Promoshin

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the agency manager at Crye-Leike Insurance Agency, Inc. We're a subsidiary of a large real estate company.

For what projects/services did your company hire Promoshin?

I needed a vendor to produce a video to be shown at a dozen annual kickoff meetings that are held in each region that our company has operations.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to build awareness around all of the services we offer, emphasizing our reputation as a one-stop-shop solution.

How did you select this vendor?

We asked other businesses who they’d worked with for video production, and we did some online searching. We ultimately chose Promoshin because of their price, past clients, and sample videos.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.

We started by sharing our idea with Promoshin; then we went back and forth to put together a script. They helped us finalize details like voiceovers and images. We suggested certain visuals to use, and they suggested others for us to consider.

Once everything was approved, they started shooting. It’s a two-minute video that highlights the insurance agency and other business affiliates owned by the real estate company, characterizing us as a one-stop shop. After we shot all of the content, Promoshin began the editing process. They moved around clips, added text, and put it all together in a specific style. The final video flows smoothly from one point to the next.

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

I collaborated closely with the project manager, who was extremely responsive.

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

I’m completely satisfied with the final product, and we’ve received positive feedback from the real estate agency. If we ever have to produce a video in the future, we’ll take the project to Promoshin.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

I have no complaints regarding the workflow, but I probably should've started the project earlier to give us more time.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They maintained a quick turnaround, even when we requested changes.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No, I can’t think of anything.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the head of alliances and partnerships at Compact Solutions, a niche technology company providing data lineage solutions to global Fortune 1000 firms.

For what projects/services did your company hire Promoshin?

We hired Promoshin to create a brief explainer video to highlight our flagship solution and how it brings value to our clients.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted the video to be accessible to all viewers, not just technical-minded people who generally interact with our tools.

How did you select this vendor?

I found Promoshin through a Google search for video production companies. The project cost was our primary concern, and Promoshin’s estimate was in line with our budget.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.

The video features a whiteboard with a hand-drawn depiction of the lifecycle of a data lineage being displayed along with the sources and targets for our solution. The total production time took about three months but could have been shorter if our internal team had spent less time polishing the content. Promoshin worked very quickly, all things considered.

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

Promoshin was thoroughly professional and communicative during the project. We were never unaware of our next step or the video’s progress. Their team met every promised delivery date.

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

The video was delivered on time and within our budget, and it truly showcased their creativity.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Promoshin’s team sent weekly updates and outlines for next steps, and they checked in on our progress when necessary. The project never felt out of control or off track, which I credit to their productivity.

Our original project manager left midway through the project to go on maternity leave, and our production didn’t miss a beat as they introduced a new person in that role. They kept the project moving, which was quite impressive.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I appreciated their creativity and optimism, along with the fact that they never missed a deadline.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No, nothing comes to mind.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the president and CEO of Bucklebury LLC. We’re suppliers of premium herbal supplements.

For what projects/services did your company hire Promoshin?

We needed a 30–60-second long animated welcome video to pop up when somebody visits our website.

What were your goals for this project?

To obtain a black and white cartoon that had an old look, that would invite people visiting the website to enter our store. I wanted it to give a brief description of what users can find on the site.

How did you select this vendor?

I Googled 'Top 10 Video Animation Companies 2018' and they were on the list.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.

Our production manager asked us to clearly articulate what we were looking for. I walked them through the look and feel, gave them the description of the character I wanted to see come alive in this video, and wrote a preliminary script. From there, they worked on drafts and sent me drafts to look at. We would talk back and forth, and they made several key recommendations.

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

My production manager took my suggestions, worked on them, and then sent the product back to me for feedback.

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

The finished product is outstanding, and I couldn't be happier with the result. The team was able to capture the look and feel of the video perfectly. My company logo is a similar aesthetic and we play on that ‘old-timey’ look in our company generally. The video reflects this perfectly.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It was very effective. They listened to me every step of the way and my trust in them grew as we went. By the end, I started saying, “You pick, because I trust your judgment.”

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their ability to listen, take my thoughts, and convert them into an animated video that looks exactly how I pictured it was very impressive.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No. I will use them every time I need an animated video.

We selected Promoshin because it was affordable and the flexible pricing structure was attractive.

We started with a discovery meeting, moved to scriptwriting, and then storyboarding. After the storyboard was complete, we recorded voiceovers and then began the animation and editing process.
