Orit Mutznik
Head of SEO, SilkFred
I've been working with Ben and the Absolute Digital Media team for years now, as I took them along with me to every role and company I went to throughout the time we've known each other. Ben is a truly agile professional, and I think that Absolute's expertise is to truly tailor their services to the needs of each customer. A lot of agencies take pride in that exact trait without the ability to deliver, not Absolute. If you're from the brand side, and you are a bit hesitant about working with a marketing agencies to support your efforts, I'd definitely recommend giving Ben a call - his top priority won't be to tie you up in a long term contract with no escape, but to really do what works best for you, your budget and needs - which is so rare in this industry. Needless to say, I highly recommend working with Ben and his team.

It has been a pleasure working with Ben, and he always goes the extra mile to exceed all client’s expectations."
