Working with Ben was very good. Communication was excellent.
He had a very good strategy for our project and took the time to understand our work. That was really, really great. First, he wanted to get to know us and understand what our company is about.
We also gained a lot of visibility through the videos, and beyond that, more traffic to our website. We are very satisfied with Ben’s work.
Of course, we would be very happy to work with him again.!

Communication with Ben was absolutely excellent and a lot of fun.
What we especially appreciated was his strategic approach: thinking ahead, defining the target audience, and figuring out who we wanted to reach. In the end, he managed to bring real emotion into the concept — both for the AI video and the explainer video. Both versions are fantastic, addressing the audience on two different levels.
We also really appreciated that we didn’t have to worry about anything — whether it was voiceover or visuals, everything was taken care of, which made things much easier for us.
It felt like he could read our minds and turn our ideas into a great final product within a short time.
Here at the trade fair, the video is being very well received. Guests are enthusiastic and can quickly and easily understand our rather complex product — and that really helps us.
Many thanks for that!
We were able to almost quadruple our leads, which was, of course, a really great result that we honestly didn’t expect. So the outcome definitely exceeded my expectations.
At the same time, we received very positive feedback on the video. I’m very satisfied with the collaboration, happy to answer any questions, and can only say: Ben Chimoy is the right choice.
Working with Ben as our Gen AI Director was a great experience. He was not just delivering assets, but actively sparring ideas with us, helping to shape the creative direction from the very start.
Ben fully understands that new technologies like Generative AI require new workflows and different ways of communicating — and he guided us through this process with a perfect balance of structure and flexibility.
We were extremely happy with the collaboration, especially with the unique combination Ben brought: his expertise in filmmaking and storytelling, his eye for crafting high-quality commercial assets, and his strong problem-solving approach. This mix made the entire production both highly creative and very effective.
