Testimonials




Matthew Gerrard - Reddit, London UK 2024
Head of International Creative Strategy

Bringing complex ideas to life is no easy task, but from my experience, it is one that Sam is exceptionally good at. The challenge we had was not a particularly easy one, elevating a b2b software product into a comic-inspired visual feast that made tech decision makers stop in their tracks. Sam's willingness to collaborate, openness to ideas, and overall decisiveness helped drive the project forward and resulted in our client achieving outstanding results. I would highly recommend Sam as an Animation Director and hope to work with him again soon.




Denise Tilly - WWF, Vietnam 2020
Communications Manager

Together with UglyDuck TV, our team at WWF-Vietnam was able to create one of the most visually compelling Annual Report design packages the network had seen. Sam and his team at Ugly Duck were extremely creative and solutions oriented given the multi language complexities of the project and exceptionally responsive throughout time zone differences an distances, accommodating last minute changes right up until the close of project. I would recommend collaborative work with this creative team to any professionals looking for unique and creative ways to develop and showcase content. Thanks to Sam and his team for the wonderful work done on this project with WWF.




Damion Barron Tan - Carbon Agency, HK 2023
