we’ve worked with... Alex and Sebastiaan were a pleasure to work with. Not only did they provide well-written, engaging and high quality content, but they were efficient and a breeze to communicate with (no mean feat considering they are constantly in transit!). We’re delighted with the partnership and wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again in the future.

Alex and Sebastiaan instantly understood our company’s mission and managed to describe it in ways that we ourselves could barely do! Definitely the embodiment of a young, passionate power duo, and just the kind of people we want sharing our work!
