Schrödinger's Cat Laboratory

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a co-founder and managing partner of Marshmallow Marketing. We’re an outsourcing agency that serves startups and medium-sized businesses. Our main service is digital marketing but we also offer strategy and implementation, as well as creative production.

What challenge were you trying to address with Schrödinger’s Cat Laboratory?

We hired them to develop our website and help with branding when we were launching our business.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We briefed them on our needs and expectations and then they started working on the website. They built a prototype and also started designing a logo for us. After that, we had several meetings and phone calls to provide our feedback, which they implemented in the final versions. Once we approved the logo design, they started assembling a brand book for us, as well as additional presentation and marketing materials.

With regard to the website, they still provide maintenance and update it whenever we contact them.

What is the team composition?

We worked with their managing partner, a designer, and our account manager.

How did you come to work with Schrödinger’s Cat Laboratory?

We evaluated several agencies and they offered the best pricing. Their portfolio was also appealing and we liked the branding work they did for other clients. We got in touch by filing a brief on their website detailing the services we needed.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $7,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in September 2017 and wrapped up in January 2018.

They developed a very creative logo for us that’s eye-catching to our clients. Our website is really impressive and the professional design has helped us impress our clients since we launched the business.

How did Schrödinger’s Cat Laboratory perform from a project management standpoint?

We didn’t have any issues with them. Any delays happened on our side because we couldn’t decide what we wanted fast enough. They were very responsive and handled our feedback well. Whenever we gave them feedback via Skype or email, they were able to correctly interpret what we wanted and implement our changes.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re really attentive to their client’s needs. I felt like they listened well and gave us multiple design options to choose from, rather than presenting one thing and forcing us to adapt to it. With the website, we didn’t know exactly what we wanted it to look like or how best to structure it, but they used their expertise to advise us on how to optimize the site for our users.
