[Testimonials]
“From darkness to light, that’s what it was like working with Peridot. I am just starting a new business and didn’t know what social networking was all about–and it scared me. Jennifer took me by the hand, and it was as though a light came on. She sat next to me, and step by step she showed me a new world. I highly recommend the services of Peridot. If you need somebody to simply show you the way, and not make you feel like you are an idiot…and in fact, make you want to know everything more….then look no more, you found the right place.”

“Thanks to the Peridot Productions team, we have a beautiful database-driven Website (KobreGuide.com) that enables us to showcase the Web’s best video and multimedia journalism. This was a tricky project from the start, with a plethora of stringent requirements and built-in challenges.
Jennifer Baum and programmer Keith Freedman patiently worked with us from conception through launch. When we labored late into the night to meet deadlines, they worked even later. We’d exchange phone calls and emails into the wee hours — such was their dedication and commitment to our satisfaction, and to the ultimate success of our project.
Jenn and Keith took extra time and care to walk us through many of the abstract technical aspects of our site, and its customized FreeForm content management system. They made wise suggestions along the way, proposing efficient options and cost-saving alternatives. Peridot worked hand-in-hand with us to perfect all the intricate details that naturally accompany a project of this complexity and scope.
We’re happy to report that we’ve received overwhelmingly enthusiastic responses to our site, and are pleased with the way it looks and functions. At last, there is a professionally curated Web portal to the most magnificently produced online multimedia journalism: KobreGuide.com . Kudos to Peridot for being an integral part of our team, and for helping to make our Web dream a reality!”

“Achieving the results we desired was easier than I imagined possible. The team at Peridot was responsive, listened to our suggestions, and displayed a unique ability to understand our audience. Peridot delivered a product that was better than we initially expected.”
Stephan P Vermut, Managing Partner, Merlin Securities
“Merlin Securities is a three year old boutique financial services firm serving the hedge fund industry. In servicing our market segment, we compete with some of the biggest names in finance and banking. Our goal in engaging Peridot was to increase our profile in the industry and with potential clients.
Driving the need for Peridot was the fact that we had recently learned that Merlin Securities was to receive a number of awards in a survey of hedge fund managers by Global Custodian magazine, a prestigious industry publication. This annual survey is a big deal for our industry and we wanted to make sure to capitalize on the announcement which was just weeks away. In order to accomplish this, we engaged Peridot Productions to plan and execute a multi-platform marketing campaign aimed at announcing to the world that we’d been named “The Best” in a poll of the hedge fund community against the dominant players in the market.
On very short notice, Peridot assembled a team of media professionals and was pitching a plan to us within days. Peridot produced a comprehensive campaign which included national print advertising, direct (electronic and paper) mail, publicity (a bylined article) and Flash website enhancements.
I’d recommend Peridot to any organization that needs strong and flexible marketing help. For us they did the job on a short timetable with real professionalism, a great design concept and on a reasonable budget. The results were way beyond expectations.”
Aaron Vermut, COO, Merlin Securities
