We wanted to update our current Hispanic ERG logo to something more modern with cleaner lines without loosing the vibrancy of the flags. We sent them a photo of our current logo and explained that we didn't feel it had a story to tell about Hispanic and Latino cultures. We discussed using artisanal work of different indigenous nations as inspiration. We needed a quick turn around because we wanted to re-launch the ERG to the business. This needed to be a quick turnaround and requested the work to be completed in more than 2 weeks.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

• First draft recieved in a week.
• Changes made in 3 days

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

The project although small seemed to be a top priority to the team. Our designer Elvis was very excited to get started and really listened to our needs. The project manager CP was very personable, professional and had solutions. He knew exactly what he needed to do to make sure the new ERG logo would stay on brand with the whole company.

Everyone was very responsive. My email questions were answered within a business day. Of all the many different things that needed to get accomplished for the re-launch the new logo design was something that I felt I didn't need to worry about.

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

I was drawn to Hueman because their logo and branding projects are somehow both modern and timeless. I really appreciated the Case Studies and branding section in their website. It really helped me understand what to expect from the team and I was able to see their diversity in projects.

I also really appreciated their level of customer service. From their website it was clear that they were working on a lot of projects, but my project always felt like their main priority.

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

No areas for improvement. I had fairly small project. Even though I did not request it, the team gave me variations of the logo so that we could use it on different backgrounds.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Was referred through a mutual friend, came highly recommended as their track record shows.

Describe the scope of their work in detail, including any steps and the final deliverables.

Initially we had a base template for the workspace, with Hueman we were able to make it our own and unique in a sense of having something to offer that our competitors didn't and making our own mark on the community. The branding of Foundrspace took on a very relatable approach and understood that coming out of an unpresidented time with the pandemic and people easing back into the normalcy of work. Putting that specific touch on things and how things should operate made this transition very positive and welcoming to our members. We have simple designs that are easy to recognize and help when people research us and our brand. Its no easy task to have a website translate to the physical location and with Hueman that was seamless. Our webpage is welcoming, accessible, no hidden tricks or shady business underlines. When people think of a peaceful and productive workspace they think of us and that's exactly what we needed from Hueman and they delivered. This is only a few things our partnership has accomplished and there are many more with include marketing, events, design, just to name a few.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Was able to work with the entire team every step of the way, always readily available when called upon. The project manager was able to reassure that everything was on point and had communicated any issues that needed to be resolved. Marketing and web development was key in the beginning and continues to support with current promotions and events, customer support is always available and courteous when I have small issues or things that need more of an understanding with. Overall the team can accommodate for any task presented to them.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We hosted a few events already and all have been a success. We had people show up, while not knowing what to expect exactly and being greatly satisfied with the outcome and enjoying the visit while attending the events. We've networked through these events and have created invaluable relationships which helped our business grow.

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

Project management is key when launching a new venture, being able to call, email, message, or even text is very important and critical at times when development is happening and being able to adjust on the fly in real time is more than what is asked of.

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

Their unique sense of modern ideals and how to mirror and improve the workspace climate are impressive.

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

I wish I would have known of them sooner.
