Rip Media Group review
Broad format range — live commercial, motion graphics, character animation, whiteboard and 3D — and a roster reaching Bank of America, Nike, AOL and Kodak, but its named "Greenlight Production Process" is a trademark with no published steps, and nothing commercial is disclosed.
No published price we can link to. We do not estimate one — ask on the call, and see the pricing-transparency line in the scores below.
Verdict
Rip Media Group has been operating since 2007 and the client evidence is real: Bank of America, AARP, AOL, Nike, Kodak and StudentsFirst, with team credits reaching into broadcast — Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Access Hollywood, NBC, CBS, FOX and Comedy Central. That is a longer runway than most of this category and it deserves weight. Production range is the clearest strength. Live commercial video, motion graphics, character animation, whiteboard animation, and 3D models and motion design is genuinely broad — a buyer who does not yet know whether the brief wants a shot commercial or a whiteboard explainer does not have to decide before shortlisting. The problem is that nothing operational or commercial is published. There is no price, range or starting figure on any page read. There is no timeline. There is nothing on who owns the footage or the project files. And the process — branded "Greenlight Production Process" with a trademark symbol — is named on both the services and about pages and described on neither. A trademarked process with no published steps is a brand asset, not a disclosure; it tells a buyer that the agency believes its method is distinctive without letting them check whether it is. Where Casual Films names five stages and its own PM platform, and Epipheo ties revision rounds to specific gates, this names a process and stops. One note on how this record was reached, because it changes the verdict. Scored on the services page alone, Rip Media came to 2.45 — a cut. Reading the about page as well surfaced the Bank of America, Nike, AOL and Kodak roster and the 2007 founding date, which lifted craft from the bottom of the scale and the record to 2.95. The cut would have been an artifact of reading one page. That is the whole reason this library reads more than one. Worth a call if format flexibility is the constraint and you have budget latitude. Not comparable against anyone on published evidence, because there is none to compare.

These are other platforms' numbers, not ours. We report them because they are part of the picture, and we do not average them into our score — our score comes from the published rubric above.
Red flags
- A trademarked process named on two pages and described on neither. The trademark asserts distinctiveness; nothing published lets a buyer verify it.
- "Award-winning" appears with no award named, no category and no year.
- Several named clients (AOL, Kodak, StudentsFirst) are associated with eras well before the present. Nothing dates the work, so recency should be established on a call rather than assumed.
How it scored
Craft and portfolio evidence
Bank of America, AARP, AOL, Nike, Kodak and StudentsFirst named, with broadcast credits (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Access Hollywood, NBC, CBS, FOX, Comedy Central) and a 2007 founding date. Self-published, and no work is attributable to a named engagement.
Scope and pricing transparency
No price, range, package or starting figure on either the services or about page. No pricing page exists on the domain.
Process and project management
The "Greenlight Production Process" is named with a trademark symbol on both pages read and described on neither — no steps, no approval gates, no revision structure, no tooling. A trademarked name is a brand asset, not a process disclosure.
Format and production range
Live commercial video, motion graphics, character animation, whiteboard animation, and 3D models and motion design. Broad enough that the treatment does not have to be settled before the agency is.
Rights, ownership and licensing
Nothing located on ownership of footage or project files, or on licence duration.
Turnaround and scheduling
No timeline, delivery window or booking lead time stated on either page read.
References and review base
No Clutch or G2 profile, review count or third-party rating located. "Award-winning" is claimed without naming an award.
What we could not verify
- Any price, range or starting figure
- What the Greenlight Production Process actually consists of
- Any production timeline or booking lead time
- Who owns footage and project files
- Which awards the "award-winning" claim refers to
- Whether the named clients are recent or historic — a 2007 founding date and an AOL credit could both be twenty years old
