What was your primary form of communication with River + Wolf?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

The practice of including the names in real-life scenarios to understand how it would sound. Additionally, I found the people who worked on the different names quite knowledgeable.

Are there any areas for improvement or something River + Wolf could have done differently?

For improvement, I do think some of the meetings should have been more straight to the point, keeping in mind the time that we had. Because a lot of the time that we have spent on this was not used properly. I do understand the need to explain because names often tend to be richer than perhaps they look like and creating a conversation is important. But the directness was something that had been missing.
