The Quote

Black Pug was wonderful to work with and delivered just what we needed for our rebranding.
Lion Martinez, Global Product Manager, Wasder
Black Pug Studio provide a professional, innovative and client centric approach to web design and development. They know what works and it shows in what they produce.
Mary Ryan, Deputy CEO, WestBIC
Black Pug Studios worked with us throughout the end of 2017/2018 on our brand THRONE-Recruiting. They took care of the look, feel and brand direction, as well as the creation and implementation of our CRM database from scratch - the core and heart of our business. The team consists of absolute professionals in their fields of expertise and it was a pleasure to work with them. Responsive, quick to react, professional in everything they do, and most importantly: creative. They fulfilled all our needs to our utmost satisfaction and I am sure we will do business together in the future.
Jan Gerwat, Senior HR Consultant & Managing Partner, THRONE-Recruiting
Great to see this Galway start-up getting international recognition.
