Human Creative

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the former VP of sales and marketing at Quva Oy, a data analytics company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Human Creative?

We hired Human Creative to create a marketing video for my former company to help attract customers. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Human Creative produced a two-minute animated video for the company that explains the company, their product, and the product's importance for a customer's business. I provided Human Creative with information about the product and what we wanted to emphasize. I also provided the company's logo, product photos, and branding guidelines. From there, Human Creative developed the storyboard and script, which I then provided feedback on. Once we finalized the storyboard, Human Creative produced the video — they showed us several video frames before beginning production to ensure they were heading in the right creative direction. 

What is the team composition?

I had a single point of contact from Human Creative, but I believe more teammates were working in the background. 

How did you come to work with Human Creative?

Human Creative contacted me, either via email or LinkedIn, and offered their video production services. They suggested making topical marketing videos and after a few discussions over the phone and Skype, we hired them. 

How much have you invested with them?

My former company invested around €5,000 (approximately $5,400 USD) with Human Creative. 

What is the status of this engagement?

This project with Human Creative was from January–February 2019. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The video quality was quite astonishing — Human Creative conveyed all of the product information we requested in a very professional way. 

How did Human Creative perform from a project management standpoint?

Human Creative met our deadlines. The project was very short, so we didn't need to use any project management tools. We typically communicated through emails, phone calls, and Skype. Although we were in different countries, Human Creative ensured that communication and collaboration went smoothly. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

The quality of the deliverables Human Creative provides exceeded my expectations. The cost-to-quality ratio was great — I was very satisfied with the partnership. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I have nothing for Human Creative to improve. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I'd advise customers to try a smaller project with Human Creative to see what their team is capable of. I'm sure Human Creative will meet or exceed expectations. 

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I was Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Financial Officer for Credimarks, a start up savings and loan created to serve low income cocoa farmers in Ghana.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Human Creative, and what were your goals?

Human Creative created a 3 minute animated video that told the story of the problem our company sought to solve, our strategy for doing so and of the people who founded our company.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We were contacted by Human Creative at the same time we were looking to briefly and creatively tell potential investors and other stakeholders who we were and more importantly what we sought to accomplish. Tom was very responsive, cost effective and quickly understood who we were.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail, including the project steps and all stages of production.

We initially met with Tom and outlined our companies strategy and objectives and explained some of the hurdles we had run into telling our story. After providing Tom with some further background material, he prepared a video story of our story. I think we initially aimed for a 2.5 minute story, realized we had more to tell and ultimately settled on 3 minutes. We added sound a bit later, made a few changes and were extremely happy with the finished product.

Who did you work with and what was the feedback process like?

We worked with Tom Galecki who was a pleasure to work with. We provided timely feedback and Tom made what ever changes or adaptations we thought was needed. He did a great job of telling the story.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

People found our presentation helpful and interesting.

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

We had frequent communications with Tom in email or the phone. Human Creative was always on time.

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

They really understood our story quickly and were able to put in an animated format that held viewers' interest.

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

No. I can't think of any.
