Quotes from our clients
Lynne Russell, Communications Manager at Queen Margaret University
Naka is a progressive young filmmaking duo distinctive for their quick-fire short video footage and their contemporary styling. Anton and Thomas are easy to work with – polite, good-humoured, straight-talking, responsive and eager to please. They have outstanding technical knowledge which has been incredibly helpful in supporting us in the delivery of a wide variety of promotional, celebratory and advertising projects. As well as producing new film work, they have been quick to adapt our existing films to ensure suitability/compatibility for a variety of mediums – YouTube, Facebook, Instagram etc. This has helped us achieve value for money. Thomas and Anton have complementary skills and are good at taking direction and working to a brief. But, we have built up trust in Naka, and have been known, on certain projects, to give them free rein to use their initiative and run with projects with minimum supervision. Every time they have produced successful outcomes for Queen Margaret University and we would highly recommend this dynamic young company to others who are looking to develop contemporary, eye-catching video content.
Gavin McNee, Communications Officer at Maryhill Housing
We’ve worked closely with Thomas and Anton on several different projects, and they always deliver a high-quality product, which they can turn around quickly and within budget. They create content that’s fresh and engaging while still closely following the University’s brand guidelines. Over the last year, Naka Media have made films for a range of advertising campaigns in 2021. They turn their hand to any job we’ve sent their way, are easy to work with and professional, bring a lot of their own ideas to the table and are up to speed with the latest social media trends, helping ensure our content lands on a variety of platforms. They are specific in their communication and always have a clear idea of how the finished product will look, which helps instil confidence in the client. In just over a year, Naka has become one of our team’s most trusted suppliers for creating video content, and we look forward to working with them on future projects.
Julia and Marty Zeller-Jacques, shop owners at Rock & Bird
Naka worked closely with us in order to create bespoke videos for our store - a small art supply shop in North Berwick. They built upon our established brand, incorporating the way we were already using artist's dummies in our social media posts into original stop-motion animated shorts. They also developed shorter clips and images from their videos to provide us with an easily sharable, Instagram-friendly version of the longer videos. They were especially responsive throughout the difficulties of successive covid lockdowns and worked creatively within and around the restrictions. We've been delighted with both the process of working with Naka Media and the videos they've produced for us.
