My firm provides custom content and communications outreach solutions for associations and companies in the tech and telecommunications industries that are engaged in advocacy and thought leadership on key issues. One of our clients is a global association for electronics manufacturers, and they constantly struggle to earn the support of government officials because the industry is technically complex and unfamiliar to most. We wanted to make a video that engages people on the importance of electronics in daily life, and why viewers should support the industry. Regarding process, I coordinated with Social Driver to refine a script I drafted, and then they created the storyboard and the 90-second video. The deadline slipped once or twice due to the chain of feedback that was necessary, but we ended up with an excellent final product that tells the story in a clear, engaging way. The project manager was easy to work with, and each round of iteration showed major progress. The final product included well-chosen stock video clips and some animation work. The process took about four months and cost about $20,000. Regarding the impact, the video received about 44,000 views on social media channels in the first week it was out, and it continues to be the association's “go to” video when explaining the industry to non-technical audiences.

Overall Experience: Hired the Social Driver Team after long review of agencies and independents to develop a B2C web site for a startup company. The Team dug in fast and enthusiastically, first to understand the market, purchasing motivations, and influential imagery for the site. The Team did its own research and incorporated what I brought to the table. The Team was sharp and quick and communicated through workplans the entire schedule, milestone to milestone. It was an amazing experience working with a Team that is spot-on every step of the way. The confidence level was so high I never felt a need to question their ideas. The site remained unchanged and productive for four years, after which the business was acquired. The site generated a regular flow of leads that converted into business at a rate of approximately 80%. Project was completed in two weeks!

Overall Experience: We hired Social Driver to create an animated video about a little known variant of a common lung disease. Right out of the gate Social Driver's first step was to conducted a briefing with us to learn as much as they could -- core message, objective of video, and audience target. It was a great exercise for us as they raised questions we had not considered. It was a true partnership that resulted in a video that spoke to our target audience and in a way that made the medical lingo understandable.

Overall Experience: I worked with Social Driver while working at Accenture on the recruitment marketing team. They put together a recruitment marketing strategy for the European market and also examined how we could engage with candidates at a US-based event. They developed the creative for social media and handled the strategy for our digital advertising campaigns. As experts in their field, they brought creative and innovative ideas for how to reach and engage our candidates. In doing so, they exceeded our expectations. They created an effective strategy and delivered an exceptional output. They came with fresh ideas and were very accommodating. Their client service was impeccable. It was delightful to work with them.
