Charly Agency

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner and founder of BeThinketh LLC. We’re makers of a storage container currently selling in retail and e-commerce. We take a small five-gallon bucket and change its aesthetic by placing fabric on the outside.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Weby Agency?

Our challenge was to get millennials and the Y generation to understand why my product is essential. We brought Weby Agency on for their web design services.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

First, Santiago (CEO & Co-Founder) brought constructive thought patterns and analogies as to why approaching my product to a different market would essentially bring me to a different platform. Their team optimized the visual branding, layout, and content of our website including its homepage, product page, and sustainability value-add.

Next, we’ll move on to social media. We focused on the website first because we needed to articulate how our product has sustainability and a good carbon footprint.

What is the team composition?

I worked directly with Santiago.

How did you come to work with Weby Agency?

I met Santiago at a conference. I wanted to work with them because of their trustworthiness, integrity, and experience. He was extremely transparent, and I could tell he had no agenda. Santiago is very approachable.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested about $3,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our ongoing engagement started in November 2020.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The VP of sales and marketing at one of the forerunners in recycling looked at our current changes on the website. One of the reasons they’re looking at doing a collaboration with us is because of some of the changes that Santiago suggested for our website. Their artwork is unquestionable; it’s second to none. I’m blown away.

How did Weby Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management is over the top. Weby Agency’s timing and responsiveness are great. They communicated well through phone calls and email. Santiago sent a document where we could hear his voice over the artwork. I was totally dumbfounded. He used modern technology to get his point across.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m most impressed with their intuitiveness.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there’s nothing that needs to be improved. Santiago’s direction is amazing. He has such a heart for people and his work ethic is exceptional.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Speak to him first just as a person. As business people, we tend to push the business first.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the founder of Odyssey. We are a community-based startup for professional development.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Weby Agency?

We were looking for initial marketing help.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Weby Agency provided marketing services for us. First, we collaborated to define our audience and our ideal clients. From there, we scoped out all of our product ideas and visions.

They helped us work through the ideas and language for our marketing campaigns. Their team provided some wireframes and design suggestions.

What is the team composition?

I had one main point of contact at Weby Agency.

How did you come to work with Weby Agency?

I met their founder through a connection. After an initial conversation, it was clear their team had a deep knowledge of the industry. Their framework seemed to be working for other businesses, so we decided to give it a try.

How much have you invested with them?

We invested around $1,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our engagement ran from November 2020–January 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

After partnering with Weby Agency, our customers were more easily able to understand who we are and what we do. We had much clearer messaging and we’ve grown a lot since working with them.

How did Weby Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

They always erred on the side of overcommunication. Weby Agency sets clear deadlines and follows through. They’re very professional.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Weby Agency is creative and confident. They were able to come up with catchy slogans and delivered changes backed up by arguments.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I would have appreciated seeing the framework and how they were approaching it upfront.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I recommend working with Weby Agency.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of an accelerator for early-stage startups in technology innovation. We’re based in San Jose, California.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Weby Agency?

We were promoting two things, our new website and an AdTech summit we were hosting in the Central Valley. Weby Agency handled all of our marketing for that. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They worked with us to come up with a marketing strategy to promote the event. Weby Agency also helped come up with all of the design, graphics, logos, and other elements to engage with our sponsors. They mainly produced digital marketing materials for us, handling the branding for the event. 

What is the team composition?

I mostly worked with Santiago, but I also worked with the designers. 

How did you come to work with Weby Agency?

I believe I was referred to them by one of the companies in our portfolio. I chose him over everyone else because I really liked their customer service and examples of work they did for other companies. I thought their talent was really spot-on. 

How much have you invested with them?

I believe the cost was around $5,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from December 2019–February 2020. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

We shared everything they produced with our team and our sponsors, and everyone really liked everything Weby Agency created. Our colleagues, employees, and stakeholders had positive feedback for it. 

How did Weby Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

At first, the work was a little slow since they have designers in different countries, but it picked up. I appreciated that there was no middle-person between us and their designers, too. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their actual designers were directly dealing and communicating with us, which I liked.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could have been more engaged in getting back to us sooner rather than later. There were some instances where it took a while to hear back from them. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If I had to give anyone advice, I’d say be very clear about your deliverables and set expectations. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of Farm and Me. We do farm to table services, connecting to the farmers. We operate here in the Bay Area, directly interacting with farms, fishers, and dairy and meat. Everything is organic.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Weby Agency?

I needed my whole website revamped. Initially, I was catering to corporate. But this was all before the pandemic. When COVID-19 hit in March, I decided to transition my business into retail.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Weby Agency handled the copywriting, design work, and website development and integration. I wanted the site to be clean, eye-catching, and concise. From a UX point of view, the customer funnel needed to be in one or two phases until checkout because otherwise, the bounce rate would increase.

Santiago (CEO) coordinated everything with the developer and copywriter to put together the WordPress site. It also had a WooCommerce integration.

What is the team composition?

I worked with three of them.

How did you come to work with Weby Agency?

Santiago and I were classmates at Stanford. I was looking for a developer that could handle my website, but everyone I came across wasn’t up to par. Weby Agency seemed serious and experienced. After reaching out to them, we had a proper conversation to show me pieces of design work. I gave them the signal to get everything done.

How much have you invested with them?

I’ve spent around $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from March–July 2020.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Several of my customers said the new website was a big improvement. It’s easy to use, and that’s all that matters.

While our engagement ended, Weby Agency encouraged me to reach out to them. I’ve had a few tweaks, and they just did it for me willingly.

How did Weby Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

We used Skype and email while I was working with them.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The team at Weby Agency takes the time to explain everything to their customers. In my experience, they also take the time to sketch everything out. Their team walked me through everything step by step. After a week, they would get back to me with updates on the different phases. That works well for someone who isn’t tech-savvy.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The timeline could improve. If you’re working with them, it’s best to expand your timeline. If you’re expecting things to be done in a month, it’s not going to work.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure to clearly define exactly what you’re looking for and what you want. Clear that up very early during the engagement. If it happens during the development, the changes will be difficult and cost a lot more.
