OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Juno Creative Studio, and what were your goals?

Complete rebrand and new website / copy / development

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I discovered Juno on Instagram, booked an initial call and booked based on Sam's extensive art background and mastery of visual language, vendors, price point and incredibly powerful brand design. My background is art history as well, and it was important to me that the designer be passionate about and deeply versed in symbology and visual communication, far beyond your typical brand designer. Juno embodies this and then some.

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

We began with an initial consult to determine scope and my intentions. I then provided visuals of general inspiration; we reconvened with a strategy call with the copywriter; Juno provided an initial brand proposal that was spot-on. After confirming logo, brand colors, font and finalizing copy, along with web concepts, Juno delivered a comprehensive branding package along with a complete — and completely stunning — website.

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

I worked directly with Juno's founder, along with a copywriter. Juno's founder liaised with the web developer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Growth, growth, growth! Increased social media traction, followers, newsletter subscribers, and aligned client inquiries. Not to mention the positive momentum, confidence and consistency it gives me every day as a business owner. Thanks to Juno, I now have a recognizable, powerful, unforgettable brand that stands out, attracts my dream clients and inspires me every day.

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

Juno communication is clear, concise and efficient. Timelines were met with room to spare; presentation of initial ideas, concepts and logo was beautifully done; final deliverables exceeded my expectations on if not before our deadline. Seamless!

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

So there's iNtErNeT bRaNd people, and then there's Juno. This is the company for when you DON'T want a brand reminiscent of everything else out there in their millennial pinks and editorial mockups. Juno is undeniably unique, well versed in symbolism and visual language, AND connects with their clients in deep understanding of vision, mood, messaging (unconscious and conscious) to yield a brand that's truly an extension of their business.

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

Not a thing; I'm blown away! Thank you, Sam!

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CEO of a licensed mental health therapy practice where we help millennial WOC experience true transformation through 1:1 services, resources, and engagement in our community.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Juno Creative Studio, and what were your goals?

We have been in business for over 2 years and we were in need of professional brand strategy and design (Brand Buildout service) to ensure that who we are, who we serve, and how we serve was in alignment. We outgrew the DIY branding that I established when starting the business and needed increased clarity and confidence to grow based on the short and long term goals that we have established.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We selected Juno for this project based on working with them on another branding project and being blown away by their level of expertise and professionalism. Prior to this most current project, Juno was vetted by seeing their work portfolio showcased on Instagram and then had a consultation call with the owner of Juno where all of our questions were answered and we felt confident with moving forward.

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

To kick the project off, we had an hour-long strategy session where we discussed the ins and outs of the company and how our passion to serve our community shined through with our company vision, values and service offerings.

Once they got to know all about us, they provided us with a comprehensive brand stategy that included our vision, mission, purpose, values, target audience and sample client profile, a competitor analysis, brand positioning, unique value proposition, brand promise, archetype, growth strategies, and an extensive brand voice guide.

Then they provided us with a comprehensive visual identity which included creative direction, complete logo suite, brand patterns and tagline, color palette, and type suite.

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

We worked with the CEO and Founder, their artist and marketing expert, and their copywriter.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

It's been less than a month since this project wrapped up but since then, we've gotten a total of 21 new email subscribers, 12 people joining our waitlist for therapy services, an increase of Instagram followers by approximately 200 followers, and an increase in reach on Instagram of 955% in less than a month's time.

Everyone has complimented our new branding and everything feels in alignment with the direction we're taking the company. This is just the beginning!

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

After our hour long strategy session, we were given frequent updates via email and sent the first round of the strategy for approval in about a week and half after the session. Once that was approved they then worked on the visual identity and got that round to us just as quickly. Once everything was finalized we received the final deliverables in a matter of days. Their timeliness was exceptional!

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

What's most impressive is their extensive background knowledge and expertise about how branding/design impacts how our target customer interacts with us based on it all. They don't just create something cool and pretty just for the sake of it. They used their art and marketing background to create a branding strategy that meant something beyond the visuals.

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

I don't have any areas for improvement as I was completely satisfied with their processes and the final deliverables that we received.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the lead photographer of Maggie Morris, and I provide wedding photography services.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Juno Creative Studio?

I had some inconsistencies in my branding and I felt it no longer represented the direction that my organization had taken. On top of that, I was struggling to reach my target clients with my current strategy. As a result, I reached out to Juno Creative Studio to streamline and upgrade my branding.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Juno Creative Studio’s goal was to create something that better reflected the current state of my business. They began by asking me to answer the questions they had on a Google Form. Some of their questions include what my ideal client looked like and what color I was drawn towards. They also asked me to describe my work and choose three words that best describe my brand.

After that initial process, they were responsible for developing a new type suite, color palette, and logos. Though they didn’t do a full branding package upon my request, they went above and beyond by providing branding insights and strategies. When I founded my company, I called it Shots by Mag, LLC and upon their suggestion, I changed it to Maggie Morris to make my brand name more iconic since I represent my organization.

What is the team composition?

We only worked with Sam (Founder & Creative Director).

How did you come to work with Juno Creative Studio?

I was following them on Instagram for quite some time. I happened to follow some of their clients, too. Through that, I saw some of the work that they had done for various accounts, and based on that, they seemed like a great fit for what I was looking for. I also reached out to a couple of individuals to ask their experience with Juno Creative Studio and they only had good things to say. Those conversations validated my interest in their team.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent less than $2,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked from November–December 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We had our best-performing month last month and we secured $17,500. Prior to working with Juno Creative Studio, our top-grossing month was $10,000. The team created elements such as unique fonts and fun and punchy colors, which definitely elevated our branding. We really liked their approach because they didn’t only see where the business was at present, but they considered how it was going to grow in the future.

In addition, we felt that they really believed in small businesses more than most businesses believe in themselves. As a result, they were able to create a better vision for us, which further inspired us to take the business even further.

How did Juno Creative Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

They had a very thorough process in order to get our vision. We had 2–3 rounds of revisions and every time we gave them feedback, they were able to incorporate everything we asked. We also appreciated that they were eager to get feedback from us and at the same time, they were open to providing their expert insights. We communicated our longer questions through email and we directly messaged each other for quick one-off questions.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They were interested in making their clients excel and succeed. More importantly, they were more about people versus profit and that was really priceless in a space where so many people would be just in it for themselves. Overall, we'd love to work with them again in the future.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No. We would love it if their services were free, but they shouldn‘t be free because they deserve to be compensated for the work that they do.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be as honest and thorough as possible during the initial scoping because the better the team understands, the better they can deliver.

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

To start, I filled in a very detailed questionnaire and shared any important files/inspiration to help with the design process. Then, Sam and I got on a call to talk through the direction and final details prior to seeing it all come together. After the call, Sam and her team created the logos, colors, typefonts, and templates based on the information and inspiration I had provided.

Then I was given a review of the brand presentation to provide feedback or clarify any questions, I didn't have any feedback beside switching out a font and then confirmed that I loved it. Sam shared all the brand files with me via Google Drive, and then I was able to use them immediately!
