Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a co-founder of the company and oversee the user experience of our technology and online/offline marketing materials.

For what projects/services did your company hire BluBlu Studios?

We hired BluBlu to create an explainer video for Solvent.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to capture the story that paints the problem we're solving and the technology we're using to do it. There were a lot of moving parts to the story we wanted to tell and we felt as though BluBlu had what it took to do that story justice.

How did you select this vendor?

We had seen BluBlu on Dribbble, but ultimately we referred to our 99design agency pro account to source an agency for this project. BluBlu stood out from all the other agencies 10-fold. We knew that we had found some of the best talent in the industry.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.

The video tells the story of the industry problem that created the necessity for our technology solutions. We were able to come up with that story and roughly storyboard a very rudimentary version of the story. BluBlu then took that version and created illustrations to better tell the story – we felt they did a wonderful job. Once we approved everything they then ran with the animation of the video in record time,

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

We did most of our communication via email. That ended up being very easy on our team and we were able to make decisions quickly regarding all creative files and direction.

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

The video we received not only did an outstanding job of bringing our story to life – but it was done in a very unique, and cutting-edge way. BluBlu gave us a video that is unlike anything we've seen and used an incredible amount of creativity to tell our story in the most simple way possible, and so far it has been met with rave reviews. They also stuck to the timeline. I don't think you can ask for better success metrics than those things.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Great, simple, effective. Resulted in a top-notch product.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

BluBlu Studios is one of those companies that 'get it'. We communicated the story that we had in our heads the best we could, and they took it and ran with it. Their input was invaluable, they really understand how to take a story and condense it down into 2 minutes, pair visuals with voice over audio and overlaid sound to create a product that was 98% complete. The revision process is taking us no time at all. That's the company you want to work with!

Are there any areas for improvement?

No. We very much intend to continue working with this agency moving forward and excited to create more dynamic marketing materials for our company.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m an online marketing manager at Telematics Technologies. Our company started as a NaviExpert supplier, offering one of the first mobile apps to navigate traffic jams. Since then, we’ve evolved our services by partnering with LINK4 (PZU Group) to implement the Kasa Wraca program, which is the first usage-based insurance solution in Poland.

For what projects/services did your company hire BluBlu Studios?

To promote the Kasa Wraca program, we needed to easily explain its core principles to a wide range of potential clients. We engaged BluBlue Studios to create an animated explainer video to go over the program in an informative yet light-hearted way.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal was to promote the program through a comprehensive video. The video would be featured on YouTube and on the LINK4 Kasa Wraca website.

How did you select this vendor?

We had worked with BluBlu Studios before on another project, so we already had a good grasp of their capabilities. Although we looked into other candidates, BlueBlu Studios had the strongest portfolio and the best rates.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.

We provided BluBlu Studios with an initial vision of the film along with a working storyboard. After becoming acquainted with our ideas, they finalized the script, refined the storyboard, and presented a series of static images to demonstrate the general animation style. Once we approved, they produced the animation within a few days and worked with us to perfect it. The final steps involved recording the voices and adding the soundtrack.

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

I worked with two points of contact to coordinate the project. 

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

The video was well-received at press conferences and gained over 6,500 views on YouTube.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It was a pleasure to work with BluBlu Studios. We communicated efficiently via email, and they consulted with us on a regular basis during each stage of production. If we had any inquiries, they responded to our questions within a business day, which allowed us to finish the project on time. They gave concrete, factual answers while still being casual and approachable.​​​​​​​

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I was impressed with their knowledge about animation production and their timeliness.​​​​​​​

Are there any areas for improvement?

No, I can’t think of anything to improve at the moment. I was happy with the collaboration.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from July to November 2018.

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

How did BluBlu Studios perform from a project management standpoint?

I communicated with the project lead who would send me outputs on the deadlines. They were diligent and always delivered on time. We often asked for changes, which they would always make and on time.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their work capacity. They did a lot of high-quality work very quickly. The artwork meets high standards.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Not really. Nothing that's worth mentioning.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

In our case, we knew what we wanted and provided them with a detailed brief. That worked well for us. I would suggest other clients take a similar approach.
