Please describe your company and your position there.

Vizion Interactive is a full-service digital marketing agency.

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

We hired Webdew for a video production project. We wanted to create an about us style intro video for our website's homepage to show new site visitors what we're all about, our services, and our personality.

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

We found Webdew from a Google search for video production companies. We compared the work samples and prices of multiple companies and Webdew had the best of both!

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

We started with a discovery meeting to learn about us and our vision for the video. We then moved onto the script stage. Webdew wrote a script for our approval, we made edits and approved the final script before moving to the storyboard stage.

After the storyboard was created by Webdew and approved by Vizion, we moved to the animation stage. After animation was approved, Webdew gave us the final product that we could deliver to our own voiceover person.

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

We worked with a project manager who outlined the project and kept us on schedule. At each step of the process, he would provide us a link to a Frame.io where we could make timestamped notes for their team to make edits. They would then make the edits and send us a new link to review.

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

This video project was a crucial part of our homepage redesign. We will see with time, the impact it has for our agency.

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

The project manager was easy to communicate with and quick to reply to emails. It was easy leaving timestamped notes within Frame.io

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

We loved their enthusiasm for our project and willingness to go back and forth with edits to get the final product just right. They have really cared about having a happy client and a quality video output.

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

Besides being able to read our minds and create the perfect video with no edits needed, they really did a great job listening to and implementing our feedback all along the way.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a marketing associate at a technology company. We have a platform that helps businesses match supply and demand. In a world where there is a lot of disruption and different things that affect demand, companies struggle to meet that demand. Thus, we provide them with different sorts of intelligence and insights to ensure that businesses run smoothly and become more agile and resilient, leading to better revenue.

What challenge were you trying to address with webdew?

Over the summer of 2021, we went through an identity change. We previously had some marketing videos, but when we made the change, we couldn’t use them anymore because they had our former name. Thus, we hired webdew to create an introductory video for our company.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’d had the idea for our video for months, so we came in with a script, but webdew helped us prepare it, making it fit for an explanatory video. After that, they helped us prepare a storyboard, going through a storyboarding process to ensure that it was right for what we wanted.

Since then, we’ve worked with them on creating the animated video. We had decided it to be a whiteboard video, so webdew’s involvement has included a lot of animation, as well as voiceover and musicalization. During this last process, we’ve been iterating, making edits and changes as needed.

Our engagement took a three-week pause because our executive leadership needed to work on refining the language we want to use. Webdew was okay with letting us take a pause, and after re-engaging, webdew was still there to help us through the rest of the video.

What is the team composition?

I’m not sure how many people from webdew have been working on our project. I know that we have an entire team assigned to it, but I’ve only interacted with a service manager.

How did you come to work with webdew?

We had our heart set on a whiteboard video, so we looked on Clutch to see reviews of various companies and found webdew. We also did a Google search to see what other companies had to offer in the explanatory whiteboard videos space, but we ultimately settled on webdew.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $2,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We've been working with Webdew from January 2022 through the beginning of March 2022. We had to put the project on break for a few weeks in February due to my company making sure we had some language correct, but we are just about to wrap up the project at the start of March, which we are pleased with.

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

Given that we don’t have the finished video, we don’t have any customer feedback yet. However, our CEO is very satisfied with what we’ve seen so far.

How did webdew perform from a project management standpoint?

Although we’ve had to double clarify some aspects we want to see on our video, webdew has been very professional and helpful, and our collaboration has been seamless. webdew uses Frame.io for our collaboration, where we can see the current project state and leave comments in real-time. Additionally, we communicate via email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

webdew’s collaboration distinguishes them from other providers. I worked with other providers in the past, and it was difficult to follow the project by just sending emails back and forth. Having the ability to collaborate so seamlessly through their project management tool has been very helpful.

Are there any areas they could improve?

It would be good if we didn’t have to re-clarify what we want. However, this issue has happened on a few occasions, and it is not of significant importance.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be prepared and make sure that you know what you want; it will help smooth the collaboration. webdew has a helpful team, but it is better to come in prepared.

Please describe your company and your position there.

Epona [USA Division], Vice President: We develop software for the SharePoint (Document Management for Legal and Enterprise) for the Microsoft 365 platform

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

We needed WebDew to make an introductory video for our Company (Epona) and our latest product DMS for Teams.

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

Our USA Office Lead found Webdew through an internet search of high quality service providers in the space.

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

There was the initial discovery process, where we shared our requirements. This was followed by a process wherein we shared by way of PowerPoints what we wanted in the video. Webdew took that data, and video-ized it. We also used a third party platform to take video screen captures, to insert "insertions" into the video storyboards that they provided to us. After all of this process, they provided us with a sample for review. We were given one "revision".

One revision may seem like a small amount but considering the inexpensiveness of the project, it was a fantastic price, and a phenomenal value. That revision was limited for us because the work was spot on. They did the revision, we paid the bill, they then provided the final work without watermark and the rest is a happy history. We highly recommend Webdew.

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

My team leader (Stacey) worked with Reaz Sabbir and Sandeep Kumar. Both were excellent. I also worked with them both. The feedback process with frictionless and quick.

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

Both Reaz and Sandeep were quick to provide their knowledge of the process when we would refer to sections of the video like: "There were logos" that were not making sense and needed to move in a different way, or "the logos that were there" need to be replaced, and they completely knew exactly what were talking about and didnt need to be shown. They knew exactly what we wanted, which was excellent.

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

Their management style was: Customer focused, listen then provide. It was ideal for client focused outcomes. The project would have been done faster if WE HAD done what we said quicker. We were the bottleneck, they were excellent and fast.

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

They were not only efficient, they were cost effective and friendly.

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

Frankly, no. I would change nothing. If they keep doing what they are doing, they will be huge!!! Five of Five stars!!! I highly recommend Webdew, and we will be back again.

They were widely experienced with all the formats of video. They provided great value for money through their quick turnaround time and great customer support. And it was pretty challenging to convert a hand-recorded video into a professional video, but they pulled it very nicely.

We used vectors and icons in the video. If their color could be matched with our theme, that would be great.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering(IEEE), a scientific organization. IEEE publishes papers from top scientists and we have several journals. I am an editor for the online content that we produce.

What challenge were you trying to address with Webdew?

Each year we ask the scientists to send us their best papers so that we could produce videos for those papers. We then contacted webdew to help us do the videos related to those papers.

What was the scope of their involvement?

This is a collaborative effort because we provide the concept and webdew just executes it for us. We provide their team with the information that they require such as PowerPoint presentations or a recorded voice of the author. Based on the materials we send them, they narrate, edit, and produce a video. They bring their own equipment during production.

They’ve created six animated videos, which are related to technical papers that have been published by top scientists. We post their videos on our YouTube channel to be viewed by other scientists around the world.

What is the team composition?

In my group, I have only interacted with their service manager.

How did you come to work with Webdew?

I had no idea how they were hired by the organization. I was simply instructed by IEEE that webdew is the person to do our videos.

How much have you invested with them?

I don't know the details regarding finances because webdew charges IEEE for the services.

What is the status of the engagement?

We began our partnership in June 2020, and we’re still engaged with them.

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

webdew has been excellent. Our audience loves the videos they’ve created and people often tell us that the videos are perfect.

How did webdew perform from a product management standpoint?

They always meet our deadlines, and they always stick to our schedule. Whenever we send them content for a video, they always submit their output the next day.

In addition, they’re very patient. When they produce videos, we immediately relay the feedback from our authors, and we have a lot of back and forth in between that. We communicate and send files to each other through email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They're very professional.

Are there any areas they could improve?

So far, I don't see anything they can improve.

Any advice for potential customers?

Make sure that you provide them with whatever information they need on time and the content you want to be featured in the video.
