How our monthly retainer works.

let’s look at the process

We start with a deep dive into your brand. During our kickoff meeting, we’ll chat about your goals, design needs, and what makes your brand tick. Then, we’ll craft a strategy that aligns perfectly with your vision.

From our initial chat, we’ll put together a custom design plan that fits your business like a glove. We’ll map out the services you’ll get each month, the hours needed, and key milestones to keep everything on track.

Our design team swings into action, delivering top-notch visuals every month according to your plan. Expect regular updates along the way—we’re all about keeping you in the loop and ensuring the final product is nothing short of amazing.

We’re big on collaboration. After we deliver your designs, we’ll review them together and make any tweaks to get them just right. Your feedback is gold, and we won’t rest until everything’s perfect.

Your business isn’t static, and neither are we. Need to adjust the scope or add extra hours? We’ve got you covered. Plus, we’re always here for those last-minute requests that keep your brand fresh and relevant

We’re not just your design team—we’re your creative partners. Expect regular check-ins to discuss progress, upcoming projects, and how we can keep pushing your brand forward. And don’t worry, you’ll get a monthly summary to stay on top of what’s been done and what’s coming next.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Frequently Asked Q’s:

Ongoing graphic design support means having a creative team on standby to keep your brand looking fresh and consistent, month after month. We handle everything from social posts to packaging, so your brand stays on point.

A graphic design retainer gives you VIP access to our design team. You get a set number of hours each month to use as you need—whether it’s quick updates or big projects—without the stress of hunting down freelancers.

We cover all the bases: social media graphics, website updates, brand collateral, email campaigns, packaging design, and more. Whatever your brand needs to stay sharp, we’ve got it handled.

While our retainer covers a lot, there are a few things that need a bit more love and attention. Here’s what’s not included:

  • Custom Logo designs
  • Custom Website design & build
  • Social media management
  • Custom Packaging design
  • IT services
  • Stock imagery and/or videography and paid fonts

These services require deeper research and conceptualisation, but don’t worry—they’re still within reach. Just chat with us, and we’ll happily quote these tasks separately to get you exactly what you need.

Consistent branding builds trust and makes your business unforgettable. When your brand looks and feels the same across all touchpoints, it sticks in your audience’s mind and keeps them coming back for more.

Ongoing design support keeps your brand agile, adaptable, and always ahead of the curve. By staying visually fresh and relevant, you’ll attract new customers, boost engagement, and grow your business without skipping a beat.

Absolutely! We know every business is different, so we’ll tailor your retainer package to fit your specific needs. More hours? Different projects? No problem—we’ll make it work.

If you’re constantly needing new designs, updates, or fresh content, ongoing graphic design support is the way to go. It ensures you have high-quality design whenever you need it, without the hassle of one-off projects.

Having a dedicated design team means you’re working with creatives who get your brand inside and out. You’ll get faster, more cohesive designs, and a true partner who’s as invested in your brand’s success as you are.

That’s up to you! The frequency of updates and new designs depends on your needs and the retainer package you choose. We’ll work with you to set a schedule that keeps your projects on track and your brand looking sharp.

We’re not just about pretty designs—we’re about creating visuals that work. With us, you get a creative partner who’s flexible, strategic, and totally in tune with your brand’s vibe. We’re here to make sure your brand doesn’t just stand out—it shines.

Our design retainers start with a minimum commitment of 3 months. This ensures you get consistent, high-quality support that makes a real impact on your brand. Need more flexibility? We’re happy to customise a plan that fits your needs—just reach out and let’s talk!

No worries! If you occasionally need extra hours beyond your retainer, we’ve got you covered. Just let us know, and we can either add the hours to your current retainer at our standard rate or discuss a one-time project fee. We’re flexible and here to make sure your design needs are met, no matter what comes up.

Unused hours expire at the end of each month to help us manage our time and workload effectively. However, we’re flexible—on the odd occasion, we can consider rolling over 1-2 unused hours to the next month if needed. This way, you still get the most out of your retainer while we keep things running smoothly.

You’ll be invoiced at the beginning of each month for the upcoming month’s design retainer. This ensures that we can allocate the necessary time and resources to your projects right from the start. If you ever need additional hours or one-off projects, those will be invoiced separately.
