What was the scope of their involvement?

I initially let The 95 Agency know what I was looking for, and they sent me a survey with questions about our business, including what it stood for, what our goals were, and what I wanted it to look like. 

The team took that information and provided examples from which I picked one. They delivered the logo and color palettes. Moreover, they worked on marketing designs for our social media platforms, making our contact information visible to our clients. Their resources also helped me set up my business emails, email templates, and Google Maps account.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

I had better engagements with my clientele. As we reached out to new clients, we had better designs and a cleaner look. Overall, The 95 Agency did an amazing job. 

How did The 95 Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

The 95 Agency’s project management skills were great. They delivered everything on time, and their communication was effective and constant. Their resources always answered my questions and addressed my concerns. They fixed issues and provided plenty of options for us. Nothing was rushed, and everything was professional. 

Moreover, their turnaround time was better than expected. This had to do with them delivering what I asked for based on what I gave them. They were also willing to work on the things that I wanted to change — their resources were willing to explain things I didn’t understand with proper verbiage. Somebody was always available for me to talk to; they were highly responsive. In terms of tools, they used Teamwork and a communication portal. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

The 95 Agency was truly informative. They knew much about what we needed, so we could easily trust what they were saying. I had no guidelines on how this was supposed to work, but whenever I told them what I wanted in plain English, they’d produce incredible things on the business side. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there weren’t any. Their services were 100% satisfactory.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Even if you don’t have a full plan or project vision, continue to work with The 95 Agency. They can help you complete your vision — they offer great guidance. For context, I came to them with not much of anything, and I still got the product I needed.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire The 95 Agency, and what were your goals?

We hired The 95 Agency to create our logo and overall branding identity. We are a new media company, so it was important that we create our overall identity first before we roll out. Our main focus was for the 95 agency to create a branding format that would business could follow.

SOLUTION

How did you select The 95 Agency?

I follow the owner on social media. I saw alot of the company's work and i loved their vision and work ethic.

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

I spoke to the owner initially and told him what I was looking for. After paying my invoice, I was sent a logo q/a that asked me questions about my ideas and my vision for the logo. I answered questions on typography, color palette and similar brands I liked and disliked.

Once that was completed, The 95 agency started sketching logo marks by hand. I would receive the sketches via the project management platform. After two rounds, I decided on two but I wanted the merged to be one. A little bit of cursive with nice print is what I remember saying.

They sent me another sketch and that was it. They then moved into the full designing of my logo. They added the desired colors I wanted. After that was completed, they started on the mockups for my brand. They provided my brand on shirt, tv and hat mockups. They even provided me with social media mockups.

Overall I love my logo and branding identity deck. It will help those that work with us keep our brand in tact as we grow

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

The 95 Agency used a project management platform for the entire project. I was able to stay up to date with my project through the portal. I would also send texts to the company's work line.

The expertise of the company is what I found to be the most impressive. I was able to have other conversations about business management, website design and even working capital options.

The site is very informative, allowing users to look up information on our program through an aesthetic flow.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I like their communication the most. They’re always making sure that we’re aware of changes, goings on, and updates on the pitch deck. Their hands-on approach works very well; I’m very satisfied.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything off-hand, other than they could give us a couple of phone calls. I’m old-school, and I don’t mind hearing someone’s voice from time to time.
