Our business wanted to be closer to the end customer, not just the restaurants and cafes we provide solutions for. Thus, we wanted our brand to be more in line with the interests of the end customer.

We have compared several companies from several countries but struggled to find the quality/price sweet spot. Outcrowd came and solved that problem.

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

First, we did a virtual meeting to make sure we are aligned on what we want, and for Outcrowd to know about our company and its needs. The result of that meeting was the plan to do designs for the project as follows:

• Logo design
• Brand book
• Business cards
• Cap
• Shirt
• Paper Cup
• Canvas Bag
• Email Templates
• Instagram
• Twitter
• Youtube

As a result of working with Outcrowd, we now feel we have a brand that screams quality and thoughtfulness. They implemented what we had in mind with great care and attention to detail.

We had a meeting with the project manager at first to review the steps to come. We picked it up from there on Slack such that they shared their progress consistently on a regularly updated Figma project, asked for our review, and moving to the next step once approved. We provided our comment on the Figma project, and they responded accordingly.

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

The company's work is all about quality. I feel now that we have full-fledged brand that we can use forever without thinking twice. We also never felt disconnected from the project due to the great follow-up by their team.

I wish the business development manager also joined Slack to make some stuff regarding payment easier.
