design retainer
Ongoing agency support for a company — handling all questions related to graphic design, content, visual identity, and communications.
why you need design retainer
No need to hire an in-house specialist and inflate the payroll
We take care of a specialist search and hiring
We embed our team into your processes: art director, designer, account manager, or any other creative specialist
We don't just wait for tasks — we dig into the challenge ourselves, propose solutions, andtrack deadlines
Additional expertise and art direction from inside our agency
We make things look good and help the business earn through design
We have experience localizing design and communications for different countries
Imagine: your visual style is under control, advertising materials are delivered on time, and managers actually leave work on time.
You need to cover additional payroll costs, vacation, office space, and backend management.
design support
You pay a fixed monthly fee for a designer or team.
To keep multiple designers across different disciplines, you need to constantly train them, raise their level, and maintain motivation. As the business grows, managing the design team demands more and more attention.
design support
We select specialists for each task — graphic design, animation, 3D, motion, web design.
Expertise and art direction within our agency constantly improves through training and diverse practice.
design support
We know how to generate creative solutions quickly, in virtually unlimited volume.
Employees work in one information bubble — they can get tunnel vision and may not alwaysbe able to see things from the outside.
If someone gets sick or goes on vacation, you need to find cover or freeze the process.
design support
If a designer is unavailable, the team brings in a replacement and keeps working without losing time.
why us
For over 12 years we worked inside one of the most successful businesses of recent decades — Dodo Pizza, one of the fastest-growing pizza chains in the world.
Until 2024, we led the design and creative departments, and we know how art direction works inside a real business — not from a YouTube video.
Building a team inside a corporation taught us to take responsibility, lead and guide designers, and create genuinely outstanding concepts — the kind that helped Dodo Pizza reach its first billion.

We’ve collected typical situations that managers face—clear signals that it’s time to bring in design retainer.
Designers can’t keep up, and tasks keep piling up
the solution
We take part of the workload
We keep track of brand visual consistency, follow the guidelines, and adapt materials acrossall platforms.
Every designer does things their own way
The final materials look inconsistent: different fonts, layouts that don't fit thecompany style, logos in the wrong colors. You work with multiple contractorsand the style is different everywhere.
We maintain a unified style
We become your external design department — solving tasks quickly and taking the pressureoff your team.
the solution
It's unclear whether you need a redesign or just a refresh.
We run an audit and propose a solution
We analyze your current materials and show you where the weak points are.
the solution
You need design that works, not just looks good
Designers create 'by inspiration', but the layouts don't help the business earn.
We work for results
