I had the misfortune of consulting for a third party who had engaged this shambles of a firm. Overseen by it's Director Dan Griffiths.
Upon coming on board with the brand direction 鈥?Dan complained that the end client, and team, gave zero direction. None the less Dan seemed to welcome some direction finally.
In effect I took over and acted as a client. Dan is demanding, needs chasing for responses. His way of communicating or no way, he refuses to adapt to his clients. Spending hours reviewing his pointless 鈥渕ood boards鈥?(just images in a folder) with written direction. Doing my own mock ups and showcasing the routes to take. SPELLING IT OUT! In total 3.5 days of my time.
Yet wait for it 鈥?he states I haven鈥檛 given direction. He simply copied font by font, design and colour, of another brand pointed out for reference on Behance. I get it though 鈥?when you have no talent like Built by Buffalo, you have no choice but to steal.
Further more this firm isn鈥檛 cheap 鈥?high-end prices for toddler designs. I could get a nursery art class to deliver far better creative output.
In short avoid this company at all costs 鈥?more so keep a look out for Dan Griffiths under any other company. Place your time, money and more importantly brand in safer hands.
