Fat Cow Media

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

We are a commercial debt and asset recovery business, and we collect money that is owed to businesses and get involved in commercial mediation and alternative dispute resolution. I’m the principal consultant.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Fat Cow Media?

We are a small company, and for several years have survived off of business that has come from referrals from clients that have worked with us or either me or the director at some point in the last ten years. As nice as that is, at the end of the day, we want to take the business forward into the next decade and need to pursue new markets in order to do that.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Fat Cow Media has helped us to break into digital marketing and really get us up to speed with regard to our website, among other things. Basically, they have put together a strategy for the areas in which we need to place ourselves.

That involves using social media to expand our reach out of the Southwest region of the UK where we are. It also involves just sort of busting several myths about what can and can’t be done in our business and trying to provide clarity of information about our business.

We are approaching the launch of this campaign, so nothing is out there yet, but we are preparing for the next wave of jobs that come in around the beginning of next year.

What is the team composition?

I work directly with Steve (Director, Fat Cow Media), who I’ve known for quite some time on a personal basis.

How did you come to work with Fat Cow Media?

I had a relationship with him that we had built through our mutual networks. I had been recommended him by several companies that I have worked with and knew that he would be very good at what we wanted to do.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent less than $10,000 with them at this point in the process.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2018 and the project is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Working with Steve has been a really great experience. He has a good sense of humor, patience, and tolerance for dealing with people who are very unfamiliar with what he does. We have been very impressed with his skills in planning, and especially with his industry knowledge.

He deals with almost every kind of business, from pop music videos to banks, to night clubs. It shows you how effective his methods are that they are applicable to such a wide range of businesses.

How did Fat Cow Media perform from a project management standpoint?

They are always very quick to respond. Often times if we’re discussing and you need to see something in order to visualize it, he’ll have it to you within several hours. Communication, in general, is excellent.

Steve also has the unique ability to be able to break things down and explain them to me as if I were seven so that I can understand it more deeply, but without being condescending. That’s something I really appreciate about his approach.

What did you find most impressive about them?

If I had to name one most impressive thing, it would be that he delivers exactly what he says he will. A lot of businesses have the problem of over-promising and under-delivering, but with him, it’s actually often the other way around. He’ll tell you what he’s going to do, and then you’ll actually get that plus a little bit more that he decided you needed as well.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I’m sorry I can’t think of anything more interesting, but there’s really nothing I wish he would do differently.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Trust his process, because he really knows what he is doing. Don’t be too proud to let someone explain what you should do with your business.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

We run an online therapy platform. I'm the brand and marketing coordinator.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Fat Cow Media?

We hired them to help us with web development projects.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They developed and designed our website, and they work with us on digital marketing. The site has a database of alternative therapists who can create profiles, register, and upload documents, qualifications, and backgrounds. There are various membership levels that therapists can select. Users can then search for therapists using parameters like location, specialty, and other markers.

Fat Cow Media also helps with our SEO, and the site was built with SEO in mind. They deal with both on-page SEO and our rankings within search engines for the individual therapists within our database. They focus on keywords that surround various therapy types, and the goal is to improve our rankings in a variety of offerings. The site bespoke, and I believe it is based in PHP.

What is the team composition?

We worked closely with one point of contact, and the group is fairly small. In all, the team is probably a little larger than one or two people.

How did you come to work with Fat Cow Media?

They were recommended to us. We considered five companies, shortlisted three of them, and decided to work with Fat Cow Media. They were a small company, and we appreciated the fact that we could reach them easily by phone. They could cover all our needs, and offered to build something unique.

How much have you invested with them?

The initial build was between $5,000-$10,000, and we pay more for their SEO and maintenance services.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together around June 2016, and we work together on an ongoing basis.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We've had a very good experience, and we will continue to work with them. They're always at hand if we have a problem or need support. Our traffic increases month over month, and we get a lot of registrations from new therapists and users. Most of our core traffic comes through organic search, and Fat Cow Media does a great job.

How did Fat Cow Media perform from a project management standpoint?

They allowed us to be involved, even though we're not particularly technical. We provided reference sites that we liked the look of, and they came up with original ideas that incorporated pieces from each. We changed our minds a few times through the process, but the price remained fixed. The process was quite easy, and they advised and supported us throughout.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The site looks great, and the overall design is simple, creative, and easy to use. They met the brief, and the site is very strong.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don't think there's anything they should improve.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Whether you're an established firm or new to business, they will come up with a great end product. Don't be afraid to reach out to them, even if you haven't clarified all your ideas yet.

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

FatCow Media was asked to design a website for a new charity, set up to encourage individuals and companies to donate time and expertise towards projects and opportunities for disadvantaged children at The UCL Academy.

• Clear, bespoke eye-catching graphics 
• Intuitive page structure/mapping 
• A payment system for online donations
•  Ability to request further information/contact from the charity 
• Ability to easily sign up for donating time/expertise 
• Animated home page displaying the most current/important updates

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Initial feedback from school Governors, Academy staff, students, and parents/carers invited to the launch was very positive. Everybody was very complimentary about the website. We are currently incorporating the online payment system (a late addition at our request), so realistically won't have an awful lot of feedback until this has been completed and shared with potential donors.

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

From the initial meeting through to completion, the process/project management was extremely fluid. We had a relatively good idea of the visuals we wanted to achieve but always took Steve's lead. His comments were always positive, constructive and more importantly, well-delivered, which helped us to relinquish any preconceived ideas we had and trust him going forward. We were in contact on a very regular basis; we never had to wait for a response, be it via email or phone and were given updates daily, sometimes more than once a day. 

We, as the client shifted the goalposts slightly at times, for which Steve was very accommodating throughout. When we suggested something that would exceed our budget, it was always explained clearly and concisely why this would be the case and what alternatives we could instead consider. We have complete confidence in the website design they delivered and its ability to inform visitors about the charity, and ultimately convert visits to donations.

What was your primary form of communication with Fat Cow Media?

Email or Messaging App

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

From the offset, Steve took time to listen and thoroughly understand our desired outcome, which I believe sets FatCow Media apart from other designers and ultimately delivers sensitive, bespoke and appropriate design.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Fat Cow Media could have done differently?

No.
