BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO and co-founder of RedCat Ltd, a development company. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Qream?

We were in the process of developing our marketplace platform. However, at that point, our expertise focused only on specific areas. We decided to outsource part of the development process to Qream. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Qream’s scope of work is to design our mobile app, which is a marketplace for designers based in the UK. Our main focus is on UI/UX Design, so we’ve conducted exploratory research. From there, we’ve moved on to create mobile screens and dashboards. The team has helped us implement integrations for video chats and blockchain. They also help us on account management. 

What is the team composition?

We work with a project manager, two designers, and a delivery manager. In total, we’ve engaged around five teammates. 

How did you come to work with Qream?

Qream was referred to us by a couple of people. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested around $80,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

The engagement started in April 2023, and it’s ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Qream is one of the few agencies I know that follow best practices. The mood board, style guide, project book, and informational architecture they’ve created have been super detailed from a UI/UX perspective. Simply put, they work exactly as they are supposed to — something that rarely happens in the design world. 

The team has a great vision for design, and their work has been truly innovative. Their designs are ahead of their time.  

How did Qream perform from a project management standpoint?

Qream is always on schedule, which is important to me. On top of that, they’re extremely meticulous and precise, and their resources ask a lot of questions. 

For tools, we use Jira as the project management tool. We also have shared dashboards to track their work's progress. Additionally, we’ve had two meetings per week — one on Mondays, and one on Tuesdays — where we conduct planning sessions. For urgent things, we usually call them. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

The way they collect requirements for the design work is amazing. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren’t any. Everything is okay with them. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be ready to ask many questions, and know that everything they do has a purpose, so trust them. 

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the producer of the Ukrainian musical project Authentix. We collaborate with famous Ukrainian artists, and musicians in particular, making folk culture grow

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

As the war started in our homeland, we asked Qream to make us video animation for our patriotic song, that described the current situation from Ukrainian perspective, and therefore to encourage our people stay strong and united against mutual Russian aggression.

SOLUTION

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

I chose this vendor, when our mutual friends from showbiz recommended it to me. I viewed Qream's works, and their style resonated with me a lot

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

First I sent the song to the CEO of Qream - Bohdan. I explained what this song is all about and then described how I would see the final video to it. It was not necessary for me to control all the details; being an artist myself and having a lot of experience working with artists, I noticed that the best results occur when there's much space for creative process.

Therefore I gave the direction where to move, but let the Qream take charge of all the other details, and encouraged them to propose as many of their own creative solutions as possible.

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

I communicated directly with CEO Bogdan. It was easy to explain my remarks to him, and after each time he showed the progress of the video, I was happy to notice that all my feedback was very well understood and executed. What I also liked about the Qream approach is that very often Bohdan proposed their own creative solutions to the details I couldn't understand how to solve on my own.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

After releasing the video into the world I got some attention from other Ukrainian music producers and artists, what led me to new collaborations. One of them is with Milos, who is considered to be one of the greatest producers in the post-soviet space.

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

Because I communicated directly with CEO - Bohdan, and because we were on the same wavelength, it was quite easy for me just telling him what I wanted in my own words, sometimes even giving him intuitive hints. He neatly delivered my tasks to his animators, because after each milestone I was happy with the results, I received what I asked for. In general all the process of creating video from start to finish went smoothly for me.

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

Their approach to me, and to our mutual work. It seemed to me that Qream was not a vendor but rather a collaborator (in a good sense). During our creative process I discovered that we have very similar values as artists and also as human beings.

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

I would happily make some points for improvement, as I think constructive criticism is the best thing ever one can give in order to make others progress, but I haven't found any yet.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the director of a social enterprise called Next Tech Girls, set up by tech recruitment company Empiric in 2016. We aim to inspire teenage girls to pursue future careers in tech, to get more women in the industry. We do this through work experience placements, online events and training courses.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

All of our branding had been done several years ago in-house and wasn't very exciting or appealing to our target audience (teenage girls). We really wanted to completely refresh our branding, especially for social media, to attract teenage girls to join our events and sign up for our placements, so that we could reach them directly rather than having to find them via schools, which can be a slow and difficult process.

We wanted the new branding to be colourful, modern, exciting, creative and young, and we wanted everything to be customisable for social media.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We spoke to a few different companies and compared their offerings. Qream was our favourite by far for several reasons - mostly because their previous work was so fresh and modern and we trusted that they would be able to design something exciting for us that fit our brief.

We also really liked that the project manager and designer working with us would be young women, as that meant they could relate to our target audience. Plus the price was excellent and our Head of Marketing had worked with them in a previous role so we were able to get direct, honest (and very positive) feedback from him!

Describe the scope of their work in detail, including any steps and the final deliverables.

We wanted a new logo, colour palette, typography and social media marketing assets, as well as some merchandise and slide deck templates. The whole process felt very collaborative, they ran some workshops with us to understand what we liked and what we didn't like and to guide the direction. They took our feedback on and made as many changes as we wanted until it felt right. They always gave us a few different options to choose from and we could even combine elements from different options.

Everything was completed on time, despite having a short deadline, and the quality was beyond what we imagined. They even created more assets than agreed (I think because they really enjoyed the project) and everything is customisable so we have endless options for social media, which is so helpful.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We mostly worked with the project manager and designer, but we also had contact with a strategy lead, marketing manager, COO and the CEO even joined one of our meetings early on to make sure we were happy with the initial direction.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We've had so many compliments on our new branding, we're proud to show it off to people now! Our partnerships deck is much more impactful and we're getting a lot more interest in working with us since sharing it. We've also made our social media look so much better and our followers have increased by 50% in the last two months!

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

Communication was great, we had meetings around once a fortnight, sometimes more often to check tweaks. In between we communicated via Slack and they were always very quick to respond and very helpful.

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

I loved the passion that everyone had for this project. I could tell that they were really enjoying working on it and were actually sad when it was over! They put so much into it, even producing more assets than requested. They clearly understood our brief and what we were looking for but managed to go beyond what we were imagining and come up with something truly unique that really sets us apart from our competitors.

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

No areas for improvement, I just hope to be able to work with them again in the near future!

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I work for a fundraising organization that supports education, science, and sports in Ukraine. I’m responsible for overseeing fundraising operations for our projects and teams.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Qream?

When we established our company, we didn’t have a visual presence, so we engaged Qream to design and develop our brand identity.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We met with Qream to present our mission and vision and discuss our project goals. After reviewing our requirements, the team drafted four brand concepts, including different logos, color schemes, fonts, and visuals.

After presenting the brand identities to our president, we chose the concept to move forward with, and the team executed the final draft. Qream developed different logo versions, presentation templates, and business cards for the final draft. They also supplied us with brand guidelines that outlined how to use the color schemes and logos. 

Qream has also developed our website from scratch to match our new brand identity. The website is an informational landing page that raises awareness for our company. Users can visit the site to learn more about our programs, projects, and recent news in one place. We plan to work with them on marketing and SEO efforts in the future.  

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with an art director, two designers, and two developers from Qream.

How did you come to work with Qream?

We found Qream through a recommendation from our business network.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested about $30,000–$35,000 in the partnership with Qream. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve worked with Qream since January 2022. We paused the partnership for a few months after they assisted us with branding initiatives and started back up again to work on developing our website. The partnership is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The branding and website development efforts from Qream have helped increase our online visibility. They’ve delivered a functional, user-friendly website that has reached our target audience locally and globally, which has benefitted us. 

How did Qream perform from a project management standpoint?

Qream has performed perfectly concerning project management, and everything has gone smoothly. Although we’ve faced some challenges with the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, Qream has been flexible and still managed to meet deadlines. 

They’ve been responsive and receptive to feedback throughout the project. We’ve met via Google Meet and used Telegram to communicate between calls. Qream has also used Figma to share designs, which has allowed us to comment on designs and collaborate efficiently.  

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’ve been most impressed by Qream’s branding style and modern vision. They’ve held themselves to a high standard, which has resulted in fantastic outcomes.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I have nothing Qream could improve on; we’ve been happy with the engagement.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I’d encourage you to review Qream’s website and determine whether their style fits with your vision. If it appeals to you, then don’t hesitate to go for it and engage them.
