Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m running a multispecialty hospital called “Pramila Hospital & IVF Center.” We offer advanced laparoscopic services. I’m a gynecologist, laparoscopic surgeon, and fertility specialist, and I’m the hospital's founder.

What challenge were you trying to address with Aarts Creative Consultancy Pvt Ltd?

We wanted help with branding for the hospital. We needed a logo that would stay in people’s memories and positively impact our marketing.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Aarts Creative Consultancy provided branding, naming, and logo design services. They designed all our stationery and online materials, and they consulted us on formatting, print sizes, and so on. We gave them content.

They proposed a green and pink color scheme. I didn’t like it at first, but they explained that green expressed hospitality, while pink is associated with fertility, which is my field.

What is the team composition?

I was in contact with five people, including Aashirwad (Chief Creative Officer) and a coordinator.

How did you come to work with Aarts Creative Consultancy Pvt Ltd?

We read some good reviews about them. We got quotes from multiple companies for the project.

How much have you invested with them?

I didn’t handle the financial part.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in March 2020. We launched the hospital in September 2020, and the design was completed in August of that year.

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

They’re very prompt, and their creations are unique. They do research and come up with their own ideas instead of copying designs from the web. I think that the designs Aarts Creative Consultancy gave me are the best in the market.

They gave us suggestions, but they didn’t impose their point of view, and they always listened to us. I could always choose something I was happy with from the options they gave me.

How did Aarts Creative Consultancy Pvt Ltd perform from a project management standpoint?

I worked with their coordinator, and I shared ideas with the team through a WhatsApp group. Because of the lockdown, most of our meetings were through WhatsApp and phone calls, and designs were shared online only. Aarts Creative was prompt in giving us inputs. The coordinator was assigned to our project only, and she served as a link between the rest of the team and us.

They would sometimes need to push us to deliver some materials, but they were never late themselves.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We worked together during the COVID-19 pandemic, so I can’t blame them for this, but we had no in-person meetings aside from the first one, from before we assigned them the project.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It will help if you have a clear idea of what you want. In our case, there was a lot of time wasted coming up with the initial ideas.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am co-founder and director at HiFyve - startup to introduce the concept and deliver activity based experiences for targeted audiences in India market. I am responsible for making financial and operational decisions.

For what projects/services did your company hire Aarts Creative Consultancy Pvt Ltd?

We are a startup and needed services of a design and development company to provide Brand consulting, Social Media design and web elements to launch our brand in India market.

What were your goals for this project?

One of the primary goals of the project was to create Brand strategy and design elements (Logo, Landing page and Social media posts) aligned to the brand.

Subsequent goal was to introduce our brand to the market and create awareness about the concept and services to be delivered.

How did you select Aarts Creative Consultancy Pvt Ltd?

We searched for different service providers and created a shortlist of 3 vendors after discussion with each one of them and reviewing their work. We asked for proposal from all 3 companies and decided to go ahead with Aarts primarily for

1. their engagement process to understand our requirements and objectives
2. detailed explanation of services, processes, references and
3. flexibility in customising the proposal and process to our requirement

Describe the project in detail.

As agreed during the proposal phase, we had series of meetings focused on understanding and discussing our concept, business objectices, target market etc. Aarts had well defined template to capture all the inputs.

Susbequent to discovery phase, Aarts delivered logo prototypes and we had brand name sessions in parallel. Once logo design and brand name was finalised, we discussed and finalised landing page which was designed and delivered in collaboration model.

Aarts was responsible for all content generation while we provided regular inputs and feedback on the content.

What was the team composition?

We had a Project Manager and designer assigned from Aarts during the discovery and Brand creationg phase.

Subsequently, for each activity we were in direct contact with the person responsible for design and delivery. Aarts chief creative officer was involved and accessible through the project.

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

• we got positive feedback on the logo and landing page design from our immediate network and potential clients
• we still have to measure the success in terms of conversions as we are running the campaigns
• overall engagement was as expected and as set out during proposal and discovery phase with gaps fixed quickly and collaboratively.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We were in direct contact with the persion responsbile for particular design element which avoided any delays or gaps in communication. There were regular meetings/discussion over zoom/whatsapp/mails to ensure there are no gaps.

Aarts used templates to capture inputs and requirements which helped us in articulating our ideas, objectives and requirements

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Throughout the project, Aarts demonstrated their knowledge and experience of working with a startup brand. Their team was patient to explain us the technical components.

However the biggest positive was the flexibility shown by Aarts. Not even once we had to go to the contract on what was agreed vs what is being asked/delivered.

Another reason why we would engage with them again was the accessibility of their key contact throughout the project -this was most helpful.

Are there any areas for improvement?

we are overall satisfied with their work. During the proces, we did feel some things could be different (for example - involving us at all stages of design process) but the end result demostrated their experience and benefits of approach taken.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and owner of the business. We produce and sell ice cream through one production site, 10 ice cream shops, and one franchised shop.

What challenge were you trying to address with Aarts Creative Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.?

In 2019, we were going through a rebranding process. We had an established brand, but it didn’t have a very good visual and reputation yield.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We hired their team to redesign our brand identity from scratch, commencing with the logo. We’ve designed branding for our cars, ice cream shops, employee clothing, vouchers, menus, and everything else related to the business.

What is the team composition?

Ash (CCO) was my single point of contact, who had a team behind him. They have a step-by-step process, and every part of the work went through different people.

How did you come to work with Aarts Creative Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.?

After searching Google, I reached out to several companies for presentations.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $11,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with their team in April or May 2019, and we finished up in August or September of that year.

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

I’m pretty impressed with how they’ve delivered. The first draft was outstanding. There was no question that they put a lot of thought into designing it. It just made sense, and it clicked with us straight away.

Aarts Creative Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. has done a lot of good for us. Our company is recognized in the market, and we get calls from people wanting to buy into our franchise opportunity. We have everything in place now, but we’ll reach out to them if we have a new idea in the future.

It’s hard to put a metric on a creative, but their team reached the results we expected. Our brand name is more recognizable to both end clients and wholesale ones. We also feel better about our brand now. It’s eye-catching and enables us to grow. From this perspective, it was a very successful project.

How did Aarts Creative Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. perform from a project management standpoint?

I always got timely responses from Ash, and he was upfront about the process and what needed to be done. He walked me through gathering ideas and materials. They stuck to the timeline they gave us, and we never had to chase them.

Google Hangouts was our preferred communication channel, and they were quite responsive. We also used email. I’m not sure how they operate internally. They may use Basecamp or a similar system.

The communication and project management were smooth, and I have no complaints. It was obvious that they had complete experience with the process. Even though we’re in Poland and they’re in India, it didn’t feel like they were so far away. We could reach out to them like they were locals.

What did you find most impressive about them?

It’s their creativity. Every company that offers rebranding should have the ability to offer something unique that will differentiate the client from other businesses. Aarts Creative Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. was able to do it.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Their prices could be less expensive, but they did deliver what we asked for on time and within budget. Nothing else really comes to my mind in terms of improvements. We felt that we were in control of the project.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

They were really creative and gave me good design ideas for my brand. They understood me, my feelings, and what I really needed for my brand.

I’m the owner of a public speaking training organization. I teach public speaking.

What challenge were you trying to address with Aarts Creative Consultancy Pvt Ltd?

When I started my company, my biggest challenge was establishing my brand identity. On every third street in my city, there’s a public speaking trainer. It was difficult to create a distinction between them and me.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Aarts helped me pick a name because I couldn’t decide between several. We had a question and answer round with the company founder. He helped me choose a keyword in my name that directly speaks to my audience. They knew this would help draw in my audience. Their team created my logo and designed my business stationery.

What is the team composition?

I was in touch with the founder. I’m not sure how many people were behind the scenes.

They did a good job. I love their work, and it has helped me out. The pulling of the audience was a bit on the larger size once the branding had been done. People love the logo; it’s simple and creative as well as very effective.

They told me to get in touch if I needed any help in the future in terms of transforming or modifying the logo or anything in the backend. Until now, I’ve not found the need.

How did Aarts Creative Consultancy Pvt Ltd perform from a project management standpoint?

When it comes to getting in touch with our main contact, I give them 5 out of 5. They were always in touch with me and there to help me out with any confusion or doubt I had.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

You should see what kind of questions they ask and to what level they dig deep. Their team will pull out a story before even going forward and designing your logo. Start out by trying to get an understanding of how they work.

Aarts starts with understanding your expectations and then digs deep by asking a lot of questions to understand what you really want out of them. I believe that’s why they came up with a good logo.
