John and Peter produced beautiful, professional videos to advertise some highlight products on one of our auctions. From the moment they arrived at our showrooms they put us at ease, as their obvious knowledge and experience meant that we could follow their lead and watch them do their thing. It was also clear that John had done in-depth research into our company to ensure that while the videos were exciting and interesting for viewers, the style was also kept within our brand. Working with John and Peter was a pleasure from start to finish, and we are really hoping to work with them again soon!
