What our clients say
Engaging with gemaker from concept to delivery of the Astralis website was seamless, with their professional team providing expert advice and recommendations. We are proud of our new-look website, which more than met our expectations.
I recommend gemaker as a cooperative, collaborative and enthusiastic team who are leaders in their space.
Collaborating with gemaker was a true partnership: their team felt like an extension of ours, enabling high performance under pressure. They developed our grant application with exceptional skill, commitment and care – as if it were their own funding bid.
We have to be agile, so gemaker’s swift support as a one-stop-shop for strategic advice, business planning, graphic design, writing, etc, has been key to our success. They’ve saved us heartache by providing sound advice based on extensive experience. The responsive gemaker team speaks our language and their can-do culture is a great fit for InSpace.
gemaker are truly client focussed. They are keen to provide us with what we need rather than force us to accept what they’ve done before.
The gemaker team rose to the challenge of analysing the complex market for our products. I appreciated their hands-on, proactive and adaptive approach. They are skilled interviewers and delivered an insightful report with a clear path for the next steps in our commercialisation.
gemaker were generous in sharing their wealth of commercialisation knowledge in the context of the university environment as well as from the perspective of industry. Their depth of experience meant that they could provide flexible and practical solutions with real-world examples.
I engaged gemaker as an external service provider to develop a Research Engagement Plan. gemaker were thorough, flexible and responsive and able to adapt to deliver the outcome that was right for us as the client. I was impressed by the approach and style of the team and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
