Bowman Digital Media

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the owner of a brand new online language school that provides language training in English, Spanish and German.

For what projects/services did your company hire Bowman Digital Media, and what were your goals?

As a startup and new brand, there are lots of moving parts at the same time. The primary goal is to move away from obscurity. Having a website was essential to start our brand awareness campaign. I hired BDM to design and develop our first website in 3 languages (English, Spanish and German).

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I found BDM in a network of business leaders. After discussing my project and challenges as a startup with Ira, I chose his company based on past projects, cost estimate and flexibility.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We had a kick-off meeting to discuss my needs. From there, the team suggested templates to have a look and tools to work with. After a few iterations, their team designed and developed a site first in English, then in Spanish and finally in German.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

A project manager was my main point of contact throughout the whole process. There was another team player working behind the scenes and, of course, Ira directly supporting me in case of any concern.

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

After launching our site, I was able to submit the corresponding paperwork for trademark registration and start the brand awareness campaign. The website is also crucial, as it is the link to the upcoming learning platform.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Communication was very easy. There was a spreadsheet which included each section of the website with my requirement (design, content, layout). As work progressed, sections were tagged for me to review or tagged by me as completed or still in progress. It was easy to see If there were requests, questions or comments addressed.

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

They gave us the face of Verbal Bridges. Verbal Bridges now exists on the internet. They were a very talented and flexible team. They were not only able to overcome technical challenges linked to the ongoing development of the learning platform, but to develop the site in 3 different languages. I kept a WOW count for each time they surprised me. In total, they gave me 36!!!

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

At the beginning, I didn't understand the dynamic of the spreadsheet, and I was asking for updates. Ira explained it to me and identified that instructions were not shared. Once I got it, the communication was very easy and clear.

We initiated several marketing campaigns to promote our services, but weren’t reaching our target audience as intended. We spoke with the team at Bowman Digital Media in hopes that we can make changes in this area and quick!

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I searched all around for solutions; Fiverr, LinkedIn, etc. I didn’t find a vendor that fit the bill in my eyes.

From there, a plan was put in place to alleviate those gaps and homework was given to help us stay on track. They also helped to refine our social media strategy by creating guidelines for content development, release schedules and more.

The graphic design team jumped into action and created materials to share with our audience, further boosting our reach. After assessing results, the Owner decided that adding some videography to the mix would open some doors. He was right! Also, after infusing some SEO in the background via internal tools, Jobready2dey was rocking!

For what projects/services did your company hire Bowman Digital Media, and what were your goals?
