Fellow Studio

Head of Financial Crime for a multi-service business outsourcing and professional services organisation, with a global business portfolio.

We were aiming to create a range of digital media assets for an internal awareness campaign aimed at informing our staff about financial crime - what it is, how it affects our organisation and our expectations on them.

I met with Anthony to discuss the scope of our project. It was encouraging at this point that there seemed to be genuine enthusiasm at the topic and some good input on the range of options for how this could be delivered. Ultimately there were numerous deciding factors in the decision to use Fellows. The prompt replies, warm approach, understanding of how the material fit into the end campaign, a willingness to go further to make the campaign effective and clear plans / timescales submitted for delivery.

The project was an internal campaign for all our staff. We have 55000 staff across numerous jurisdictions and we wanted to get a consistent message about what financial crime is, how is affects the areas they work in and what we expect (as an organisation) of them when they encounter this. The project was split into 6 separate areas - general financial crime intro, fraud, money laundering, tax evasion, bribery and sanctions. For each topic we were hoping to get a range of material to deliver to our group over the course of 5 working days. This included videos, infographics, images and creation of dedicated portals to house the assets.

My understanding is that there were 4 key resources involved in this project - Anthony and Paul - the two co-founders, and Nadine and Dan - project manager and designer.

At this current time the campaign is awaiting full rollout to our entire group (scheduled before end of June), but our senior leadership team have had sight of the material and have remarked on it's good quality.

Very. We had weekly catch up calls and regular updates throughout the project to advise on how things were progressing. We had 2 in-person visits to the studio for presentation and creation of material and any queries along the way were promptly replied to and worked on.

I was very happy with how enthusiastic they were about the topic of the campaign. It's not the easiest of content to understand and condense, but the team was great at knowing what was needed and offered really useful suggestions on how we could present it.

Nothing immediately springs to mind. We found out as the assets were being sent over that our firewalls did not support and shared data spaces (e.g. Google drive), so this required us to setup a portal from our end, but this is not really the fault of Fellows. They were understanding and sent the material promptly here instead.

I am the Director of Software Solutions and Telco. Our business is connected to the global consumer channel whether that be Retail, Telco, Wallet or App and is the conduit to global brands.

We are a fantastic technology company but struggle to convert this technology into consumer facing sales decks. We needed Fellow to understand our technical value add and turn this into a compelling consumer proposition.

Fellow came highly recommended by a global brand that we work with.

The initial sessions were set up for us to explain more about our business and our business challenges. We then went through in great detail the technical solution we are trying to deploy and what the consumer benefits are.

Fellow not only provided top line support to address the key problem statements we had but also ongoing support throughout the project. They have never been more than a phone call away and having this intermate relationship is for me why I will use Fellow again.

Our project has now delivered more than 2,000,000 sales and projected to sell over 3,000,000 in 2022. This would not have been possible without the key decks being able to quickly scale up our external and internal stakeholders.

We made it clear at the start of the project that we did not have all of the answers and needed to be lead through a project like this. We are a technical company at heart. Fellow lead us through how we turn this from a technical vision into a sales solution that will drive the future of our business.

For me, the key reason was having the credibility and support of a much larger agency combined with the intimacy of a smaller organization. It was wonderful to be able to have a single point of contact and to build up a relationship with someone. I felt she really took the time to understand us and what we were trying to achieve. Thank you Nadine!

Not really. What i would say was the speed that we delivered the second project shows how quickly we learnt how to get the best out of Fellow but equally how they learnt to get the best from us.

Fellow Studio provides support for a range of branding and creative projects. Their services include creative conceptualization, video creation, and branding initiatives.

In the last 12 months, we worked with Fellow Studio on a few projects. They handled everything from pre- to post-production, editing the footage and mixing the audio for all of the videos.

We worked with 4–5 people, which included the two owners of Fellow Studio, project managers, and creative directors.

It was an obvious choice because I had heard really good recommendations about their two owners. They used to work for very credible agencies in the past before deciding to create their own.

We work with them on a project basis, each costing around £10,000–£20,000 (approximately $13,000–$27,000 USD).

We’ve been working regularly with Fellow Studio for a year now. Within this time period, there have been 3–4 projects. Right now, they’re working on another project for us that will be delivered by the end of the year. It all started in February 2021.

I’m a very demanding client, so the fact that the quality of the videos was good enough for me to put them on our website is a really strong testament to Fellow Studio’s work. The videos they’ve created have been very impactful to us. The product launch video, in particular, has been very well received at the conference where it was aired. In fact, it was even featured in the sizzle reel that organizers created.

They work on time and within budget. The few times we’ve exceeded the budget was due to my numerous change requests, and even then, Fellow Studio informed me why we were going over. They always tell me in advance what they can accommodate for free, what needs much more work, and if I’m okay with being quoted for the change.

Fellow Studio’s expertise in content strategy and creative concepts is very strong. They’re able to challenge my brief and make suggestions on how we to make our brand and products look more premium. They keep the long-term goal in mind, but they make a lot of helpful recommendations along the way.

No, I don’t have anything to say in this regard. They’re a boutique agency but they could pass as a larger company because they are very strong.

If you have never used a creative agency, you’ll be in really good hands with Fellow Studio. They will tell you exactly what they need and it will be an easy onboarding.

A brand we were partnering with need a complicated microsite build. Fellow had to design and build the site.

To create a microsite the client was happy with to house all of the content from this year and last years partnership.

We had heard great things about the team and what they'd produced in the past. We need efficiency, speed and accuracy on top of a strong design team and we felt confident Fellow could deliver on everything.

Build a microsite:

My day to day contact was an Account Director - she managed all of the amends process, however Anthony and Paul were across all comms which made us feel reassured that we had design director level input across all proofs.

The client and MMM were extremely happy with the result - it looks like a second partnership could be on the horizon to build on the hub - it's always a good sign when there is repeat business.

Very smooth. There was an internal KO between us and Fellow followed by a client facing KO. A timeline was share by Fellow which I fed into my wider timeline and no deadlines were missed. I kept the team in the loop if I knew the client needed longer and they adjusted accordingly.

They were very personable - nothing felt like too much. I know these campaigns can be high pressure and stressful but they never made us feel like we were getting in the way! I can honestly say they went above and beyond.

I was really pleased with the process - no improvements from our side.

We asked Fellow to deliver several assets for an important campaign. These included physical, digital, and merchandise designs. Fellow were tasked to elevate our existing branding and brand positioning into something more professional and premium. The turnaround time was extremely tight but the team really pulled through and delivered

Hand out 100 merchandise items

Fellow were extremely responsive and professional in managing the project and timelines. The project was on a very tight deadline and Fellow were very good at keeping on topof deliverables.

Paul and the team are very engaging and thoughful. Samantha managed the project seamlessly and with a high level of professionalism. Most of all they were able to deliver something very meaningful with very little time and existing brand work to go on.

Nothing. It was great. I highly recommend them.
