Ad Victorem

What was the scope of their involvement?

Since we were headquartered across the country from each other, our initial meetings—where I introduced the business, what we do, and our project goals—were over the phone. After those first few discussions, they took over creating a completely new website for us. It was a full frontend design and backend development effort based solely on our company and our needs. There was nothing cookie cutter about it.

For the rebranding aspects of the project, they designed and created a new logo, new business cards, and new marketing material.

What is the team composition?

I worked directly with Anthony (Principal and Creative Director, Ad Victorem). He works with a team from Ad Victorem but I didn’t interact with them.

How did you come to work with Ad Victorem?

I was referred to them by a similar firm I had previously worked with in California.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project began in April 2017 and was completed in July 2017.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We leveraged multiple partners’ expertise, including Ad Victorem. We collaborated with the creative director and principal on the final webinar designs. He also designed a graphic for an article and project management and product marketing. We’ve worked under various arrangements, often on a project-by-project basis.

What is the team composition?

I worked directly with the creative director.

How did you come to work with Ad Victorem?

One of their past colleagues referred them. Her praise persuaded me.

What is the status of this engagement?

Work started in July 2016 and is ongoing.

What was the scope of their involvement?

For every project we do, we bring together specific experts and partners. For the specific project we are working on now, our client is a large educational institute that has never done any proper marketing. Because it is a large bureaucratic organization, it is light years behind where it should be in terms of understanding strategy messaging, but particularly it’s digital project. We needed Ad Victorem’s experience in that area.

We tend to work in a very collaborative way with our teams. We create the kickoff, our strategy, and organize the projects. Ad Victorem helped us define the strategy, the digital roadmap, and the visual elements of the brand, then executed the creatives.

What is the team composition?

Anthony (Creative Director, Ad Victorem) is my main point of contact, and he has a project manager who coordinates everything. He also partners with a developer.

How did you come to work with Ad Victorem?

I had worked with Anthony before when I was creative director of an agency. I was really impressed by him. He’s a pleasure to have around and is really responsive. I often find partners don’t have a strategic mindset, but Anthony and his team most definitely do.

How much have you invested in them?

We spent slightly over $10,000 on this project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with them on this project in January 2018 and the work is ongoing.

What was the scope of their involvement?

He helped a create a flyer that I needed and updated and designed the landing webpage. They made the marketing material match the website and updated how the website worked. They would have liked to build the website from the ground up and not have to deal with how I built it, but I didn’t have the money to start from scratch, so it was great that they were able to work with what I had.

They helped me set up the website, so customers can select the quantity and day and time they want their delivery and that is integrated into Shopify, which notifies us that we received an order. They also helped me set up a drip email that goes out once a customer purchases something.

I also had a new project for a company I started called Press Pops, which is the juice made into popsicles. They helped me come up with the packaging and the look of that brand as well. They’re in control from the ground up with the website for this company.

Every time something comes up, I go back to them with my new idea and my new marketing plan. I just opened a new flagship store, which opened up some other ideas that I want to bring to life. It’s an ongoing relationship now.

What is the team composition?

I work directly with Anthony (Founder, Ad Victorem). He talks to the web designer who does all the backend work. Anthony is usually my main contact, but if it’s a website tweak, I can go directly to the web designer and he gets right onto it.

How did you come to work with Ad Victorem?

I looked at a couple of companies, and Anthony was a referral through a mutual friend. We matched up well and I decided to go with Anthony.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $25,000–$50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in July 2015 and the work is ongoing.
