Collaboration

What was the objective behind your collaboration?To rename and rebrand xEra, creating a strategic and scalable brand identity system in preparation for market expansion.

What did you enjoy the most during your collaboration?CDA was quick to respond and very helpful in guiding us through understanding our own branding, especially since this was our first time developing a brand. We asked for options for naming our brand, and CDA’s brainstorming process was both creative and collaborative--one of their suggestions is now our official brand name. Overall, a great agency if you’re looking for strong value for money, professionalism, and excellent work ethics.

Are there any areas for improvements?As one of the reviews here mentioned, more frequent check-ins during the early stages of a project would be helpful. In our case, since this was our first time developing a brand, we sometimes felt hesitant about our ideas or unsure how they would come to life. Regular early-stage check-ins from CDA could provide reassurance and opportunities for refinement. That said, every member of the project team carried out their role well.
