Burumbio Media

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the creative director of a digital agency called design:success.

What challenge were you trying to address with Burumbio Media?

We were creating a campaign for a banking app, and we hired Burumbio Media to help with commercials and photo shoots. 

What was the scope of their involvement?

My team at design:success was responsible for creating a storyboard for the commercial. Once our client approved the plan, we relied on Burumbio Media to execute on our vision. They helped us select a cast and assemble a crew. Burumbio Media made arrangements for lights, wardrobe, cameras, and everything else we required the shoot. Finally, they filmed and edited the commercials for the product.

What is the team composition?

Pablo (Director & Producer, Burumbio Media) was our main point of contact. Overall, 20­–30 people worked on our project, but I’m not sure how many of those worked for Burumbio Media.  

How did you come to work with Burumbio Media?

I received a recommendation from a friend and got in contact with Pablo. I reviewed their portfolio, and their price fit our budget. Once we selected them, we were quite pleased with the services they provided.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $60,000–$80,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

The entire project took about three weeks during July­–August 2017.

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

We received a high-quality finished product. The video matched what we envisioned in the creative brief. It was a good experience working with them.

How did Burumbio Media perform from a project management standpoint?

Pablo took charge of mostly everything. It was nice to have one central point of contact.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Sometimes in projects like this, the acting doesn’t have the emotion that you were expecting, but that wasn’t the case here. Burumbio Media excelled at directing the talent and finding the right note or tone in terms of acting.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Their art department was a little bit slow on the shooting day, so we had to find a new strategy for how they would approach the rest of the day. That was the only bump that we experienced. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I would advise future clients to be involved and convey the message they want to obtain.
