Testimonials

"Creme Collective is really the wrong name for this company of creative geniuses: they should be called the A-TEAM. I spent months working with Creme Collective to on-board their clients for an exciting TV shopping opportunity, which you can imagine has a lot of twists and turns to get things done right. There is so much comfort in knowing that the checklist to get things done always gets done when this team is involved. Can they teach a Masterclass to other companies on how to do it right?"
Danny Seo, "Naturally, Danny Seo"
"The Crème Collective team has an amazing curation of new, emerging, and established brands that they're always adding to. They are super reliable and we adore working with them! They never cease to amaze us with their support. They're truly great partners."

She introduces us to new lines with education and samples so our team can feel and experience the product before making decisions. Heather has been one of my favorites to work with. I can't recommend her and the Crème team more."
