From the very beginning, the AdVids team was great to work with. Our project manager was very pleasant and very organized. They use a project scheduling system that keeps things moving quickly and is very efficient. And in every step in the step of the process, they exceeded our expectations - from the quality of the voiceover artists we could choose from, to the ideas they generated for the storyboard, to the way they carried out the video draft. And the finish product was fantastic - really exceeded our expectations, and was just the kind of style we explained to them. Very happy and will definitely create more videos with them.
