Our approach to working with you
We will create a strong partnership built around strategy, innovation, creativity,
collaboration, smart ideas and efficient development.
• Initialize Solutions and Features. We spend the first 3-7 days strategizing with your team to
decide how best to utilize the technology to a given property or original idea.
• Customization and Development. Over the course of the next 30-45 days, we would partner with
your team to customize the new media product to your specifications. The duration of this phase
depends on how much customization you would like us to do.
• Testing & Training. Our pre-launch phase takes 5-15 days. During this time we would deploy a
handful of devices to employees and other beta testers to give the platform a test run and fix any
unforeseen issues. We work with your team to make sure everyone is comfortable using the
technology.
• Marketing Consultancy. We will create a marketing master calendar, highlighting all relevant
initiatives, opportunities and executional tactics.
• On-going Evolution. For the duration of your contract, we would continue to improve our platform
and make new features available to you in the form of continual upgrades and enhancements.
