After burning out and not being able to scale my business without help, I was looking for someone to hire to edit my videos for me. I used another overseas editor for about 9 months, but it just didn't work out the way I had hoped. I met DAVA at a Youtube conference in 2021, and kept them in my mind until 2022. When I was talking to other large creators about hiring an editor, DAVA was recommended and I remembered them from the conference so I reached out. They were super quick to get back to me and I've been really happy with them ever since. Using DAVA has been a great relief for my business. Their editors are highly talented, communicative, and FAST. When my main editor left the company to pursue schooling full time, they had already taken the initiative to train and communicate my preferences to the new editor and it was a very smooth transition. I appreciate that they are very organized in their systems and communicate with me very promptly through Slack and Asana. The feedback process is also really nice using Frame.io, where I can communicate my edits really easily. When I first asked to see a sample contract (as this is a subscription business model), it looked fine to me. When I got the actual contract, there was a pretty huge and glaring change that would have been nice to know about before regarding payment and fulfilling the contract. I found that to be disappointing and not very upfront since it did significantly change the contract. I did bring this up to my point of contact and I hope they are now showing prospective clients the entire updated contract. Besides this, I have always found our communication to be clear and my questions have always been resolved in a super timely manner. One of the nice things about working with an agency like this vs. a standalone editor, is that the work gets done even when the main editor is sick, out, or otherwise can't complete it. Because of this, I really have a lot of peace of mind with DAVA. The work is excellent, and I have really liked everyone I have talked with and met at the company (I visited their old office in Provo). I trust DAVA with one of the most important aspects of my business, so I extended/upgraded my contract from a 6 month to a 24 month. Feel free to reach out to me about my experience or any questions! read more

I had a really disappointing experience with Dava Marketing. I hired them for thumbnail design services, expecting professional work that aligned with my channel's branding and current trends. Unfortunately, the quality was beyond terrible--no effort was made to research my content, my audience, or even basic YouTube trends. The thumbnails looked generic, uninspired, and completely unusable. On top of that, their service was massively overpriced for what they delivered. What made the experience even worse was that they initially mentioned they would offer a refund if I wasn't satisfied, but when I requested one after seeing the poor results, they outright refused. I wouldn't recommend Dava Marketing to anyone looking for quality YouTube thumbnails. Save your money and find a team that actually understands content creation and values their clients. read more

Dava has been great for me to handle my thumbnails off for my channel. Not only is the quality there but the communications and systems are streamlined. I have been impressed with Dava after working with freelance graphic designers as well as companies that provide similar services. Nothing has compared so far to Dava! They listen to your feedback, and really strive to make the best product possible that will server your audience. So far in 6months my channel CTR has increased from 6.5 to 8.2. Considering I have over 12,000 uploads on my channel it takes a lot to move the needle so I am impressed so far. Looking forward to continuing and expanding my relationship with Dava in the future. read more

I've been with Dava Studios for 4+ years now and I started with them around 200k followers on YouTube. We've grown to over 1 million subscribers now and they have handled all my edits. Dava offers an amazing price for full time editing, the edit my long form, interviews, and short form videos perfectly and their thumbnail designing is also fantastic. It's a one stop shop for everything you need as a YouTuber and I would gladly recommend them to any content creator! You won't be disappointed! read more

I was super impressed that Dava matched my editing style and even elevated it almost immediately! I have a very niche "quirky and family friendly but also not cheesy and kid-ish" style, and they totally got it. They intuitively understood the necessary comedic timing of my videos which you can't really teach. I saw another review said they "get" the YouTube space and that's definitely true. My contact Haylee was super sweet and very quick to respond! Also unlimited revisions is super nice. read more

I started using Dava for thumbnail design as my channel continues to grow and eventually the increased work needs to be off loaded to people who do it better and all the time. Even though its only been 3 months and yea there was a quick learning curve but now its quick and its easy and I can have them make adjustments to my wants. It will save you time which is worth the money invested. read more
