Alain is a passionate and detailed colleague whose drive is in achieving the best results possible in any undertaking he chooses to get involved in.

Alain is one of the nicest bosses I've ever had. He's idealistic, sincere, and pragmatic at the same time. During the time I worked at his studio, he was always very respectful, soft-spoken, and level-headed, and sometimes seems more like a kind uncle than a boss. His past experience on the creative side also makes him unique as a boss, since many bosses aren't creative and are kind of clueless to what the employees are actually working on. Alain could roll up his sleeves and join the battle when the needed arises, and it has a calming/reassuring effect on the employees--to know that the boss can wield a weapon too when the going gets rough.

If there is one thing I can say about Alain Zaugg, is that he stands for commitment. I have never known or have worked with such a leader who's truly committed to putting everything and serving everyone around him first - his partners, his teammates, his family - before himself.

He always "pushed us a little extra" so that we think outside the box and is committed to delivering beyond ordinary results to clients.

Alain has an uncompromising honesty, that I've witnessed constantly in the 13 years I've known him. He's probably the person I trust the most (outside family). He has a sharp and clear mind that can retain and juggle many facts, issues and parameters simultaneously, and come up with the best solution. He has great organizational skills, and 'people' skills, and passion - making him a most excellent leader, facilitator, motivator.

Alain is one of the hardest working owner-professional I have had the pleasure to work with. He is tireless, meticulous and honest in the performance of his duties as owner,manager, producer and production editor.

It is is my pleasure to endorse him and his work, and I will only be to happy to speak to any prospective client of his.
