An exceptional customer experience

As a core part of the BlueSky vision, we hope that every interaction with us is an exceptional one.

To find out if we were fulfilling our vision, we spoke to 3 customers – and recorded the conversation.

This is what they had to say about the experience of working with us

5/5
BlueSky has a unique background that helped them to understand exactly what we wanted and capture everything we needed for our marketing efforts without a lot of oversight - something we have yet to experience with any other film / video team. They were extremely communicative and made the whole experience easy. Their final video had all the right messaging and told the story exactly the way we would have if we have made the video ourselves. I would definitely recommend the BlueSky team.

SOME OF OUR VIDEO PROJECTS

Maybe you should hire SDG?

Taking inspiration from one of the most iconic 1980’s television programmes, we made this video for SDG Construction Technology to showcase their role as problem solvers for their customers.

Complex construction projects are full of surprises – so SDG customers need to know that they”ll get advice they can trus from a company that can respond quickly and deliver products to site at short notice.

So if you have a problem, if no-one else can help and if you can find them – maybe you should hire SDG.

I love it when a plan comes together !!
