Companies we’ve worked with…

…and what they say about us

“Designing and developing a fantasy game is as ambitious as projects come. Working with Illusion Factory and Strat-o-matic to redesign our suite of Fantasy games exceeded our expectations while under the tightest of deadlines. From working with Brian Weiner, Illusion’s CEO to their project managers, programmers and designers, I was met with professionalism and integrity every step of the way. Sports Illustrated Kids is looking forward to many more years of collaborating with this brilliant shop.”

“I love working with The Illusion Factory because Brian and his team seem to have never heard of such things as tight deadlines, overwhelming volume or too many revisions. Each campaign is easier than the next!”

“We have worked with Brian and The Illusion Factory on many projects over the years and they have always done an outstanding job. Whether it’s developing and creating something that has never been done before, or just jumping in and lending a hand when we are busy with tons of projects, they have always been an incredible fi rm with a great attitude.”

“The Illusion Factory develops online advertising that wins creative awards, drives record breaking user interactions, is innovative and, the best part; it’s a fun and inspiring group to work with.”

“The Illusion Factory always impresses me. Every time I bring them a project, they don’t just do a great job... they BLOW MY MIND!”
