Easy to work with and very transparent on timelines and cost

Eric Hughes / CEO | Oct 13, 2026

Maven up Creative did an excellent job for us. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

The Software Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes.

Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

We engaged Maven up Creative to develop a scheduling and dispatch tool for our field team. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. The engagement ran for about 5 months.

Professional Game Development Team, Smooth Delivery From Start to Finish

Brandon Graham / Founder & CEO | Sep 09, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline.

The Game Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes.

Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

We engaged Maven up Creative to port our game to new platforms and improve performance. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. The engagement ran for about 9 months.

Exceeded our expectations on quality and communication

Rachel Bennett / General Manager | Jul 14, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Maven up Creative. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. Documentation at handover was a bit thin and we had to ask for more detail. We would definitely work with them again.
