Testimonials...

“We are so appreciative of the work undertaken by Ticktockrobot to illustrate our research, as words were simply not enough for this project. The animation is truly fantastic, and we cannot thank Simon and his team enough for all of their hard work, constructive and creative advice, and above all kindness and enthusiasm to go above and beyond. We hope to share the animation very widely to support our disabled and neurodiverse community of workers. ”

“Since the quality of the work is evident to all, I wanted to also mention what a great pleasure it was to work with this company as their client. The process is well managed, with clear deliverables and an online portal to track the project and manage feedback. I always felt that the feedback we gave was embraced, though sometimes challenged (in a good way) - all of which helped the finished project exceed our expectations. We will miss the excitement of Friday afternoons when Ticktockrobot would unveil the latest progress! I cannot recommend Ticktockrobot highly enough. But as a client I would advise you to let go and completely place your trust in them. Allow yourself to be led by their creativity and talent and the results will shine.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed working with ticktockrobot and would not hesitate to involve them in future projects. Simon was extremely responsive and kept us up to date, and on track, throughout the work. The ticktockrobot team had fantastic creative suggestions that really helped to bring our research to life making it accessible and engaging for a wider audience, and the animations themselves were incredibly impressive and professional. Thanks so much Simon and team!”

“We just wanted to say a big thank you Simon and his team at Ticktockrobot for a great job they did on our Animation and various social media and website assets. From start to finish they have done an outstanding job in creating these assets from only a few brief conversations with us and have really grasped the concept from day one. They produced some very creative modern ideas and layouts and we will certainly be using them again should we require anything else in the future. Thanks again from all at Zapfilment! ”

“Ticktockrobot were a pleasure to work with from start to finish, going above and beyond to deliver an excellent product on time and to budget.  We wanted to communicate key insights from the research in a fun and engaging way, illustrating some of the reasons people send problematic emails and how they can act differently.  We’re delighted with the results.”

“We recently worked with ticktockrobot to bring to life a series of engaging animations depicting how body shape ideals have changed throughout history. Their understanding of the brief and our requirements was spot on and the end product was fantastic. They were an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the process and were particularly patient when it came to any amends that needed to be made. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any of our clients and we will definitely work with them again in future.”

“Simon and his team were introduced to us and our expectations were initially pretty high. As the work progressed and the design and animation came together our expectations grew. Simon ‘got it’ in terms of what we wanted, taking the time to thoroughly understand our new business and went beyond what we needed. He didn’t merely follow our brief, he gave it three dimensions and the result speaks for itself: an amazing animation that explains everything in a few minutes. The only word is ...WOW.”

They responded really creatively to our brief and delivered a quirky, fun animation which conveyed the film’s message in a really engaging way. Simon was great to work with (and very accommodating of our last-minute changes!) and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and ticktock. We will definitely work with them again in future.”

“From the outset we were not sure what the end result would look like. However Simon put our minds at ease and guided us through the whole animation process. Simon listened carefully to our brief, took notes and sketched a series of concept characters and storyboards. The final animation is far better than we ever anticipated and tells the story of the planning and building process in a straightforward but contemporary and interesting fashion. The team at G3 Architecture cannot thank Simon and his team enough and we would not have any hesitation in recommended him and Tick Tock Robot! ”
