Caboodle Media

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner, operator, and director at Premio Media, a film production company.

What challenge were you trying to address with Caboodle Media?

We serve our clients by creating simple and engaging films to communicate complex marketing messages. So, we hired Caboodle Media to create a website that reflected our services and values.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Caboodle Media designed and developed a WordPress website that showed our services and values, and demoed our work in a visually-engaging way. The team made the website user-friendly and created a logical UI. 

How did you come to work with Caboodle Media?

I have a personal connection with the founder. We had a conversation about what I needed for my company and realized that what he offered was exactly what we needed. I also reached out to a local company here in Wisconsin. 

I ultimately chose to work with Caboodle Media because their price was more competitive, and I felt like my money was going to go further with their services. 

How much have you invested with them?

In total, I spent about $5,000, but it was a $10,000 website in terms of its value.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from March–August 2019. I still reach out to them for support if I ever need it.

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

Their work was great. Caboodle Media struck a great balance between visual appeal and functionality, and they helped us to keep the end-user in mind throughout the process. This meant that at the end of the project, we had something that actually accomplished what we had set out to achieve.

How did Caboodle Media perform from a project management standpoint?

The team was responsive and took ownership of the creative planning and requirements. They also allowed us to give input. Additionally, they were flexible in terms of matching my pace and accommodating my needs. 

There was never a time where Caboodle Media held up the project. The communication was great, and we communicated via text, email, and phone calls. We had irregular meetings as needed.

In the planning stage, we talked about once a week for a month. In the execution stage, we touched base 2–3 times per week, sometimes several times a day. There was never a lack of communication.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Caboodle Media brought valuable knowledge from a broad perspective in terms of what was needed for our business to be effectively present online. The team’s commitment to customer service was also invaluable. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, not that I can think of. I wouldn’t change anything about our engagement.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

At the beginning of the process, make sure you identify the final outcomes you hope to achieve with their services, otherwise, you could end up spending money on something that doesn’t help you achieve your actual goals. Caboodle Media can help you with this.
