client testimonials
“GiantAnt Media has been a fantastic resource for us here at Steelcase. We engaged GiantAnt with a relatively small budget and insanely tight deadlines. GiantAnt not only accepted the project, they really delivered exceptional results. Throughout the process, the firm added creative value and expertise that really took our project to the next level. While this year is the first year we've hired Jay, we've had the pleasure of knowing him and working closely with him many times in the past. He is bright, highly creative, a pleasure to work with and incredibly hard working. I look forward to working Giant Ant Media again soon.”
Brad Doan Manager of Brand Communications and Advertising, Steelcase.
“I highly recommend Jay Grandin and Leah Nelson at Giant Ant Media. I wanted to create fun and professional video for the legal market and was impressed with the work they have done for other companies, as well as their own humorous and thoughtful videos. They brought a lot to the table, including tremendous creativity, a passion for excellence, strong project management, an eye for talent, flexibility, solid technical skills and a sharp attention to the needs of the customer. I was thrilled with the final product, which they brought in on-time and under budget. Finally, they made the entire project an enjoyable experience. I look forward to working with them again soon.”
Tom Hagy Publisher, BVR Legal
"What makes Jay and Leah great to work with is a combination of their high creativity, commitment to follow-through (irrespective of the challenge) and easy-going attitude. We produced 4 videos this past month, all with comparable budgets and timeline. The piece Giant Ant put together for us was a cut above the rest. We'd work with them again in NY minute."
