Utility

I was the CMO of Fivestar Training, a funded mobile tech business that leveraged the iconic Fivestar brand to produce a suite of youth sports applications that incorporated pro-level instruction across various sports. We wanted to produce a cutting edge mobile application that served up premium sports instructional content and training programs to the masses. We needed a great development company who can build out our entire product. We also had high profile celebrity athletes on board like Wayne Rooney and Alex Morgan (both global soccer stars), among others, so we needed a partner that was used to playing at high levels. Utility created everything from UX and UI design services to mobile technology services, backend technology services (including server setup), CMS [content management system] web platform development, website design and development, and strategic digital counsel. They basically handled an end-to-end buildout of a slick mobile app, iOS only, that worked in all environments. I’ve worked with tons of digital vendors personally, and Utility stacks up with the best. I cannot risk my reputation when recommending or hiring firms, but I’ve only had positive experiences with them.

I’m the President of a complex play-by-play mobile application business that lets users predict plays for each NFL game in a season. We have cash prizes and social gaming features. We wanted a supportive development partner that could launch the app during the 2018 NFL season and Utility helped us built a custom backend. They had to develop the app from scratch. The app included features such as complex statistics, a prediction engine, and an admin panel that enables real-time updates. We launched the app midway through the season and also received incredibly positive user feedback. The app developed by the team of Utility achieved great reviews and significant social media activity from high-profile industry stakeholders. Users have stayed on the solution for upwards of 55 minutes per session, which is unheard of in our industry. This success enabled us to raise over $2 million in seed funding. Thanks to Utility for all the efforts.
