Increased time on website, view count where video was hosted

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

Not only did the F&C team exceed our expectations from a creative standpoint the project was also delivered on time (with timely progress reports throughout the project) and within the scoped budget, a rarity when it comes to heavily animated outputs. We have seen an increased time on page that matches that of the video length, approx 30% increase, a result that we couldn’t be happier with as we know our audience is seeing and hearing our core offering rather than skimming through the website.
