Free up resource by sharing the load

In-house marketing teams sometimes need extra capacity. Maybe there’s a member of the team on leave, or maybe there’s a large amount of work that needs turning around quickly and there’s too much for the team to handle reasonably.

I have lots of experience helping marketing teams deliver the work they need when they need it, keeping key stakeholders happy and the wider team supported.

How I can help

Hire me on an ad-hoc or retained basis

Compliment your in-house team

I can provide extra capacity for your marketing team, help to get a different take on a problem and I can integrate seamlessly with your existing workflow. I’m happy to lead original creative, work with your team’s creative or follow your lead agency guidelines.

Reduce costs

By using me to support your team, you save on recruitment fees, onboarding investment, workstation investments, software investment, holiday pay, sick pay, pension contributions, and NI. I’m IR35 compliant too. My support offers great cover if you’re recruiting more design resource but have projects to ship during the process.

Any size organisation

However small or large your team or organisation, I can align to your workflows and deliver design projects for you. I have lots of experience in B2B and B2C across many sectors.

Manage projects from start to finish

Your team needs to focus on their projects. Overloading colleagues risks causing burnout. I can gain a deep understanding of your brand and can take a project from concept to delivery, including managing stakeholders, taking the load from the team.

A trusted design partner

Organisations trust me to deliver their design requirements on time and to budget. I’m happy with NDAs if required. Read some feedback from my clients here.

Ad-hoc or retained

Forecasting workload is difficult. I can support your team on an ad-hoc basis, here when you need me and not burning a hole in your budget when you don’t. For busier teams, savings can be made on a retained basis where I offer discounts as your organisation requires more hours.

Marketing team support expertise

I support a number of organisations by providing extra design resource to their marketing teams.

I’ve worked closely with one of our teams for over 8 years now.

Internal initiatives and communications

Human Resource document stylings, handbooks, colleague event posters, colleague initiative sub brands, customer facing documents and much more.

Campaign assets

Print and digital adverts including advert resizes for multiple publications and channels. I’m happy to be led by your lead creative agency too.

Digital content

Social media images, website images and graphics, e-marketing content, intranet graphics and more.

Event assets

Roller banners, stands, leaflets, flyers, giveaways, programmes and more.

Presentations

Internal or customer facing presentations that communicate your message effectively and engage your audience.

Image selection

Selecting the right images for your projects can be time consuming. I can take your brief and select potential images from your preferred library, leaving you to make the purchase for your licence.

Image production, retouching and editing

I can edit and retouch images to your brief and deliver back to you optimised for the intended purpose.

Workflow and process advice

Look for opportunities to improve efficiency in your processes and workflow across the team.

Another member of your team

I work closely with your team leads and key stakeholders. I can embed into your organisation just like an additional team member.

Trusted design partner to many organisations and individuals

Working with Gavin for nearly 6 years has been an absolute pleasure. In that 6 years there wasn’t a single design challenge or brief Gavin didn’t deliver on. His experience, creativity, skill and positive attitude means he can and will always find the best outcome for any client.

As a client I have been able to rely his collaborative, advisory and professional approach and I know that the work I get will always be of a high standard. Gavin really cares about what he does and that’s evident is every piece of design work he produces, from taking the brief to delivering final artwork.
