IPONWEB - MediaGrid video Image

IPONWEB - MediaGrid video

IPONWEB launched The MediaGrid as an antidote to many disruptions in the programmatic landscape. Purpose-built for agency buyers and premium publishers operating in a new era of programmatic, The MediaGrid creates an open environment that brings buyers and sellers closer together and empowers both sides with powerful supply curation and management tools to drive greater trading efficiency, performance, and value in

…
programmatic. The problem with such innovation is often not the product itself. It is that many businesses simply don’t know or understand how they may benefit from using it, and this is where Appetite Creative Soulutions were called in to bring the product to life through visualization and innovative engagement.

Appetite Creative Soulutions created a 90 second explainer video to present both the technical capabilities and business value of The MediaGrid in a visually appealing way. The video is exciting, interesting, and straightforward; helped by harnessing attractive visuals and delivering a clear message to grab the audience’s attention quickly. Moreover, it does all of that in just a few seconds.

Xynon logo Image

Xynon logo

They needed to create a brand which would comminucate to their three audiences, Customers, Investors and Collaborators. They were looking for a branding project which would help them form a common understanding within their founders group, as well as forge an identity and the culture that espouses their objectives.

We created a logo which worked with the key pieces Xynon wanted to communicate Accuracy, Reliability,

…
Transparency, Flexibility, Deep Technology, Understanding, one of their comments “we want this brand to identify with the sight of a hypertrophic cat floating on The Tyrrhenian Sea” - So we knew we had to use blue somewhere ;) We chose a font which was both professional but also futuristic and would work at all sizes. The brand is a tech-focused one so we chose images which reflected that and also added a touch of interesting animations to bring the page to life. There is no physical product so it is something we had to gain users confidence through trust in the professionalism and design of the website itself and branding.

Pandora Liquid Desktop Skin and Mobile Interscroller Image

Pandora Liquid Desktop Skin and Mobile Interscroller

Pandora needed a unique way to engage their customers over the Christmas period. We needed to market Pandora’s products as gifts over Christmas, to both male and female audiences. Whereas the typical Facebook and Instagram feed is overwhelmed with marketing promotions, Whatsapp engagement is still very underused by brands.

We innovated by being the first global agency in the world to enable Whatsapp sharing in a banner

…
ad. As well as creating a Liquid Desktop Skin and a Mobile Interscroller individually for both female and male audiences, we built creative units which enabled us to incorporate Whatsapp into the campaign. The user could click on the Whatsapp icon and opt to share the product with a contact or send a message directly to the brand, increasing direct engagement between the brand and audience. The innovative campaign also included a Christmas countdown timer and separate creative messages for men and women.

Emmi Quiz Image

Emmi Quiz

Emmi wanted to be one of the first on the market to engage with consumers digitally, whilst also educating their key audience about the benefits of their range and their new Emmi good day milk drink.To launch the Emmi good day milk drink, we created an interactive online quiz that would educate customers on the benefits of Emmi’s products. Customers could enter the quiz by using their mobile phones to scan a unique,

…
one-time-use QR code located on the side panel of the Tetra Prisma® Aseptic 1000 Square packages of the Emmi ‘good day’ milk products. Upon scanning, customers were shown a graphic that indicated the total hours of sunshine in their current location that day.Each pack has a unique QR code, giving Emmi access to an array of information including which variety from the range was scanned and time and location of the scan, helping facilitate additional customer data collection. The one-time-use QR code helped Emmi engage with individual customers with a view to understanding them better and provide some indication of proof of purchase. The quiz itself featured a roulette style wheel which, when tapped, would allocate the user one of 50 possible questions. Once 3 questions were answered, the user had the ability to enter into a prize draw to win an Apple watch, with a winner randomly selected every two days.Our interactive quiz solution proved particularly effective for user engagement, while the data collection solution we created was integrated into the company’s cloud system.

Anyclip Website Image

Anyclip Website

The challenge was to design and build a new website with new vision. As a company that provides highly technical services, the website needed a logical and navigable structure to clearly communicate key messages. Equally, the global scope of Anyclip as a company demanded a website that would engage people across a variety of markets.

We delivered a totally refreshed site with an easy-to-use backend, meaning the new site

…
could be updated constantly. An improved organic reputation alongside SEO management meant that traffic to the Anyclip website was greatly increased.

In business terms, Anyclip saw a notable increase in the opportunities pipeline as well as a material increase the number of investor meetings they had. Anyclip now goes from strength to strength, with the new website helping to drive reputation and effect.

“Working with Appetite to create a destination and content that resonated and with the likes of LeadForensics to understand unregistered traffic more, a material difference was delivered. Ad tech has struggled with its reputation in an overcrowded and increasingly inefficient market place, one where intermediaries are immediately mistrusted. Jenny’s team overcame a lot of issues faced by the business - non-domestic mistrust, intermediary mistrust, network legacy mistrust. The industry has been burned by players who have tainted everyone and sadly it takes a lot of work to address this - the first step being to pin-point the message the shop window gives.”

Adam Hopkinson,
Managing Director of Anyclip

Unibets Mobile Game Image

Unibets Mobile Game

Evolving in a fiercely competitive global market including other big players like 888Holdings, GVC Holdings, William Hill and many others, Unibet faced the challenge of differentiating their service from the rest.

Their objectives were to increase awareness and to drive their mobile application downloads. They wanted our help in creating a marketing strategy that would allow them to attain their objectives. 

Our

…
strategy was to drive Unibet to interact more with the world of football, their largest betting audience. Therefore, we designed for them an interactive and dynamic mobile game where we put the user in the heart of the action, mimicking football gameplay.

Our interactive and dynamic mobile game ran in rich media versions for 7 different languages: English, Belgian French, Belgian Dutch, Romanian, Norwegian, Danish and Swedish. All the versions had a different API integration for the prize.

You can see the gameplay here in which the challenge is to not let the ball touch the ground.

Tetra Pak Mobile Quiz Image

Tetra Pak Mobile Quiz

In more recent times Tetra Pak has been more focused than ever on their environmental impact and its sustainability work has gained merited recognition since, with such acclaims as the Swedish Forest Industries Climate Award for assuming global responsibility for the forests which provide its raw material.
Tetra Pak wanted to inform others of this and came to us with an eco-themed idea to build a fun mobile quiz which

…
tests the user’s knowledge about recycling and Tetra Pak’s environmental impact.
We came up with a design that looked like it was made out of recycled paper, just as Tetra Pak do with their own products. We matched a colour palette and created a pastel and overall organic-style which, when mixed with our trademark animated elements and ease of use, made the entire experience fun, engaging, and effective.
The interactive quiz had two levels - an easier one which was kid-friendly and a trickier one for adults. The aim was to add more trees to the forest, and so, whenever the player would answer a question correctly, he or she would see a tree growing. If all of the questions were answered correctly, the forest would grow and the number of trees grown, in total, would represent the user’s score. Quiz demonstration: https://youtu.be/IA1ZgvrDoNs

As has come to be expected from Appetite, we didn’t only deliver design, functionality, and innovation, we also delivered results: the average length of the quiz session was 2 minutes and 49 seconds, the players raised 750 trees together and answered 19 000 questions in total.

Liquid game for Hotel Transylvania 3

With the release of the animated film Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation, Sony Pictures Animation needed an innovative way to reach and engage their audience to promote their summer blockbuster. Appetite Creative was tasked with designing from scratch, building, and testing a fully responsive unit that would reach at least one million users. We designed and created a candy crush style game in which users would match up

…
characters from the film. We added the video trailer and ticket buying options and three levels of fast-paced, gorgeous gameplay. Each of the three levels would hold a new set of four characters for users to match horizontally or vertically. To increase excitement users were against the clock, each level had only 30 seconds to reach the minimum score or replay that level. We had no prize to offer, so instead users were motivated through the game experience by the design itself and motivated to proceed to the next level and collect the themed bats. We tripled the target reach in the lead up to the national premiere, and had thousands of users playing the game, interacting with the brand and watching the trailer. We hit an astonishing engagement rate of 13% on mobile and 5% overall. Due to Canadian law requires that advertising to children must be user activated, so users had to first interact with the MPU banners before they could start playing the game. Our biggest KPI was engagement time, we achieved a huge average dwell rate of 4 minutes and the longest session played was 9 minutes! 40% of users watched 100% of the trailer!

Vodafone Treasure Hunt

Vodafone X has teamed up with Appetite Creative and OMD to offer the chance to win a brand new iPhone. On Wednesday, 6 June, 2018, Vodafone X hid a brand new iPhone somewhere in Dundrum Town Centre as part of a public treasure hunt. There was no dog-eared map with an X marking the spot with this one though: the clever heads at Appetite Creative Solutions made it 100% digital and completely via smartphone

Here’s how it

…
worked. You show up at the Vodafone Store at 1pm. Once there, whip out your phone and scan QR code and you have your first clue. You’re off and running from there. Each code you scan will lead you to the next spot. If you do it right, you should end up back in the store after visiting three locations. The fastest time on the day wins.

The campaign had 73 participants running around town and one lucky winner with a gleaming new iPhone. 411 Instagram likes, 61 Facebook likes along with a huge message thread as well as almost 300 article covering it means that we are already in the process of setting up the next series of treasure hunts. Keep an eye out in case they come to you!

GAA and Shazam

Gaelic Athletic Association is the largest sporting organization in Ireland. Founded in 1884 by highly spirited Irishmen that realized the need to establish an organization to make athletics accessible as it was once played solely by aristocrats during that time.

GAA promotes hurling, handball and football. It also promotes Irish music, song and dance to enrich its cultural heritage. Today, GAA has over 2,200 clubs

…
in all 32 counties of Ireland. GAA collaborated with Shazam, Electric Media and Appetite Creative to create an entertaining mobile experience. Users could Shazam the TV ad and enter the branded mobile experience. Mobile users can take then a selfie, choose their county and a flag with their chosen crest and phrase will appear. Users also had the option of a fan cap with which they can adjust to different sizes and move around. Users can share the selfie on Facebook or Twitter for a chance to win 2 tickets to the Irish Football Final. Impactful and intelligent selected Rich Media formats make customers consider new products and help brands to stay the leaders in rapidly changing competitive markets.

Interaction rate within the app: 4.65% that is by 8 times higher than the benchmark 0.61%

Users shared their selfies: 31% (Facebook) and 59% (Twitter).

Advent Calendar

After partnering up with The Independent we wanted to create an advent calendar which would offer users the opportunity to win a different prize, offered by a different advertiser each and every day. The challenge was to be able to find enough advertisers to participate and to give an offer for each door and make it compelling enough so users would come back and enter the competitions every day! In addition, each

…
advertiser only had 24 hours available to them before it became the next advertisers turn.

We were able to fully generate and automate a smart calendar system, capable of organising and identifying different dates and associated events across all devices and environments.

We built solid code that worked cross-platform. An ambitious campaign that stood up to everything that we could think to ask.  A triumph of ambition, development, creativity, and execution.

An outstanding 40.73% CTR on all screens (mobile and desktop), over 200 times the benchmark. Average dwell time was almost four minutes!

Dynamic Creative Optimization for Best Western Hotels & Resorts Image

Dynamic Creative Optimization for Best Western Hotels & Resorts

Celebrating more than 70  years of hospitality, Best Western Hotels &  Resorts is an award-winning global family of hotels located in over 100 countries and territories that offer accommodations for all types of travellers.

Having so many hotels and resorts across so many countries is quite some feat, but success on this scale can also bring complications that other, less accomplished, companies might not

…
foresee.

Best Western needed a way to focus their advertising. There would not be much point in offering somebody a hotel in Bali if they were waiting for a bus in the centre of London. So, they needed a way to tailor each experience to each user, and in doing so, offer the widest variety possible, to the largest demographic possible.

This is where Appetite Creative stepped in, we created an MPU and a leaderboard which dynamically updated to show the most relevant hotels for each user who viewed the ad. Two animated, interactive, and dynamic ads to suit each user as if it had been designed exclusively for them.

An astonishing engagement rate of 86.62% shows just how effective this was. That means that on average, nine out of every ten people that saw the ad used it. A remarkable figure that led to an increase in ROI from 1.13 to 1.40. Engagement rate: 86.62%, ROI increased from 1.13 to 1.40.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

They initially talked me through a digital strategy of which we are looking to implement throughout the year. Then helped create the design and content and create a e newsletter template. They then created this on mail chimp at set everything up through this system.

The Review
Feedback summary: 

Internal stakeholders are impressed with the website, which is visually appealing and highly functional. The project has been organized and well-managed, and the Appetite Creative Solutions team is reliable, professional, and supportive.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of Scentropy, a fragrance subscription service. We also have an online shop where customers can buy the fragrances.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Appetite Creative Solutions?

I knew that I wanted to sell and enlighten the public to niche fragrances, but I had nothing other than a brand concept in my mind. I had no vision of colors, branding, or logos, so I hired Appetite Creative Solutions to develop a brand as well as a website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Appetite Creative Solutions was able to come up with a great logo, branding, and color scheme. They gave us several options to choose from. Once we’d decided on one we’d like, the team designed and developed our website using WordPress. I come up with content for the website, and their copywriter edits it for SEO before publishing it. 

The team is also managing my Facebook and Instagram accounts, as well as digital marketing campaigns. 

What is the team composition?

There have been about five people in total. There’s one person setting up the backend, database, and email system. We’ve also worked with content creative writers and a studio manager.

How did you come to work with Appetite Creative Solutions?

I looked up the top five companies on Clutch that were within my budget and chose Appetite Creative Solutions.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent £25,000 (approximately $31,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2020, and it’s ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Appetite Creative Solutions has done a good job. When the site went live, there were tiny issues but they rectified it within 30 minutes. 

The website is great. It’s slick, and it does what it’s supposed to do. I’m happy with everything so far.

How did Appetite Creative Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management style is very good. We have a studio manager, who functions as our project manager.  They give me presentation packs to describe what they’re going to be doing with the project timelines. 

The completion only ran over by a week, but based on our subscription model, I wasn’t in a rush, so it didn’t matter. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

The way they support us is impressive. They tailor what they can to our budget. They’ve gotten us the best bang for our buck.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I’ve been really pleased. They’ve gone above and beyond. Appetite Creative Solutions bend over backward.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be upfront and honest in telling them exactly what you want. You’ve got to have a vision. They ask you the questions in such a structured way that they can get relevant information that you wouldn’t be able to provide yourself.

For what projects/services did your company hire Appetite Creative Solutions?

We have used them for: - Design - Email Marketing - HTML Code - UX/UI

What were your goals for this project?

The idea for this project was to conceptualize a newsletter for the law school alumni. We wanted the agency to come up wit the concept and design; and then code it.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Word of mouth and then checked out their website for more info, and was finally conviced when i saw their projects and client base.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

Our initial reachout was in the begining of May, wanting them to design, concept and code the nesletter. Within 1 week we had a propsal for a new design and started form there. We provided them with the content for the newsletter and they developed the html code in 2 days. This is going to be an ongoing project, where they will repeat this process.

What was the team composition?

For our initial meeting we talked to Jenny Stanley (Founder) and Nicolle Brisbane (Studio Manager) to breif them on the project. Moving forward, we stayed in touch with Nicolle most of the time since she was the one managing the project. She bridged the gap between the design and development teams.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We had an 83% open rate within the first 24 hours. Additionally, we heard from the alumni community it was well recieved and got overall positive feedback.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Highly effective. Nicolle was always following up even after we sent it to see how it went. Also, she was very good at meeting the deadlines and setting realistic expectations.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their design skills were top-notch and they were very professional. Given we are in spain and the newsletter is in english, its hard to find agencies with native english speakers. It was good to work with them for that reason, they doublechecked everything and made sure it made sense even it was not part of their job.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Nope.

I am the Head of Brand Content for a leading children’s cancer charity in the UK. We provide the vital support young cancer patients need to get through their treatment and out the other side with the same life chances and choices as everyone else. I oversee our brand and content production.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Appetite Creative Solutions?

As a charity, and in a time of crisis, budgets are especially limited. Appetite offered us incredible support at just the right time for our emergency appeal. The team worked with us to produce online ads for our campaign, animating static creative produced in-house and providing critical advice for the technical aspects and ongoing optimisation.

What were your goals for this project?

As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, our income has dropped 60% which puts the frontline support we provide to young cancer patients at risk. So we wanted to reach as wide an audience as possible with our emergency appeal. With an offer of free online inventory from a national newspaper, we were keen to for the ads to be as eye-catching as possible.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I was fortunate to have been introduced to Appetite through a mutual connection. From the initial phone call with Jen, it was clear they had industry expertise and experience in abundance. In fact I’m pretty sure I came away better educated!

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

Through a series of follow up emails and phone calls, Appetite gathered an understanding of what we were aiming to achieve, both now and in future. They put together all the creative for the online ads and provided advice on ad servers and associated costings for that. Jen also made extra follow-up calls to make sure things were on track and we would get the most out of the online campaign.

What was the team composition?

I worked closely with Jenny Stanley, Founder and Managing Director, and also with Nicolle Brisbane on the design.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

This campaign has just begun. But initial results indicate the animated ads are performing better.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Both Jenny and Nicolle were both incredibly supportive. Jenny was my main contact day to day and I liaised with Nicolle on the creative production and delivery. I spoke with Jenny almost daily in the setup phase and immediately following launch. The timescales they worked to were short but they made it look effortless getting it done on time – even with a mistake to correct (on our side).

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They are really creative, accommodating and quick! And ready to help with advice and insight based on their solid, up-to-date knowledge of the tech and platforms.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I was really happy with everything, and extremely grateful for their support.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We are a digital advertising agency specialising in immersive ad experiences. I am the company Sales Director

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Appetite Creative Solutions?

We have used Appetite for various page skin build projects as they provide a bespoke responsive product that can be adapted to fit different website layouts.

What were your goals for this project?

We need the opportunity to deliver an already heavily commercialised format at scale but allowing for customisations that set it apart from the traditional format layout.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Appetite were able to accommodate custom build ideas & put them into practice at speed avoiding a lot of the long delays required in other product development areas.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

For each project we either supply worked up storyboards that need to be built or raw assets with a concept idea. From here Appetite then build out the unit & certify it for delivery across our websites.

What was the team composition?

3-4 team members are typically involved covering account management & tech development.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have been able to constantly evolve the product adding on new elements & removing underperforming features.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

for the most part it is usually good, there are at points areas of misunderstanding where my instructions are misinterpreted leading to delays but we have been able to overcome these in the majority of instances without major delay.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I was impressed by the flexibility to customize the products without being confined to rigid build frames.

Are there any areas for improvement?

A more fluid way to be involved with the team at points of build to ensure misinterpreted work is stopped at an earlier stage. Design work can also at times miss the mark or cut corners so that should be looked at.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Company: Digital Marketing and Data Specialists Position: MD, EMEA Pan Regional

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Appetite Creative Solutions?

We hired Appetite to develop a number of creative concepts to demonstrate to clients how they could apply advanced data insights to deliver engaging creative assets.

What were your goals for this project?

Entice the clients to explore a more diverse range of solutions and solidify our position as the programmatic partner of choice.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Myself and the client leads considered three creative agencies in the process of selecting Appetite. We were looking for an agency that would recognise the opportunity for growth with us and also demonstrate creativity to the process and flexibility. From the outset Appetite made us feel that they absolutely understood our goal, didn't over complicate the process and gave us tangible deliverables very quickly - which we could test and develop from. We clearly weren't Appetites biggest live brief or potential opportunity - but they made us feel like we had their complete attention.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

This was a simple brief, didn't involve a huge investment, but was very important for us and the growth of our service delivery to the clients. The brief was to develop a number of teaser treatments that would encourage discussion and exploration of more sophisticated data driven programmatic campaigns. Appetite supported the ideation process, then delivered working treatments from limited source assets.

What was the team composition?

Our main contact day-to-day was MD & Founder Jenny Stanley, but throughout the process we were connected to the Appetite developer working on the asset. Our side involved client leads and a developer, all of whom fed back positively on how the relationship worked.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Two great outcomes for us as one client deepened their investment and we secured a new client on the back of the work.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Workflow was smooth. The first treatments were rough-and-ready but Appetite worked hard to get these revised and finalised quickly.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

These guys work very hard. We knew they were relatively new and relatively small (at the time) and were juggling lots of projects, but they never missed an agreed deadline and made us feel like we had their attention. Jenny is a fantastic advocate for the business and the industry and it was great working with her.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Nope

Feedback summary: 

The team effectively managed the relationships between their two clients actively offering up suggestions to reach the maximum potential in the development. Because of their effective communication skills, they were able to deliver a professional, fully-functioning solution.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the marketing manager at Tetra Pak. We serve Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Appetite Creative Solutions?

We needed help understanding and implementing digital enablers like QR codes to connect with our customers, which are largely food and beverage manufacturers. Our team needed to discover what knowledge and benefits this technology could bring to our company.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We worked on a three-way campaign with their team and one of our clients in Switzerland. Tetra Pak and Appetite Creative Solutions aimed to highlight the benefits of the client’s modern brand through packaging. We did this in two ways. The first involved creating a fresh website for the customer, which focused on lifestyle imagery, clear information, and interactive qualities.

The second part of the campaign was supported by Appetite Creative Solutions. With them, we launched an interactive online quiz meant to educate consumers on the benefits of their dairy products. 

Consumers enter the quiz by scanning a one-use QR code on all beverage products. That takes them to a competition site where they’re shown a graphic detailing the total hours of sunlight per day in their current location. They went through three questions with a roulette-style quiz. After answering the questions, they have the chance to enter a prize draw by inputting their personal details. A winner was randomly selected every few days. 

In this engagement, they were responsible for the development, interactivity, UX, and graphics. The web app and site are mobile-friendly.

What is the team composition?

I worked directly with Jennifer (Managing Director, Appetite Creative Solutions), who coordinated the project. There were also two other people working alongside her.  

How did you come to work with Appetite Creative Solutions?

We had worked with them on a previous, smaller project. They performed well there and were easy to work with. At that point, they understood our style and ethics. We had faith that they could handle the project quickly and professionally. 

How much have you invested with them?

Our end customer invested about $50,000 in their services. We did not financially invest in their services for this project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started the project in June 2019, and the initial contest wrapped in December 2019.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Everything was handled very well by Appetite Creative Solutions. In the three-party partnership, they made sure that everyone was on the same page. Because of their help, the whole campaign was precise and professional with quick turnaround times. Our customer is very happy with the end result. We achieved exactly what we wanted to achieve.

How did Appetite Creative Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

They were very clear, and it was easy for us to get in touch with them. We had multiple channels of communication with them and the customer. Their expertise and suggestions on what could be done to optimize the end product were appreciated by all parties. 

When we ran into problems, they offered solutions to bolster the KPIs for the products. They were also working in German for this project. While it isn’t their mother tongue, there were no problems with communication. Everything was quick and clear from the beginning. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

They have ideas and expertise that pushed us toward the best end product. Instead of blindly following our brief, they gave us feedback to benefit the collaboration. They were also very flexible, allowing for personal, quick service.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They can improve by continuing to provide their expertise. Even in the beginning, while you’re still going over your brief, they could help companies by shedding light on data analytics and what could be captured with their help. I’d recommend that they continue to strengthen these skills.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Have a clear challenge in mind, considering the type of data and experience you want to create. Then, be open and listen to their team for a great working solution.

For what projects/services did your company hire Appetite Creative Solutions?

We were going through a re-positioning and a re-brand and needed a talented web developer/designer to build us a new website, showcasing the new look and feel of our brand. We did not have anyone in-house available to take on such a colossal project, this is why we decided to work with Appetite Creative, an award-winning website builder.

What were your goals for this project?

  • bring our brand to life
  • give our visitors a seamless user experience across the website
  • have a responsive design to engage visitors across all devices
SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Word of mouth - we heard great things about their work.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

We had external web-designers work on the website design, Tiago then started building each dynamic landing pages and optimised to every screen and mobile device. Tiago now maintains our website.

What was the team composition?

Jennifer who is the founder and managing director of Appetite Creative, and Tiago who is a website developer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

Our team now feels confident in directing people to our website – having a strong website has helped us establish ourselves as experts in our industry.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

The project management was very effective. I was constantly in communication with Jennifer and Tiago, one of their web developers. Website launches can be a very stressful time for marketing teams, but the Appetite Creative team was extremely responsive, met all the deadlines set, were flexible and fast to implement changes.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

It was extremely easy to communicate with them and they were flexible with any changes that we wanted to make. This is extremely important when working with providers, especially when trying to meet short deadlines.

Are there any areas for improvement?

My only suggestion for the future is to do a due diligence exercise to make sure that the optimization is done correctly for all devices. There was some back and forth at some point because some pages didn't look right on different screen sizes, however once mistakes were spotted, Appetite Creative rectified them very quickly.
