Had an exceptional experience working together with The Marketing Cafe to develop a brand video featuring our range of products and the promotional campaign that we were developing for Glen's Vodka. Ian's team was extraordinarily professional, creative, worked to a very tight timeline and pulled together a very impressive video that we are very pleased to have as part of our portfolio. I would not hesitate to recommend Ian and The Marketing Cafe to anyone.

We were looking to create a video that would help personalise our local business. When we asked around then Ian's name was the one that was recommended to us most often. We had been looking on Fiverr, PeoplePerHour and the like and although cheap they were all using templates etc. We didn't want this and we didn't have the time or the experience to do it ourselves.
Ian offered to create a bespoke video and we knew the price would be a factor. I will be honest when I first opened the quote I caught my breath as it was a bit more than I expected.
However, Ian explained what he was going to do
