Gambix

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I have an entertainment company, and my main focus is a girl group composed of three young ladies.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Gambix LLC?

We hired Gambix to create a game for the group. The game was another way of enhancing the girls’ image and having something else out there for their audience. Some years ago, we had an app that the girl group used at a radio show. With that app, we could replay their shows with our guests. We also gave t-shirts and allowed users to win different things. Eventually, we wanted to expand on that and do something a little differently since we’d moved more into the music side of things and less into radio.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

In the beginning, we went back and forth with Gambix as we tried to come up with something that made sense. We played around with ideas, and they sent me character designs. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, our progress slowed down a bit; in fact, everybody was shut down for a while. Eventually, we came up with a game concept. The goal was to keep our fans engaged, so we put together a game that was related to the girls in the group. 

At present, I constantly talk to Gambix about things that can be added to the game through a series of emails and conference calls. In that sense, we’ve had a fair amount of documentation. The main feature and fun of the game are seeing the girls. In it, users can select the girl that they want to play to run to the stage. They may be coming out of an office or a hotel, and they need to run down the street to get to the said stage. 

Obstacles are present along the way. To keep the game girly, the characters need to step over some diamonds. If they fall, a paparazzi comes out to take a picture of the character, which happens in real life — we don’t see the paparazzi until we do something we don’t want them to see. We’ve started with a basic design, but we continue to work with Gambix to keep the game interesting and keep people engaged by it. 

What is the team composition?

We work with two people from Gambix. 

How did you come to work with  Gambix LLC?

I found them at an event where the group was performing. We started talking, and they followed the girls on Instagram. I didn’t know that they did anything related to gaming; it just came up in a conversation, and we went from there. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent less than $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in December 2018, and the project is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our target demographic is in the age range the group is in. A big percentage of that is men between 17–30 years. It turns out that their little brothers and sisters grab the game from them; more kids are playing the game because it’s not hard to play. In fact, the kids are a lot better at the game than the target audience. In other words, Gambix has created a game that’s open for all ages. 

Moreover, there aren’t any bugs per se in the game, though we’ll be upgrading it. Meanwhile, when we ask Gambix to change the colors and outfits of the characters based on the song that the group has released, the team turns that around quickly. In short, they take care of anything that we need to address. 

How did  Gambix LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

In terms of project management, Gambix meets our expectations, and their work is within our budget. We also don’t have any real deadlines, which is great because it means there’s no pressure on them. That’s our way of making sure that everybody can do their best work. To communicate, we use phone calls, emails, and text messages. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their personal touch is impressive. The Gambix team is reachable, and it’s easy to talk to them. That stands out, especially to somebody like me who's not technically savvy at all. They patiently explain things to me so that I can understand what’s possible and what might be impossible to do in the game. There’s been no judgment; they’ve been truly personal and supportive with what they do. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s been a time when I talk more to one person than the other, though that’s likely because of the COVID-19 pandemic. That being said, I can always get to either one of them to get things done or answer questions.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Try to have a good idea of what you want so that Gambix has a feel for your goals. In other words, be totally honest about what you want and expect, and they’ll be clear on what they should deliver. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a co-founder of a personal training business. It’s called New Generation Soccer Academy.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Gambix LLC?

I contacted Gambix to make the website more compatible for users and implement an easy way to offer payment opportunities. We wanted to create a prepaid opportunity for people before the start of their training session.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’re frequently meeting to create the website’s layout. Gambix works on not only the design but also the website's features. They’re helping us upload videos and photos for training. Their team’s also creating a calendar, so clients can click the calendar to book training sessions. They’re also in the process of connecting the site with Square so clients can pay online. Their team synced my Instagram and Facebook profiles with it.

What is the team composition?

I’ve only talked with one person from Gambix LLC.

How did you come to work with Gambix LLC?

I found them through a referral.

How much have you invested with them?

So far, I’ve spent $400 on the project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in March 2020, and it’s an ongoing partnership.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I just wanted a website that would help with my business. Gambix helps with that goal, and we’re still working on the project. Their team’s helpful in creating my vision for the website, which is for it to be able to process payments and showcase my business. I’m extremely satisfied with the process so far.

How did Gambix LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

Earlier in the project, we met over Zoom so I could see how the website would work. About every two weeks, we meet to upload new features onto the website. I usually send Gambix an email and set up a time to connect. They call and then we review their progress. Their team’s efficient and sufficiently meets deadlines.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their team responds to my feedback as soon as possible. I feel like I’m talking with a family member. If I have any concerns, they’re able to handle them in a proper manner.  

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I can’t think of anything off the top of my head.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be specific about what you want. That gives them a framework for how to proceed. They have a lot of different parts to their business, so focus on being specific. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted but after talking with them a couple of times, I realized how I wanted the website to look. The project will be more efficient if you specifically know what you want.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of a small women-owned startup.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Gambix LLC?

I hired them to create a logo for my company. I worked with another company initially to create my site and logo, but the work was subpar. I reached out to Gambix to see what they could do.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I had a similar logo concept that I wanted them to recreate. That logo was owned by someone else, and the other provider told me that they could procure it for me. Another company ended up purchasing it.

I sent a copy of it to Gambix. The team was able to create a similar logo for me. They did a lot of research and shared ideas to get my approval.

What is the team composition?

I mainly worked with Claudius (Solutions Architect).

How did you come to work with Gambix LLC?

I’d known Claudius in the past. When I found out that he took this career path, I was pretty impressed. After researching web providers, we reconnected. I asked if his company could provide this service, and he sent over his previous work and portfolio. Claudius took the time to provide that they had the capabilities to provide the service I was looking for. He didn’t use the fact that we knew each other, which impressed me.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent only $30.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together in January 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The team provides a timely and stellar service. Their responsiveness gave me my logo in a timely manner. It was professionally done and to my liking. I sent it out on social media to my friends, family, and colleagues. They were all ecstatic about the quality of work.

A friend of mine wants them to build their website. My father also wants to work with them.

How did Gambix LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

All of my communication was with Claudius. He facilitated everything with his team on the backend.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They put the client first. Their team focuses on the client experience, which separates them from other providers.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, not in my book. For the work they’ve provided, I’m very impressed.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be open and clear on what you’re looking for. Gambix will deliver.

They took the ideas that I had and brought them to life. I was impressed.

They were able to collect all of the necessary information and then quickly turned around the logo.

It was easy to communicate with them. They took the information that I gave them and brought my vision to life. Their team was willing to work with me. All in all, I was impressed with Gambix.

Are there any areas they could improve?

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Gambix LLC?

We needed help getting our website up and running. Our customer base was solely being conducted through word of mouth and social media.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Gambix LLC created a web platform that helps our customers take and receive payments. Within our package, we get assisted interaction with their customer service. They stay with us throughout the entire process to update it.

In the first phase of the project, we sat down and talked about what I wanted to do with the website and what they could provide with that. Then we discussed how we could come up with something user friendly based on my ideas.

Once we had the content completed, that’s when we started with the website creation. They asked information about our target audience and where we planned on marketing to. From there, they offered different packages.

What is the team composition?

We worked with Julian (CEO).

How did you come to work with Gambix LLC?

I knew Julian and told him I needed a website. That’s when I learned about Gambix LLC. Once I saw the draft and vision, I decided that would be the company I would work with.

I spent $350 in total. It cost $75 to get everything up and running.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in November 2020, and our work is ongoing.  

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

They took it a step above creating a website. They made sure it was visually appealing and exactly what I was describing. The process wasn’t rushed at all. They always gave me alternatives on how we could fix it.

How did Gambix LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

They did a great job. The entire team was proficient in Agile and Scrum. We communicated via email, phone, face-to-face, and Google Meets.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their customer service was great, and it’s not hard to reach to them. They responded back in a few hours. Their quality of work is great. The team always makes sure the final deliverable is what you want it to be.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, not at this time.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

My advice is to know what you want before you contact them. Have a laid-out plan of exactly what you want and how you want it to look. They’ll help you create a plan but it helps to have a detailed plan laid out.
