Project Summary
Ekreative built an end-to-end web and mobile video-streaming platform from scratch and has managed ongoing upgrades. The engagement included two native mobile apps, a web app (Ionic/Angular), and PHP-based backend services; the platform scaled rapidly to 6.5 million users within eight months. Ekreative provided frequent updates, agile/scrum-based project management, and flexible team composition throughout the project.
Key Challenges
- Fill a lack of in-house development capabilities
- Deliver a complete streaming platform from scratch and scale rapidly
- Manage technical decisions and provide stronger early-stage technical guidance in the absence of an internal CTO
Project Deliverables
- Two native mobile apps (iOS and Android)
- Web app (Ionic/Angular)
- Backend services (PHP)
- Design handoff/artifacts via Zeplin
Project Solution
Ekreative advised on the high-level specification and built the entire system from scratch over a 24‑month delivery period. The client provided designs; Ekreative handled design elements and handoffs via Zeplin, developed two native mobile apps (iOS and Android), a web app using Ionic and Angular (upgraded from Angular 7 to 8), and backend services in PHP (upgraded from PHP 7 to 8). They used an agile/scrum approach with daily updates and weekly sprint reviews and scaled the team size as needed throughout the engagement.
Project Outcome
- Platform scaled from zero to 6.5 million users within eight months
- Delivered the scoped product and met client expectations for functionality
- Regular communication with daily updates and weekly sprint reviews supported ongoing development
- Vendor demonstrated strong ability to flex and recompose the team as project needs changed

Quality of Deliverables
“The platform went from zero to 6.5 million users within eight months. The products' speed, design, and technology are acceptable but could've been planned better. Ekreative provided daily updates and weekly meetings to review sprints. They excelled at changing and adjusting team composition.”
