How we plug into your team

How we support your team day to day.

Most clients use all three, but they typically start in the middle — that's the engine everything else runs on.

Presentations & Communications

The work your team needs, every week.

We build and maintain decks, reports, and internal materials so everything stays clear, consistent, and ready to use.


  • PowerPoint + Keynote builds and updates
  • Annual reports, sales aids, and executive materials
  • Internal comms (reports, proposals, presentations)
  • Event and meeting content
  • Infographics and supporting materials

  • One blended rate across disciplines

  • Priority support when things ramp up
Presentation Systems & Training

  • Priority support when things ramp up
Say goodbye to scattered emails

How being embedded actually works.

We make fast work possible by working inside your system, not around it.

One shared board, a consistent team, and clear ownership — so nothing gets lost and everything keeps moving.

A consistent team, not a rotating bench

Same lead designer, same PM, week to week. We learn your tone, your shortcuts, and how your team works.

One shared project board

Every request lives in one place with status, owner, and deadline. No chasing updates, no lost threads.

One blended rate across disciplines

Design, decks, brand, motion — one rate, one invoice. No surprises when a project crosses skill sets.

Priority when it matters

Retainer work moves faster, with same-week turnarounds when needed. When something's urgent, it gets handled.

What this replaces

The things your team is tired of dealing with.


Without an embedded team

  • Chasing updates across email and Slack
  • Re-explaining your brand every time
  • Juggling freelancers and inconsistent output
  • Work piling up with no clear owner
  • Last-minute requests turning into fire drills

What you get instead

  • One team that already knows your work
  • Clear ownership and visibility
  • Consistent output across everything
  • Faster turnaround without the scramble

Frequently asked

Things people ask before they hire us.

What's the minimum to start a retainer?

It depends on which level fits.
Essential Support and Corporate Support each have their own monthly minimum — we'll recommend one on the discovery call based on your team, your workload, and how embedded you want us to be.

How long are retainer engagements?

Essential Support runs as a 6–12 month partnership.
Corporate Support is a 12-month partnership — that depth of integration takes a full year to really pay off.

Does a retainer roll over?

Unused hours roll within the quarter and get recalibrated at your next check-in.
You're not penalized for a quiet month — we plan for the busy ones together.

Who's actually on our team?

You'll have a consistent lead and project manager, plus design support across decks, brand, and content. The core team stays the same — we flex in additional support based on what's needed.

What's the difference between Essential and Corporate Support?

Essential gives you consistent support and priority scheduling.
Corporate adds first-priority access, working sessions, and deeper integration with your team.

Can we start with a project first?

Yes. Many teams start with a one-off project, then move into a retainer once the volume becomes consistent.

Do you support training or internal enablement?

Yes. We can run training sessions, build templates, and help your team get more out of the systems we create.

Can you work inside our tools and workflow?

Yes. We typically plug into your existing tools and manage everything through a shared project board so work stays visible and organized.
