Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

As the leader of a small team charged with developing a new digital product offering, I enlisted Taillight's expertise for naming and visual identity creation.

The project started with a comprehensive discovery phase. This included Taillight conducting desk research to grasp our work methodology and approach, coupled with in-depth audits of competitive organizations and offerings to gain a thorough understanding of the industry
landscape.

Next, we collaboratively established a brief outlining the criteria for name selection and visual identity development.

Taillight then presented two rounds of approximately 25 name options, each crafted to align with our established brief, which demonstrated a profound understanding of our needs and vision.

After selecting a legally-approved name, Taillight proceeded to develop a complete visual identity, including a distinctive logo, color palette, and typography.

Throughout both the naming and design phases of the project, Taillight's innovative approach, coupled with their meticulous attention to detail, consistently surpassed our expectations. Their work not only met our objectives but elevated the entire branding process, setting a solid foundation for our new digital product offering.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Although the product is yet to launch, so no metrics are available as of yet, in our minds the project's success was evident in the team’s excitement with the work.

Taillight demonstrated excellent project management. They consistently met all milestones and kept us well-informed throughout the process. Their team was attentive and responsive, always addressing our needs promptly.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

In the past, our company operated as a house of brands, with multiple distinct brands functioning under their own names and identities. This structure often led to confusion for both our employees and clients, who struggled to understand the relationships between the various brands. 

Recognizing the need for a more cohesive approach, we made the decision to unite our brands under a single, unified banner. To achieve this goal, we partnered with Bruno and his team, who were tasked with developing a name and visual identity for our new umbrella brand.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Although the official launch of the new brand was only a matter of months ago, internal acceptance has been very high, and staff adoption has been near absolute. The main target of this umbrella brand—our enterprise sales reps—love the new brand and the freedom it has provided them. So while Measuring ROI is harder and unclear at this point, the anecdotal support is enormous.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

All deadlines were always met, and the Taillight team continued to push the process forward throughout the engagement. They were always thoughtful and responsive whenever a need arose.

What was your primary form of communication with Taillight?

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

I truly appreciated their support throughout the process and beyond. There were a few instances where we encountered an obstacle, and Bruno was always ready to hop on a call with me to brainstorm solutions, even months after we formally concluded the project. He and his team seem to genuinely want to help their clients.
