Business Cornwall: How is the business best described?
Buzz Interactive is all about creating innovative and bespoke software solutions for ambitious clients – but we’re also so much more than that. From the pride we take in our projects, to the close way we work with our clients, it all starts with a solid team that embraces our principles to help businesses and organisations take their projects to the next level.
Head online and you’ll find our portfolio is a compelling window into the array of diverse projects our team has delivered over the years. During that time, we’ve honed our best skills to deliver those projects we know will give real results; from bespoke dashboards that simplify tedious tasks to pioneering apps that support change in daily life, our talented developers make your vision reality.
Business Cornwall: Why was the business founded?
Buzz Interactive was founded with a vision to put performance, digital innovation and real results at the heart of our success. While many creative agencies had a focus on design and traditional media, our aim with Buzz was to build a team that put technical development first, delivering fundamental changes for businesses with a particular focus on function and great user experience, so we could hit every nail on the head.
Paired with our crew of creative developers – with decades of combined experience and a real mix of backgrounds between them – this mission has seen the continued success of Buzz for almost 20 years.
Business Cornwall: How does the business compare to competitors in the industry?
The best thing about Buzz is our client-focused approach to projects. Thanks to our dedicated project managers, we ensure the people working with our team feel informed every step of the way. The happiness of our clients whilst working with us is paramount. We don’t hide away our developers, though; when you work with Buzz, you get to chat to the people working directly on your project at the right times.
This approach allows us to get to the core of what businesses actually need – and not just what they think they need. Our Discovery service really helps with this. With a creative and transparent journey for every client, we get to heart of the project and create software that delivers its potential time and time again.
Business Cornwall: What are the business’s plans both short-term and long-term?
Our short-term aim is to build ourselves as the go-to crew for app, portal and configurator development across the UK and beyond. We’re already building innovative and exciting software solutions that inspire businesses to step outside their comfort zone, and we’re looking to work with fellow entrepreneurs who want to do exactly that. Part of this growth also includes our application for B Corp Certification, recognising our ethos to put people front and centre of all things Buzz.
In the long term, we plan to continue growing our team of talented developers and taking our skills to the next level with transformative projects that gear up businesses for real success.
Business Cornwall: How does the business define success?
Success for Buzz is all about delivering projects that inspire and drive results for the businesses who put their trust in our hands. By working with them to make an active difference – whether internally or for their own customers – through bespoke software, our best stories come from those experiencing the changes on the ground.
More than anything, though, the real success for us personally is to have a happy team, confident in their abilities to deliver exciting projects and motivated to go above and beyond – with unlimited creativity at their fingertips.
