Views and Engagement

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

Yes - they were good from a project management standpoint, even going above and beyond at times. It was Lucy (or Lucinda) for Paddy Power and Zoe for Samsung. Zoe also for hptyels.com.

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

Can do attitude - dealing with curveballs and making stuff happen, whilst being protective enough of the end product to make sure clients/us don't water down too much

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

Honestly, just cost. You're not cheap for PR, and we'd be working with you a lot more if you were a tad more affordable.

What was the size of Studio Yes’s team?

2-5 Employees

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We had a 20s TVC to deliver and a 45s online film to deliver. This was a first of it's kind progressive creative idea that the client was willing to progress with. We commissioned Studio Yes and Dan French. Dan was chosen for his visual style, and the way he accurately brought the creative strategy to life in his treatment during the bidding. There were intimate scenes in the film, and we therefore needed to have the confidence in our production partner to approach this in the appropriate way.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

• Delivered on time, in an extremely tight timeframe.
• Delighted creative team

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

They were very available and reactive throughout the entire project and helped us navigate a few twists and turns along the way, always with a smile and positive energy. We turned a TVC around in record timing, hitting the delivery date with an exceptional film. It was no small feat.

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

They fully felt like an extension of our production team, on the same page as us throughout the whole process. A strong cultural fit for us.

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

The casting process didn't go as smoothly as we would have hoped with more back and forths than anticipated.It felt like there was a misalignment at the start between the creatives and directors vision. But we eventually got there. A bit more alignment overall between the director and agency creatives would have made things a little easier.

Attitude, quality of work, collaboration and generally making the whole job as fun as it could be. They were faultless and took the idea to the next level - which is everything I hoped they'd do.

None that spring to mind. Oh, hang on, the vegan sausage sandwich they provided for breakfast wasn't piping hot and dare i say it, a tad soggy...but I was 30 mins late, so it was my fault really
