What’s better than Unlimited Graphic Design?

Your own in-house graphic designer

Now you can have your own in-house designer for the costs and convenience of an Unlimited Graphic Design service.

If you’ve considered using an unlimited graphic design service, then you’re probably attracted to the idea of always having a designer available to work on your stuff, anytime you need them, without having to worry about the cost. On the surface, unlimited graphic design services, like Design Pickle, Penji, and ManyPixels, seem like the perfect solution.

As the most recognized brands in the unlimited graphic design universe, they all do a pretty decent job of delivering designs fast and affordable. However, if you are trying to build a reputable brand by constantly delivering quality marketing collateral that you’re proud of, then speed and price alone are just not enough.

Most serious marketers are looking for something better.

You need a graphic design partner that can do more than just an unlimited volume of work. You need a designer that jump right in and immediately become an integral part of your marketing department. You need your own dedicated designer that you can trust and go to for any number of different projects and be confident that they can deliver on-brand, on-time, every time.

Unlimited Graphic Design services are cheap for a reason, and it’s often one of their biggest flaws. For a couple hundred dollars/month you can get your graphic design work done fast and cheap, but typically need to concede on quality to do so. If you’re ok with entry-level work, not having real-time interactions with your designer, and are just looking for the cheapest possible solution, then Design Pickle, Penji, and ManyPixels might actually be the best fit for you.

However, if you value professional quality work and service, would rather work with someone in your time zone so that you can have real-time communications, and are willing and able to invest a little more in long term growth and sustainability, then there is another option that takes the idea of unlimited graphic design to a whole new level, which may be a better fit for you.

In a perfect world, instead of using an unlimited graphic design service, everyone would have their own in-house graphic designer. They would be someone on your team, who knows your brand and your expectations. They would be there for you every day, all day. They would turn stuff around quickly, even at short notice. However, most businesses and marketing teams don’t have the budget or volume of work to need someone full time, which is exactly why you turned to an unlimited graphic design service in the first place.

So, what if you could essentially have your own in-house graphic designer without all the costs, commitment, and hassle of actually having to hire someone full time?

That would be pretty cool, eh? Well, lucky for you and the other people who are serious about marketing, such a service exists. It’s called DarkRoast Design.

Better than “Unlimited Graphic Design”?: In-house graphic designers for small teams and small budgets with Darkroast

Here at Darkroast we pioneered this new way of working as an improvement on the already optimized “Unlimited Graphic Design” service model. We’re marketers and business owners too. And we know first-hand the kind of impact that an in-house designer can have on your productivity and want to make sure that any team can add a super talented in-house designer without breaking the bank.

With DarkRoast Design, you get the same experience as having your own in-house designer, but virtually. To start, you get to work with the same person every day on unlimited projects. You never have to wait, and they turn things around quickly. Except, you don’t actually have to hire and manage another person on your team.

DarkRoast Design is an obvious step up from an unlimited graphic design service. In fact, it’s even a step up from hiring an in-house designer, because an in-house designer is only one person, just like you would have only one designer if you went to an unlimited graphic design service. There will be days when the designer is sick or on vacation. They may get bogged down under a ton of work. In contrast, with DarkRoast Design, even though the same designer works on all your projects, there’s also a team in the background, who can pitch in and support your designer, so there’s never any downtime.

Finally, having your own virtual designer with DarkRoast Design is a fraction of the cost of hiring an actual full-time in-house designer. You’ll still have your own designer who’s ready to go anytime you need them, but you won’t have to spend $50,000 to $70,000 a year on their salary. That’s what we pay our designers, but you won’t need to spend that much to have your own designer.

What WE pay for YOUR designer

All of our graphic designers are employed by us, full time, in Canada. They all have around 5 to 10 years of experience and a minimum 3-year degree in graphic design.

That’s right! We’ll set you up with your own designer and let you work with them on a couple of small test projects, absolutely free. No cost, no commitment, no hassle. We won’t even ask you for a credit card. So, you don’t need to wait for approval from your boss or accounts before you try us out.

The creative weapon behind lovable brands

While it would be great to have every designer be the best at everything they do, we understand that different brands require different types of design. That’s why each of our designers has their own strengths and specialties unique to them — ranging from CPG, Cannabis, Ecommerce and everything in between.

‍
By having a team of in-house designers that each specialize in their own specific industries, DarkRoast Design is able to match each client with a dedicated designer that has experience and specializes in their given industry (instead of just randomly being assigned the first designer that becomes available with your traditional “Unlimited Graphic Design” services).

‍
We take the designer-client relationship so seriously that each client is manually matched with their designer at the beginning based on their unique needs and the designers specific skillsets to make sure they’re the perfect match from the start.

‍
In having a close-knit team of talented designers that collaborate on projects every day, Any DarkRoast Designer is able to pitch in and lend a hand if there’s a larger project that requires more than 1 designer, an important project with a tight deadline that needs more attention, or even a specific type of project that needs a different set of design skills that another DarkRoast designer has.

Best of all, you can see what it’s like to have your own

NO CREDIT CARD. NO COMMITMENT. NO BS

Because we’d just love to have an opportunity to show you how much of a game changer it can be to add a virtual designer to your team, you can meet one of our designers and see if you like working with them before you have to pay for anything.

The only catch is that we can’t offer this to everyone. We obsess over the quality of work and experience that we offer our clients so we don’t take on more than we can handle. Which unfortunately means that new client opportunities and especially free trials are limited.

So if you’re interested in the idea of adding a new super talented designer, who’s going to join and grow with your team, or just have some questions click on the get started button bellow to see if we have any openings for this month. If there are, you’ll want to secure one of those coveted time slots right away. Even if you think this might be something to look into next year or next quarter, you’ll want to get the conversation started now so that your new in-house designer will be ready to go for when you need them.
