Mango Media

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.
 

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.

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.

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.

Introduce your business and what you do there?

I’m the director of Mookie & Boo, a wellness and lifestyle brand. We manufacture wellness products.

What challenge were you trying to address with Mango Media?

We were looking to have a video made to help boost our visibility and brand awareness in the digital media space.

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).

I met Mango Media at a tradeshow. They were professional and knowledgeable, and I decided to work with them because I thought it was the right move to help our brand.

How much have you invested with them? 

We’ve spent €1,300 (approximately $2,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

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

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.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’ve helped us convey our brand message in a simple yet beautiful way. They’ve also elevated our brand to a new level, highlighting the fact that we’re a high-end premium brand.

We have absolutely nothing to share on areas they could improve.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Mango Media knows how to do their job, and I can’t recommend them enough.

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.

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

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.

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.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m one of the co-founders of Output Sports. We’ve created technology to test many different components of fitness and wellbeing.

What challenge were you trying to address with Mango Media?

We’ve worked with Mango Media for video production to support the promotion of our products.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Mango Media has filmed several videos for us. The most recent one was a three-minute video that featured two athletes using our products. They were involved in the planning and production of that video, making sure that the style was specifically tailored to our target audience. They also handled the entire filming and videography, followed by the video editing.

Every video that they’ve created for us represents one of our products. They go through three phases every time: planning, filming, and editing.

What is the team composition?

I’ve worked with Mango Media’s managing and creative directors.

How did you come to work with Mango Media?

We found them through an email list that we had from a government body here in Ireland.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $5,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our collaboration started in November 2020, and we had two videos out by December 2020. We will continue to work with them for our future video production needs.

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

Mango Media has been great to work with throughout the whole process. They’re quick and responsive to our needs, and they’ve worked very well during the planning phases, ensuring that we’re able to get the most from every project.

They’ve identified who the end uses are and what appeals to them. They go above and beyond during the filming days, dedicating their effort and energy to filming all the different things that we want to do. It has been a dream.

They’ve also put a lot of time and effort into the editing process, giving us early feedback on the videos and considering our comments to make them better based on said feedback.

How did Mango Media perform from a project management standpoint?

Mango Media’s project management and communication are perfect. They’ve stayed within budget, and they’ve always been very quick to deliver. Furthermore, they're flexible and willing to work with us around our timelines and the availability of our athletes.

We used a tool for our earlier videos, and we’re using it now for the storyboarding process. It works quite well. We communicate over email and phone calls.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Mango Media’s attention to detail is very good, and they give us ample time to understand what we want to get from the video through storyboarding. Their cinematographic skills are impressive as well; they’re able to create aesthetically pleasing videos thanks to their good eye for films. Additionally, they have a very strong work ethic, and they’re willing to work hard to get our videos where we want them to be.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No. They’ve been a dream to work with.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Work with Mango Media and listen to their expertise. The value that they’ve added to our project has been amazing. They’ve worked with us to understand our end users and how to appeal to them, coming up with some great suggestions for the videos and implementing them really well. Engage with them and have an open process so that they can help you get the best from your project.

Please describe your company and your position there.

We commissioned Mango Media to do a video to help promote 'My Private Scheme' across all our social media platforms and to send to all present and future clients.

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

My CEO had used Mango Media in the past and had recommended them to me. Their work that is displayed on their website and their pricing were the deciding factors in going with Mango Media.

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

It was a one minute video promoting My Private Scheme, with two actors showing the full range of products and services. The project lasted from the the beginning of Nov to the end of Jan with the shoot on a crisp sunny day in Dec. We set up a detailed video plan with a strict timeline.

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

I worked with Sean and Robbie from start to finish. Coming from a finance background, it was the first time I had worked on a marketing project like this. Sean and Robbie were great at explaining all the technicalities to me in layman terms. Extremely flexible and assuring, I had little doubts and was confident on the path we were on every step of the way.

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

We got great engagement on social media across all our platforms. I had a small focus group that gave me feedback across the various edits. The video is now part of my sales pitch/process and gives our potential customers an excellent insight into the great products and services Bleeper offer.

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

The project management style was professional and flexible. Decisions that had to be made were based on a blend of information and experience. The video plan and schedule were refined during our weekly/bi-weekly video calls. No requested was ever too hard for Sean and Robbie.

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

No requested was ever too hard for Sean and Robbie. They took time to understand the product and service which helped create a great video. The shoot day was by far the most interesting part of the project. Sean and Robbie did a great job coordinating all aspects of the day.

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

Covid restricted us from meeting in person which would have helped us even more. Mango Media is a young company that is just gonna go from strength to strength.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the Founder of Perimetrocasa, a team of interior designers that aims to help people crafting their houses with our skillset.

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

We hired Mango Media to create a series of videos and photos of our interior design work to create content for our social media sites. Our goal was to showcase our work in a clean, elegant and professional fashion.

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

Their portfolio was already established with interior design work, and we loved their style. Their pricing is very competitive, their quality is brilliant, so we chose Mango Media over several other agencies whom we were also reviewing.

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

We started with a meeting online, where we discussed what they could do for us, and after agreeing on a price they shot 4 different videos of 4 different houses we worked in, along with a series of photos for each house.

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

We worked with Sean and Roberto, the two members of Mango Media. While Roberto was shooting videos Sean was taking photos. Their setup allowed them to work really quickly, and in two days we were able to capture all the content we needed. The editing process was quicker than we expected. We agreed that everything would be finalised within one week, and surprisingly, we received all the content in 3 days. We then asked for changes along with the videos and thanks to their "unlimited free revisions setup”, the price didn't increase.

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

We are constantly uploading content on our Instagram, Facebook and Youtube channel, and we are receiving great feedback. Our social image really improved after working with Mango Media, allowing us to showcase our style as best as possible while receiving much more clients as a result. We now get enquiry emails every week, allowing us to grow exponentially.

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

Their project management style was really quick and easy. We received different cuts of the video and different suggestions regarding music, mood and style of the video overall. In the end, Mango Media created a google drive folder containing different export formats of the videos and photos in order to achieve the best quality possible in the different social media platforms.

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

Mango Media really understood what we needed, and we couldn't imagine any better quality than what we received. The most impressive thing about Sean and Roberto is the speed-quality ratio and their professional approach to the project.

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

No, we are completely satisfied with their service, and we will go back to Mango Media in the future when we will need it.

We discussed the scope of the project and what I sought to achieve from it, and by the end of the day, he provided me with a very affordable quote for this project. Over several video calls, we planned a short storyboard for the project and established key frames of the video alongside the Creative Director of the company.

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

I found Sean and Roberto very easily accessible. They responded to any questions I had almost immediately, both via WhatsApp and email. The video they developed was delivered before the agreed time, and was uploaded in a shared folder they made for me on Google Drive.
