Emirates Islamic

Arif Shaikh, Head of Marketing Delivery & Communication

I have known and worked with Dev Vaswani and Milkshake Media for several years. The Team at Milkshake has provided excellent support to produce some great content for the organisations I have worked at, including emotional films for Ramadan or modern visual content for newly upgraded branches. Working with Dev and his team has always been a delightful experience. His instinctive understanding of audio visual communication and storytelling, and the Milkshake team’s relentless drive for perfection make it an easy decision for us to work with Milkshake. They have never let us down, and 100% reliable when it comes to delivering on brief.

Bosch Home Appliances Middle East

Piril Kavala Altinsoy, Brand Marketing & Corporate Communications Manager

When we selected Milkshake Media over other suppliers, we were highly impressed by their flexible and professional mindset. Despite the short time line, they were always professional and fun. From the beginning to the last-minute changes at the end their planning and execution was done in the right way and so hassle-free. They definitely know how to think outside of the box, and the execution and ideas were at a superior level. They understood our needs and always came up with the right solution.

Milkshake is a 360° production company that is refreshing to work with – efficient, creative and task driven! The key differentiator is they have a strong team that takes initiative and a can do attitude which adds substantial value to ideas and budgets.


 
 

BBDO Pakistan

Aamir Alibhoy, GM

Milkshake Media were truly a receptive and committed partner. I was thoroughly impressed with Dev and his team members ability to deliver under pressing timelines as well as add value each step of the way. Their director research was thorough, and the overall production was solid. I can confidently say that the experience was on par with top productions I have been part of in both the Middle East as well as Asia.


 
 

Far Commercials

Jeet Surendranath , Partner

Dubai, and the UAE have very frankly always been a night mare venue for our filming projects, literally over the last decade…Suddenly here comes Dev and his Milkshake team….Truly like an oasis in a desert…and changes everything …providing our first truly superb Dubai filming experience and our team at FAR yearns for many more Dubai location shoots.. Right through the initial discussions, the working on design, locations, art, talent sourcing, and budgeting, down to the last detail on our 5 day stint we were amazed at the precision and efficiency of Dev, Natasha, and their super team… Looking forward to our next UAE shoot schedule…


 
 

JWT Group Germany

Till Hohmann, CCO

Milkshake Media is more than a production house. Much more. Because its not about pushing a few Directors. Its about a comprehensive offering paired with the highest level of business understanding and professionalism. The access to a multitude of talent and different production partners allows for a much faster and much better search. A one stop shop for finding the right production team is just what many agencies need. One can only congratulate Mr. Vaswani for starting this enterprise.


 
 

TDIC

Bassem Terkawi, VP

When we pitched for the production of Saadiyat’s first TV commercial, we were determined to choose the best of the best. We needed to ensure that Saadiyat’s first debut on the TV screen was represented up to the standard that we believe Saadiyat to be as a destination. Milkshake represented their selves as a strong team with an integrated approach in the meeting room, but once hired they delivered beyond our expectations during the pre-production, production and post-production stages. Dev has a unique talent of bringing the right people on board customized for the project. Their ability to be flexible yet problem solvers really gave us peace of mind during the stressful process of producing a large scale TV ad such as ours. You can really see the attention to detail that has been put into it when seeing the finished product. Thank you Milkshake .


 
 

Little Lamb Films

Bauddhayan Mukherji (Buddy), Owner

Who wouldn’t want a cool milkshake in the middle of a sultry desert? That’s precisely how we felt when we shot with the Milkshake team. Amazing production values, nice professional people, smiling faces… superlike!


 
 

Radical Media

Christian Aeby, Director

Big fun to work with Milkshake Media – you anticipated our simple and improvised way of shooting things. Always friendly and helpful and in a light atmosphere. This is what we needed, and what helped to be really creative. Yes, we’ll be back – especially for these in-numerous location possibilities that Dubai offers. Thanks again for all this!


 
 

Zed Communications

Robert Mitchell, CEO

Zed worked with Dev and the Milkshake team on our commercial to celebrate the 40th UAE National Day, the one with the voice of His Highness the late Sheikh Zayed. As you can imagine, the expectations were high and the pressure to deliver something outstanding was intense. However, Dev and the team were really professional and went the extra mile to deliver what we were looking for, on time and in budget. Working with Milkshake is like working in the US or Europe for me, the sense that everyone – Agency, Client, Production, Director – is all part of one team and fully focused on getting the best possible result together. When we needed anything on set, props or equipment, it was always there and any money discussions were secondary to them. These guys really deserve every success in the market, I wish them well.


 
 

Tonic Communications

Mamta Vererkar, Senior Business Manager

I’d highly recommend Milkshake Media for their flexible approach and thoroughly professional attitude. Dev and his team were very attentive to our needs and are a breath of fresh air in the production arena.


 
 

Dubai Cares

Sara Al Boom, Media Officier

A colleague shared the details of Milkshake media 2 years ago and we have since had them on our minds whenever we have an event. They have great work ethic and a creative eye that not all production companies acquire. The crew are always prompt and driven with the work they do, they handle our requests with such ease and are extremely accommodating.

 


 
 

Film Director

Moneer Barakat, Film Director

Just as their name is unique, so is their approach to doing films. I’ve found on all the projects I’ve done for them that their priority first and foremost is to provide ideas to add value to the process from PreProduction to Final Edit. And whether it was a big TV commercial or a small documentary I was filming for them, the attitude remained the same. This is thanks to no small part to Dev who is a real film person. With his passion, great organization skills and attention to details, he made my life as a director so easy. And so rewarding as some of the best films on my showreel are produced by Milkshake. Great name for a great team.


 
 

Director-DOP

Sean Fitzpatrick, Director-DOP

Shooting in Dubai always presents challenges, but not this time. All thanks have to go to Dev and his Milkshake team for a very smooth and relaxed production. I was particularly impressed by the team’s dedication and their attention to detail. This was all masterfully managed by Dev, and his experience in the film business really helped us achieve some great stuff. And to top it all we had great fun doing it!
