Creative Service Comparison
Traditional approaches like hiring additional designers or relying on external agencies and freelancers often fall short due to their inflexibility, sluggishness, and exorbitant costs.
10,337+ projects delivered to some of the best teams worldwide
Most creative solutions are not made to cater for the day-to-day needs of ambitious marketing teams.
Creative Agencies
Experts in complex projects, branding, flagship events, and major campaign development
High touch services, often involving in-person meetings and direct input from stakeholder
High specialisation, track records in certain industries, deep domain knowledge
Limited control of design operations, lack of flexibility, and don't want to deal with smaller projects
Lengthy retainer contracts, long proposal phases, negotiations and inefficient project management
Longer turn-around times due to limited resources and hierarchies
In-House Teams
Greater control of creative process and better integration of design and business strategy
Build competency for your business and have a deep understanding of your brand identity
Focus on design strategy, core product design & flagship campaigns
Higher costs due to salary, benefits, and overhead expenses
Limited breadth of creative capabilities and lack of access to design operation technology
Cause hiring challenges: In-house talent is hard to find, manage, and retain
Freelancers
Very affordable and flexible to respond to changes in scope of work or design direction
Lower cost depending on design skills, capabilities and number of freelancers you hire
Direct communication with the designer on project-by-project basis
High involvement for onboarding, management & administrative tasks such as payments
Limited range of creative skills requiring you to hire for multiple capabilities
Limited availability - and accountability - to meet deadlines and deliver top-quality work
