Graphic design firm SJD World has launched a subscription service to better meet the needs of clients without an in-house graphic designer.

“We are extremely excited to support our clients in a more strategic way through our new subscription service,” SJD World founder and creative director Stephan Johnstone said.

Since starting his company 19 years ago, his team has focused on ad hoc services for clients, supporting them solely as the need arises in their business.

“Even though we are still offering our freelance/per hour services for clients, we also know there are many businesses and marketing teams without full-time in-house graphic designers who can benefit from our reliable, high-quality graphic design support,” he said. “Our subscription service will cater primarily to these medium and large-sized local and international businesses.”

Mr Johnstone said one of the benefits of introducing this subscription model to their business offerings is that clients can move past the paperwork phase of the onboarding process much quicker. This allows SJD World’s team to focus more on building and executing client designs.

Mr Johnstone and Anna Dill, SJD World’s senior graphic designer, were looking forward to developing more long-term, sustainable relationships with clients and to playing an instrumental part in their brand identity and success.

The firm launched three packages this month: Silver, Gold and Platinum, depending on how much time and support each client needs. All packages include a wide-range of graphic design services including: advertisement design, presentation branding, print management and logistics, as well as packaging, the creation of multi-page documents and more.

Clients who transition to a subscription package get access to unlimited edits and changes.

“Anyone who has worked with a graphic designer knows that making multiple edits and changes to a design can become time-consuming and costly,” he said. “We’ve decided to offer unlimited changes as a perk for our subscription clients only. This is our way of ensuring subscription clients get added value and leave each project feeling like we’ve gone above and beyond to execute their ideas.”

SJD World also offers website maintenance services and boasts an online shop, which launched in late 2020.

Mr Johnstone hopes that the release of this subscription model will allow them to continue being a growing creative force in the local design and marketing industry.
