Mango Media

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the business development manager for a coffee roasting company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Mango Media?

We were trying to create a video for our barrel-aged coffee in Irish whiskey barrels for brand awareness, marketing, and to post on our website and social media.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Mango Media did a 30-second video for us. We sent them off the products by post, and they created it, added music, and handled everything. We initially gave them the text, but they developed the storyboard and ran the creative side.

What is the team composition?

We worked with Sean (Managing Director), Robbie (Creative Director), and an intern.

How did you come to work with Mango Media?

We won a competition. We met Mango Media about two years ago at an event; we had a stand there. They ran a competition for everyone who had a stand, and we were lucky enough to win,

We’d actually seen their work before. We really liked it, so we were happy to go on with the project.

How much have you invested with them?

It was free for us. If we’d paid, it probably would’ve been about $1,000–$2,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in November 2021, and the project lasted about three weeks.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve sent the video to possible distributors, and the feedback has been great. It’s an excellent video, and it showcases the product really well. We didn’t give them much direction, but we were delighted with what they delivered — it was very creative.

Also, we’ve gotten many followers from it; it has increased brand awareness. We’ve posted it on LinkedIn and social media and sent it to Japan because we’re looking to distribute there.

How did Mango Media perform from a project management standpoint?

They completely exceeded expectations. They delivered the project on time and within budget. We communicated through email and Zoom.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their professionalism and ability to communicate were outstanding. Moreover, they knew exactly where to hit the nail on the head. Mango Media exceeded our expectations.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think so. They should keep doing what they do.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Explain precisely what you want, and they’ll expand on it. Mango Media listened to us and understood our product; it was easy to work with them.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of Bambooth, an innovative biodegradable toothbrush company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Mango Media?

We hired Mango Media to produce videos for our digital marketing campaign. We also used their photography services a couple of times.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We had Mango Media photograph our toothbrush products for one of our marketing campaigns and again for our formal website. In our most recent project, Mango Media produced four videos for our digital marketing campaign. Each of the videos was around 45 seconds to a minute long. 

Their team took care of casting the models, sourcing the voiceover artists, and organizing the location of the shoot. We didn’t have to do a thing on our end as they provided everything from pre- to postproduction. 

What is the team composition?

We worked directly with Sean (Managing Director) and Roberto (Editorial Designer)

How did you come to work with Mango Media?

I met Sean at a trade show in 2019. He gave me his card and we’ve worked with his team a few times since. They’re exceptionally creative and require very little guidance or spoonfeeding, which makes us want to work with them over and over again. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around €3,000–€4,000 (approximately $3,400–$4,500 USD) so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We first met the team in June 2019. We will continue to use their services going forward.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have yet to launch three of the four videos that Mango Media produced for us, but from our point of view, they’ve captured our tone of voice perfectly. Compared to the other marketers that we’ve worked with in the past, this team has the ability to understand our brand on an intellectual level. Everything that they’ve made for us so far has been clean, smooth, and crisp. Their work requires little to no iterations as well; they’re able to meet and exceed our expectations at the very first submission.

How did Mango Media perform from a project management standpoint?

Mango Media has performed excellently on this front. They’ve kept the entire process fun yet innovative. They’re imaginative, punctual, and really enthusiastic about their work. Partnering with them has been really cost-effective for us.

We typically communicate via email, WhatsApp, and Zoom.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’ve worked with a huge amount of marketers at this point, and Mango Media’s creative outputs just stand out by a mile. They’re very passionate about what they do, and they have an enthusiasm to keep making things better with whatever tools and skills they have.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I can’t fault them for anything. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Even though we’re a busy company, we’ve gone out of our way to leave a good review for Mango Media. That’s not something we do often, so I think it already speaks volumes about them.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there? 

I’m the owner and managing director of Scribble and Stone, Ltd. We’re an Irish jewelry brand, and we manufacture and sell jewelry products to retailers and online.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Mango Media?

We needed to have some video production done.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Mango Media created two short videos that were under two minutes, which showcased our products and services. We provided the script, and they did everything else, including filming, editing, and audio mixing. The team filmed at a trade event and rendered our videos at our studio. The videos followed a documentary style and they finished it in collaboration with our internal team. They continue to work for us.

What is the team composition? 

We’re working with two people from Mango Media.

How did you come to work with Mango Media?

They approached us at a trade show, and we reached out to them when we needed these videos made.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent €2,000 (approximately $2,200 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

Our ongoing relationship started around November 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The feedback we've received has been positive, including from people from marketing. However, we haven't fully launched our videos yet. We’re quite happy with Mango Media’s work, and we’ll continue to use their services. Overall, they’ve met our expectations. 

How did Mango Media perform from a project management perspective?

We communicate via calls, Zoom, and WhatsApp.

What did you find most impressive about them? 

Mango Media is approachable and enthusiastic. They’re also willing to work with clients on cost, making their services reasonable and affordable.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Share exactly what you want so they know what the focus needs to be.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and CEO of Soothing Solutions Ltd., a manufacturer of biophysical products to help young children with sore throats and dry cough.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Mango Media?

We needed some social media video content for our first product launch.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Mango Media and our content creation team planned the timeline, style, team, type of shots and video footage we’d capture, and so on. They filmed for a whole day, and we took still shots from the videography material. Mango Media provided their own equipment and studios, and they handled the video editing and audio mixing.

Since our products are for children, we had four mothers and 14 children, myself, my co-founder, and the digital marketing team on the project. We staggered the sessions due to COVID-19, so they weren’t there altogether. At times, it was very chaotic because the children ranged from 2–11 years old. However, the crew’s personality shone through. They never got stressed, and they were always smiling — working with children didn’t phase them. On the contrary, their energy and enthusiasm kept everyone else’s energies up high, and we got some great footage thanks to them.

Last month, we needed to do a voiceover and edit the video, and they helped with that.

What is the team composition?

We worked with the managing director and another person.

How did you come to work with Mango Media?

They initially reached out to me in March 2020 when we were all in lockdown. They came across my business through LinkedIn and asked if we had any videography needs. I explained that we would need it in the future, so they sent me their pricelist. We had a Zoom call to discuss concepts — they had really positive energy and seemed quite competent. When we needed the videography services, we followed up with them.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent €1,500 (approximately $2,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from August–November 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They went above and beyond the brief. We hired them for three days of post-production and a full day of filming, but they still check in with us to see if we need anything else from the footage. It was amazing to work with Mango Media; they gave us more than we asked for.

Overall, the video has accomplished what we hoped it would and more — it’s our launch content to introduce ourselves and our product to the world. We’ll launch the product until January, but we already had a test audience. Our target audience was mothers — all of them had huge smiles on their faces or actually cried with the video because it was so wonderful.

We also shared it with our distributor and pharmacy buyers. They stocked the products based on the videos because they thought we’d reach the target audience. Additionally, the video will be used for Facebook and Instagram, as well as on the websites of our pharmacy partners in Ireland. All in all, Mango Media has completely exceeded all of our hopes and expectations.

How did Mango Media perform from a project management standpoint?

They were brilliant and fantastic. We didn’t have anything to complain about. In the beginning, we declared a plan for the project, and they delivered as promised.

We used email and WhatsApp to communicate.

What did you find most impressive about them?

On the day of the video shoot, they had the calmest presence. We didn’t feel like we had a camera shoved in our faces. Mango Media’s team was laid back and relaxed with their direction; it was a real natural feel. Their energy was very positive, and it was really nice to work with all of them. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I’d love to find fault with something, but I can’t. They were great at what they did.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Have direct communication with them. They’ll want to meet in advance to chat about your concept and vision for the result. They’ll also send you a list of shots if anything is missing. Overall, the team is flexible, even on the shoot day. If you think of something on the day, they’ll accommodate it. They’re brilliant.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of a music publishing company based in Ireland. I’m also an artist and musician in the company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Mango Media?

Our original videographer canceled on us last minute, so we needed to hire someone else to produce a pair of videos for us: a music video and a promotional video. Both videos had to be shot from a live performance. We also wanted the first video to be high-energy, while the second one was more candid.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

After explaining to them what we wanted to achieve for each video, Mango Media quickly started with the production process. They provided everything we needed in terms of equipment and all the other products we thought we would need. They even gave us a full breakdown of what they were going to bring.

Following that, they proceeded with the shooting, capturing all the visuals we needed efficiently. They did well in directing the talents and incorporating our requirements into the videos, especially with the addition of sound effects, background noises, filters, and certain special effects. It took them just 3–4 rounds of edits to complete each video — they were actually able to finish editing the music video the day after it was shot.

We’ve also already hired them to work on two other video projects, which heavily involve a lot of scriptwriting and storyboarding. We’re getting ready to start on this soon.

What is the team composition?

I work with about 20 people from the Mango Media team, including Robbie (Creative Director) and Sean (Managing Director).

How did you come to work with Mango Media?

We found them through a recommendation, specifically from two people.

How much have you invested in them?

We’ve spent about €1,800 (approximately $2,000 USD) — €1,500 for the first video and €300 for the second one.

What is the status of this engagement?

I started working with them in September 2021, and our engagement is still ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Mango Media has done a great job in terms of the quality of each video. To be precise, they implemented all the elements we requested in a clever manner, including the special effects, color grading, audio, etc. Overall, they made sure the videos turned out exactly as envisioned.

How did Mango Media perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management style is really good — in fact, it takes them no more than a day to apply edits and include our feedback. This is also one of the main reasons why I decided to work with them on other projects.

For communication, we have a WhatsApp group, wherein we share most of our feedback, ask questions, and make edit requests. We use email for payment transactions and other business-related concerns.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re a pleasure to work with — they’re very personable and professional, and their turnaround time is impressive.

Are there any areas they could improve on?

I honestly can’t think of anything they need to improve on, and I don’t have anything to complain about. It’s been a pleasant experience overall.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Get in touch with them as soon as possible and give them enough lead time to prepare for your project.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the marketing manager for Liffey Distributors, a national distributor of Husqvarna machines in the Republic of Ireland.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Mango Media? 

We wanted to capture content for our social media campaigns, and Mango Media helped us with that.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’ve worked on film shoots with Mango Media. Initially, I provided a project brief to them, and then they came back to us with costing and solutions. From there, they guided us through the best ways to shoot the content we needed. The team also ensured that the content we were shooting was up to date in terms of social media content. For post-production, they made changes based on our requirements; the deliverable then went through many edits. 

So far, Mango Media has produced 6–7 videos of varying lengths — some of them are 15 seconds long, while others are 30 seconds long. They’ve also provided us suggestions around the production style we should use to make the videos look more polished and advanced. They’ve also used their own equipment to shoot the videos while recommending changes around video and audio mixing. 

At present, we have an ongoing project for a dealer conference. They’re producing content for our internal network, too. 

What is the team composition?

I work with Sean (Managing Director) and Robbie (Creative Director).

How did you come to work with Mango Media?

I found them through a generic Google search. I liked the style of their website, which was modern, sleek, and aligned with how I wanted to represent our brand. In other words, the way they presented themselves to customers was highly positive. It assured me that they had a certain level of style in themselves. 

On top of that, I looked at their showreel, and it was impressive. I also looked into their previous works, and they seemed to be highly creative and cool. At that point, I thought it would be great to tap into them as a resource. As a result, I hired them. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around €10,000 (approximately $11,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in June 2021, and the engagement is ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve sent the videos to our internal teams and network, and the response has been phenomenal. Meanwhile, Mango Media has been highly engaged with us, ensuring that they’re offering the best services that they can. The team has taken the time to know our business and the skill sets that we need. Moreover, they’ve been accommodating. Their resources work around our schedule, making sure that everything is moving forward as quickly as possible. 

When it comes to issues, Mango Media is highly attentive. They’re great at telling us what they think will work best for us, ensuring that they capture everything I need. Overall, they’ve gone above and beyond in terms of challenging us in a healthy way to reassess how we should produce our video content for social media. Now, we have high-quality social media content, thanks to Mango Media’s recommendations for shooting techniques and editing processes. 

How did Mango Media perform from a project management standpoint?

Our projects are extremely well-managed. Mango Media puts forward a personal relationship with me as their customer, and they’re fully committed to delivering based on my expectations. The people I work with are both extremely professional. They have different expertise, but they work together to give me in-depth services. They cover all the bases and provide everything I need from a media production company. 

To communicate, we use emails, phone calls, and WhatsApp messages, and they’re always quick to respond. They’re easy to get in contact with, especially when we need to make any changes or updates. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Mango Media resources are highly personable. Other agencies give us a bread-and-butter type of package; they give us the standard service, and they do that for everyone else. 

By contrast, Mango Media looks at each of their customers uniquely. They assess their client’s needs and match their skills with those needs to produce something different from anything they’ve produced for anyone else. As a result, their competitors cannot produce anything near the quality of what Mango Media delivers. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren’t any. Any issue that comes up is solved so quickly that it becomes a non-issue; they’re always open to critique. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Know what you want, and Mango Media will be happy to listen to you. They’ll also be happy to give as much advice as possible. In short, the engagement will depend on what customer type you want to be. The team is flexible; they can be hands-on with your project or follow your instructions strictly. 

For context, I’ve been quite removed from some of our projects; I let them take creative leadership. Meanwhile, I’ve also been stringent on other projects; I know exactly what we want, and the Mango Media team adapts to it. Overall, engage them in what you believe is the best and most comfortable way. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the artist and designer behind JOKAMIN. I design silk scarves, including luxury bags, cushions, and notebooks, based on my own original artworks.
 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Mango Media?

I asked Mango Media to create a video for me that would help me show people what I do and the inspiration behind my artworks. I wanted it to look like a documentary video, where they feature me as an artist. I plan to post it on my website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I gave them a brief of what I wanted to achieve with the video, as well as suggestions around what I wanted to include. They understood everything straight away, and we proceeded with the work as a team.

We finalized the full program and scheduled a date for the video shoot. On the shoot date, they brought all the equipment and filmed me for the entire day in different locations, including the beach, library, and bookstore. They then sent me the best shots they took, which beautifully captured everything I wanted in a poetic manner. This actually gave me a difficult time choosing the best parts because there were so many great shots.

Mango Media also gave me suggestions along the way — in fact, they were able to find some music that totally resonated with me, and we ended up using it for the video.

What is the team composition?

I worked primarily with Sean (Managing Partner) and Robbie (Creative Director).

How did you come to work with Mango Media?

They approached me at a tradeshow. After our conversation, I already knew that I would enjoy working with their team — I felt so comfortable around their presence, and they weren’t pushy. I also had a look at their website, and I was very impressed with the videos that they’ve done. Hence, I decided to hire them based on their personality and previous work.

How much have you invested in them?

I spent about €1,500 (approximately $1,700 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

Our engagement started in November 2021, and we completed the project within the same month.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The video turned out great — it was poetic and everything flowed well. More importantly, viewers also loved it and got a better understanding of what I do. I plan to email my subscribers soon to get feedback from a broader audience. 

How did Mango Media perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicated regularly through various platforms, such as WhatsApp, Google Meet, email, and phone. They always responded quickly.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They were professional, and they really understood what I wanted to achieve through the video. Overall, they delivered exactly what I wanted.

Are there any areas they could improve on?

No. I was very happy with the service and would hire them again.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure to clearly set your goal and expectations. This really made the entire process easier, quicker, and fun because everyone was always on the same page.

With any new technology product it can be hard to get across what it does and how it works in text or images, so we decided we needed to create a video.

I had met the team when they were filming at another event and was impressed with the way they worked, so was delighted to get an opportunity to do something together

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

We did a couple of sessions and calls with their team before we did any filming. We shot video over a number of different days and events and Mango produced the results into a few different shapes and sizes that we could use in different places like linkedin, twitter, etc..

I worked with Sean and Roberto and talked through the messages that i wanted to get out. They were really great and helped show me what was possible. They were really great to work with and never seemed stressed by some tight timelines

It was fabulous to work with the team at Mango media.. I started off asking for a video, but they delivered beyond our expectations — the end result was a work of art.

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

We had a bunch of interconnected events and product launches with tight deadlines, so I asked them to communicate through email and whatsapp to keep things moving. It worked great

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

I like the way their team is so enthusiastic and ambitious. They bring this energy to each project and looking forward to the next piece of work together

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

No, everything was great

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We discussed our brand message and what we wanted to happen to Mango Media through a meeting. They did everything from scriptwriting, choosing the music, and identifying the style of the video. The team also shot the video in my own studio, and they brought their equipment with them.

The video showcased our brand story and it featured me talking about my brand. Once we launch our new website, we’d post the video they created. They did product photography, too, and they’re now working on a video project for another product.

What is the team composition?

I work directly with Robbie (Creative Director) and Sean (Managing Director).

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in May 2020, and it’s ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The video is beautifully done, and it causes people to want to watch it to the end. Due to that, our product began selling within 24 hours of the video being posted online. Additionally, the video introduction post on our Instagram is the most engaged post we’ve ever had. Mango Media has done an excellent job, and we will continue to partner with them on video projects.

How did Mango Media perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re professional, and they excel at what they do. On top of that, they're highly responsive, and they work quickly to deliver what they promise. We collaborate with them through email and calls.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Co-Founder of Chrome Vintage - a premium online vintage store that sells men and womens fashion wear. At Chrome Vintage, we repurpose used clothes and stylise them into fashionable looks for our customer-base across Ireland.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Mango Media, and what were your goals?

We hired Mango Media to develop a video that will be used for our relaunch this November. As a result of Covid-19, our company ceased trade, but as of November 2021, Chrome Vintage will be relaunching with new items and a new brand look. To assist in this relaunch, we contracted Mango Media to develop a video that would promote our campaign and help reach a greater target audience

SOLUTION

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

We came across Mango Media on Clutch, and having seen that the company has worked with big fashion brands such as Gucci, we decided to opt for this agency as we felt that it was best fit for the video we wanted developed.

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

From start to finish, the video development process was very simple. I first reached out to Mango Media by leaving my name and email address in their website contact form, and within just a few hours, Sean from Mango Media emailed me. From there, I discussed my video needs over several conference calls with Sean and Robbie until they really understood my needs for this project. On the day of the shoot, everything was very straight-forward.

Sean and Robbie were highly professional, and frequently consulted with me to ensure that my immediate input was factored into the shooting process. This is something that I greatly appreciated, as it created a strong team dynamic between Chrome Vintage and Mango Media. Within days later, Sean and Robbie sent me the first cut of the video, and it looked absolutely great. I advised on several changes, and they had them complete within 24 hours upon request.

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

As mentioned previously, I worked with Sean and Robbie throughout all stages of this video's development. I found both individuals to be highly responsive to my needs, while also being incredibly flexible in facilitating the ins and outs of my content requirements.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Currently, this video has not been officially released, but having shown a number of colleagues, friends, and family members, the response received has been brilliant. I’m extremely excited for our relaunch this November to measure just how successful this video will be from a customer engagement and sales perspective.

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

The project management process was carried out with professionalism and ease. One element that stood out for me in particular was the communication process. Sean and Robbie’s flexibility to liaise via my preferred method of communication - WhatsApp - was highly appreciated, as it enabled prompt responses to any queries, comments, or requests I had, while also creating more of a team dynamic between their business and ours.

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

Mango Media’s pricing strategy is what I found to be most impressive. Delivering an exceptional video at an affordable price is something I found to be extremely unique to this agency. Before I decided to work with Mango Media, I received several quotes from other agencies, which were more expensive with a seemingly lesser standard of video production.

However, pricing aside, I would highly recommend Mango Media, purely for their level of professionalism, customer-focus, and above all else, stellar standard of video production.

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

No. Working with Mango Media has been such a pleasure for us.
