Ents-Rep

Overview

Industry: Entertainment

Company background:

Ents-Rep is an entertainment agency that specialises in producing performers with unique skills to the advertising, marketing, corporate and function sectors. Under their wings are a host of professional entertainers from singers and bands to dancers, stilt walkers and human cannonballs.

Founded in February 2011 in London, Glen-Lee and Andrew Burford felt that they had found a gap in the market. Both have extensive experience in the entertainment industry, as they are musicians themselves. Even though the company is still finding its feet, the progression has been huge and with the addition of a new professional website provided by FDC, Ents-Rep can now look to the future.

Need: To develop a new website and rebrand

Benefits: FDC's re-branding and web design solutions and ongoing services

Need

The brief was to create a new website from scratch as well as the agency's branding. The team at Ents-Rep wanted to develop an image that they could then market to possible clients, they wanted a website that was professional but gave off a friendly image as Glen and Andrew both pride themselves on being approachable and their no nonsense approach to the industry.

Andrew Burford, Creative Director at Ents-Rep said: "My business partner Glen has worked on other projects with FDC in the past, and he recommended that we use their expertise in web design and development. We really like their creativity and style, combined with their extensive knowledge of the industry made them a perfect agency to work with.

"We did approach other design agencies just to see what other companies could offer. None of them matched FDC. Not only are they very affordable, they provide all the design and development expertise under one roof, we just left it in their hands. The team at FDC seemed really excited about working with us and taking on a different sort of client. We knew that they were right for the job."

Solution

FDC completed the website and branding in expert time, once again showing their competence in web design. They created a quirky, aesthetically pleasing website that provided all the relevant information needed, and also created capabilities to upload new information easily, as one of the specific things the team at Ents-Rep needed was the ability to upload new entertainers easily - FDC provided this.

Andrew Burford adds: "Our initial reaction was that the project could be quite a challenge for the FDC team as there were many industry specific requirements that needed to be incorporated into the website, but they relished the challenge and provided an unbelievable package that was way beyond what we anticipated. The creativity and design that they provided alongside the functionality of the new website really surpassed our expectations.

"Since the website has been live there have been many benefits, because previous to our project with FDC we didn't have a website, now our clients have a user friendly and easy to use platform that allows them to see all the required information. Combined with our viral and social links the new website has made our hit rate peak to a level that we didn't think we could meet.

"Finally, I'd definitely recommend FDC to any company that want a smooth, stress free website build. Alex and Nick are great designers who create something unique for your business. You can really tell that they take pride in what they do, from the initial conception stage right up until the launch of the website, they really delivered on every aspect of our project."
