Straight From Our Clients

Don't Take Our
Word For It

WOW! What you guys pulled off with the promo trucks was easily one of the most talked about pieces of the entire Puma Kit Reveal. Seeing them all lined up exactly like the render was a moment. From a logistics and execution standpoint, it was no small lift and you made it feel seamless for us. It showed, and it delivered in a big way for the client. Puma has been raving across the board, but the trucks were a clear standout and a huge part of what created that “wow” factor. I appreciate you bringing that level of precision and professionalism. This is exactly the kind of partnership that makes everything run smoother on our end.

The Aardvark team are true professionals — they know their business inside and out and provide solid insights, work collaboratively, and step in to provide additional help any time it is needed! They are a fantastic and personable team to work with and provide an outstanding product with knowledgeable and dedicated CDL drivers.

The Aardvark team is incredible. They are passionate, knowledgeable and great partners to have. Jen and team are quick to pivot or suggest alternatives as programs develop while always remaining friendly and professional. Their onsite team is lovely as well, they go above and beyond to help make the activation a success. I would recommend Aardvark to anyone looking to host a mobile event!

I wanted to sincerely thank you for your excellent work during the pandemic. I think the testing trucks are one of the very best things PDPH did for the city, and that was made possible because of all of you and your extraordinary teams. I look forward to hearing about what the truck and two storefronts continue to do!

The experience was great! I think all the drivers were a joy to work with. They were very prompt and always met our needs. Your team was on point with support and helping us to manage ongoing changes. I think I can speak for the team in expressing our appreciation for the company’s patience in overall comms and getting documents signed - huge help!

It truly was a joy to work with Aardvark, as we mentioned before, the process was smooth, the weekly production calls were truly appreciated even if the update was just the tiniest detail. I’d say from an Idlewild learning, going forward we would love to get the Run of Shows over to your team sooner but that comes with a greater learning of having more time to plan this tour with the client. Given we had approximately 30 days, we collectively did an exceptional job!

Fantastic truck and program. The build was beautiful—sleek, top-of-the-line, and looked exactly like the rendering. The team was incredibly easy to work with, offering flexibility and support throughout the design and sourcing process. We’d absolutely work with them again.

Halfway through the tour, both Stiiizy and their retail partners have been incredibly excited. The team feels fully supported by Aardvark and the driver, and the truck has been a huge content driver. Dispensaries are even seeing a lift in sales during and after events.
