What our clients say

The brand was fairly new to NYFW at the time and the work that Joseph and his team put into the presentation showed a level of talent, professionalism and dedication that would ensure their future success in the industry. I was impressed with Joseph’s work overall. I would recommend working with Joseph. He is professional, easy to communicate with and very attentive to detail. His passion, creativity and fresh perspective make his work stand out and would be an asset to any client.

Working with Joseph and RWS exceeded my expectations. They ensured the after party for our first performance post-pandemic went off without a hitch. They provided a 360 event plan that left our guests wanting more. We have now worked on several events over the course of two years and RWS is my first call whenever I'm ready to bring a concept to life. Everybody needs a Joseph on their team.

RWS was incredibly professional, organized and timely. I was pushed out of my comfort zone in the most beautiful of ways. As a real estate professional, creativity is what sells homes. RWS helped me create a content strategy that produced buzz. The creativity and attention to detail alone are worth it, but the added care and concern for my brand is beyond incredible.

RWS helped me understand the “why” behind my personal branding and marketing efforts. Since working with the company I’ve successfully submitted reels and have been in several independent films. The process was perfectly paced, educational and freeing. 10 out of 10.

Without hesitation, I would recommend RWS to my network. The exceptional qualities of their team, including diligence, attention to detail, and vast knowledge, make them a standout choice for professional services. Their thorough process and commitment to delivering high-quality work position them as a reliable and valuable partner, and I believe others in my network would benefit from engaging with RWS for their expertise and dedication to excellence.
