What's In a Name?
Review Summary
What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
After we initially decided to go with Catchword they had the ability to get the best out of us and then run with it. The result was just what we needed. Our team felt Catchword coupled a "get it done" attitude with a "this can also be a fun process" vibe.
What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?
Nothing comes to mind. We were happy with all aspects.
