Working with Nine Labs is wonderful. I brought ideas to the table and they organized and crafted them into exactly what we needed. The team is not only talented, but also easy to work with.

Psst. If you’re having trouble starting, here’s the kind of email that gets us all excited about working with you (feel free to copy it and modify to your liking):
Hey Nine Labs,
My name is [Elaine Benes], and I’m a product manager at [American Express]. I’d love to talk to you about a project.
We’ve been thinking about how to improve our web/mobile app that helps people manage their loyalty points and get upgrades. We’re looking to partner with a team that can help us understand what customers care about most plan things out for our developers to build. I asked a few people and my friend [Jerry Seinfeld] said I should talk to you.
We’d like to launch it by [the end of the year] so we can [announce it at the big trade show in NYC]. Let me know if that sounds reasonable.
You’d be working directly with me and my team, so we could move pretty quickly. We’d like to keep the price to about [$250k], though we could probably go up to [$400k] if you help the team understand why additional investment would be smart.
Full disclosure: I’m talking to 2 other agencies about this work: [Acme Agency] and [Vandelay Industries].
Happy to provide any other detail you need. If you’re interested, let’s set up a time to chat.
Thanks,
Elaine
