Tribox Design

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the chief of clinic at Gestalt Wellness Institute. We offer quality mental health services tailored for both businesses and individuals.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tribox Design?

We needed help with branding and web design.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Tribox Design has worked on multiple projects with us. They’ve provided us with brand design, templates, and overall branding guidelines. The team has also facilitated our registration for the intellectual property of our logo and designed our website and online EHR system. Our main deliverable has been branding. We already had a logo, but we’ve redesigned it with Tribox Design after 10 years. The team has also translated the brand design and guidelines to our website, offices, and entire identity. Tribox Design has provided digital assets and documentation.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with 2–5 teammates from Tribox Design.

How did you come to work with Tribox Design?

We found them through an online search and a referral. We chose them over other options because they were close to my geographic location, had a great culture fit, and were referred to me.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in May 2022, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have project meetings for every milestone, onboarding, and discussion every time we reach a project objective. Our metrics are often website and brand recognition. We've seen a 70% increase in website traffic and brand recognition.

How did Tribox Design perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicate via in-person meetings, virtual meetings, and email or messaging apps. There have been some delays, but the work has been worth it.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Tribox Design puts significance on the client’s opinion and transforms that vision into design and tangible objectives while being realistic.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I would suggest that Tribox Design provide a better timeline and communication whenever there are challenges that require client input.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of a small jewelry business.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tribox Design?

I needed help with marketing and how to brand my company as an online business.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Tribox Design helped me with brand identity and how to portray my business. I provided them with the name, a mood board I wanted them to follow, and my business plan, including my mission and vision statement, strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities. The team worked around that information.

They defined a color scheme and designed the logo, giving me many JPEG files of it. The team designed our business cards and packaging. Tribox Design also provided us with mock-ups for marketing material and to preview what our Instagram feed could look like. 

What is the team composition?

I worked with two people from Tribox Design; a designer and a brand strategist. 

How did you come to work with Tribox Design?

I found them online, and since they had a nice website, I sent them an inquiry.

How much have you invested with them?

I spent about 50,000 Philippine pesos (approximately $900 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from The project lasted from January–March 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Tribox Design was good and very professional. I’m very satisfied with their branding work; they provided me with what I wanted. I haven’t launched the brand, so there aren’t any metrics yet.

How did Tribox Design perform from a project management standpoint?

They were good at meeting deadlines. They gave me the timeline and meeting dates when the engagement started, and they met everything unless I asked for additional work. If they needed an extension, they would notify me. We communicated through Fiverr. The only issue with communication was that all the meetings had to be done online, and I’m not a fan of virtual meetings. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I appreciate that Tribox Design was a small team and very hands-on, making it easy to communicate with them faster. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, they were good, and they got the job done. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I would suggest you let them know if you have an idea. I didn’t give the team enough insight. Tribox Design provided us with many options, so I’d also advise you to ask for diversity in choices.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the co-owner of a start-up food manufacturing business. Our goal is simple - bring the taste of home. We are determined to be the only food producer in the country that accords eating experience to another layer of purpose.

The mode of our work is to provide modern Filipinos who want to incorporate culture through food. We believe that people are happier when they feel at home.

Our brand resonates celebration of the rich and diverse food cuisine of the islands of the Philippines. And we believe that we can bridge the gap between tradition and innovation through food. As we do this, we are committed to be brand-sensitive to relevant issues such as awareness on sustainability and pushing efforts to have an impact towards the environment.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Tribox Design, and what were your goals?

We have promising goals for the brand, but we were overwhelmed with the ideas that we did not know how to start and where to look. While working the brand identity with Tribox Design, they made sure that our goals are met and suggestions are heard. Recently, we commissioned them to trademark the official brand name and logo.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Initially, we were looking for freelancers for this work; fortunately, we were able to find their portfolio online and their team was prompt in responding to our inquiries. Admittedly, there was one specific project they worked on previously that made us say YES!

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

After we exchanged emails, we had our first meeting through Google Meet. This meeting included the presentation of what their brand can offer for businesses, specifically, MSMEs; our brand's current problems and goals, and their recommendations, to see if there is a fit between us.

Following that, we signed a 3 month work contract with the team and they supplemented us with a timeline which was followed until final deliverables. They were flexible with our suggestions and considered all the changes we required from their outputs. Over all, the quality of their work met our expectations and we believe that they truly uphold their name and what they claimed. Whatever we have envisioned, they put this into work.

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

We consolidated ideas closely with Inu, Tribox' CEO. He was prompt in answering emails and inquiries, and was polite with our requests for revisions. We also have encounters with Regine, the vice to the CEO. She was active in our meetings and had her fair share of thoughts and suggestions to make our brand better

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

As a start-up, we currently lack the proper metrics to demonstrate the progress nor success of this project; in addition, our operations have not take place as of the moment. But to answer, we asked for organic opinions from our families/friends, and they too, were delighted with the final output

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

We made 4 virtual meetings until the final deliverables were sent and the rest were done through email in the expected timeline. Their project management style was done thoroughly, one step at a time, and made sure that it is mostly our character and vision that reflects the core of the brand's identity

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

Aside from their exceptional creativity, mostly, it is because they do not discriminate, considering we are a start-up business. In our defense, we have tried to reach out to certain other companies but failed to get even a respond from an inquiry. Definitely, we can attest to their commitment in helping MSMEs in establishing their brands' identity

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

As of the moment, we have no recommendations regarding this matter

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We kept a tight timeline (only 3 weeks) since we needed to launch the concept urgently at that time to pivot from the covid slump. Inu from Tribox enthusiastically agreed to this, even if it was a stretch from his usual 3-month timeline for similar projects.

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

Despite being a one-man team, Inu engaged with us professionally and ensured the deliverables were on time and of high quality.

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

The designs Tribox Design imagined aptly captured what we envisioned for the brand, despite the tight budget and timelines. The brand discovery process helped a lot to bring this out. Inu also did not mind that we used design pegs from well-known brands to better illustrate our point.

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

Nothing, really. We believe we got the best value for our budget.
