Prolific Studio

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the president of SWEAT IT OUT® COOL COMPRESSION®. We make compression garments to help people recover from muscle injuries.

What challenge were you trying to address with Prolific Studio?

Most people don’t stop to read the labels on their clothing. They listen to commercials or statements or posts or pictures and then make their decision. Further, young kids are growing up wearing clothes made by big brands that don’t care about their health; they only care about promoting their logo. We wanted to explain to people that our compression garments can prevent muscle injury and help them rehabilitate much quicker than they would without them.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Prolific Studio created an animated video for us. I explained to them what I was looking for — I wrote what I wanted the voiceover to be, and they created everything surrounded it. After two weeks, they showed me what they had, and I told them what to correct or how to correct things that I thought could be improved.

We cut the video down to 36 seconds, which included a slide at the end with information about how to purchase the product.

What is the team composition?

Kamal (Head of Business Development) was my main point of contact.

How did you come to work with Prolific Studio?

I saw an advertisement on the internet about animation, and I thought animation would communicate my products’ value well because people watch a lot of cartoons and animation.

Kamal contacted me, and from day one, he was more than outstanding in the way he treated us and understood us.

How much have you invested with them?

I spent $2,000 on the video.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project ran from February–March 2021. We’re preparing to launch the video on social media.

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

The quality of the work was a ten, and the impact it will bring to me is an unknown factor. I like what Prolific Studio did, and the fact that I liked it has nothing to do with whether the public will understand it.

There are so many videos out there today, so I am looking for a 5% return on people watching the video.

How did Prolific Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

Kamal was available every time I called. He sent me emails and text messages; his messages were personable, and he understood how busy I was. Monday’s are complicated days for me, as I’m managing customers for the first time since the weekend, and Kamal knew not to expect too much communication from me on Mondays.

In general, they made sure that I received everything I needed to review and provide feedback on.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Prolific Studio’s service, understanding, listening, and communication were great. In fact, their communication was better than that of everyone else I talked to. Communication causes 90% of issues, and Prolific Studio was perfect.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I’ll find out when we put the video on social media.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Go ahead and work with them. Kamal will keep you in good hands with animation projects.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of an iOS app startup.

What challenge were you trying to address with Prolific Studio?

I needed a video presentation for a kick-starter project.

What was the scope of their involvement?

They created an animated white-board video. It had a narrator and music since it’s a musical app.

What is the team composition?

I worked with one project manager from their team.

How did you come to work with Prolific Studio?

They sent me an email and I took a look at some of their other videos. It looked like exactly what I needed, so I decided to choose them.

How much have you invested with them?

I spent $2,500.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our work took place in June 2020.

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

The promotion for the app has been going well. My whole goal was to obtain the money for licensing, since the app is music-related, which I accomplished. We also got very good view numbers when we ran the ad on Facebook.

How did Prolific Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

They were really responsive, and they got everything from the script right immediately. Whenever I made comments for improvement, they changed it quickly. We communicated via phone and email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The team was quick and responsive. I needed this done on a tight deadline, and they were able to get it done.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I’m happy with it. It was especially great for the price.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If you communicate what you want, they’ll probably be able to make it happen.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of a company that provides web development, digital marketing, and logo design services.

What challenge were you trying to address with Prolific Studio?

We had multiple client design projects that we needed help with. 

What was the scope of their involvement?

Prolific Studio did a logo design for our company. For our clients, they’ve done logo, web development, and animated video projects. I’m the middleman; I take the projects from our clients and give them to Prolific Studio.

What is the team composition?

We deal with one account manager. He updates me on the work, which he gets done with his production team.

How did you come to work with Prolific Studio?

I found them online. 

How much have you invested in them?

Overall, I’ve given them $10,000–$15,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

I started with them last year, although I don’t remember the exact month; I would say it was in the first quarter. We’re still working together and will be for the long term.

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

My clients have been happy. I would say there is a 95% satisfaction rating for the work that Prolific Studio has done for my clients. So far, my experience has been terrific with them.

How did Prolific Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

I like their process; it is very smooth and easy, and you don’t have to run after them or keep sending them emails. They just get the work done quickly and deliver on time. They send updates within 24 hours and do revisions on the website within 2–3 hours. Their process is terrific.

We communicate through email, text message, and WhatsApp. I always get a quick reply from them; they are really responsive.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’ve been most impressed by their design and website development capabilities. I would say they are the best agency I know at creative layout. I have dealt with other companies with templates and basic designs, but when I send Prolific my requirements, they come up with a whole new thing. They are creative.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They should improve on the marketing side of things. I have given them one marketing project, and it was okay. I wouldn’t give them a 10 out of 10 for that, but rather, a 7 out of 10.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Work with them; they are good. They’re not the best at digital marketing at the moment, but everything else is good.
