Web Design Review from Kevin Carr
Digital Media Design is my first choice for website design. Our company provided the necessary content and then DMD took it from there in designing a site that enhances the users experience with creative graphics and navigation. Most recently, DMD produced a product demonstration video for the site and improved its SEO using the latest AI tools. In my career experience, searching for the right contractor to do site design, maintenance, and continued enhancement can be a daunting task. For top quality service at a good value, look no further than Digital Media Design.

Will and Sam created a video that conveyed the most intriguing parts of my craft in a way that was truly inspiring. They captured the small moments and details of what I do and flawlessly edited the footage into an intimate peek inside my studio and working life in a creative way. The video has been invaluable in showing my customers what happens behind the scenes, lifting the veil and letting my clients see how I work and what goes into creating my jewelry pieces. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Great to work with the Broadcast2World team. I found them online and after comparing them with a number of other companies it appeared that they were much more organized and thorough. Yes, they would be more expensive but the finished product would be much better. I was not disappointed. They developed a plan from the beginning. We had a schedule of dates of when certain events would occur. They were very creative in the art concept and story line. Making adjustments was easy to do. If you want a professional experience with a great product, then yes you will have to pay more. But, it is worth it. Anyone can produce a web video. But, if you want a well drafted and good looking video, the team at Broadcast2World is where you want to look. I have no hesitation to recommend them.

We really liked working with Broadcast2World. They created a high quality motion graphics video for our career tool. They did it in record time and were very understanding of all the comments and feedback we provided through all the rounds of editing.
They are based in India but the time difference was not an obstacle, instead it was a great opportunity for us to review their latest work during the day and at night time they would work on all our latest comments. Next day there would be a fresh version of the video. And they always made themselves available for any detailed comments that we need to cover on the phone or through webinar.
We will forward to working with them on our next video project.

Design Services Review from Monita K. Bell
The fields for this review were a bit limiting, as Square Lightning partnered with us for both design and editorial services, including writing and copy editing, as well as sourcing photographers across the country. As a small team within a nonprofit, we simply don't have the capacity to pull off a magazine project on our own. Thanks to the photography and editorial help (the writing and editing of half the stories) and complete design services Square Lightning provided, we have a beautiful, impressive product that well represents not only our organization but, more importantly, the families we serve. Their partnership has been invaluable!

Mary Jo Parrish's Review Sourced from Google
Anchor Films brought passion and expertise that we didn't even know existed in film. We were a brand new company and we had so many questions. We were walked through the process of development, recording, lighting, sound, makeup artists, post recording storage, how to facilitate the sending of videos to our locations, and a thousand questions in between. Even months later, when we were struggling with a technical issue (that was not even about the videos), one of their team walked us through the process of fixing it. Anchor Films has the wisdom of decades of experience mixed with technical genius, AND the passion of true art of film. Matt Ayers and his team listen and truly hear the depth and breadth of the mission of the organization and embrace the target audience. Then, they are “all-in” with every drop of creative energy, passion, and excitement. We are looking forward to our next adventure with Anchor Films in the future.

My company has hired Anchor Films on two separate occasions; one for an in-house commercial recording, and another for some in-depth photography needs. On the first occasion, Matt was exemplary in making sure all of our boxes were checked off. He and his team delivered a top-notch commercial, that we were able to deliver to 13 different program around the United States. His attention to detail was amazing, and his approach to the recording of our commercial was extremely well-thought out and professional. Because of this experience, we reached out about taking some photographs for a highly technical exam, working with various components of a semi-trucks. His professionalism, once again, proved on point. He delivered above and beyond our expectations. We are constantly looking for reasons to hire Anchor Films again, and I'm sure we will have that reason moving forward.
