Looking for a Digital Media Partner? Insights on Process and Costs

It can be daunting trying to find a partner that you trust and align with to help guide and support your marketing initiative. Clients often look closely at process and cost, and we’re here to offer insights into both.

Breaking down the process

We produce an array of digital media deliverables, including websites, applications, videos, eLearning, data engineering frameworks and more. They all typically follow a structured workflow to ensure quality, efficiency, and alignment with client objectives. Here are the 5 core workflow processes common to all project types:

1. Discovery & Planning

Understand the client’s needs, goals, and project requirements. Activities may include:

  • Stakeholder interviews and requirements gathering.
  • Market research and competitor analysis
  • Defining project scope, and timeline
  • Creating user personas and user journey maps
  • Content strategy and architecture
  • Technical assessment and data requirement

2. Design & Prototyping

Visualize the project creative concept and user experience (UX). Activities may include:

  • Creating wireframes, mockups, and design prototypes
  • Prototypes for websites, apps, and eLearning platforms
  • Video storyboarding, script creation, and design for multimedia projects
  • Defining user interface (UI) design standards
  • Client review cycles

3. Execution

Build and develop the project based on the design and technical specs. Activities may include:

  • Coding and development 
  • API’s and integrations
  • Marketing asset production 
  • Video production, editing, and post-production

4. Quality Assurance

Ensure the product is bug-free, meets requirements, and performs well across all environments. Activities may include:
