Design support for product and communications

We embed into your processes and take ownership of a recurring workload. We assemble and manage an external team and remain accountable for the quality of the outcome.

We step in when

More work than the team can handle

New assets are needed every week alongside product work, campaigns and urgent requests. Deadlines begin to slip, some work is rushed, and quality depends on the team’s current workload. We take ownership of an agreed part of the flow and help release materials consistently.

You need different specialists

Design diverges across departments

Art direction is needed across the entire workflow

Campaigns and special projects launch regularly

What the process looks like

Briefing

We immerse ourselves in the project and analyse the task flow, asset types, timelines and budget. We clarify the boundaries of support, the expected outcome of our involvement and appoint a client-side owner.

Integration

During the first month we embed into the processes and start working through the agreed backlog, establishing a working rhythm and measuring the actual workload as we go. At the end of the month, we refine the priorities and scope for the next period.

Sprint cycle

At the start of each week we take tasks from the backlog. At the end, we show what has been completed, what remains in progress and which decisions we need from you. Before delivery, all materials go through an internal design review.

Review

Once a month we compare the actual workload with the agreed scope and review the tasks for the next period. When needed, we adjust priorities, capacity and team composition.

What we take on

Product and UX work

We work through analytics, feedback and user flows. We design new screens, improve existing ones, and prepare states, responsive layouts and handoff notes for development.

Design concepts and key visuals

We develop the visual direction for campaigns and special projects, showing how the idea works across formats and channels.

Landing and promotional pages

We create the structure and visual delivery for product launches, promotions, partnerships and recruitment campaigns.

Marketing materials

We make banners, emails and resizes, adapting the visual idea to different channels and formats while keeping communication consistent.

Content and media formats

We embed into your team and establish a design production flow. We create the project’s visual language and recurring formats, then support and evolve them using analytics and feedback.

Internal and commercial materials

We create presentations, reports, guides, onboarding, sales and partner materials, and keep files and usage rules up to date.

Art direction and design review

We review ideas from internal teams and contractors, check layouts, provide feedback, approve final materials and maintain one quality standard across the flow.

Design systems and evolution

We evolve components, UI kits, templates and Figma libraries, add new patterns, document usage rules and review new materials against the system.

A team with the right expertise

We define the lineup at the start and keep it throughout the engagement.

Working model — retainer

Plan monthly capacity

We set the team’s scope and focus for the period. Priorities can be adjusted along the way.

Work through design debt

When the main workflow temporarily slows down, we switch to non-urgent tasks and systematic improvements that are usually postponed.

Task-specific specialists

We bring in specialists in 3D/CGI and motion design, UX researchers, illustrators and copywriters.

Permanent core team

Manager

Manages the backlog, tracks deadlines, gathers feedback and documents decisions.

Art director

Gets immersed in the product and business objectives, sets the direction, leads the team and remains accountable for the quality of the outcome.

Key designers

Work on the project continuously, know its visual system and retain context across tasks.
