Client Testimonials

France

France 24, Paris

I’ve been a journalist for the BBC, ITV and now France 24 in Paris. Over my 11 years of experience, I always refer to Alan Rook as the best manager I’ve ever had and think back to him as a reference to what is good leadership. He always had a clear vision and was decisive and fair. He was also very approachable and respected.

BlackRook and AMBA provided a great opportunity — and a great experience. We were eager to talk about the work we do, following our mission in contributing to competitive, digital, and sustainable transformation in business and economy.

With BlackRook’s highly professional guidance, we framed our story around the core theme of JSBE being a change maker — and educating change makers — and creating impact on business and society.

The crew bravely survived the cold when working a full day in the middle of the Finnish winter, and as a result we received exactly what we hoped for: an absolutely high-quality, professional film highlighting the work we do for societal impact at JSBE.

It was a pleasure to work with the BlackRook team. Their professionalism, creativity, and dedication were clear in every moment, and it made all the difference.

The team handled everything with such focus and positive energy. It was inspiring to work alongside a team that takes so much pride in getting things right while keeping the atmosphere positive. We couldn’t have asked for a better crew, and I’m very grateful for the effort and care they brought to the project.

We are delighted with the outputs from featuring in this project.

My manager, Morten Ambye-Jensen, and I had the great pleasure of working with BlackRook Media on the planning and production of the film about CBIO. We experienced a high level of professionalism and a final product of excellent quality.

BlackRook Media demonstrated great flexibility and were very receptive to our suggestions. In addition, it was a genuine pleasure to spend an entire day of filming with them. We would be delighted to work with them again and can therefore give them our warmest recommendations.

Working with BlackRook was a great experience. The team are incredibly personable and communicated clearly throughout the process. I was impressed at how they were able to help us translate complex topics into easily digestible and accessible content. The videos were high quality and they were able to quickly turn around any edits requested.
