Unset

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CMO at a Financial Software company named Aurum Solutions. We develop reconciliation software for a wide range of industries.

For what projects/services did your company hire Unset?

We hired Unset to do several projects. From video animation to recording employee testimonials, rebranding and now a new website. We currently have an ongoing relationship and several projects happening at the same time.

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

We requested several proposals from different studios in Portugal, the UK, and the Netherlands. Unset wasn't the obvious choice; other agencies had portfolios that were more developed and with more years of experience. But after evaluating the price, the team and the proposals, we decided to choose Unset for the potential, the fair value, and the excellent team/communication skills.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

After choosing Unset to work with, the team immediately started with mood boards and inspirations so that we could set the tone right from the beginning. They also requested a list of goals and requirements, which they delivered very spot-on since the first draft. We took the process step by step, ensuring everyone was happy with each part of the video so we wouldn't have to go back and make changes at the end. When we launched, it was a success.

Not only was the team happy, but it was also very well received by our audience, with close to 70k views. After that project, they did several others that went well, from testimonial videos to our rebranding that will come out soon.

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

I tried to engage with the least amount of people possible to make work easier for both, but I believe, at this stage, we engaged pretty much with the entire team considering the wide range of projects we did together.

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

Our first video had almost 70k views, being one of our most watched videos ever. Every person we interviewed mentioned the employee testimonials as one of the reasons they wanted to work at Aurum.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was effortless and natural. The team was constantly communicating with us and aligned between them. The scopes were explicit, and the delivery dates were achieved with consistency.

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

I think the most impressive and unique thing about Unset is the team. Tiago, Simão, and Nuno, they are all brilliant and talented. Not only that, but they are honest, hard-working, and they feel like part of our team.

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

Like any other growing studio, they will deal with the pains of their business becoming bigger. But I trust they will manage.
