how we do it
Built on Relationships, Driven by Design
who we cater for
CREATIVE SUPPORT THAT FITS THE WAY YOU WORK
No matter your setup, we offer flexible, high-quality design services that adapt to your needs. Our hourly-based packages give you the freedom to get exactly what you need, when you need it.
INDUSTRIAL CORPORATES — AN EXTENSION OF YOUR MARKETING TEAM
We work with South African businesses in engineering, manufacturing, mining, chemicals, packaging and other industrial sectors. From technical catalogues and product literature to presentations, campaigns and everyday marketing materials, we help your team keep work moving and your brand consistent.
These relationships typically work on a retainer. We start by meeting with you, understanding the volume and type of work, and recommending a suitable level of support. A three-month trial gives both teams time to test the relationship and check that the scope is right. At the end of the trial, we review what worked and discuss any changes to the hours or services before agreeing on a 12-month arrangement.
AGENCIES — YOUR WHITE-LABEL PRODUCTION PARTNER
We work behind the scenes as an extension of your agency, producing work for your clients under your direction. Whether you need design, digital, web or campaign support, we follow your brief and agreed ways of working while you remain the lead on the client relationship.
Agency work is usually arranged through packaged hours. Once we understand the scope, we recommend a package and provide clear pricing. You can book support for a single month or choose a three- or six-month arrangement when you need more consistent capacity.
SMEs, LOCALS & INDIVIDUALS — THE RIGHT SUPPORT FOR YOUR PROJECT
From owner-run and family businesses to local brands and individuals with a specific creative brief, we’re happy to help bring good ideas to life. That might mean a new identity, marketing materials, social content, a website or a once-off piece of design work.
We scope and quote this work per project, based on what you need. That gives smaller businesses and individual clients a clear brief and price before work begins.
our process
Clear, Simple, Collaborative
STARTING THE CONVERSATION
We begin with a 30-minute online meeting. It’s a chance to introduce ourselves, hear what you’re looking for, ask questions and see whether we’re a good fit for each other.
FINDING THE RIGHT FIT
We review your requirements and work out the best way to support you: a retainer, packaged hours or a project quote. We then send you the proposed scope, timing and price so you can make an informed decision.
THE GREEN LIGHT
Once you’re happy to proceed, we confirm the arrangement and take care of the relevant paperwork, purchase order or invoice. We then arrange a focused briefing and request any content, brand assets or access we need to start.
INTO THE STUDIO
With the brief, terms and start date agreed, we schedule the work and bring it into the studio. We set up the people, communication and time tracking needed to keep the project organised.
GETTING TO WORK
Our team develops the work against the agreed brief. We plan internal review points and delivery deadlines, track the time involved where applicable, and keep you informed as the work progresses.
COLLABORATION ALONG THE WAY
Your input helps shape the result. We share work at the agreed stages, gather feedback and make revisions within the scope before moving towards final approval.
FINAL DELIVERY
Once approved, we supply the final work in the formats agreed in your brief, ready for its intended use.
