What Our Clients Say About Our Brand Team

I needed to redesign my website, and once again, I made the right decision by choosing Big Red Jelly. This time, I had the great fortune of being assisted by Stephen Sobisky, and I cant thank him enough.From the very first moment, Stephen took full ownership of my project. He analyzed it thoroughly and presented an outstanding plan.

Willy BendeckOwner, Polo Gourmet Hot Sauce

We've contracted Big Red Jelly to develop our brand and website. BRJ's team was professional and punctual, hitting all the milestones according to the agreed timeline.Communicating with the team was simple and fast and no question was left unanswered. The overall process for both the design and build phases was smooth and included weekly meetings which allowed for adjustments to be made so that the final product would meet our expectations.

Peter BlondCEO, Elixyr

Rebranding can be a scary process full of uncertainty, but Bethany and her team from BRJ made this process a breeze! She helped our team through our entire rebrand and was very professional and adapted quickly to our needs. It's not typical to have an entire company involved in the rebranding decision, but for our team, we wanted everyone to have their voice heard. We compiled name ideas from everyone and presented them to BRJ and they took our ideas and created something that fit us perfectly based on the ideas and needs we provided them.

Jessica JaureguiMarketing Professional, Resolut Engineering

Andrew and Chandler at BRJ helped to build an awesome landing page for our book launch! Have used Josh's team to build 2 or 3 websites now and they are all modern and high quality. Recommend!

Brendan BarcaCEO, The Dailey Buddhist

Ashton, Bethany, Josh, Zach, and Joshua all absolutely killed it on our project! They helped us navigate a merger, rebrand, and build. This review is because they were awesome but please general public, don't use them. Selfishly I need them to not pick up other clients so they never get too busy!

David HarkerMarketing Director, Resolut Engineering

We've had an amazing experience working with Big Red Jelly! They are super responsive, and always complete requests in a timely and efficient manner. We appreciate their professionalism and would highly recommend them to anyone!

Logan McAllisterBusiness Owner, Keystone Construction

Laura P. and the entire Big Red Jelly team were a pleasure to work with! They had lightning fast response times, and made some increadible final products for Office Evolution in Burlington, MA. Thank you so much, Big Red Jelly! 🙂

Office EvolutionFranchisee and Business Owner

Chandler has the best energy, listened to our requests and brought our company to life through our website. He has a great editorial eye and is quick and efficient. I'd definitely work with him again. Thanks Chandler!
