WANT

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I work for a local 501c(3) nonprofit organization, specializing in providing safe affordable housing and intensive life skills to former foster care and homeless youth. I work as the Grants and Community Partnerships Coordinator to facilitate relationships, provide funding solutions, market and communicate our messaging to stakeholders, and increase capacity-building opportunities.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire WANT Branding?

Over our organization's 13 year history, we have focused on providing the quality programming that shepherds youth to and through the transition from foster care into thriving independence, but our work has undergone key programmatic changes that often aren't reflected in our messaging and communications. We have tasked WANT Branding with helping us refine our messaging & communications to tell the story of our organization how we want it perceived by those outside of our organization.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goals for this project include refining our brand position, creating a concrete brand manifesto, and updating our collateral and marketing materials to reflect this new paradigm. We anticipate using these new parameters to help us frame an updated narrative of the journeys of our youth. This will help us in our fundraising efforts, and how we "sell" the work we do to volunteers, donors, funders, and even aid us in our recruitment efforts when we reach out to potential youth.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

WANT Branding was recommended to us by a current board member. We have previously explored other companies but settled on WANT Branding for their reputation in the community.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

To date, we have only completed a portion of our work together - namely the brand positioning, but we will continue working closely to bring our vision of a strong brand identity to fruition. We have set up an internal committee that meets frequently to discuss WANT Branding's recommendations, provides feedback and guidance.

Once those have been finalized, I am tasked with re-designing the material internally. Essentially I design our materials based on what is determined by our committee along with WANT Branding's staff input. The final deliverables are currently still being worked on.

What was the team composition?

Our committee is comprised of our staff, board members, and even some of our clients, working intimately with the Managing Director and a Brand Consultant. Our team has changed over time because we have been including additional voices from our staff and client-side, but the WANT Branding team has remained consistent and incredibly helpful in facilitating the discussion.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have finalized the brand positioning, and have been internally discussing our printed materials, which is further than we have gotten on our own as a team. The strength of WANT's team has been helping us refine our vision for what exactly we want.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Communication with the WANT team has been great; they are very responsive and do a phenomenal job of communicating the next steps and managing expectations. They are very receptive to each of the varying voices on our team, and they help create a unified dialogue among us all.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The strength of their portfolio and their innovative approach to their work with other nonprofits are incredible. They were major factors in why we feel so strongly about working with WANT.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No, they did a great job. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

Curvature is a global B2B IT services provider, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. Our core lines of business are maintenance and support of server storage and hardware. We also sell that hardware and the professional services that go along with those processes. I run all of the global marketing for the business, which roughly involves about 1,600 employees worldwide.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with WANT Branding?

We were rebranding the company after merging with our largest competitor, a Santa Barbara-based company.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

First, we determined with certainty whether we were going to keep one of the companies’ names. Prior to their commitment, we decided to stick with Curvature, but we needed a fresh identity, considering we had a lot of equity in the brand name. Even though we had the same name, the challenge was to evoke a fresh feel and make everyone feel part of the new brand.  

WANT Branding went through a research and discovery phase before tackling the brand strategy and identity. Their team held executive and senior-level meetings to interview key players before partnering with me on the vision and messaging. We wanted to convey what the merger meant, how it impacted our customers, and how we would be able to provide a better service with broader portfolio offerings. Going through the creative process, we also wanted the look and feel of a billion-dollar IT business with its own unique place that delivers real value and alternatives for users in the marketplace. Alongside the branding and messaging, their team redesigned our website while crafting a set of brand guidelines and book.

What is the team composition?

Jonathan (Founder & CEO, WANT Branding), Todd (CCO, WANT Branding), and Celeste (Brand Consultant, WANT Branding) worked alongside our team regularly. There were a few qualified other members of the team we worked at points.

How did you come to work with WANT Branding?

I worked with one of their partners previously at a different job in New York, and the other partner worked with the company we were merging with. There was an awareness there combined with the great experiences we had in the past.

How much have you invested with them?

We invested about $100,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We engaged with WANT Branding from March­–June 2017.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Internally, we were pleased with the look and feel and identity. Thanks to WANT Branding, we stand out in a somewhat under the differentiated marketplace. IT isn’t the most dynamic industry, but their team created a unique feel that others wouldn’t recognize in the tech world. During trade shows and other events, everyone talks about how much they love the brand. I’m happy with the results of the successful rebrand. Their work made me their biggest customer.

How did WANT Branding perform from a project management standpoint?

Working with their team was easy. Everyone was directly involved, showcasing their own skillsets. I knew who to go to for what. They each stepped in at the right time, and their associates were available as needed for execution. While we had a fast timeline, there were no issues there either.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re creatives at heart. WANT Branding knew I wanted excellent work and were aware of the audience. Their work let us stand out from competitors. They understood our business quite well but also knew what they needed to execute to make the project a success.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No. With the amount of time and scope they were given, WANT Branding did a fantastic job.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

WANT Branding is experienced and professional. With any engagement, everyone involved needs a clear definition because you don’t want to promise anything you can’t deliver on. You also don’t want to go far along in a project where both sides have different expectations. With any project you’re getting involved with, have clear deliverables and timelines. It makes for a much smoother result when everyone is on the same page. WANT Branding has a creative and business side. They always have the customer in mind, so you’re getting the full package with them. In terms of pricing, they’re not the lowest or the higher. Overall, they understand the business.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I was the vice president of marketing at a large regional casino company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire WANT Branding?

We needed a new name for our company. Our previous name was too narrow and did not address the broader aspirations of the company.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted our new name to be more appropriate and customer-facing.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I worked with them at a previous employer.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

They conducted research on brand architecture and nomenclature.

What was the team composition?

We worked with Jonathan (Founder/CEO, WANT Branding) and two other resources.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We consider the engagement a success because WANT Branding agreed that we needed a new name and helped us worked toward that goal. Ultimately, we chose a different path, but they were helpful in lighting the path for us.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Since we had a team of one on the client side, the process was fairly easy to manage.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They offered a strong knowledge of the construction of brand architecture, and they also were adept at identifying and assessing the value of brand nomenclature.

Are there any areas for improvement?

They should do a better job of illustrating the rigor required to do the work.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I was the VP of Marketing at Cardinal Health.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with WANT Branding?

We had a new division that needed a name, so we hired WANT Branding to help figure out how we can easily ensure that people will see us at the preferred specialty healthcare solutions company. Along with naming the division, their team also assisted with the brand architecture and the naming of subdivisions.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

WANT Branding was in charge of brand strategy and naming, helping to create a go-to-market plan for our new division, CHSS. There were market research and strategic components. They partnered with us on internal and external interviews, striving to understand our business to craft our brand architecture.

What is the team composition?

Jonathan (Founder & CEO, WANT Branding) and Bruno (Senior Director, WANT Branding) were the two primary contacts. There are others within the agency that we worked with as well.

How did you come to work with WANT Branding?

I hired them at my previous company, so I knew them well. After I transitioned over to Cardinal Health, I knew their quality of work and what type of organization they were. I recommended them for the projects we had.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent between $100,000–$150,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our engagement with WANT Branding took place in 2011.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We were able to get the input of the market research, and how it was resonating internally and externally. We were positioning the brand architecture around that.

How did WANT Branding perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management style was excellent. They're timely, keeping our team on task internally. Sometimes vendors are afraid to light a fire under their clients to keep projects moving. WANT Branding respectfully does this, holding our team accountable the same way we hold them.

What did you find most impressive about them?

WANT Branding quickly immerses themselves in any business. I've worked in entirely different companies, going from big pharma to working at a top health distributor. They ask the right questions to deliver on the project at hand quickly. Their team is creative and process-driven, making sure they have a strong presence at meetings but also providing the right amount of guidance. They're respectful, knowing when to sit back and listen. Sometimes there are internal debates between clients. Some vendors feel that they need to control the whole situation, while it's best for all the clients to ideate amongst their team. WANT Branding has the right balance of that.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They're not the least expensive naming or strategic firm, but I'm still going to hire them for a few naming projects I have coming up at my new role. WANT Branding isn't the type of vendor that puts things together to make the most money and get in and out as quick as possible. They start from scratch, excelling at brainstorming. Their team is hands-on during meetings, providing feedback, and making sure everything runs smoothly. Aside from pricing, which hasn't prevented me from using them, there's nothing for their team to improve on when it comes from a project deliverable perspective.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

When it comes to these types of projects, many customers feel that they can sit around, come up with any name, and it will somehow get approved by the FDA or any organization and resonate with their audience. I'm in a similar situation right now with a recently-acquired company. They had three names rejected, and now we're in the final stage of another name that isn't going to get approved. If they had used WANT Branding in the beginning, they would've avoided all of this and are now at risk of being pushed back financially. There aren't unique names anymore; it's about being strategic in piecing words together.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

At the time, I was the brand director for Jose Cuervo, a tequila brand owned by Proximo Spirits.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with WANT Branding?

We were looking for a new brand strategy and research agency to consult with us on various innovations and advertising. We were also looking for opinions across existing Jose Cuervo drinkers and other tequila drinkers.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

WANT Branding ran focus groups for us. We tested new product innovations, advertising concepts, and evaluated potential celebrity spokespeople. The groups also talked in length about their tequila drinking habits and other brands they like or dislike.

What is the team composition?

Jonathan (Founder & CEO, WANT Branding) and Bruno (Senior Director, WANT Branding) were our main points of contact.

How did you come to work with WANT Branding?

My boss at the time worked with them for a number of years at Proximo Spirits and his previous company. They worked with several tequila and vodka brands. My boss was happy with their work. After meeting them, we engaged with WANT Branding for the focus groups.

How much have you invested with them?

The project cost about $75,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with WANT Branding from February 2015 to April 2015.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The focus groups were well-executed and led to helpful insights. The groups were also well-recruited. Our team learned a lot about how people view the brand and its new advertising concepts. Sometimes consumers don’t respond to things as positively as we would've thought, so we’ve been able to make adjustments to the campaigns and receive positive affirmations on some of our plans.

How did WANT Branding perform from a project management standpoint?

They did an excellent job on the entire project. Jonathan did a fantastic job moderating the groups. His background as a strategist came across during each one. He asked probing questions on the fly and was able to adjust on the spot.

What did you find most impressive about them?

WANT Branding delivered everything that we asked for. With focus groups, there are always last-minute changes, which require flexibility. When we had groups, we were able to evaluate everything within a few short hours and receive quality value around the thoughts related to direction and innovation for the brand.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I cannot think of anything.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Take a chance on WANT Branding. There’s always a little bit of faith you have to have, but any brand or firm should have complete confidence in their ability to deliver.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I previously worked at Tessera Technologies as the head of corporate communications. Our company was a combination of three existing different businesses plus an acquired business, all to be integrated under one new corporate name and brand.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with WANT Branding?

We recently acquired another company. The goal was to merge and rename our companies as a single entity.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

WANT Branding started the process focusing on understanding our companies, the market, and the services and brand position that we wanted to establish. They came up with a list of names that would represent those elements. Their usual process was compressed and accelerated because the acquisition had been completed and wanted to introduce, list and begin using the new corporate name and brand ASAP.

What is the team composition?

We primarily worked with Jonathan (Founder & CEO, WANT Branding).

How did you come to work with WANT Branding?

I had retained a local agency to help us with rebranding, and they introduced us to WANT Branding as the resource that would handle the naming aspect of the rebranding process.

How much have you invested with them?

The services cost $35,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with WANT Branding in October 2016. The process took about six weeks.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We needed an excellent name that reflected the diverse breadth of solutions that the combined entity would offer, with a focus on delivering leading, technology-driven experiences. WANT Branding accomplished that objective. There was a tight deadline on our side, plus the complexity of responding to the varying perspectives and opinions of two sets of executives, who had only recently come together to think as an integrated leadership team for the combined entity. After several rounds of proposing, reviewing and eliminating numerous names, WANT Branding came up with a name that pleased everyone. Their team was professional and accommodating, but pushed at times when our teams needed to be made aware of delays that would jeopardize the timeline.

How did WANT Branding perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management style was excellent and juggled the many, sometimes conflicting demands placed on them. There was also a time difference with their team being on the East Coast. Despite these constraints, their team worked to an extremely-well documented process and delivered the desired result. They were able to keep everyone informed and the team provided multiple name options along with important information about availability, possible legal risks, cultural and geographic sensitivities and so on.  WANT Branding worked like a well-oiled machine and their obvious experience in naming was evident from day one. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’ve worked with many marketing professional services providers. What makes WANT Branding stand out, is that they’re easy to work and communicate with. They’re quick to assimilate themselves into the style and culture of their clients. They have a talented team who are organized and who operate using an effective and methodical workflow. It usually takes time two teams working together for the first time to warm up to the task and establish a level of trust and respect, under Jonathan’s guidance and leadership WANT Branding gain our trust and respect very quickly.

Are there any areas they could improve?

To be honest, not really. I don’t remember a time where I was wishing that things should be moving faster or in a different direction. WANT Branding was able to navigate any difficulties or challenges very elegantly.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

The biggest challenge is going to be with your internal team, not with WANT Branding. Make sure you align with all decision-makers ahead of time to ensure they’re carving enough time out of their busy schedule to provide the input that’s required from them.   Be ready to move at the speed of WANT Branding and things will probably turn out fine.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the president & CEO of a pharmaceutical research company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with WANT Branding?

We needed assistance in creating a logo and with naming.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I believe our company was one of their first customers. While we didn’t initiate a project with them in the beginning, I maintained contact with them before we started the project.

WANT Branding worked on name development for two advance health & wellness drugs. There were two drug candidates in phase two, and one of them was approved. Because of the FDA, it was important to combine some of the potential benefits of the compound into the name without making a claim. There’s a careful line between making claims and attempting to bring forth a memorable image that’s easy to say and rolls off the tongue. Names of similar drugs from our competitors aren’t.

We brought ideas to the table, going back and forth in a creative way. It was a collaborative effort. About ten years later, I had a startup where we did web design and branding exercises. Our teams have remained in contact ever since.

What is the team composition?

I worked with two people from their team. Jonathan (Managing Director, WANT Branding) has been my main point of contact and idea person. I’ve been dealing with him for years.

How did you come to work with WANT Branding?

I’ve been working with WANT Branding since they started the company.

How much have you invested in them?

The project cost was around $150,000 on that one big project.

What is the status of this engagement?

This specific engagement went from 2006–2007.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

WANT Branding did a superb job in terms of the naming exercise, and I’m proud of our work. The logo selected was the one we worked on together. It combines a complex concept we adapted with attractive font, colors, and other powerful elements. The work WANT Branding completed ended up becoming a representation of the company. The name of the product was so powerful that it actually outlived the original company. Even though the company has changed without the original team, the brand name and logo still exist.

I enjoy how open-minded they are. They aren’t stuck in terms of ideas and were willing to collaborate. I’m a high maintenance customer and needed to be involved with the project. We worked together to create something amazing. I’ve started several companies and WANT Branding is my go-to whenever I need a design or naming exercise. Since I’ve been working with them for 20 years, I don’t hesitate and go right to them. I’m a happy collaborator.

How did WANT Branding perform from a project management standpoint?

WANT Branding checks in regularly, speaking about what their plans are before completing them. The process isn’t complicated with their team. We communicated through email and phone calls.

What did you find most impressive about them?

One of the things I found the most compelling about Jonathan and the team is that they’re not limited to pharma and biotech. They successfully brand a lot of different consumer products and operate in various fields, which I feel is an advantage for them. There is a great deal of media pressure, but yet they can create brands and images that can break through all of that.

WANT Branding can find what’s memorable when creating a brand. Anything I use from them will be eventually tested in the pharma world and how it will operate within the regulatory framework established by FDA regulators. That is an additional burden for us, but we can deal with that. Having the branding and naming to survive in the marketplace is their job.

There is a tendency with ad agencies to have all the experienced team members at the top. Clients get sold on the business by the lead people, and then they end up training all the less skilled workers that have advanced degrees but limited expertise. WANT Branding is not like that. They’re a small group, but I know everyone, and I appreciate that about them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Sometimes their projects are on the high-end, but clients get what they pay for. I don’t have a ton of complaints because their team excels at what they do.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Trust WANT Branding and don’t try to second guess them. Think about what you’re asking them to do. They are true artists, so trust them and listen to their advice. WANT Branding is great at what they do.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of Davies + Co, a strategy-focused consulting firm. We support consumer brands, retailers, and private equity companies looking to invest in the consumer space.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with WANT Branding?

My company had been hired by a company looking to rename their business after seeing consumer perceptions weren’t very positive. We hired WANT Branding to support us with their rebranding and renaming initiatives.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

For this engagement, WANT Branding handled the strategic name development process. They researched and presented several name options, while my team was dedicated to consumer research and fulfilling my client’s needs. Throughout the project, their team answered questions on legal issues and helped with the trademarking tasks. In the end, the client received several vetted names to choose from.

What is the team composition?

Jonathan (Founder & CEO, WANT Branding) and Bruno (Senior Director, WANT Branding) were our main points of contact. Together, they led the project with a team working behind them.

How did you come to work with WANT Branding?

One of the agencies I reached out to suggested Jonathan as a perfect fit for our needs. I presented a few options to my client, and WANT Branding was the right combination of expertise, creativity, and affordability. Our client liked the boutique-feel of the company.

How much have you invested with them?

For their portion of services, we spent $35,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from October–December 2015.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

WANT Branding completely exceeded my expectations in terms of the quality and professionalism of their work. Although the client was satisfied with the names presented to them, they ended up acquiring a different company and choose a different name than those suggested because of that last minute change.

How did WANT Branding perform from a project management standpoint?

WANT Branding was communicative throughout the project. They worked through any issues that arose and delivered the work as promised. Their team was respectful of all our deadlines. Not only were they professional, but they also knew how to communicate effectively and helped us present work to our client.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The WANT Branding team was full of clear experts in the field and great collaborators. They were strategic, professional, and knew how to present options effectively. Their team listened well and showed us the pros and cons of every choice. They were the perfect mix of a boutique firm with ample resources to achieve success. I appreciated their entrepreneurial spirit and affordable price.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We had a great experience with their team, so there’s nothing I can think of for them to improve on.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Although it is a leap of faith to enter a project, WANT Branding is a strong team to choose for great work.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the VP of marketing and communication for a 27,000-member trade association representing real estate professionals.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire WANT Branding?

We recently merged with another organization to form a 40,000-member system. We hired WANT Branding to create our trade name and brand.

What were your goals for this project?

The goal was to create a unique brand that represented our value, mission, and vision. The brand needed to appeal to two distinct audiences: our members and their customers.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We researched the top branding agencies in New York, as well as those that serve the real estate community. We had several rounds of interviews, plus conference calls with our work group and staff. We narrowed our search down to two companies, then invited both to a managers meeting for a presentation. WANT Branding was the obvious, unanimous choice. 

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

WANT Branding organized the process and communication from the beginning. They held many interviews with key stakeholders and staff to understand the core values of our company. They used a proven system to develop the brand in 90 days. The process was mechanical and structured, which is exactly what we needed. At the end of the project, they delivered our new brand, logo, messaging, style guide, and all the other elements they promised. 

What was the team composition?

The team included three key staff and one administrator, who handles billing. They were fantastic. Each one had strengths and skills that complemented the others.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We love our brand. It speaks to everything we care about.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The communication between us was excellent. WANT Branding seamlessly pulled everyone together for conference calls and meetings, which helped us share ideas and work through the project with little disruption.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their work impressed us. They managed the project from start to finish, hitting deadlines and organizing meetings. We felt like their only customer, which worked well for us.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I can't think of anything.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I was head of marketing at Proximo Spirits, a large global spirits company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire WANT Branding?

We originally hired WANT Branding in 2008 to help us with brand strategy and research for the 1800® Tequila brand. At the time, another brand was dominating the market. We knew we had a really good product and it just needed strong marketing and branding. 

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to position 1800® Tequila around the idea of being a “playmaker.” Using a term borrowed from the sports world underscores the brand's ability to be a catalyst for getting a good night out started.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Back in 2008, Proximo Spirits was a small firm. WANT Branding was one of a small group of agencies and consultants that we used regularly. We had a strong relationship with them and trusted they could deliver great work at a good value. We hired some larger agencies over the years as Proximo Spirits and its brands got bigger. However, we always came back to WANT Branding for their research and brand advisory. 

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

WANT Branding conducted focus groups in Oakland and Atlanta to understand consumer insights about the tequila category. They use a unique videography research approach called BrandCam™ where they talk to customers in in bars and clubs. That allows them to get a more realistic feel for how people are consuming are product and what they think about it. We also worked with them to test new packaging for 1800® Tequila. 

We worked with them on several other projects over the years. The assignments were almost always focused on some kind of insight mining and evaluation to help guide business decisions. We flew WANT Branding to London to learn more about the whiskey market and whiskey drinkers prior to a brand acquisition. We later worked with them to test advertising concepts and get reactions to proposed celebrity spokespeople.

They led a similar brand strategy project for Three Olives® Vodka, including focus groups and BrandCam™ work. WANT Branding created the ’Seriously Premium, Seriously Fun’ positioning. 

What was the team composition?

We mostly worked with Jonathan (Managing Director, WANT Branding) and Bruno (Senior Director, WANT Branding). Jonathan ran the focus groups rather than hiring an external moderator.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

All of their projects resulted in great brand growth. 1800® Tequila grew to over 1,000,000 cases in the US with a cutting-edge advertising campaign and highly differentiated packaging. WANT Branding did a good job of capturing key insights and figuring out the opportunity space for the brand. 

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Their team was very strong. We worked quite well with WANT Branding. They had a methodical way of working that was suited to the entrepreneurial spirit of Proximo Spirits. They were fast, agile, and in sync with our business and brand. 

What did you find most impressive about this company?

WANT Branding was fast, understood the brief, comprehended premium spirits, and got answers back to us very quickly.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No, there were no areas for improvement.
