Groove Jones Reviews & Testimonials
Sam Rogers Project Manager at National 4-H Council

VR/AR Review from Sam Rogers
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.

VR/AR Review from Amy Chao, CMP
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)

VR/AR Review from Alan Fletcher
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)

VR/AR Review from Eric J Nesser
Next/Now helped realize our ambituous mixed reality vision for educating automotive consumers about safety features, driving assistance, and parking assistance with holographic imagery that can be deployed in real world space. We were able to engage consumers on the field without any special equipment besides modern phones and tablets. I would definitely recommend Next/Now to other agencies, as they bulldozed project obstacles, put a lot of love into details, and made our CG really stand out.

Kristen Youngman's Review Sourced from Google
Next/Now is Chicago's hidden gem. I couldn't believe my good fortune when I found them. Well versed in creating just about every interactive experience you can think of, they bring to life virtual reality, augmented reality, gesture control, projection mapping and interactive videos walls to life. In a world that constantly seeks to avoid advertising and many branded messages, Next/Now consistently produces brand experiences that people actually flock to. This is what drew me to them after 10 years of traditional advertising. Their nimble, strategic teams produce quality content and share-worthy moments. If you'd like to stop living in the 80s and move into the future of brand and content creation, call on Next/Now.

3D Animation Review from Andrew Bielous
We recently worked with DreamInk Studio on a series of 3D visualizations for our electronic manufacturing services, as well as some 3D animations for our ad campaign, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Their work was outstanding, combining technical accuracy with creativity that really brought our projects to life.The visualizations not only looked fantastic but also helped us effectively communicate our services to clients. The animations for our ad campaign, in particular, were impressive catching the eye of our target audience and delivering our message with impact.For the quality of the work provided, we found the cost to be more than reasonable. The team was professional, easy to work with, and delivered everything on time. We highly recommend DreamInk Studio for anyone in need of high-quality 3D work that delivers great value.

Games Review from Shaun Edwards
I began working with Vlad in 2022 when we needed 3D characters made for our web3 gaming project. Vlad meticulously developed all the technical aspects of the task, ensuring the character's integration into our future game. He not only developed a series of characters unique to my concept but also effectively managed the distribution of tasks among team members, including creating new textures and skins.The game development process started with the discussion of level design, after which Vlad and his team created the first demo version of our game. Vlad demonstrated exceptional organizational skills, hiring additional specialists such as programmers and consultants to further enhance the project.The initiative to create a second version of the game came from me, and Vlad actively supported this proposal. He attentively considered my wishes, coordinated the team's efforts, and prepared additional technical tasks for new challenges. Vlad also successfully adapted the characters for use in Unreal Engine and coordinated the development of game mechanics and NPC physics, including the creation of new game levels.Currently, Vlad is actively involved in refining the game, upgrading our characters. His professionalism, teamwork skills, and results-oriented approach make him an exceptional project manager and we will continue to work with him as long as we can! Vlad is a huge asset to any business in this industry and if he does not know how to do something, he will learn it, or bring one of his many contacts into the project! We are yet to find a problem that Vlad could not fix!

The team at Guy Bauer Productions was the best we could dream of! The filming crew was prompt and made great use of their time while in house getting the footage they need for our corporate film. Editing was very smooth and the staff was very helpful in meeting our requirements and achieving what we were looking to accomplish, all within our deadline. I was impressed with this agency from the moment our quote and proposal was sent over. Very professional, friendly, and high quality work.My colleagues and I received endless compliments on the final product and our audience was very impressed with the level of work that was achieved. Producing our corporate film with Guy Bauer has added a tremendous asset to our portfolio and we look forward to continuing to work with them in the future. Highly recommended!
