Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the marketing manager and co-owner of Giani’s Ice Cream & Shakes.

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

We were looking for someone to help us rebrand.

What was the scope of their involvement?

They did our whole rebranding for us. They also took care of our logo design, manual, all of the stationery for the brand, website design, and all the materials we use in-store such as packaging, pictures, advertisements, and other things. Our online ordering system was also done by them.

Our logo was the main turning point for us and it was more of an old style. They were able to incorporate our legendary product into the logo. It is quite creative and a very international standard logo. We have a legacy that is 64 years old and they created a whole history wall which we keep in the store.

What is the team composition?

We dealt directly with Aashirwad (Director). He has a team of five or six people working behind the scenes. 

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

We got in touch with a few people. Aashirwad shared some ideas with us as to what could be done regarding the brand. We chose to go with them because of the way he got what our brand was about. He studied our brand and the presentation he gave us really clicked with us.

How much have you invested in them?

We spent around $32,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

It was around December 2015, and it took us around five or six months to get the whole thing done. We finished the work in June 2016.

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

To be honest, they are brilliant, and the team is perfect. Aashirwad gets things done immediately. The way they present the work is great. We have been totally happy with them.

We wanted to expand at that time, and we weren’t getting many franchisee options. When we rebranded, it got us a lot of new franchisees. Before we changed the branding, we had 60 stores. Since the rebrand, we now have over 100 stores. It is easier to sell the business now. Because of the design and brand logo, the customer experience has totally changed, and it is way better now.

We sell tubs of ice cream in stores as well and we have been able to sell a lot now because of the beautiful packaging. 

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

We first started with the logo and then moved onto the packaging and other things. They then worked on the history wall and the rest of the store interior, as well as the branding for our stores. The website and online ordering went hand in hand. They did most of the work before the deadline. We don’t have any complaints in that regard.

Communication was good. We were in contact regularly. I deal with the marketing and I take care of every little thing so we were in touch quite a lot during the whole process through email and phone.   

What did you find most impressive about them?

The quality of their work is impressive. Aashirwad really works a lot with the designs and puts a lot of action into all of these things. He thinks a lot about it and creates a few options.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Not really because they are quite good at what they do. We’re totally satisfied with what they had done. We have been very successful with what we have done since the rebranding so it has been a plus for us.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Give them the know-how of the brand as well as other things related to the brand so they can get the best out of it. They will do the whole rebranding process really nicely for you.
