BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP of Sales and Marketing at a company that manufactures, markets, and distributes baby monitoring products.We are active in over 30 countries worldwide.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Wow-How Studio?

We have developed a breakthrough product, which is a smart baby mattress. It’s a first-of-its-kind product, and it can monitor a baby's wellbeing in different parameters using a very unique environment sensor. To promote the smart baby mattress, we hired Wow-How to create a 3D video demonstrating the product in depth.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We initially collaborated with Wow-How on a short 3D animated video. We had a tight timeframe since this would serve as our entry for a prestigious award in the US. Once that was completed, we moved on to making a more comprehensive version of the product demonstration video.

We began both projects with numerous meetings where we discussed our goals with Wow-How. We provided the necessary materials and product descriptions, and they created an initial script with all of the elements that we wanted to be included. 

Wow-How also provided a very detailed professional document that we needed to complete. It outlined what we needed to prepare to help the team accomplish the work, and we used that to guide our processes.

In the end, they were able to produce two videos for us. Both videos were a professional combination of lifestyle videos revolving around mothers and babies and 3D animations illustrating the features and structure of the product.

What is the team composition?

There were three people involved in the project. Throughout both stages, our main contact was the business development manager.

How did you come to work with Wow-How Studio?

Way before we even started this project, someone had recommended Wow-How to us. We looked into their company, though we didn’t yet have the opportunity to work with them. When this project finally came up, we knew immediately that they were the ones we wanted to partner with.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $15,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project lasted from August–December 2021. We’re currently planning to do subsequent projects with them around the same product, but none of those are active yet. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The second, more comprehensive video is now published on our website, YouTube channel, and social media pages, and Wow-How’s first video helped us win the very prestigious award we were after. They did an amazing job of carrying out a very concrete project. We are very happy with the effort they put into both videos.

How did Wow-How Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

They were perfect in terms of communication, and most of our correspondence was done via email and Zoom. We put a tight timeframe on them, but they managed this project in a very professional, optimal way and delivered it in a very short time.

We had a very professional and effective cooperation with them. Even when we needed certain changes along the way, they were always very responsive and made sure that the final result would be as we had expected it.

The team was also very open-minded to new challenges. They implemented certain services that they normally did not provide in order to meet our needs. For instance, we wanted the video to include lifestyle shots along with highly technical 3D animations, and they perfectly understood and carried out our requests.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their professionalism is top-level. They perfectly understood our needs and knew how to professionally implement them in the way that we wanted. In the end, we got results that exceeded our expectations.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there’s nothing to improve in their quality of work. They were perfect with everything, and they went above and beyond for us.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

The most important thing is to understand what your internal needs are and properly explain it to the Wow-How team. Rely on their professionalism to produce the best result because they do an amazing job.

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

We started with a kick-off meeting, and they quickly came up with the first drafts of the visual style followed by a story board. In the end they delivered two 3-minute animated videos right on schedule.

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

We communicated with the Business Development Manager and Executive Producer, and they both managed their areas perfectly. The communication was fast, efficient, and kind. Everything was always right on schedule.

In total, we worked on seven separate use cases, each with it's own graphics/video. The contents where a mix of 2D and 3D. Wow-How was very receptive to changes we requested that were key to conveying the key messages for the different videos.

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

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Wow-How Studio, and what were your goals?

We needed designers to create our first safety card that was both beautiful and functional. We wanted it to be a piece of art. As a young company, our brief was minimal and we had no previous design assets to use. This company was to visualise and come up with a design style for us to use going forward that would be integral to our visual brand identity.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We went through freelancing sites and received 50+ applications from talented and passionate designers. Their practical knowledge and suggestions for how our original vision might not be appropriate made us have faith they would guide us in the right direction while also delivering something great. Their portfolio was also amazing so it was a no-brainer.

Describe the scope of their work in detail, including any steps and the final deliverables.

We provided the general structure of the page and screenshots of what instructions had to be included, they transformed these simple instructions into something real. There was a style guide to approve, and four rounds of changes in total with flexibility to incorporate minor changes throughout.

We made one major overhaul from our original plan in the middle and they were able to accomodate. We had a tonne of regulatory features that we needed included, and their team did a great job of understanding and translating this to their team of designers.

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

I reached out to their founder Alex, and then worked closely with their Account Executive and Project Manager to get things done. Their designers worked magic behind the scenes.

Our safety cards were approved without any comments by the Norwegian authorities first time and incredibly quickly. Their designs were so clear and precise that they fit all the regulatory criteria while also looking amazing.

We did this all over email and LinkedIn with frequent communication. They delivered wayyy ahead of schedule following a request from us. Excel was used to track timelines.

I was highly impressed by their speed and quality of work beforehand, but this just stunned everyone in my team. Their level of professionalism despite their personal challenges was just incredible.

Any errors were fixed promptly and perfectly, I can't complain.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Wow-How Studio, and what were your goals?

We hired Wow-How to produce an illustrated explainer video for our BioTrim processing units to use for websites, content, and events. Our goal was to have something engaging, on brand, and high quality that clearly explained the value proposition of our product.

SOLUTION

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

One of our co-founders introduced me to Wow-How a while ago to initially look at 3D rendering, of which I was thrilled with their portfolio. But this time around we needed 2D animation, and needed it quick - they showed me a portfolio and I was convinced.

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

The process was extremely fast and well organized. Every time I woke up I had a new piece of content or update to approve or provide feedback on, their team was very fast and the quality was very high. We provided the storyboard, script and they were able to put all the pieces together and go above and beyond on the illustrating the concepts we hoped to get across.

Our project managers were always on top of the feedback and never had any issues understanding the direction that we wanted to go with the video.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We' are yet to launch the video, but internally it has blown people away. It clarifies a very complex situation and product cycle in a simple and compelling way - and I'm sure it will be well received as we launch it online and at events.

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

Communication solely on email, which worked perfectly well. They provided video proofs through another platform that allowed specific comments on timestamps and that sped up the revision process significantly.

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

Their speed and flexibility were truly impressive. We provided feedback to change a direction or design element and they would immediately get on it with no hesitation and only a few clarifying questions.

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

Not that I can think of, it was done superbly well.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CMO for a hearing aid company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Wow-How Studio, and what were your goals?

We needed a number of videos to help with our brand establishment and the introduction of our new product to a new market. We wanted to create branded videos for various purposes. This included a new corporate video, marketing campaign videos as well as explainer videos for our product.

SOLUTION

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

After reviewing a number of vendors locally, I decided to look for vendors in Ukraine. This is because I am familiar with this market having worked for a company with a large dev center there. I was always impressed by the quality of the services there. After considering a couple of agencies in Ukraine, I selected Wow How because of their extremely personable approach, fast response times, and their impressive portfolio on their website.

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

We started with a discovery meeting for each video produced. Wow How always produce a very detailed project plan that we mutually agree on. This is a very professional process and leaves little or no room for error or mismatched expectations. We then worked on a script together. From the final script, Wow-How developed style frames to which I provided input.

Wow How have an almost innate ability to understand what I need and what I am trying to achieve with each video project. As a result, there were very few feedback rounds, and the vast majority of communication was handled over email. The whole process was painless, extremely professional and with a finished product that was always above my expectations.

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

I worked with my account/project manager as my only point of contact. She then communicated with the creative team. Feedback was very smooth. Wow How is always super responsive and helpful. They are also willing to challenge if they feel the creative result may suffer. This is good as they are more like a sparring partner and a member of my own brand marketing team, than some distant consultancy.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have an array of videos that are all fantastic. They look beautiful and they clearly convey the messages we want. We have used them in local digital campaigns in our target market and have had great feedback.

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

Great open communication. Extremely fast response times and everything always delivered on time and according to the project schedule.

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

Their creativity speaks for itself. What made Wow-How Studio exceptional was their understanding of what I needed and their ability to deliver painlessly. They were quite simply a dream to work with.

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

Nothing! Couldn't be better! Thank you Wow How!

For what projects/services did your company hire Wow-How Studio?

We are about to enter new markets with a certain product portfolio. Therefore, we were looking for a company that can create a professional 3D animation. Since video content is much more engaging than text, we wanted something that would persist on social media and provide enough information to potential customers.

We have worked with the studio before and were very satisfied. This was the decisive reason. besides, they are in a great price range.

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

The people were very nice and accommodating, besides we could almost keep the very tight time frame.

The communication on our side was done by two persons because we were on vacation. some times only one or the other person was on the distribution list - this delayed the project a bit.
