Our company is a data intelligence platform that assists teams in assessing and mitigating subcontractor risk at any stage of a construction project. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** We engaged Galera to achieve specific goals: simplifying complex financial concepts through visuals, using animation for a more engaging onboarding process, and strengthening our brand identity with consistent visual storytelling. **SOLUTION** I discovered Galera through an online search and referrals. We chose them over other options because their pricing aligned with our budget, they seemed like a great cultural fit, and offered good value for the cost. For this project, between 2 to 5 employees from Galera were assigned. The scope of work encompassed the following key deliverables: 1. **Content Strategy & Planning:** Work with our team to understand our platform's core functions and target audience. Define messaging around financial viability supported by our platform. Create storyboards and scripts for each video consistent with our brand and educational objectives. 2. **Creative Development:** Design unique visual elements and characters that represent our brand. Produce engaging animations that make complex financial ideas easier to understand, incorporating motion graphics to represent workflows, benefits, and use cases. 3. **Video Production:** Create four modules consisting of a total of 34 animated videos, each under 2 minutes, addressing: - How to use our platform: Step-by-step guidance. - Understanding financial viability: Tailored educational content. This includes professional voiceovers, background music, and sound design. 4. **Review & Iteration:** Share drafts for client feedback and make revisions accordingly to enhance clarity and impact. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Key outcomes demonstrated progress and success, such as adherence to the project timeline, consistent communication, minimal revisions, and high production quality, along with brand consistency. Galera's project management was excellent; they consistently delivered items on or ahead of schedule, effectively responding to our needs. Communication primarily occurred via email or messaging apps. What stood out about Galera was their remarkable capability to transform intricate concepts, such as financial viability, into captivating and understandable narratives. While there is room for improvement in project tracking for larger content volumes, our overall experience was highly positive, reinforced by Galera's commitment to excellence.
