BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CMO of Fabulous Fanny's, a vintage eyewear manufacturer and retailer.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Bolex Brothers LLC?

Needed an "origin" story video for iconic NYC East Village brand.

What were your goals for this project?

We intend to use the video/footage on our website and social media to help introduce the brand to consumers throughout the world.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Recommendation from a valued friend/business colleague. Their unique vintage style was perfect for our vintage brand.

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

The video brings NYC and the East Village to life as the backdrop for the birth of the Fabulous Fanny's store. In the process of editing, we had a major change to our business and business model, thereby requiring a complete overhaul to the script and storytelling.

Bolex couldn't have been more flexible. Moreover, we couldn't quite figure out the "voice" for the brand until Brandon (Bolex) did a read for us. His VO couldn't have been more perfect.

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

Bolex was an incredible partner in script development, changes, recommendations, wardrobe, and keeping things on track. They were always responsive and honest with feedback.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

As of now, the only outcome is internal. The key executives feel even more proud of their brand. We have yet to launch the online direct to consumer website due to Coronavirus.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Bolex was extremely flexible and couldn't have been a better partner to us. Given the massive change to our business model, Bolex could have bitched and moaned about the changes, but instead chose to cheer us on and become part and parcel of the brand evolution.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

We needed a youthful passion and perspective for our brand, and Bolex has that in spades. Great people and truly easy to work with.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I'd only recommend that they trust their gut and challenge their clients even more.
