What Clients Say About SilverstoneCIS

Alex Bunch: Creative Director. Slingshot LLC. Texas, USA -

"Creative integrity is of the utmost importance to me and an unwavering requirement in order to do business with Slingshot.

Many vendors have come and gone throughout the years due to the inability to meet deadlines, staying within budget and of course deliver on creative expectations. Silverstone is without a doubt the exception.

They have exceeded expectations in all regards for every project they've taken on. They have not only brought our concepts to life, they've given them unique personalities. Silverstone is a true creative partner that I plan to work with as long as I am working in this field."

Chet Ingles: Account Director (Brown Forman Corporation). Slingshot LLC. Texas, USA

"Silverstone Solutions and Slingshot entered into a partnership a few years ago. Slingshot was in need of the best and brightest interactive Flash experts for a highly specialized project for Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whisky. After researching multiple vendors for the assignment - Silverstone presented not only the best credentials and passion for the work - but they also presented the most effective strategy for bringing the project in on time, on budget and far beyond expectations.

As a result, we are compelled to continue working with Silverstone on behalf of the multiple clients that we represent who are in need of their specialized expertise. Despite the distance between our firms, make no mistake that when working with Silverstone the Time Zones are never an issue (we're not sure they sleep??).

Additionally, their strategic insight and prowess is evidenced in every communication and execution. Slingshot and Silverstone has truly reached a point of achieving a seamless relationship between our firms - they are viewed as a partner, as part of our team, due to the strong conviction and dedication to excellence and results that drive the success of our Clients' business."

Robyn Burger: Production Director. Red Cherry Television. Johannesburg, SA

"We've been dealing with SilverstoneCIS for a very long time now and they've been utterly fantastic to date. Their work ethic and positivity is tremendous. Being in the TV industry, our deadlines are crucial and sometimes very fine. Silverstone has met our timings every time without ever being negative about meeting them.

They've gone beyond the call of duty, be it in quality, client service and, dare I say it, BUDGET! It's been an absolute pleasure!! Thank you!"

Hugh Farrell: Director. Red Cherry Television. Johannesburg, SA

"Red Cherry TV has been working with SilverstoneCIS for over 3 years. Their levels of professionalism have been exemplary and we have had nothing but Good quality work from the SilverstoneCIS team.

They are full of original ideas and have often attended client pitches with us. Their knowledge of the Kids / 'Tweens' / 'Teens' and 'Scream-Ager' markets are excellent and they have up to date techniques of integrating ATL and BTL campaigns onto websites. Good luck going forward!"
