. They have been great partners - always quick to respond, thorough in their approach and knowledgeable in the ever changing digital ad space. Their ability to scale their services to fit our needs and budget has been extremely beneficial as well. We highly recommend Ethic to anyone looking for a quality digital partner.
