Process
Our IDEAS process offers a flexible, end-to-end approach for co-creating engaging digital experiences with our clients for a uniquely collaborative relationship that spans from first “hellos” to final high-fives and beyond.
IDEAS Process
Initiate
Defining clear expectations upfront sets our partnership up for success. Next, we dig into your goals, challenges, and objectives to determine the right approach for your project. Once we agree on a plan for everyone, we transition to the project kickoff.
Activities

- Statement of work
- Project plan
- Kickoff meetings
Discover
Before we build, we problem-solve. Investing in research at the start leads to our most successful outcomes. Discovery starts with a rigorous investigation into your brand and customers, enabling us to define and develop a fool-proof, data-backed strategy targeting business objectives and user needs.
