Please describe your company and your position there.
I'm the director of interactive production at WOW MKTG. I oversee the creation and development of websites, applications, ad units, and campaign landing pages.
For what projects/services did your company hire Code Labs, and what were your goals?
Our company was in the process of rebranding from Wow Factor to WOW MKTG and wanted to use the full solar eclipse as a way to transition. We needed to build a campaign site that would connect to the progress of the solar eclipse in real time.
The site would show our old branding and reveal the new branding after the eclipse peaked.
How did you select Code Labs and what were the deciding factors?
Code Labs was one of our partner vendors we had worked with previously for ad units/banners. After discussing the project details and timeline, we were confident that they would be able to delivery.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
We had a kickoff without the CodeLabs team and our creative team. Our creative team would design the landing page and provide assets. CodeLabs would then convert that to HTML/CSS and connect the visuals to update in real time based on progress of the solar eclipse.
The CodeLabs team used javascript to calculate and animate the visuals on page as well as determine when the new logo would be displayed.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
After discussing the project scope with their CEO and CTO, a project manager and one lead developer was assigned. We worked closely with both until the project was launched.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
The project was met with praise from our clients and partners who were unaware of the rebrand. The landing page was amplified on social and helped increase awareness of our rebrand.
Site traffic to both the landing page and our main website increased during the solar eclipse.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.
We communicated daily with both project manager and lead developer to discuss progress and anticipate any possible issues. Communication was all handled by phone/skype with email recaps.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
They work fast without sacrificing quality. With a creative team of their own, they were able to work with all design assets provided when we had design changes. This minimized back and forth between our design team to provide updated assets to CodeLabs.

All issues were identified during QA and debug phases which were identified during the building of the project timeline. Everything went as expected.
