Blackribbit

I’m the executive director of the Shackleton Research Trust Corporation. We’re a nonprofit foundation that promotes educational awareness and opportunities for underrepresented minorities in science.

We brought them on as a consultant to develop our marketing strategy.

Blackribbit was the key solution for our branding and marketing strategy. They looked at every facet of market analysis and what type of brand image we wanted to portray. We didn’t have a lot of these questions answered, so they walked us through a systematic process.

We had a main point of contact and 1–2 other people working with us. They weren’t our primary contractor.

They reached out via LinkedIn for another project. After talking to them for a while, we saw the project wasn’t panning out for what we were looking at, but we had another, so we went with it.

The total value was around $10,000 per month, so it was close to $90,000.

We started talking in May 2020. The primary work was finished in March 2021, and they’re now working on a second portion of the project.

People love the website. We’ve shown it to many people, and we haven’t heard somebody saying they don’t like it. We’re also very happy with the brand image, logo, and everything behind it. It’s all sharp, and we couldn’t have done it without Blackribbit.

They used all sorts of ways to keep us on track. I own and operate a couple other companies, so time is always an issue. However, they were really accommodating to work with me, my schedule, and other team members. All of the work was distributed across two countries and three time zones.

They had a global thoughtfulness to the design element. It had a global appeal, and I think that was because they had an international-minded team.

Not really. They were flexible to work with us in different ways. We couldn’t do any better, honestly.

Trust the process; their methodology really works.

I work for a large digital media company comprising a vast network of sites, consolidating billions of vistors a month worldwide. I work as a product manager with the group, working directly with ownership and senior leadership to execute on new product ventures. I focus on creating new products that align with solutions for efficiency across the entire company.

I worked with Blackribbit to help me get a rough design and working prototype of my first iteration of a mobile webapp, and used their services to elicit feedback from stakeholders and consolidate vision for our eventual product build.

My goals were to develop some 50 individual pages within the larger site platform, and translate those into a clickable prototype.

I have worked with Blackribbit for years and find them professional, great with feedback, and experienced enough to fill some of the gaps that often put a project on pause.

We work directly with creators to provide the easiest, most useful, lucrative and in-demand tools in the fan creator space, all in one login. Getting to MVP will enable both VS and WMG to begin integrating and testing both the creator platform and tube traffic integrations. It makes sense to launch with an MVP due to the timing of our entry, where we can continue to quickly iterate the creator backend and expand on their toolkit. Creator engagement will be key over the long term to make sure that the traffic volumes alone aren’t wasted, and to build word of mouth growth to feed ever increasing demand.

The team is currently 1 pm, 2 Senior Devs, 1 Junior BE Dev and 2 FE Devs.

This project got the ball rolling and enabled us to bring the project to life. We are working on building out our MVP now, and with the help of blackribbit we should be to market by early Q2.

Excellent, the Blackribbit team had consistent meetings and were timely and focused. They worked through the holiday season, which was a big reason why they proved such an advantage - alleviating the gap between Christmas and New Year where new ventures still months off are hard to focus on. They had great tools for communication, and were able to work with my notes and ask appropriate questions to mitigate for a mutually desired outcome.

That they worked through the holidays like champs, but also that they have proven such a great resource over and over again that listen and respond quickly and with professionalism.

Not particularly.

We are a small startup focusing on development of new novelty products we aim to bring to market this year.

BlackRibbit designed and implemented our initial website, then took us through brand, identity, and naming discovery etc. of two separate brands in our portfolio.

I found them via a referral from a trusted colleague.

Nader and Fritz.

Everyone I have shared the newly designed website and brand books with finds them very professional and well put together.

Very effective. They lead the process and invited us to multiple zoom calls. On a few occasions we disagreed and turned back development to bring us back to alignment.

They had considerable knowledge and I was extremely impressed with the end results!

I am the founder and Creative Director.

We hired Blackribbit as part of our rebrand and to design our new website.

A new modern and beautiful website with fresh on-brand video and photo assets.

Blackribbit was referred to me through a friend.

We needed a refresh on our brand image and especially on our website to modernize our look and make us more competitive in the current online market. We worked with Blackribbit to design our new site and the vision for our new video and still photography assets that we use both on the website and beyond in all of our promotional efforts.

We worked with Nader directly.

We have had an overwhelming amount of positive feedback on the new website and the look and feel of it as well as the rest of our visual assets. The new site is fresh and modern and also stands out in our industry as something unique and striking. It has definitely brought new interest and business to Au Ciel.

Nader was great to work with. He is always very responsive and makes you feel like you are his top priority. He is also flexible and has a good sense of showing you options you didn't know you might respond more favorably to in order to get you to the results you truly desire.

Nader is extremely talented and has a great eye for composition but also puts in a lot of research and time into understanding your industry and your place as a brand within that industry. They always made us feel like we were in the right hands.

We were honestly very satisfied all around with the process and the results.

Eyes Up Here Productions is a content strategy company that directs your gaze to the stories, socially-oriented brands, and crucial campaigns that are shaping the world we live in.

Blackribbit was hired when we originally formed the company to help us find our brand voice and style and to design our look and logo.

The deliverable for this project was a style guide and logo.

Through a personal referral.

Blackribbit's process was very thorough. It involved a lot of industry research as well as discussions and discovery processes with my co-founder and myself.

We worked directly with Nader throughout the process.

Our branding and logo are very eye catching - literally people's "eyes" are drawn to it. We always receive positive and often delighted feedback when people see the logo for the first time - whether it's on a t-shirt or on our business cards.

The workflow was very effective. Nader's process is gentle and very supportive but also challenges you to think about your brand in ways you never thought to and to explore all possible angles.

They are very patient and flexible, and they're willing to work with all your needs and requests. We felt very taken care of and in expert hands throughout.

None that I can think of here! We were very satisfied and would recommend Blackribbit to anyone, especially to start ups who need guidance and help figuring out what they even need!
