FAQ
Questions teams usually ask
Is there a minimum commitment?
Hours-bank and full-time team plans start with a 3-month minimum. Peak support has no minimum and is booked for the period you need. For events, we ask for at least 2 weeks' notice.
How quickly are requests turned around?
It depends on the size of the job. Most day-to-day requests are delivered within 2 working days, and urgent requests can be prioritised.
Will we work with the same people every time?
Yes. That's the point of a dedicated team. The same designers and account manager work on your brand, so they learn it quickly and keep it consistent.
Can we scale up for a big campaign or event?
Yes. Add Peak support on top of your plan for busy periods, then scale back down afterwards.
Can the team work from our office?
Your team works from our Dubai studio, where our systems and infrastructure are set up for fast, reliable delivery. We're happy to join you on-site for events, workshops and key reviews.
Do you also handle video and motion?
Yes. Motion graphics, CGI and product explainers can be added to your plan. See Video & Motion.
