Working with Doru Bere and his team at Dreambox has been a truly unique and rewarding experience. I never realized that the branding and marketing of our firm was such a science, until I met Doru. His approach to identifying and compiling the DNA of our company was a journey that required participation and involvement from each of us, as well as everyone on his team. This collaborative effort really invested each of my partners and I in the final product of our logo and branding, and we are extremely proud of the finished product.
When I began the process of looking for someone to design a website for our company, I interviewed several different people and got a plethora of responses. I figured we could go with one of those companies, but as more than one of them told me, our information would just be placed into a template already in existence and created by and for others. Something about that didn’t sit well with me, so I continued the search. Those other companies were offering generic solutions, and I wanted a custom solution. When I first met with Doru, his ideas and passion for his work were so evident that I knew immediately he was the one I wanted to work with. What started as a web page turned into a complete logo overhaul and re-branding of our company. Though the initial idea of a new logo was met with some reluctance from our team, minds quickly changed after seeing the proposed ideas from Doru’s team. Their fresh and energetic vision for what and who we are as a company (all based on the various tasks and exercises we had to complete both together and separately) made us quickly realize we had been settling for “ok” all these years, when we deserved and could easily be “great” through fine-tuning and revamping our look.
Doru was extremely easy to trust from the beginning. The leadership he provided as he took our team through the different tasks and exercises was an experience that opened our eyes up collectively and individually as to who we truly are and what we hold as important priority in our day to day interactions. Each of his tasks and steps in his well-organized process had meaning and purpose behind it. By the end we had each bought in and understood how it helped achieve the end goal. In looking at the finished product, we see the fabric of the DNA strands we discovered throughout the process, and we’re proud of that.
As his client, I appreciate his personal attentiveness. Though I know the absolute opposite is true, I felt at all times we were his one and only client. I also appreciate his consistent, prompt and thorough communication. I was always “kept in the loop” of everything. He freely shared his thoughts and ideas (as well as the rationale behind them) and I never felt as though I had to guess where things stood in the process. And probably more than anything, I appreciate Doru’s patience. Having never been through this process before on our end, as well as working with our multiple team members, we quickly recognized that personalities are different and personal likes and dislikes sometimes conflict with one another. Doru was extremely sensitive and understanding of these quirks and made every effort to help us successfully navigate these uncharted waters.
I cannot speak more highly of the Dreambox team. They are professional, talented and true visionaries for their clients.
