The Weather

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the owner of a luxury travel and events agency. We plan all travel logistics and experiences for leisure and corporate travelers.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire The Weather?

I had an outdated and non-functional website prior to The Weather. I hired them to redesign my website to make it more user-friendly, provide more content on what we do, and improve the SEO.

What were your goals for this project?

My goals are listed above: -Improve the quality and professionalism of the website

• Add better content to more accurately and descriptively describe what we do
• Improve functioning of the website on mobile devices
• Enhance SEO feature

SOLUTION

How did you select The Weather?

I interviewed The Weather over the phone - discussing in depth their company, capabilities, and if they can bring my vision to life.

Describe the project in detail.

The communication with The Weather was exceptional. It began with a call to discuss the overall project goals, vision, and logistics. We broke it down into a few phases:

1. New content
2. Brand new UI/UX
3. Improve mobile capabilities

What was the team composition?

I worked directly with Dominik and Chris who are senior members at The Weather.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Everything about the project was successful. Not only did The Weather create one exceptional website for my company, but two in order to compare different aesthetics.

The website is now not just beautiful and easy to navigate, but all the content I could have asked for is written in a clean, concise way. The technology works efficiently on mobile devices, and the overall user experience was exactly how I envisioned for my clients.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Exceptional. The communication at the Weather was beyond fantastic. They respond immediately to any questions/concerns, are willing to try multiple iterations in order to produce the best results, and provided excellent suggestions and guidance throughout the entire project.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Everything about The Weather impressed me.

First, their communication was exceptional. Every email, phone call, question, or concern was always answered quickly and with detail. They took time to really research my company and industry, and we're always ahead of schedule for deliverables.

Second, their actual service is amazing. The Weather is made up of some of the smartest and most hardworking individuals I have had the pleasure of working with.

I was looking for a highly creative/edgy website that also delivered concise content and worked well on both the web and mobile devices (a task I thought may be impossible to achieve) - and yet they surpassed my expectations every step of the way.

They were able to create a stunning website that is highly functional and aligns identically with my vision.

Third, their professionalism. The Weather provided exceptional guidance and insight every step of the way. They always asked in-depth questions about my company, customers, and business environment to ensure that the content and overall aesthetic of the website was on brand.

If I wanted something changed or altered, they would be at it within hours - offering screenshots and comparisons as well throughout.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Zero. I truly cannot recommend this company enough.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

The Down Under is one of Prague’s largest gastro pubs, located behind the National Museum.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire The Weather?

We opened our venue in 2019 and first hired The Weather to design everything from logo to signage and the website. Subsequently they ran our digital marketing and helped us with online event promotion.

What were your goals for this project?

To create a brand identity for an Aussie-themed gastro pub and get the word out to the city’s sports fans and parents.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I’ve worked with one of the founders in the past.

Describe the project in detail.

They asked us some questions about our business and what direction we wanted to go in in terms of branding and we showed them examples for websites we liked. Going from there, they quickly put together a logo and website. This process was very straightforward. They also helped us set up our social media pages and Google listings. From then on our cooperation has been ongoing as branding, signage and website are periodically adapted and updated. Early on we had to rebrand because of a naming conflict and they reacted very quickly.

What was the team composition?

We had a single point of contact in Prague.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Together, our social media accounts and website generate a large number of reservations. Patrons repeatedly commended our website and sometimes asked to pass on our contact

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The whole premise of The Weather is to keep the process straightforward to keep hours down and costs affordable for small businesses. Still they would react quickly and there is always room for face to face meetings (which they don’t bill).

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They are a small studio, but they are true allrounders. They cover everything from graphic design to copy writing, web development, social media and digital marketing. This is extremely helpful, especially for small companies

Are there any areas for improvement?

None come to mind.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We are a company specialized on multi-day team building and incentive trips for international companies to Prague and, increasingly, other destinations in the Czech Republic.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire The Weather?

Starting from scratch, The Weather found our name, gave us our logo and brand identity and developed our website including copy writing and some photography. They implemented conversion tracking and developed and run our digital advertising strategy.

What were your goals for this project?

The goal was to create a brand identity and website that clearly projects an image of professionalism, reliability and competence and, so, stands out among competitors. This had to be tied in with a digital marketing strategy that generates conversions. This has happened immediately after launch.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We have a long-standing relationship with the guys from The Weather having worked together on a number of projects in the past.

Describe the project in detail.

Together, looking at existing brand identities and websites we discussed what direction we wanted to go in, identified elements we liked. The Weather put together a mood board and brand book we quickly signed off. Based on this they produced drafts for front page, typography and our logo which we signed off again.

We then worked together closely, often in the same room, to work out how to best explain and present what we offer and what sets our company apart from others. In weekly meetings we discuss adaptations to the content presentation. Once a month we receive sleek reports and insightful analysis on the performance of our digital marketing efforts as well as what actions are taking to achieve improvements.

What was the team composition?

We worked directly and very closely with their lead designers for branding and the look and feel of the website. For web- and social media content as well as translation and localisation work two other team members were pulled in.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Though we were prepared for a slow start, we began to receive inquiries from major companies immediately after launch — a direct result of the work of The Weather. We find that our branding and website simply look sleeker, more professional and appealing than those of even much bigger companies in the industry — something we credit them with giving us a crucial edge over competitors.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Working with their team has been very pleasant on a personal level and very satisfactory professionally. They are reliable and know what they do.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They treat branding, web development and digital marketing as an integrated effort; the parts form a whole and they never lose sight of the bigger picture — how each thing relates to generating leads and conversions. They brought home forcefully and to great effect their point about making things measurable.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Nothing comes top to mind

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Our company is focused on retail and e-commerce sale of designer items and apparel merchandise. I am in position of Project manager and shareholder.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire The Weather?

We first have approached The Weather to help as with design of our apparel merchandise but given their insight and understanding into our vision we wanted to achieve we quickly further expanded our cooperation into other areas as brand development and e-commerce.

What were your goals for this project?

Our primary aims were:

• Develop a brand from design perspective
• Match the product designs in accordance with the brand
• website developemnt
• full scale e-commerce integration

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We saw their previous work and felt it is very similar to what we wanted to achieve but what ultimately persuaded us was their efficiency and on point understanding and delivery of drafts for what we asked for.

Describe the project in detail.

• brand identity
• product design
• web design

What was the team composition?

We believe there were 2 people assigned to our project from the begging to its end.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We believe the very good aesthetics helped us with sales quite a bit and were essential in gaining customers.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Very good communication, mostly e-communication, we would have initially preferred bit more face to face, but there were no issues whatsoever even with primarily virtual communication.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

We primarily liked their efficiency and no-BS approach. They're very easy to talk to and to present ideas. The Weather is very flexible with feedback and respective implementation - this pragmatic approach and fine line between understanding and respecting the clients needs vs. delivering the best universal result is very refreshing.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Cant think of anything.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Founded in 2015 we started to produce handmade sailor bags and expanded our products quite quickly to a full sailor shop. We aim to make the highest quality Czech maritime fashion & supplies. We believe there’s a little sailor in everyone.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire The Weather?

Almost everything from shop based website to branding and awsome digital marketing. Adwordsm, SEO etc.

What were your goals for this project?

Definitely to overcome our first amateur approach with the idea and the shop and therefore expand the digital reach of our products

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Orginally a friend working in consulting recommended their work.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

They started with an audit on what we could improve. Our website was pretty shitty and in the end we accepted every detail they recommended. They took over google promotion with detailed reports on how our ads are running and traced every spent euro back to an actual sell on our website. And just check out how many followers we have on ie Instagram now :)

What was the team composition?

We were in contact with a project manager who handled splitting the work with the colleagues.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

Like I mentioned before. They automated our social profiles(7 in total) synched them and were shooting campaign after campaign to push us easily over 10K followers.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

It was quite lovely to have just one person for our point of contact, since it was build and done by many other people in the background.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Especially the reporting for something not very understandable for me like google ads. We always got the reports in excel sheets, where it was clear how much was spent and what was the profit of it.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Maybe since we're a bit oldschool to have a personal meeting from time to time, but everything online is I guess a bit quicker.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire The Weather?

What were your goals for this project?

To raise awareness of our company and product.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

A bit of online research led to a mutual friend who'd used them, and upon that recommendation we proceeded.

Describe the project in detail.

We started from scratch. The weather basically made us what we are. We had the idea, but no presence.

What was the team composition?

Team of three.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Within a month or so of starting we had our first successful tour to Prague. This is thanks entirely to The Weather.
