Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Marton Varon, the Executive Producer would meet with the Senior Advisor of the Homleess Count project and key deadlines with weekly check ins were established.  Brandefy would deliver on time, and when we fell behind due to competing priorities, they would provide us with realistic timelines so that we could make an assessment and coordinate priority deliverables.  Most communication was via email, however, when we had our check ins, those were verbal via phone and they were prepared with recommendations to ensure delivery of our videos.  They also participated in project debriefs that were held yearly to improve our communication and process with them.  

What was your primary form of communication with Brandefy?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Problem solvers - as a government entity, there were times when our review and approval process took longer which would impact their delivery/return time.  Brandefy was very clear about realistic timelines and offered recommendations and solutions for our product deliverables. 

Easily accessible - when their were urgent requests, they were a phone call away and replied quickly.

High quality work - their animation was of high quality work and simplified complex instructions.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Brandefy could have done differently?

No.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We contracted Brandefy for a long-format (5 minute) case study video that would effectively tell the story of one of our clients. We also wanted a highlight of that video (1-minute) with additional shorts for social media. 

Interview our client on-site in California, produce the video, and collaborate with us on revisions and specific requests.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The case study had to:

1. Effectively communicate the value of our product
2. Have compelling visual elements to keep interest and be engaging
3. Appear polished and professional
4. Match our brand guidelines

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The project was managed well from my POV. Marton was very communicative, and making revision requests via email and through comments on Vimeo was easy to do. If I had questions or concerns, Marton was always very responsive. He was also understanding with changes from our end, flexible, and patient when we were still figuring out some details. Not pushy and very profressional.

Deliver on time? 

Yes, every time they said they'd have something for us, it was there. 

Respond to your needs?

Yes, no matter what I asked—and I was very particular—Marton and his team were responsive and always ensured that we had a final product that we were happy with. They followed our feedback exactly how we asked.

What was your primary form of communication with Brandefy?

Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The quality of work for the price point. Brandefy does an exceptional job for a reasonable price. I am very pleased with the quality of the product we received at the pricepoint we worked with. Because of that, I'd work with Brandefy exclusively in the future.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Brandefy could have done differently?

The only thing that I would think could be a little better (and that doesn't detract from my raving review) are some of the visual elements that were chosen. Some of the alignment or spacing of logos, transitions, and motion graphics weren't preferable up front, but they worked with our requests to make it right. That mattered more. 

It's sometimes hard to communicate a brand without being immersed in it every day, so IMO, this had more to do with that and perhaps our teams lack of communication about those specific things upfront.

Our firm needed a quick-turn 90-second sizzle reel to send to a client prospect in advance of our presentation that was fun, upbeat and memorable.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

• Success to us was if the client prospects mentioned the video and/or it made them excited to meet with us. It did both -- the first thing they shared when we arrived at their office was how much they liked the video and appreciated the effort we put in to learn about their business, which the video conveyed.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

They were incredibly responsive. I first emailed them to get a quote late in the evening and heard right back. Items were delivered on time and, along the way, I always had a clear understanding of the process and assets needed.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Super easy to work with on all fronts! Incredibly responsive to my questions and also very helpful on the administrative side in providing the information needed to get them set up in our system - especially given this was a quick-turn project. And they took the amateur visuals we provided them and turned it into something fun to watch.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Brandefy could have done differently?

Not that I can think of.

BACKGROUND

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Brandefy, and what were your goals?

We were in need of high quality, professional training videos to operate one of our machines.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I had previously looked into other video production companies, but after a quick interview process, Brandefy was the most economical while still providing high quality videos and a professional staff.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail, including the project steps and all stages of production.

We actually knew what we wanted. We just needed someone to record with high quality equipment with a professional voice over for the step by step instructions. Once Marton was on set, he helped us piece together video clips for the script that we had created as to tell the story properly. There was even a couple videos that I filmed and needed added, and you can't really tell that it was shot with a lesser quality camera.

Who did you work with and what was the feedback process like?

Marton was our main point of contact. He provided feedback through Vimeo. The process was very easy to provide feedback.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have not yet rolled out the videos, but will be doing so shortly, but management agrees that these will be a great asset for new additions to our team.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Marton was very easy to communicate with and very flexible with time frames. There were a couple times where we needed some extra time to figure out a couple key details for the project and Marton was very patient with us.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They work very quickly and are very flexible with scheduling. Those are a couple things that I value the most.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

With so many videos, the changes that were needed sometimes got lost after they were fixed. It would be nice to have a "revision history/log" to refer back to.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail, including the project steps and all stages of production.

We got a questionnaire we had to put all our expectations ,demands and desires. We also had many zoom meetings and Emails during the whole process including a live video call during the photoshoot (It was awesome). We saw the whole operation at the site Brandefy hired for us and the standings of the Models , cameras , drones etc...

Who did you work with and what was the feedback process like?

We worked with Mr. Marton which was great and precise to our requests, the feedback process was all along the way with the storyboard , scripting and filming and after the results, we had to follow Vimeo platform and make our remarks.

The outcome and impact of the work was annormouse, we got the best reviews for the look and feel of Brandefy work.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

They were very easy to communicate , listening to our needs and requests. Mostly using easy tools like Vimeo and Invision.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They took the time to learn about our product, the market that we are aiming for and they were very cooperative with our needs whilst being very creative with a diversity of offers to make it even better.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

We don't feel that we could get a better service at that one, all was good to us.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the Marketing Director for a 40 year old Home Service/Plumbing company, Allens Plumbing, based on Maui but also operating on Oahu. Although our audience is typically aware of our company, we recognized the need to modernize our branding efforts.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Brandefy, and what were your goals?

We know that our audience is consuming media in more places than ever and that people are no longer looking in the phonebook when they need a plumber. We partnered with Brandefy to produce a video that we'll be using in our Targeted Video Ad campaigns, ensuring that our brand and the services that we offer are presented properly in the digital space.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Originally, in early 2021, we considered utilizing a Whiteboard/Explainer video to convey our catalog of services to our audience. I spoke with a handful of video production/marketing companies about this goal. After finding Brandefy on Clutch, I had a great conversation with Marton Varo. He was quick to understand the needs of our brand and showed me videos from Brandefy's catalog that matched the feel we were looking for. We ended up not making the original type of video; however, Marton did well to keep the conversation going by checking in every few months and doing his absolute best to maintain awareness of our company, brand, and goals. When the time came to produce an animated video, Marton was the only person I had to call. Once again, he heard exactly what we needed and was able to present a vision that did well by the Allens Plumbing brand.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail, including the project steps and all stages of production.

Again, the conversation with Marton went on for basically a year before production even started. He always made sure to keep himself informed on Allens Plumbing, the marketing moves that I was making, and how our goals may have shifted over time. When we did finally decide that it was time for an Ad for our Targeted Video campaigns, Brandefy was able to deliver the project right on time. It took about 6 weeks from start to finish. Marton and his team were very easy to work with and the workflow was efficient and always made sense. After I filled out their questionnaire, the Brandefy team was able to write a script that conveyed our message very well. They were happy to make any small tweaks and did a great job making sure that all the main points of our message made it into the final product. When it came to the actual production, they were, again, very happy to address any small adjustments/tweaks needed and the turnaround time was always exceptionally quick.

Who did you work with and what was the feedback process like?

We worked directly with Marton, Brandefy's Executive Producer. Again, it was truly a pleasure. Marton is just exceptionally perceptive and did an amazing job to capture and convey the needs of our company and brand. He understood our direction and vision and created a great product.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We launched our Targeted Video campaign today (March 24, 2022); but, to this point, anyone that's scene has been very impressed. We're confident that it will do well and be a great creative switch from some of our existing efforts. The Brandefy team did a great job to keep the message clean and professional, while also incorporating the local appeal that's necessary in our market.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Marton was exceptionally easy to work with, always did a great job to capture our vision, was consistently available and quick to respond to questions or concerns. Quite sincerely, he's a very easy person to work with, listened well, and produced a video that exceeded all of our expectations.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Marton is exceptionally personable. Even when the video wasn't a priority of ours -- and it was unclear if we'd ever make one -- Marton was happy to keep the dialog going. Beyond this project, I feel like I've got a career-long business colleague in Marton.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

I've got nothing negative to say about Brandefy or Marton. It was truly a pleasure to work with them.
