What is the typical process for a Graphic Design Project?

  1. Complete a design questionnaire and send over any existing assets or information.
  2. We will send you a scope of work with the quote and timeline to complete the project.
  3. Once the scope is approved, our Director of Creative Services will start brainstorming concepts that work to achieve your goals.
  4. Then with a few concepts in mind, our designers get started on creating the graphic with direction from our Director of Creative Services.
  5. We send you a first draft, and you send back any revisions.
  6. We send a second draft. This is your chance for any final revisions.
  7. Our team sends you the final deliverable of the design asset (PDF, jpeg, png, etc.).
  8. If applicable, the design is then used in your marketing campaigns set by your Account Manager.
  • If this is a one-time, a la carte project – the client will be provided with an estimated quote before the work begins, and the final invoice will be sent once work is complete. The final invoice may reflect any overages or additional revision hours that were requested or approved.
  • If the project is quoted at over $2000, 50% will be billed upfront, and 50% upon project completion.
  • If you have a monthly retainer in place, your Account Manager will assign time out of your retainer to work on projects that support your overall marketing goals. You may also send your Account Manager any design needs that you would like to use your retainer for. This time will be managed in consultation with your Account Manager and/or tracked in your monthly reports.
  • The client must provide all branded assets that are necessary for the project before work can begin. We will not begin work until all assets are accounted for, or until a decision is made to work around the missing asset (i.e. past logo files and assets, font files, etc.).
  • Standard turnaround times listed above are only estimates. Your estimated project turnaround time will be included in your scope of work or discussed in consultation with your Account Manager.
  • Any collateral created has a limit of two revision rounds included in the quote. Additional revisions requested are considered an add-on and will be billed at $98 / hour for recurring monthly clients and $130 / hour for non-recurring clients.
  • The client must approve all branding elements before we apply them anywhere online (if applicable).
  • We will consider work complete when we deliver the assets to the client and no additional revisions are requested.
  • The final deliverable delivered to the client will be the design asset(s) in PDF, jpeg, png, or similar file format.
  • The final deliverable will be added to Marketeering Group’s shared client drive or sent to the client via other specified file share sites when the project is complete.
  • Payment is not subject to an approved result. We will not approve refunds for delivered design hours for any reason whatsoever.
  • Marketeering Group reserves the right to approve or deny refunds for unused (purchased) hours on a case-by-case basis.
  • Rush orders for all design services are subject to a surcharge of an additional 20-50% of the total design fee.
    • Your rush project will receive priority over our current project lineup.
    • The client will be notified when a rush fee is required to complete a project in their requested timeline.
    • The rush fee will be applied to the scope of work and / or reflected on your invoice.
  • What is the purpose of this asset? Describe the project and any CTAs (sign up, buy now, contact us, etc).
