We worked with ANML at Marvell on a retained engagement supporting our enterprise website and digital brand system. The work spanned both fast-turn web and campaign needs and larger initiatives that required deeper UX and creative direction. 

ANML helped evolve our digital language with a bold, modern look and feel, and they were able to support front-end implementation when needed so the work could actually ship. They also provided tools and best practices for applying the Marvell brand across digital touchpoints, which helped keep the experience consistent and differentiated across multiple audiences. 

What stood out was reliability and momentum. Communication was clear, requests were handled quickly, and the quality stayed high across everything from production work to bigger web/UX projects. I’d work with ANML again for any enterprise team that needs hands-on website design, UX strategy, and digital brand support without a lot of overhead.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from May–July 2020.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The most measurable outcome was the speed to approval and stakeholder alignment. ANML, INC.'s first-round concepts were approved without major revisions by both Brand Vessel and Netflix, which significantly shortened the creative timeline and allowed the project to move into production ahead of schedule. Their work elevated the perceived quality of the brand experience, strengthened our position as a trusted partner to Netflix, and directly contributed to a successful launch of the new aviation division with zero creative rework. From our side, it reduced internal back-and-forth, saved time and cost, and helped us deliver a higher-value solution to our client.Working with ANML, INC. reduced our creative timeline by approximately 30–40%. What is typically a 4–6 week concepting and revision cycle was completed in under three weeks, with first-round approval from all primary Netflix stakeholders. Because the initial concepts landed so well, we avoided multiple revision rounds, which translated into an estimated 20–25% savings in creative and internal project management costs. From an approval standpoint, we had unanimous sign-off from Brand Vessel leadership and Netflix on the first presentation — something that's extremely rare for a brand of that scale and scrutiny.The success of this project strengthened our relationship with Netflix and reinforced Brand Vessel's position as a trusted strategic partner, not just a fulfillment vendor. As a direct result, we were invited into earlier-stage conversations on subsequent initiatives and additional departments, including follow-on branding and merchandising discussions tied to the aviation group. Internally, it also increased client confidence in our creative partners, making it easier to greenlight ANML, INC. for future projects and opening the door to larger-scope, higher-value opportunities.

How did ANML, INC. perform from a project management standpoint?

ANML, INC.'s project management was organized, proactive, and easy to work with. Timelines were clearly defined upfront, communication was consistent, and there were no surprises along the way. They delivered every milestone on time — and in some cases ahead of schedule — while still leaving room for thoughtful collaboration. It made the entire process feel efficient and well-run, especially on a project with high visibility and tight expectations.Our primary forms of communication were virtual meetings and emails or messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

ANML, INC.'s creativity was impressive. They didn't just execute against a brief — they interpreted it, challenged it, and elevated it. They consistently brought ideas to the table that felt original, thoughtful, and on-brand, often anticipating needs we hadn't fully articulated yet. That level of creative instinct was rare and truly set them apart.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there weren't any. The project ran smoothly from start to finish, and ANML, INC. delivered exactly what we needed — on time, on brief, and at a very high creative standard. We wouldn't change anything about how they approached or executed the work.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Brunswick engaged ANML to help bring to life the marine industry’s equivalent of Apple CarPlay. Working as an integrated member of our team, they helped envision and design a mobile application that makes complex vessel systems feel seamless and intuitive for boat owners. This is a particularly challenging problem because boats are often manufactured to individual buyer specifications, resulting in wide variation in onboard components and system configurations. The effort was further complicated by the requirement that the application support multiple brand-specific design systems across Brunswick’s portfolio, while still maintaining a coherent and scalable user experience.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

• Delivered and launched the CZone mobile app across 6 or more Brunswick brands, including premium marques such as Chris-Craft
• Established a scalable, modular design system capable of supporting highly variable vessel configurations
• Enabled consistent cross-brand UX while preserving brand-specific visual language and positioning
• Reduced design and implementation friction through a shared component library and interaction patterns
• Supported an accelerated, multi-brand rollout aligned with business and product timelines

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

ANML’s project management was excellent throughout the engagement. They aligned closely with our goals and priorities, and were proactive about adjusting resourcing as needs evolved, including bringing in additional team members when required. The quality of those hires was consistently strong.

They participated in regular working sessions and were always available for ad hoc meetings when new questions or constraints emerged. Our team never felt blocked or waiting on them. They were responsive, organized, and highly collaborative in how they worked with both design and product stakeholders.

They consistently delivered on time and, in several cases, exceeded expectations. The level of preparation, craft, and follow through not only met our requirements but genuinely delighted both our internal team and senior stakeholders.

What was your primary form of communication with ANML, INC?

Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What stood out most was the combination of high creative talent and rigorous attention to detail. They were able to think strategically at the system level while still delivering highly refined, thoughtful design execution.

Are there any areas for improvement or something ANML, INC could have done differently?

There were no meaningful areas for improvement in our experience. In fact, the collaboration was so successful that, over time, our internal team matured and expanded to the point where we required less external support. That evolution was due in part to the strong foundation, standards, and practices established during our work together with ANML.
