Thank you, Showcase!”
MATTHEW MCKINNEY | TENOR
"There are so many amazing things to say about Poppy and the team at showcase, it’s hard to know where to start. The overarching feeling, from start to end, was that they care deeply about their work. The process is accessible and efficient (regardless of technical competency!), and they come to the first meeting with ideas, excitement and warmth. There is a real attentiveness to the individual, and to what you stand for as an artist. They spend time on understanding who you are and it becomes a meaningful collaboration. I’m proud of the website we made, and I am forever grateful to Poppy and the team for all they bring to the table."

The team at Showcase are doing something unique and vital for the online music space, and I couldn't recommend working with them more."

TARA VENKATESAN
“Thank you Poppy and Showcase Creative for building the most gorgeous website! Poppy took my super DIY, ugly duckling website and turned it into a swan. Not only does she have a keen eye for aesthetics, she goes out of her way to make sure your website really feels like you (and the best version of you). She spent a lot of time trying to figure out how I was going to use the website, who the audience was, and what was the best way to display and organise text, images etc. She has also designed a really comprehensive, systematic way of documenting edits so the process is very transparent and clear. It was such a collaborative, fun, and uncomplicated process, I was genuinely sad when it was over. Thank you Poppy!!!”

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone and everyone!"
DANIEL GRAY BELL | TENOR
