We are a software startup in its earliest stages of growth. While working on our B2B application in house, we engaged with the Branx for brand creation (logo, colors, messaging) and a public facing/consumer website.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our outcomes were not easily measurable in the truest sense. We were looking for a logo and color palette that differentiated us from our competitors. Additionally, we were looking for a website that summarized our products and services, drew in lead gen, and again differentiated us from competition. We routinely tracked this progress throughout the project.

The project was truly collaborative. From initial kickoff to developing a project plan, to then providing proofs of concept, to final work the Branx team consistently delivered. Items were always delivered on time and any delays would normally be on our side. We were fairly vocal with our feedback throughout the project and the Branx team responded each time with options that helped match our vision.

A number of things come to mind. Collaboration is easily one of the Branx's strongest skills which is essential on a project like this. Additionally the diversity of their expertise is impressive. Across the board from project managers, executive leadership, to the design and website teams they have a well rounded group of experts needed to cover everything we needed. Lastly, they were really great to work with. Always energetic, friendly, and understanding.

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

Not from my perspective.

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

The engagement with The Branx was to develop a visual brand language and to design, develop and launch a website with a corresponding CMS system that would enable us to manage key content on the site. 

We kicked off with a rapid branding exercise. The Branx aided in competitive research and then developed and delivered a style guide that would allow us to clearly differentiate from other firms in our space. 

Once we approved the style guide, they designed the pages for both desktop and mobile layouts. Designs were reviewed and detailed were collaborated on in Figma. Once approved, they developed the sites using Webflow, launched the site, and then provided post-site support to make small tweaks as required. 

Overall we were extremely pleased with the service they provided. We were on an extremely tight schedule. Their team was extremely efficient and response, and worked with us in a very collaborative manner.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

This was our first website coming out of "stealth" as a software company. Its purposes was to establish ourselves as a player in our space (construction software), to communicate our vision and product to future customers and investors, and to aid in recruitment efforts. Some specific outcomes:

• Led to a large increase in inbound investor requests 
• Is now the primary source of inbound customer requests via our product page. Previously all customer conversations had been outbound.

I appreciate that they also gently pushed and challenged us towards developing a bolder brand/style than we would otherwise.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CEO of an IT consulting company in the B2B sector from Germany. We are specialised in agile software development, DevOps consulting and IT security services.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire The Branx, and what were your goals?

We hired The Branx for rebranding and brand ui elements, including the design and creation of a new corporate logo. Our goals were to develop a new brand identity that is in line with our corporate culture in order to appear appealing to potential employees and customers.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We came across The Branx through research on the internet. After comparing different agencies, the team came to the conclusion that The Branx's style best matched our ideas and vision.

Describe the scope of their work in detail, including any steps and the final deliverables.

First, as a team, we had to think about the position of our company. What kind of appearance is important to us and what values do we want to reflect to the outside world. What goals and visions do we have and which colours are a no-go and so on. We worked on this and in the following steps four different brand identities were proposed to us on Figma so that we could decide on a direction.

After we did this, The Branx continued to work together with us on one idea. The logo was adapted according to our ideas and some other tweaks were made until we came to a final result. A social media kit was then designed for this.

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

I worked directly with their project manager and chief creative officer. Brand specialists also supported different stages of the work.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

For results, feel free to check out our website www.swipergy.com and our new social media channels on LinkedIn, Instagram and Twitter. There you will find our new brand identity in action.

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

We used a common calendar planning tool and Google Hangout to hold meetings. The timeline was transparent and adhered to.

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

As a team, we were very pleased with the open, friendly manners and prompt responses. For example, when we asked for specific Canva designs to be sent to us.

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

Nothing came to our minds so far.
