Brand Vision

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the marketing and communications coordinator of an entertainment company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Brand Vision?

We needed web design and development services.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Brand Vision designed and developed our website from scratch using Figma and Webflow. We had a base design and logo the team used, and we conceptualized the site's design together. We provided the team with an outline that another web developer had put together and examples of websites I liked in terms of animation and style, as well as some of our competitors' sites. From there, Brand Vision gave us a couple of design options, and we worked from there to build it out.

What is the team composition?

I worked with four teammates from Brand Vision, including designers and developers. I was mostly in contact with two team leads.

How did you come to work with Brand Vision?

We found Brand Vision through a Google search and Clutch. We selected the team after reading their website and case studies. I met with a Brand Vision teammate who gave me an outline of the project's cost and scope. We discussed back and forth to answer my questions and then confirmed our engagement.
How much have you invested with them?

We spent between $35,000–$50,000 CAD (approximately $27,000–$37,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with Brand Vision from January–July 2024. Brand Vision has launched our site and continues to provide ongoing support.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Brand Vision successfully launched our website, and we had a successful engagement. Although the site was recently launched, we already received positive feedback, significant engagement, and excellent brand awareness overall. Brand Vision's work met our expectations.

How did Brand Vision perform from a project management standpoint?

The project was delayed due to us. Brand Vision was quick and responsive and could launch the site earlier. The project scope was a 12-week plan, but we had delays on our end. Brand Vision met our budget and communicated well via phone calls, emails, Zoom, and text messages towards the end of the project. We collaborated through Asana and Figma for project management.
Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

I worked closely with Kajal (Project Manager), who was amazing. Her response time was incredible. She was helpful with anything I needed and guided me through the entire process.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The team was amazing in terms of communication, design, and animation.

Are there any areas they could improve?
I can't think of anything Brand Vision could improve. 

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

I recommend working with Brand Vision to any client seeking web design and development services. I'd work with the team again ten times out of ten because they were supportive, affordable, and provided a great experience.

Brand Vision helped create a new website for our company. Prior to reaching out, our team had mocked up an outline with designs of how we wanted the website to look. Our main goal was to create a website that best showcases the services (2D to 3D Stereo and Visual Effects) offers with a modern and fresh look. Upon seeing some of the website Brand Vision has designed in the past, we thought this would be a great fit.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Brand Vision significantly exceeded our expectations in multiple aspects. They not only embraced our initial vision but also adeptly expanded upon it, introducing fresh and innovative tools and designs to effectively highlight the range of services our company offers. Notably, the standout achievement was the transformation of our website's homepage, which has garnered numerous accolades since its launch.

The homepage elegantly showcases both our renowned 3D Stereo VFX capabilities, for which we have a solid reputation, and our emerging Visual Effects service, which continues to thrive. This revamped web presence firmly positions us as a premier player in the entertainment industry, reflecting the exceptional quality of work delivered by our global team of artists. 

We extend our sincere appreciation to Brand Vision for their invaluable guidance throughout this transformative journey. It has been a truly exceptional and enriching experience.

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

Brand Vision largely adhered to our project timeline, albeit with occasional exceptions. Given our ambitious schedule for launching the new website, their proactive approach in situations where specific deliverables faced delays was commendable.

They maintained ongoing communication, ensuring that we remained well-informed about anticipated timelines. In instances where they encountered challenges resulting in deviations from the schedule, they provided transparent explanations for any such delays.

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

Brand Vision supported our organization with the design and development of a new website, which included a branding refresh of our company colours, fonts and graphics. As an affiliate of an international organization, we had limitations of what we could change within our branding.

Brand Vision was tasked with elevating the branding of our parent organization and establishing a unique look-and-feel for our local affiliate. From there, they were tasked with redesigning and building our website which included:

• discovery research of other affiliate's sites, other local non-profits, and similar organizations
• helping us restructure the layout and designing the wireframe / site-map
• designing pages that spoke to each of our key stakeholder groups - develop prototypes of each page, including all elements and imagery
• creating custom blocks for our site and working with external platforms for integrations
• sourcing imagery and graphics that represented our organization and brand
• building the site on WordPress and connecting our url
• considering the user journey and user experience
• seo optimization, front-end mobile development, plug-in optimization
• setting up data collection and google analytics
• pre-launch testing and revisions
• post-launch maintenance, training and site-handover

The primary deliverables for this project was elevated branding and the launch of a new site. We wanted this project to be very collaborative and tasked Brand Vision with bringing our ideas to life, while offering their expertise and suggestions throughout each stage of the project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

In working with Brand Vision, we successfully built and launched a new website that showcased fresh branding while still staying true to our parent organization's look-and-feel. Through this project, we were able to:

• establish our own unique look-and-feel
• modernize our branding
• speak more effectively to each our our key stakeholders
• restructure the layout of our site and how information was presented
• elevate our user experience
• seamlessly integrate the various external tools and platforms we use
• resolve the pain points of our previous website
• establish better data collection for the site and our user's journey
• stay within budget without compromising our goals

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

Working with Brand Vision was an outstanding experience. The team was very hands on and willing to make the edits and changes we requested to the initial design. All items were delivered on time and they followed up as needed when we had outstanding deliverables or approvals. Throughout the process, Brand Vision was very patient with us, adjusting the project's timeline as needed so we never felt rushed.

The team was extremely flexible and accommodating throughout, maintaining constant communication through email and phone check-ins. Issues were brought to our attention immediately so they could be resolved in a timely manor. Brand Vision was with us every step of the way to ensure our needs were being met and that we were satisfied. They made us feel like we were their top priority and that they were ready and willing to support with whatever we needed.

What was your primary form of communication with Brand Vision?

• Virtual Meeting

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

Brand Vision's excitement for our project made them an amazing organization to work with. We always felt like our project mattered and that they cared about it as much as we did. Their team was available whenever we needed them and kept in constant communication with us throughout. Their dedication to us and our needs was outstanding and really elevated our experience working with them.

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

Our organization works best when using a work-back plan or task management system to track deliverable due dates. Because the DFS Toronto team is small and we had conflicting projects happening at the same time, we could have benefitted from a detailed task schedule to ensure we did not fall behind on providing Brand Vision with the content or information they required to continue their work.

My only feedback for Brand Vision would be to use a project / task management tool to build out a work-back plan with clear due dates for the companies they work with. This would ensure projects stay on track and limited delays occur. I would also suggest scheduling check-ins throughout the project to make adjustments to the scope or timeline as needed.

Knowledge of backend settings. When I transferred the website from GoDaddy to Wix, our DNS entries got deleted, and they didn't know that it would happen. They are designers, but knowing these things to warn people is something they will know for the future, for their benefit as well as their client.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of a fitness and mindset company. I help people achieve their fitness goals and provide them with a new mindset for a fresh start when they’re not happy with their current life.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Brand Vision?

I wanted to have a relatable logo that could stand out and make sense for our name, so I hired Brand Vision to help me with branding.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Brand Vision was responsible for designing my logo and defining its colors. Initially, I told them about my business and who I wanted to target, and they eventually came back with some rough designs. Then, we discussed which colors would be the best for the logo.

After delivering the logo, Brand Vision offered to design a website for me. However, I held that part off because I’m doing a reevaluation to see all my options before I go that route.

What is the team composition?

I worked directly with Kajal (Manager & Assistant Designer).

How did you come to work with Brand Vision?

I was doing research and stumbled upon them. From there, I compared them to other companies and thought that I would get the most value for my money with Brand Vision. I saw it as an opportunity, so I took it.

How much have you invested with them?

I spent over $3,000 CAD (approximately $2,200 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

I started working with them in February 2023, and I received my logo in March 2023.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Brand Vision exceeded my expectations on the logo I wanted. Although I’ve shared my new logo online and achieved some sales, I haven’t used it to its full potential yet. Moving forward, I plan to use it on my videos and some merchandise.

How did Brand Vision perform from a project management standpoint?

Brand Vision delivered on time and within budget. Moreover, their communication was good. They always responded within 24–36 hours.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Brand Vision worked exactly as I initially envisioned, and the results I got exceeded my expectations. Their team was very creative and used different images and content to come up with the best design for my logo, for which I’m very grateful.

Are there any areas they could improve?

This was my first logo design project, so I don’t know what Brand Vision could have done better.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Go in with an open mind and trust the process. During the initial meeting, go into very deep detail and open up about your company so that they can get an idea of where you’re coming from and give you what you’re looking for.
