We had a struggling, outdated E-Commerce site that needed to be replaced with a modern, responsive E-Commerce solution. We specifically needed and E-Commerce platform integrated with Shopify to provide a D2C platform, B2B platform, and backend inventory and product management solution.

What were your goals for this project?

The solution had to be built with Shopify and provide responsive design and e-commerce capabilities.

How did you select this vendor?

We selected FlowState from familiarity with the company and their work.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

They developed, designed, and created our e-commerce site and backend inventory management solution. FlowState also implemented content creation for us with media, design, video, and photo for the e-commerce platform.

What was the team composition?

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The most impressive aspect of FlowState and working with them has to the quality of the work matched with the personality and care of their team. They do not look at you just as a client but as a friend and part of their team. Ultimately, they view your long term success as their success. They value transparency and a job well done.

Are there any areas for improvement?

There was very little to improve on. The complete experience was positive from my perspective.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the VP of Manufacturing for Proteus Snowboards. We’re a startup trying to bring disruptive technology to the snowboard industry.

For what projects/services did your company hire FlowState Marketing?

We hired FlowState Marketing to produce a well-designed website that explains and demonstrates our new technology to potential customers in a professional and engaging manner.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal was a highly interactive website that makes technical information accessible to all customers no matter their knowledge level.

How did you select this vendor?

One of the founders of FlowState Marketing and I are both alumni of the same university. During my time at school, his company’s presence grew both on and off campus. I saw the effectiveness of FlowState Marketing’s branding and marketing skills from a consumer standpoint.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

We needed an interactive and cleanly-designed website comparable to the highest level of companies in our industry. We had FlowState Marketing perform a wide range of services such as branding, content generation, video production, and web development. We were blown away by the level of quality they achieved in everything they did.

What was the team composition?

FlowState Marketing provided us a web project manager and point of contact—Tom (Director of Digital Design, FlowState Marketing)—who then assigned specific tasks to other team members depending on their specialties. Dayna (Director of Communications, FlowState Marketing) provided us excellent advice on marketing and communications; Harry (Lead Web Developer, FlowState Marketing) went above and beyond in developing an interactive website, and Josh (Digital Media Designer, FlowState Marketing) filmed and edited eye-catching videos for the site.

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

When we talk to potential customers, one of the first things they mention is our website. They're blown away by the aesthetics and how easy it is to understand our technology just from the content FlowState Marketing produced. On top of that, the site won a local marketing award, which demonstrates the caliber of work FlowState Marketing can provide a client company.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We had one major point of contact who coordinated the work and flow of information between us and other FlowState Marketing employees. Tom was exceptionally effective and always on top of even the smallest of issues we had.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The quality of work was top-notch, but as a snowboard company, we need to reach a specific audience in the outdoor community. FlowState Marketing recognized our target audience and then fully satisfied both our needs and our customer's wants.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I have no idea how FlowState Marketing could improve—they really went above and beyond. I firmly believe that the team has the capabilities of an older and larger marketing company. They even exceed what you might expect of a larger company at a much more personal level.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the owner of Brewery Boot Camps.

What challenge were you trying to address with FlowState Marketing?

We needed some custom apparel made, so we were looking for a company to help us.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We've done all of our custom apparel with them (seven T-shirts and two sweaters). Usually, I give them my ideas or do sketches, and they come up with amazing designs and put everything together.

What is the team composition?

I have two main points of contact, but I also work with other members of their team.

How did you come to work with them?

I took a class, which happened to be at their office. We started talking and they showed me some examples of their work. After that, I decided they'd be a good fit for our needs.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in June 2016 and the relationship is ongoing,

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

Our T-shirts basically flew off the shelves. Customers love the product and the custom material FlowState developed. They work fast and always help me go in the right direction.

How did they perform from a project management standpoint?

They do an excellent job. They're always there for me, even when I call them late at night.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They're very personable. They want to know who we are as a company and how they can help us.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can't think of anything.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

They have a very smooth process and communicate with each other. They do great work no matter what person I'm working with.

How did you select this vendor?

referred by a friend and after two calls with them we knew Flowstate would be an excellent choice for our needs.

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

To start, We had zoom calls with flowstate to establish the brand voice and identity, after that we had additional meetings to find the style of the brand. Flowstate showed us several varying styles that all would have been excellent but helped us narrow down to specifics. After Branding was done, they helped us every step of the way to launching our website as well.

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

We worked with five people

Their work quality, from basic designs to the completed website, was remarkable.

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

I don't think so.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Founder of a social networking platform.

For what projects/services did your company hire FlowState Branding, and what were your goals?

We needed help crystalizing our brand. We knew who we were and what we stood for, but we didn't know how to say it and how to to visually express it. Our brand needed to be differentiated from the alternatives, and it needed to attract our target market. We hired FlowState to create a beautiful brand for our company that fulfilled those goals.

The services we hired FlowState for was to provide us with a brand strategy and visual identity; brand naming; the design and development of a landing page to direct users to download the mobile app; UI design for our mobile app to actualize our brand into the product itself; and other collateral materials to create a cohesive look and feel across our various touchpoints (collateral such as business card designs, a letterhead design, an email newsletter template, a one-pager design, 4 multi-media ads, and a presentation deck design). 

How did you select this vendor?

We conducted an extensive search through dozens of branding agencies throughout the US and Europe who could deliver on our goals. After getting proposals from about 5 different agencies, we narrowed it down to two: Flowstate and a large branding company.

We decided to pursue this project with FlowState because they were a smaller agency which allowed them to work at a much faster pace, with their top guys working directly on our project; their website and case studies impressed us, demonstrating their creativity and quality of work; FlowState's quick communication and follow-up stood out among every other agency we inquired about; their wide range of capabilities was exactly what we needed; and their pricing was competitive. The other agency was 4x more costly, and FlowState ended up delivering a branding result that was just as good, even better. We firmly believe no other agency we looked at could have delivered a better result than FlowState.

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

Initally, FlowState gave us a document that outlined in clear detail exactly what to expect. The document included an overview of the entire process with clear descriptions of the process, the deliverables, and a dated timeline. At any given point we always knew exactly where the project stood, what was being worked on, what to expect, and when.

They had a very nice format where it was not demanding on us, but moved the work through quickly and efficiently, and met all our time deadlines and goals.

The project started out with Discovery - After signing, we got started immediately. FlowState sought to understand and become integrated with our business, our market, what we stand for, our visions, and our goals. It involved a questionnaire, interviews, and we provided FlowState with relevant assets and documents from our business. 

The next phase was Define – After becoming integrated with our company, FlowState went on to develop our brand strategy and  messaging. FlowState also named our brand during this stage: They called a meeting where they presented us with different options that were very creative and well thought out. There was one name that immediately stood out and we felt it was the perfect name for our brand. This step was a defining moment which propelled the rest of our project along the way. 

Design – This was the most exciting stage as we literally got to see our brand come together. FlowState arranged a meeting where they presented 3 different stylescapes which showcased 3 different directions in both our messaging and visual identity. We collaborated and selected which direction we liked most, and we discussed the elements of each that we wanted to include in our 'final' brand. After a short amount of time, FlowState organized another meeting where they presented the final stylescape. Like before, we discussed it and then went through one more iteration before we were completely happy with our beautiful new brand. 

Develop – This phase is where FlowState actualized our brand and created our landing page, UI design for our mobile application, one-pager, business card, branded letterhead, email newsletter template, presentation deck, and 4 multimedia ads. They presented each of those items to us and we either approved it as the "final", or we went through another iteration or two until we were completely satisfied with the designs. FlowState was great at collaborating with us and ensured we were happy with the work. Our custom landing page was designed by FlowState and developed by a parter of theirs. They created a custom theme in WordPress and kept it on their staging server until it was fully functioning and ready to be pushed to our live site. They handled all the technicals. 

Brand Package – Lastly, FlowState packaged up all the work they did for the project and delivered it to us. We have all the original source files and the finished files, images, and designs. Additionally, our Brand Guidelines  document (Visual and Messaging guidelines) was delivered in the final Brand Package. 

The whole project went smoothly and it was very exciting to see everything come together into a beautiful that brand we love, and that our early users love.

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

There were approximately 4 members of FlowState's team that worked on the project. A project manager, a copywriter, a designer, and a creative director.

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

We are currently in beta testing with limited data. However the feedback we've collected so far has been excellent. We now have a cohesive, professional, and beautiful brand and product with distinct brand imaging and clear messaging across all our touch points.

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

We were provided with a document in beginning with clear timelines, deliverables, and steps of the project. In addition to that, FlowState frequently updated us with their progress. At any given point we knew exactly where we were in the process, what was being worked on, and when to expect deliverables and meetings.

We communicated mainly through email and the meetings were on Zoom. 

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

When we first saw Tom and Shamus (the Co-Founders of FlowState), we were initially surprised as they seemed like 'youngsters'. We juxtaposed that against the large branding agencies we were looking into as they were older and appeared 'wiser'. Yet as we got talking more and we pursued the project with FlowState, they demonstrated they have what it takes. They have all the knowledge and wisdom that the large agencies have, and their depth and scope of knowledege and creativity were remarkable.

Additionally, FlowState is well versed in a wide range of capabilities. Many of the other agencies we were looking into were limited. As a startup needing a complete branding job, FlowState's wide range of expertise was exactly what we needed. FlowState's communication throughout the whole process was excellent. They reached out to us frequently with updates, when we had a thought or question it was responded to promptly, and things moved quickly.

Speed. FlowState is a smaller agency so they can work a lot faster than larger agencies, with their top guys working directly on our project. Most importantly, the quality of their work is the most impressive thing about FlowState. We saw remarkable creativity, expertise, and knowledge in FlowState Branding's work. We love our new brand and couldn't imagine going with anybody else.

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

We can't suggest areas for improvement. We are very happy with their work and their process was thorough and smooth.
