Bambuk Studio

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I worked as a Creative producer for Azerbaijani delegation at Eurovision Song Contest 2019. All the team of the Delegation was international: Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Denmark, Austria, Sweden, Cyprus, Germany. The preparation to the contest was held in January-May. The project was consisted from few stages: artist scouting, song scouting, song recording, artist image development, PR and marketing strategy, staging development, participation in Song Contest. The project was successful for the Delegation as Azerbaijan achieved 7th (top 10) place in the Contest.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Bambuk Studio?

The project itself is very challenging as all its stages are being done with hard deadlines. Promotional campaign for the Azerbaijani participant started from the presentation, created by Bambuk Studio. Their team offered a unique visual design style, which was used through over the project.

What were your goals for this project?

The main goal was to make sure that the artist’s fan base increases and getting through the Eurovision Final. To make all the artist's visuals recognisable and catchy.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

My team searched the design studios online and via recommendations. There was also held an internal tender. Within the week we received visual concepts from different companies. The creative approach from Bambuk Studio fulfilled our need best. The company started from doing the presentations and then followed creating cover for the song and all the online visuals for the project and the artist in particular style.

Describe the project in detail.

Once we selected Bambuk Studio we started our collaboration for the whole project. As we were located in different cities all the communication was done online. The contact person from the company was their Creative Director Oles Kucherenko, who literally became a part of our delegation as a creative consultant. He with his team learned all the details about the artist, song, staging, PR strategy and then came up with the visual ideas for the campaign. All the visuals were linked to the futuristic style of the project which made the participant and his entry in the Contest recognisable and increased the fan base. Bambuk Studio was very flexible with overtime work and provided all the materials before the deadline.

What was the team composition?

We were assigned two specialists to work on the project. As I already mentioned before Oles Kucherenko was our creative consultant same as he controlled the project flow within Bambuk Studio and made the final adjustments. Also we had a production manager who controlled the deadlines and the timing of the project. Behind these people there was a team of designers behind.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Thanks to our collaboration with Bambuk Studio we achieved higher results than expected. Our goal was to make sure that the artist gets through the Eurovision Final. The participant achieved the TOP 10 place in the Final which didn't happen for Azerbaijani Delegation for the last 6 years.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The communication with Bambuk Studio was very constructive and built on trust. The team is always willing to help and find the solution in any extremely burning situation.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The creative potential and its realisation are enormous. Bambuk Studio would always come up with better ideas that you ever expected. The company provides very high quality services. I was blown up with their Ricker Lyman project. There is a stereotype that Eastern European companies provide no-winning content. I as a specialist, who worked with many international companies, would say that this stereotype fails here. The task was done perfectly and got great feedback from international community.

Are there any areas for improvement?

There is always no limit of perfection. However when it comes to deadlines and no specific vision from the Client except "Just make it beautiful" you would be left with more than perfect collaboration experience with Bambuk Studio. This actually happened to me and our whole delegation.

We have commissioned the studio to contribute creatively on several projects for our key customers – an FMCG company, a telecommunication company, and a car manufacturer, among others.

1. Create visually rich user experience for consumer engagement applications on mobile devices
2. Create visually appealing animation sequences for interactive in-store displays.

SOLUTION

The studio has convinced us with the variety of their services, availability of resources, flexibility, and rates. The team has a strong "can do" attitude and pro-active problem-solving approach.

Describe the project in detail.

Projects, where Bambuk guys were involved, included sketching, character design, storyboarding, user interface design, 3D rendering, and video post-production, among other services.

The great atmosphere and flat company hierarchy led to high levels of creative output. The enduring spirit and positive attitude even in the most challenging situations, i.e., tough deadlines. Overall – great working culture.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Guys should be more realistic at setting up deadlines and at providing effort estimations.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the CEO of a semiconductor startup. Our clients are some of the largest retailers in the world.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Bambuk Design Studio?

Bambuk is working with us from the moment the company was founded. They have done all our design work - logo, branding, product demo, and video.

What were your goals for this project?

1. Branding
2. Contract with customers based on the product demo Bambuk designed.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Bambuk came through a recommendation from one of my team members who have worked with them in the past and was very happy with them.

Describe the project in detail.

We started with a brainstorming session to understand our goals and values. Within days they sent us a few drafts to choose the general direction. Following our feedback, they came back with the mockups and final design.

What was the team composition?

We had two people working with us. Most of my contact was with the designer who served as a project manager as well. I am always impressed by his ability to be both an excellent strategist as well as amazing executionist.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We were aiming for three commercial contracts, that we pitched with the demos Bambuk designed. We got all three.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Oles, the designer, and my main contact is extremely professional. I always come in the last minute, with a tight deadline. He always finds the time to have the first Skype call on the same day and starts immediately. We then talk every one/two days, when he has something to show me and needs feedback. His English is very good and he is very easy to communicate with. I'm always impressed by their ability to manage tight schedules, while still provides amazing service and outstanding outcomes.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

First of all, they always demonstrate amazing customer support and service. They are always there for me, no matter what I need and how fast I need it. Second, I'm always blown away with the outcome. They are doing an amazing job, starting from the strategy and brainstorming and up to the final design detail.

I look at them as my own design team, and I know that they would excel in whatever task I would give them. By now, I've recommended them to about 8 more startups. No doubt I would come back, and in fact, I have no desire to work with anyone else on any design-related gigs.

Are there any areas for improvement?

They don't always deliver on time, but to be fair, the deadlines I give them are almost impossible. It should be noted that when they are late, they always communicate it and it always because they dive extremely deep and want to make more corrections to perfect the design. They are very diligent in providing outstanding design.

Describe the project in detail.

The project was very important as it was to show our capabilities at the CES trade show in Las Vegas. We had a general idea what we want to see. and Bambuk came up with numerous design and implementation ideas for graphics, functionality, UI and UX.

What was the team composition?

The team was concise, and we were exposed just to the team manager. This was very convenient and efficient to have this one-stop person for all the questions and discussions.

What challenge were you trying to address with Bambuk Design Studio? 

We wanted to create a unique image for our company that conveyed an ideal of technology.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement? 

Bambuk Design Studio is developing our entire corporate image. We gave them a hard constraint of a particular emotion that we want to achieve. In terms of look and feel, we want a retro yet futuristic look. They did a conceptual design of the imagery for our company, and then they implemented that in a new website. They also produced a book that we published, brochures that we hand out at events, and a booth that we use at conferences. They even helped revise our logo.

We get nothing but praise for their work. Bambuk Design Studio had posters made with brilliant illustrations. They went and found the artist that could achieve our objective. We're hooked on Bambuk Design Studio. We don't want to use anybody else so we have them on retainer.

People are always blown away by the brochures and business cards they designed. The brochure has a wonderful design to make them look like punch cards. People always grab our business cards because they’re so unique. Anything and everything that they designed for us gets a positive reaction when we hand it to a customer or prospect. Their work is awesome, and makes us look fantastic.

How did Bambuk Design Studio perform from a project management standpoint? 

Their team never misses a deadline or goes over budget. More important, Bambuk Design Studio always delivers exactly what they say will when they say it will be done. Viktor is awesome to work with. We tell him what we're trying to achieve and sends back an estimate of how long it's going to take.

If it’s a big project, we usually schedule it so I'm in Lviv and we can talk about it in person. That's maybe once a year. We kick off minor projects over Skype, and then use emails and chat. They also have access to our Jira. They use it to send sketches and we provide feedback. It works out quite well. 

What did you find most impressive about them? 

We knew our request wasn't easy. They go beyond my expectations. Bambuk Design Studio always comes up with a better way of doing a task than I could imagine. They continue to surprise me with their creativity. 

Are there any areas they could improve? 

No, I don't think so. They do everything we ask them to do. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers? 

Tell them what you're trying to achieve but not how to achieve it. Don't constrain them. Unleash them and their creativity, and they'll blow you away.
