BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the CEO & Co-Founder of a cybersecurity startup, and our software helps customers better understand their cyber risk posture.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We just started our fund raising round and wanted to have a 2D animated explainer video that would very quickly introduce what we do to potential investors within 90secs.

SOLUTION

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

We looked for video developers on Upwork, and after reviewing and interviewing several vendors, we decided on Webdew because we like what we saw with their portfolio reference videos.

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

We started with a discovery call, and we shared our voice-over script for reference. The team helped us understand the flow and time length of the script over the calls. They also helped to handle the voiceover and helped us with a mini animated video to be used for our website landing page!

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

We worked with Chehak who outlined the project and help to deliver on time. After each milestone, we'd provide feedback through form.ai, which allowed us to comment directly on certain designs or timestamps.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We showed the new video to investors and they were able to easily understand our technology! We are getting better quality conversations with new investors because the video has helped to drive higher engagement.

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

The project manager was easy to communicate with and provided frequent/on-time updates. We most spoke over Zoom calls and upwork chat.

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

They took time to understand what we're looking for and came up with animations that matched the voice-over.

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

Some customers may be new to storyboards and creation of videos, it would be great if the team provides more handholding at the early stage.

We hired Webdew to create great and easy-to-understand videos for our various courses.

Everyone at webdew is very helpful, and we've had quite a good flow when it comes to giving and getting feedback using the Monday board.

I've been working mostly with Sandeep from Webdew, and we've had quite a good flow when it comes to giving and getting feedback using Monday board.

When I first started at Guide, there were a couple of problems with Webdew, but after some online meetings and correspondence, we were able to address those issues, and they have shown great improvement since then.

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

The team replies fast and works in an organized manner, and they have a lot of talented animators.

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

They reply ASAP, and they are very organized. They also have a lot of talented animators.

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

The animators should not take things literally when using graphics. Also, they should really research first before using an image of a person they've googled because they sometimes don't match whoever should be put in the video.
