Fresh Coast Collective is by far the best agency I've worked with throughout my 17-year career in marketing. Each member of their team is genuine, smart, super talented, and the final products they produce are the best in the business. I've had the pleasure of working with Chelsea, Eric, John and Nick on several video projects, and they helped us get our Insta account rolling. FCC's demeanor and approach to their work is so extremely helpful while also being very professional. I know they'll take care of business no matter what the project is which is why we keep hiring them. And we will continue to work with the Fresh Coast team as much as our budget allows in future. :)August 11, 2023

Overall Experience: When I took ownership of my family's coffee roasting business, Alakef Coffee Roasters in 2014, I set out on a mission to not only honor and elevate the brand my parents had spent 25 years building, but also create a new brand that would help to differentiate our company and reflect the new generation of leadership we were entering. When I launched the City Girl Coffee brand in 2015, I knew I would need a team of talented and trusted people to help me bring my vision to life. Enter the Fresh Coast Collective. Not only did they understand my vision and concept from the beginning, they were truly responsible for bringing it to life. Their work is STUNNING, but more than that, they were true partners... working side-by-side with me to not only get the City Girl brand off the ground, but make it what it is today. I cannot say enough great things about this company and the work that they do. CALL THEM TODAY! You will not regret working with this company!

Overall Experience: We hired Fresh Coast to create a series of videos as part of a major organizational change management effort. The videos were a smashing success, but more importantly, Fresh Coast became active participants of driving the change initiative - simply by how they interacted with our team members, their commitment to understanding our culture and the environment they created during every single shoot. There is no question that FCC is the best at what they do, but they knock it out of the park in terms of HOW they do their work, as well. We are grateful for their thought partnership, creativity, technical expertise and unwavering commitment to client experience.

Overall Experience: These guys are a joy to work with. They’re approachable, fun-loving, reliable, expert story tellers and they produce high quality work. They took the time to understand our business and it’s unique needs and illuminated it in a way we couldn’t have. I’d highly recommend them to any one looking for better photography, video, social media marketing, graphic, web design, or just some laughs.

Overall Experience: I started with a simple brainstorming session with the FCC crew and it led me down a road that has transformed our company. We shot at 3 locations with a very inspired story board of the lifestyle we were capturing in our homes. I felt like I was an extra on the set of a James Cameron film, drones were flying, kids were running and everybody loved the process! However, as enjoyable as the process was, the end result was AMAZING!! We now have video's that tell a story that helps us sell our lifestyle transformation in building our clients their homes. FCC help set us so far apart from our competition that people across all industries ask us about how we did it and who they can use. My answer is always the same: Fresh Coast Collective!!!!

Overall Experience: We recently worked with them to shoot a new technology video and they could not have been better to work with. They flexed into looking at our existing footage and then complimented it with such approachable lifestyle visuals that blew everyone away. We also ended up having to shoot an a frigid day with a couple of last minute snafus and they troubleshooted right alongside us without missing a beat. Finally, even when our team threw animation challenges at them, they rose to the occasion and delivered one of the best videos my company has seen. Cannot recommend them enough. You should work with FreshCoast.

Overall Experience: I've worked with the Fresh Coast crew on a number of projects over the years and the experience has always been great. They are marvelous storytellers, with a knack on uncovering authentic narratives that meet the goals of what we're trying to accomplish. The crew is professional and extremely talented. It's rare to end shoots early yet somehow we tend to wrap with plenty of time left in the day - so cool. I'm excited to continue to make great work with them for years to come!!

Overall Experience: After years of working with other advertising firms that didn’t see our vision, we’re grateful we met the Fresh Coast team! These guys and gals are fun, trendy and true professionals at what they do! We’ve been absolutely thrilled with the results. The FCC team has truly helped us get Outdoor Excapes to the next level. I couldn’t recommend them enough!
