DESIGN RETAINER
Keep packaging, retail displays and marketing materials moving with one coordinated design team. We help marketing departments and agencies develop concepts, adapt artwork and prepare assets for the next production stage.
Minimum project budget: RUB 20,000. Retainer scope, monthly fee and billing terms are agreed separately.
Bring us your recurring design workload. Together, we will define the scope, priorities and working arrangement around the work you actually need.
A design retainer gives you a consistent team for recurring assignments, with an agreed scope and a clear order of priorities.
From a packaging concept to a consistent product range and artwork prepared for your production partner. Packaging concepts and visual design. Product-range and SKU adaptations. Layout of supplied content on packaging dielines. Artwork updates and Russian-language adaptation. Packaging visualisations and prepress preparation.
The brief defines who supplies approved product information, translations and the final production specification.
Develop and present the way your brand appears in store, from a single display to a complete branded area. Point-of-sale materials and display concepts. Floor-standing and countertop displays. Shop-in-shop and branded retail areas. Display construction development where included in the brief. 3D visualisation and artwork adaptation for retail formats.
Design, structural development and production documentation are specified separately so the handover matches the intended use.
Turn company information into publications that are clear to read and ready for the agreed production process. Corporate and annual report design. Product catalogues, brochures and calendars. Page layout, illustration and infographics. Copywriting and proofreading when included in scope. Prepress preparation to the printer's specifications.
Page count, content readiness, language versions and print specifications are agreed before estimating the assignment.
Keep your visual identity consistent across the materials your team uses to communicate, present and launch. Campaign key visuals and format adaptations. Social media graphics and advertising assets. Presentations and editable brand templates. Event graphics and branded merchandise concepts. Photography and website design as separately scoped assignments.
Each assignment has its own output list, formats and approval requirements.
Extend your team's capacity across product launches, campaigns, packaging updates and everyday brand communications.
Carry a consistent visual identity across product ranges, retail formats and local market materials.
Bring additional design capability into client projects. We agree responsibilities, review stages and handover requirements before starting.

Scoped to your work
Scope, monthly fee and billing terms are agreed before the engagement begins.
Packaging updates, a retail rollout and a corporate publication require different combinations of skills. We define the engagement around your expected assignments and the capacity they need.
A monthly scope for ongoing design tasks, planned with your marketing team or agency. The agreement sets the included work, budget, review stages and delivery priorities.
A substantial launch, new website, complex 3D concept or publication can be scoped separately when it sits outside the recurring workload.
Start with a defined assignment to establish the brief, working process and required output before discussing longer-term support.
The included work is defined around your requirements. It can combine packaging artwork, retail and point-of-sale design, 3D visualisation, print layouts, presentations and campaign materials. We agree the deliverables, priorities and review process before starting, then assess new requirements against that scope.
We price the engagement after reviewing the expected workload, disciplines, deadlines and output formats. Individual projects start at RUB 20,000; that figure is a project minimum, not a monthly subscription fee. Retainer pricing and billing arrangements are agreed for your particular scope.
