The team at Covalent has exceeded my expectations in every way. From candid, creative, thoughtful brainstorming through execution and delivery of the highest quality product. Every step of the way was exceptional. If given the opportunity, I will jump at the chance to have Covalent tell our story through their extraordinary production. Just a side note...the first project we did together, a hurricane prohibited the ability for anyone from our organization to be at the shoot. All responsibility, all decisions, and the entire project fell firmly in the lap of Covalent. As a Marketing Director (and a self-admitted control freak) this was terrifying. The result was consistent communication from the team, frequent updates, ongoing dialogue about what was happening on site and the result was an award winning production that I'm incredibly proud of. II can not recommend them highly enough. 10/10April 14, 2023

Overall Experience: Literacy Pittsburgh engaged Covalent in February 2020 for an impact video along with two shorter pieces. We chose them because they could provide us with full-service support and their past work demonstrated the energy and vibrancy we hoped to communicate for our brand. We had just collaborated on a vision for the project and were excited to begin when COVID shut down our state. Nick and Jeff helped us to craft a path forward with professionalism, flexibility, and a careful eye toward safety. I was extremely grateful to have them with us on this journey through uncharted territory. Communication was top-notch even though, by necessity, the project took longer than any of us expected. The final videos expertly condense our complex mission to its essence, and elicit happiness, tears, and pride--eveything we could hope for! It was a pleasure to work with Covalent on this project.

Overall Experience: Covalent's team is all very in sync with one another. You can tell that collaboration, communication, creativity and respect run deep within the company culture. Throughout the production process you can talk to different people at different times, and they will all be aware of what someone else is doing and when they are doing it in regards to the project. That comes from project management where people listen and care. And that's what you get when you work with Covalent—a team you feel really cares about you, your client and and the product they are delivering.

Overall Experience: The Covalent crew is top-notch. No matter the budget, they consistently overdeliver with the highest degree of polish. When it comes to the creative, they are a true partner who offers valuable input that factors into the end product. More importantly, they are nimble and can pivot when issues arise that weren't in the original plans. I call them my not-so-secret secret weapon. Video, motion graphics, animation, you name it and they can do it. Love these folks.

Overall Experience: I can't possibly say enough good things about the team at Covalent. Their ambition, drive and dedication to the work is astounding. When we approached them to bid and develop an approach to the New Branding for Dollar Bank that myself and the team at Calaveras had created... they hit the ground running. They not only came back with the most reasonable pricing, they also did an insane amount of planning and pushed through logistical nightmare of creating 5 TV spots that were spread across so many locations and utilized a ton REAL PEOPLE and REAL businesses in the region. The approach, tact, and collaboration of the team was beyond anything I have had the pleasure of working on in my years in the industry. A small group that packs a punch the big guys can only dream of.

Overall Experience: We hired Covalent to create a series of videos to increase our social media engagement through the use of relatable content with a focus of gym humor being the value delivered to our followers. One of the videos has 2,050% more views than our average video posts and is our most viewed video in the 7 years of our company's history. The team members have a diverse background of expertise making the whole process comfortable, because there's a level of confidence and trust. Highly responsive, well priced services. Overall, pleasure working with Covalent. Tell 'em Dave from Chef Robert Irvine's FITCRUNCH sent you.

Overall Experience: - It was a pleasure working with the Covalent team! They were easy to work with and always available for impromptu brainstorming sessions, and they handled all of our revisions/edits even in the tightest of deadlines. They took the time to be knowledgeable about our organization and offer “out of the box” ideas, and produced a creative and innovative video that really showcases what our organization and members do on a daily basis. They’re a great partner if you’re looking for someone to take a fresh take on corporate videos!
