Bilingual Website

Business opportunities continue to expand globally, especially in China and India. We worked with TigerBridge Capital to help them launch their first ever marketing site in both English and Chinese via WordPress. Our mutually established goals were to create a site that was clean and simple while presenting an air of sophistication and trust. Further, we worked with TigerBridge to develop their branding guide to ensure that they were able to translate the English site to Chinese themselves in order to establish an authentic voice for their Chinese clients.

Non-Profit Website

For non-profits, cost of ownership of a website can be a significant factor. When we started working with Interlaken Group, their custom-built Elixir based site was hosted on a private web server that they didn't control. We had to come up to speed on Elixir, but we worked with Interlaken Group to rectify this situation and get their custom site hosted on Heroku. In doing so, this allowed Interlaken Group to not worry about administering web servers and made it easier for us to deploy changes. Through Heroku's pipeline feature, we were able to seamlessly enable a staging site for testing site updates.

Publishing via Ghost

We especially love getting exposed to new technology and platforms. When our friends at Iterative Capital called us up to help them with their site they said they wanted to use a publishing platform called ghost. We naturally said: "What's ghost?" Turns out ghost is an excellent lightweight platform for creating web publications. We worked closely with the Iterative Capital team to put together a unique visual image for their site and publication that lets them showcase their domain expertise in cryptocurrencies.

Buy Cookies From Your Couch

The days of thinking that e-commerce sites are just like any other basic website are long gone. Complicated checkout flows, multiple payment options, back-office order processing and fulfillment, marketing automation, accessibility compliance, and on and on. And then there are the e-commerce platforms themselves and tons of testing. E-commerce sites are their own full-blown products and warrant full product support. When Levain contacted us for help with their Magento 2.0 site they were frustrated by an outdated agency model where they were given a new site and then put into a maintenance contract. We quickly jumped in and did what we always do which is collaborative product development. Levain's happy, and so are we. They give us free cookies.

Crowdfund Through Cryptocurrency

Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are all the rage these days. As technologists and product people, we wanted to take the opportunity to get our feet wet and so we designed and built a web responsive prototype for an Initial Coin Offering using Ethereum and Ethereum smart contracts.

Local Rewards

From time-to-time, we work with larger agencies in need of help with their client projects. Luck would have it that we got the nod to work with one of NYC's premier digital marketing agencies to build the iOS and Android apps for a complete overhaul of Pepsi's rewards program: Pepsi Pass.

Platform Rebuild

Oftentimes, enterprises outgrow the technology they spent years building and maintaining. ForceBrands found itself in this exact position and decided it was time to design and build a new version of their jobs platform from scratch. Unfortunately, things did not work out as expected with the first firm they hired who went and designed an entire site, presented their designs, and wanted approval to build the entire thing. And so what do you do when you're in a pinch? Why, call sneakers of course. By taking a collaborative, hands-on approach with the ForceBrands team, we were able to bring much needed energy to a stalled project, help grow ForceBrands' internal team, and get it completed in a few months.

Yoga On Demand

Video-on-demand subscription services are tricky to get right. So so much so that Mission 360 came to sneakers to get their platform up to snuff. So we did what we always do which is go back to the basics and ensure that the primary functions and building blocks of the platform work as expected. From there, Mission 360 will be on a firm footing to market their site with confidence and expand their functionality.

Office Design Sales and Installation Goes Digital

Things don't change very often in the world of office design and installation. Meadows Office Interiors, however, saw an opportunity to streamline their operations, improve customer satisfaction, and increase sales through a number of digital initiatives. But oftentimes, building digital products is harder than it looks, especially for established enterprises.

When Unstuck, Get Unstuck

When it launched, Unstuck defined what was possible on Apple's just-released iPad. To this day the product stands the test of time and has helped countless people overcome their life obstacles. During the course of Unstuck's evolution, Sneakers has been a trusted partner to the Unstuck team providing new feature development and maintenance along with overall mobile guidance and strategy.

The Tech Behind The Fashion

Fashion and software aren't usually mentioned in the same sentence, but creating fashion is a complicated process. Launchmetrics helps fashion brands manage their fashion samples, fashion events, and fashion lines while connecting them with industry insiders. Mobile apps are a key component of Launchmetrics digital strategy and sneakers has been their go-to partner for maintaining and building their extensive suite of iOS and Android apps that interface with everything from Bluetooth printers to handheld scanners.

Brand Promotion Made Easy

Brands have to market and promote their products. As it turns out, doing in-store marketing promotions can be incredibly painstaking to coordinate. Pinata was founded to change all that, but they struggled with their initial attempts at platform execution. Pinata subsequently hired sneakers to focus their efforts and deliver a Minimum Viable Product to the market.

Book Meeting Spaces

Sometimes the best way to keep a team motivated is to get them out of the office. Bizly makes it easy for companies of all sizes to easily book offsite meeting spaces at inspiring locations. Bizly originally enlisted sneakers to build the first version of their mobile app. Since then Bizly has raised enough money to build and sustain their own team. We couldn't be prouder. They are doing beautiful work.

APP ACQUISITION & MANAGEMENT

You may or may not know this, but apps get acquired by other companies all of the time. In the world of apps for foodies, The Infatuation recently acquired the Zagat brand and all of its digital assets from Google. The Infatuation tapped The Sneakers Agency to assist them with taking over ownership of Zagat's native iOS app. In working closely with The Infatuation's product team, we were able to insure as smooth a transition as possible and a seamless upgrade experience for existing users.

Electronic Medical Record System Website Design

Let's face it, medical professionals are used to using pretty outdated software. It doesn't have to be this way though. When we started working with Doctor Wound, they wanted to create their own custom Electronic Medical Record (EMR) System to help them streamline their patient onboarding, ongoing care, and billing. We collaborated with Doctor Wound to create full UI/UX designs for their complex EMR system and transform this into a clickable prototype so that they could see the full user experience.
