Monetha - blockchain technology solving the trust problem in on-line purchases

Back in the day, before the on-line shopping, trading had been a physical experience. It was basen on relations and trust. This trust had been weakened when more and more unfair sellers started to use Internet to scam buyers. But thanks to the blockchain technology this problem can soon be dealt with. That’s because it evaluates the participants’ transactions and previous activities related to buying and selling. That’s the

The Review
Feedback summary: 

BluBlu Studios delivered exceptional content with a modern aesthetic that impressed multiple stakeholders and secured notable engagement shortly following its release.  Their communication and project management skills led to seamless collaboration. Their creativity ensures an additional engagement.

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 and creative director of Umault.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with BluBlu Studios?

One of our biggest clients needed a high-quality animation for one of their premiere pieces of insight. They hired us to promote that piece, so we needed a partner that could deliver the animation.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The project's goal was to generate traffic for our client’s report. Essentially, the video was an ad for the report.

BluBlu created a two-minute promotional video for our client’s report. They created a complex 3D animation that had lots of moving parts.

What is the team composition?

Our point person was Jarek (Executive Producer), but he had his whole team on the emails. Their team was comprised of animators, producers, project managers, and artists.

How did you come to work with BluBlu Studios?

I found them on Clutch, but BluBlu happened to reach out when they were in the US taking meetings. I wanted to work with them for a long time, and we finally found the right project.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $20,000 on this project.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project started in March 2020 and ended in July 2020.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The report launched this week, and our client’s excited by the early returns. The video had to capture people’s attention, and early results indicated that it's awesome. Their team had a cutting-edge mindset, which was necessary to ensure the video wasn’t cheesy. They were art-driven and attended to the details.

There were probably 10–12 people on this project from our client’s team. Usually, there would be a few naysayers who would try to throw a wrench into the project. BluBlu’s creative was so strong that our client’s team was 100% aligned in their excitement about the video, which was huge and made us look good. If our client comes back to us next year for a similar project, we’ll work with BluBlu again.

How did BluBlu Studios perform from a project management standpoint?

Although we’re in the US and they’re in Poland, we never had an issue with communication or timelines. It felt like they were in the same city as us. Their project management was absolutely fantastic. We never had to worry about the details because their team was the whole package.

We primarily communicated by e-mail but used Google Meets when we needed to discuss a big point in the project. They delivered a Gantt timeline at the start and abided by it. Their team was exactly on time, which was huge and built trust. They communicated clearly, so there was little room for ambiguity. Their team understood the subtext in our e-mails, which made the project smooth.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re passionate artists driven by creating a final product that they’ve never seen before. Their creativity sets them apart. Their team focused on producing unique creative, which I loved.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, they were perfect.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Come with your goals and a message, and then let BluBlu work.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Co-Founder and Partner of a boutique strategic creative Agency, PLUS, based in New York City.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire BluBlu Studios?

We hired BluBlu Studios to help us create a compelling and dynamic animated video for a Global Social Media Campaign.

What were your goals for this project?

To capture a feeling of celebration and inclusivity, brought to life by a cast of characters.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We selected Blu Blu Studios for the high quality of their work, the range of animation skills they offered, and after a phone interview we were very impressed by their professionalism. We liked their creative process which was in line with the standards and workflows we are used to working in.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.

BluBlu were given artwork and were asked to translate the artwork into a :15 story. The video features a scene with a cast of over 20 animated characters, and each one needed to have a fun and unique personality.

We worked together to build a project timeline that allowed for internal and client reviews. BluBlu surpassed our expectations at every stage of the process.

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

We co-created a timeline, working within our client's parameters. The timeline allowed for internal and client reviews.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The video was approved by our client on the first viewing. It's a testament to the quality of work, and the ability to translate a creative brief.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It was seamless.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their professionalism and the quality of their work stood out to us. As mentioned above, the video was approved by our client on the first viewing. They exceeded our expectations at every step of the process and I highly recommend them.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the President of Serbin Creative, Inc. based in Santa Barbara, California. We are a marketing company for many of the world’s leading commercial illustrators and photographers. Art directors in advertising agencies, graphic design firms, corporations and publishing companies regularly access our online, print and social media resources when they need to hire a professional, freelance artist.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire BluBlu Studios?

We wanted a short animation to quickly explain how the various components of our Directory of Illustration marketing program help artists connect with their target market. The purpose was to drive artists to visit our website and contact us to learn more about our unique services.

What were your goals for this project?

We are widely known for our annual printed compendium, but our program is so much than that, incorporating a very popular portfolio website and social feeds as well. Since OUR target market is professional artists, any materials we produce must be extremely professional, with very high production value. We also serve a wide variety of artists, from traditional to cutting edge, so the style of the animation needed to have broad appeal.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

One day I happened upon BluBlu’s portfolio and saw a video that sparked my imagination and helped me visualize a way that we could more quickly tell our story. I wasn’t even looking for a production company at that point, but after a 20 minute introductory phone call, I knew that they were the absolute right fit for the assignment and I decided to create a budget for a project that had really only been a distant concept previously. I have been in this industry for almost three decades, and I look at hundreds (if not thousands) of different kinds of artist websites every year. I think I have a pretty keen eye for talent, so the fact that Blu Blu stood out to me is a testament to their professional presentation and ability to communicate their expertise.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.

BluBlu guided us to establish a comprehensive Creative & Content Brief, which helped them quickly get to know us and formed the basis for the script, visual direction, etc. The final product is a video that we are using on our website, embedded in email campaigns, and on social media.

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

They communicated everything efficiently via email and WeTransfer, with only 1 or 2 phone calls necessary.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We're just began promoting the video last week. We have already had fantastic feedback on the visuals from current and prospective clients. Traffic is up on our website and we've seen an early uptick in inquiries via email and social. I'll be happy to update this review in a few weeks to report on quantifiable results.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

They managed the entire process very smoothly... from storyboarding and styleboards to the selection of the voice over artist, approvals of over 20 illustrations and animating the final. Their communication was exceptional and very collaborative, but only required a minimum amount of time from my team. 

What did you find most impressive about this company?

We have hired many, many visual artists over the years (although have never produced an animation before). BluBlu stands out as one of the most professional vendors we have ever worked with. They have a unique ability to understand what the client needs, and to efficiently guide you through the process. Above all, they produced really stunning visuals that were right on the money for our market.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I can't think of anything I would change.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the general manager. I work for the leader in thoughtful email productivity software that empowers people to focus on what matters on the world’s top email platforms. Since 2010, we have helped its customers be more productive by analyzing the context of work and adding value on top of it.

Today, we enable millions of Gmail and Outlook users around the globe to schedule & prioritize their inbox and be more productive. Boomerang is the maker of products by the same name for Gmail, Outlook, and Android, as well as our Calendar, The Email Game, and Inbox Pause. We are based in Mountain View, CA. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire BluBlu Studios?

We hired BluBlu to create a 90 second animated video explaining one of the new features in our main product called Insights, which delivers customized, actionable analytics and insights based on how you use your email.

What were your goals for this project?

When we first released it we had a hard time describing it in our marketing materials since it's pretty complex and takes some time for users to process. We hoped that this video would help explain the product and convince users to try it, leading to increased conversion on the landing page and more users.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We had reached out to several vendors for a previous animation project a few years ago. We weren't able to work with BluBlu then due to the time constraint so wanted to revisit it again. They provided the most competitive quote and (we feel) the strongest portfolio out of the agencies we reached out to.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.

Once we agreed on the quote, we filled out a creative brief and had a kickoff call with Jarek from the BluBlu team. They provided a very detailed timeline of the process, what the steps were and how long each should take, including time built in for feedback and iteration.

We decided to have them write the script for us, which only needed very minor revisions. After the script was settled we started working with Matt who gave us regularly updates with storyboards, styleframes, voice over options. Everything was delivered on time according to their schedule.

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

The process started with a detailed timeline, giving us a very good idea of what to expect, when. Deliverables were sent through a WeTransfer link, and feedback was given to their team via email.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We haven't posted the video to our marketing pages yet

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Very well. Despite a very slight language barrier (our product is currently only localized for English users, so their team was not able to try it out) they got a good grasp of the product and what we wanted to convey.

We were pleased with the deliverables at each step and they were very receptive to feedback and addressed everything we requested. The only difficult part was that since they are based in Poland their work hours did not overlap with ours at all

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Even though they weren't able to try out the product it didn't seem like it affected the quality of the script or video at all. Everything went so smoothly and the quality of illustration and animation was incredible.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Some of the language in the initial script was a bit odd, but very easy to remedy. We were otherwise very satisfied with their work at each stage.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire BluBlu Studios?

We hired BluBlu to produce an institutional video with a top tier quality under a very tight schedule

What were your goals for this project?

To produce animation with several tailor made designs, that would need to have a sofisticated yet sober look

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We reached this vendor through reviews found on Google, but what really caught our attention was their vast and diverse portfolio, that matched our desired video style.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.

The video needed a lot of abstract animations since it is a financial services company. We needed to inspire trust and passion, but on a different way of tech companies.

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

The vendor was extremely professional, understanding the deadlines and most importantly understanding our demands. They just didn't "do what they were told to". They had the attention to really understand what were our objectives even on gaps that werent literally explained by me.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Right after the video was finalized we presented it on our annual investors conference and it was definitely a landmark on the institutional view the market had on us.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It was perfect. Timezone helped a lot, as I had about a half-day to review and they had another day to develop. So on a daily basis, we had effective progress.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

We were impressed by the quality of the production and their capacity to understand the client.

Are there any areas for improvement?

It would be nice to have a communication channel for instant communication. Most of our conversations were through email, which ended up being ok as they had a quick response, but if I needed something more immediate it could be a problem.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO and co-founder of a therapeutic app for people with anxiety.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with BluBlu Studios?

We needed a partner to create video content for our platform.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

BluBlu Studios created one-minute animated videos that explain the concepts of anxiety and panic to our patients using the app. We gave them a rough storyline as I’d made a couple of videos, but their team recommended we start over. From there, they did everything. Their team took the script, made changes, and directed the rest of the process. They developed unique characters for the videos that were completely different than anything we’d seen previously. Their team produced the content iteratively, executing our feedback fast.

What is the team composition?

We worked with four people: one project manager and three individuals who produced the videos.

How did you come to work with BluBlu Studios?

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a co-founder of the company and oversee the user experience of our technology and online/offline marketing materials.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire BluBlu Studios?

We hired BluBlu to create an explainer video for Solvent.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to capture the story that paints the problem we're solving and the technology we're using to do it. There were a lot of moving parts to the story we wanted to tell and we felt as though BluBlu had what it took to do that story justice.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We had seen BluBlu on Dribbble, but ultimately we referred to our 99design agency pro account to source an agency for this project. BluBlu stood out from all the other agencies 10-fold. We knew that we had found some of the best talent in the industry.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.

The video tells the story of the industry problem that created the necessity for our technology solutions. We were able to come up with that story and roughly storyboard a very rudimentary version of the story. BluBlu then took that version and created illustrations to better tell the story – we felt they did a wonderful job. Once we approved everything they then ran with the animation of the video in record time,

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

We did most of our communication via email. That ended up being very easy on our team and we were able to make decisions quickly regarding all creative files and direction.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The video we received not only did an outstanding job of bringing our story to life – but it was done in a very unique, and cutting-edge way. BluBlu gave us a video that is unlike anything we've seen and used an incredible amount of creativity to tell our story in the most simple way possible, and so far it has been met with rave reviews. They also stuck to the timeline. I don't think you can ask for better success metrics than those things.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Great, simple, effective. Resulted in a top-notch product.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

BluBlu Studios is one of those companies that 'get it'. We communicated the story that we had in our heads the best we could, and they took it and ran with it. Their input was invaluable, they really understand how to take a story and condense it down into 2 minutes, pair visuals with voice over audio and overlaid sound to create a product that was 98% complete. The revision process is taking us no time at all. That's the company you want to work with!

Are there any areas for improvement?

No. We very much intend to continue working with this agency moving forward and excited to create more dynamic marketing materials for our company.
