DD.NYC®

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the CEO and founder of a niche comedy platform where we market comedians to give insights to live shows.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Digital Design NYC?

Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, we've gone in a new direction. We're having podcasts and virtual shows that can be viewed on an app. I don't have a background in computer engineering myself, so I hired Digital Design to develop our mobile app and website platform. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They built our website and are developing our mobile app for iOS and Android platforms. Users can follow their favorite comedians through this app and get notified when their favorites are in town. If I had to compare it to another app, it would be a Spotify-meets-IMDB type of app. It's a database specifically for standup comedy and bands in town.

We’ve built comedian profiles that give them the opportunity to market themselves by putting up their biography, pictures, and videos. There are also links to their social media profiles that can be clicked on to view their tour dates. They’re all interlinkable with other shows.

We also have a show page where users can view all live shows happening around their area. They can also see those shows through our live map page, which they can set up by radius. We started out in New York, but now we're going national, so comedians can list shows across the country. 

Angelica (Founder) has also been working to raise my SEO performance. I’ve leaned on her opinions while navigating the COVID-19 pandemic. She’s put me in touch with her resources. She’s also been helping me in marketing and everything else that comes with building an app and having a business. 

What is the team composition?

I've had a couple of their developers come on the project. Right now, I'm on the third developer. Digital Design has an international staff, and some people had to go to their home countries after COVID-19  hit, so we’ve had to shuffle a little bit. 

How did you come to work with Digital Design NYC?

I was still in grad school at the time, and I happened to be going to a career fair. I was just looking, and Digital Design happened to be there, too. I had an idea in mind and got in touch with the person they had there, which eventually put me in touch with Angelica. We had a meeting and went on from there. 

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we’ve invested around $250,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

Our contract with them was signed in May 2019, and the engagement is ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We've grown in size and have been able to put on comedy shows. Our social media presence has also grown. We're building out the new features available on the app, and we're going for live video shows that can be featured on the app.

That's been the success in where we're going, but no financial metrics are available as of right now. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve had a hiatus when not much was going on. We're still navigating that.

How did Digital Design NYC perform from a project management standpoint?

Digital Design performed very well. They get back to me, and they’ve been very responsive. When we first started working, I was able to come to their office. Because I live in the same state and not too far from where their offices are, we're able to work together and have weekly meetings. They show me our progress, and they've been very hands-on. 

The team uses Trello and other tools. I'm not the most organized person myself, so I like the old fashioned phone call. That's how I work, but they do have other communication tools that are available to use. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

The Digital Design team is very creative, and their adaptability is most impressive. They’re not like a corporation. They're more of a private company that bends to me a little bit. They'll offer suggestions on the way they can do things, but at the end of the day, they'll adapt to my vision. Even with navigating covid, they’re very accommodating, going above and beyond just being developers.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there’s not necessarily anything I would’ve changed, because I couldn't really anticipate everything that was going to happen. We're moving in the right direction. I wish we could have anticipated things better since we just got started with virtual comedy podcasting. But, no one could really anticipate that this was going to happen and be sustained for so long. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Potential customers should set up an initial meeting and make sure they have the same vision going forward. They should set up their goals on where they want to be in the upcoming months.
