It’s another Wednesday morning, and as a small agency, you’re up by 5am. Doing what, you ask?

Designing social media posts.

Yes, our small agency owner is up trying to crank out graphics before the world wakes up. The problem is that this small agency owner is not a designer, he’s a digital marketing executive and an amazing one at that.

But as we’ve said before (and we’ll keep saying it): a digital marketer is not a graphic designer. If you’re great at one, the other will likely suffer, and more often than not, it’s the design that takes the hit.

Or maybe it’s the second version of this story.

You wake up hopeful. Today’s the day your freelancer, after a week of disappointing you, finally sends the designs he promised.

But you already know how this story ends.

He didn’t.

This is what it looks like when your business is short on creative support and it’s not just the story of small-sized agencies, it’s the reality for so many SME businesses across the UK.

But for marketing agencies especially, the pressure cuts DEEPER. Your entire operation depends on showing up consistently with quality creatives. That means social posts, ads, sales decks, lead magnets, email banners, anything, you name it; all need beautiful creatives

Hiring a full time designer would be the ideal answer to this problem right? But how many small and medium sized marketing businesses can afford to hire a full-time staff on their team? 

The answer is not many.

So because of that, agency owners are forced to get creative. They either overwork their current team, take on the design work themselves, or rely on a rotation of freelancers who are inconsistent at best and completely MIA at worst. One week, things are fine. The next week they are not.

This kind of setup slows you down and it costs you. 

It costs time. It costs quality. It costs momentum and sadly, it costs the client, and in the long run, it will probably cost you your mental health.

It’s because of problems like this and several other factors that we created Brand Mavins, a subscription-based graphic design agency offering unlimited, on-demand design for marketing teams who need fast turnaround, and zero micromanaging.

In this article, we’ll break down why this model is built for marketing agencies, how it helps you scale without stress, and why it’s more cost-effective and reliable than your current setup freelancers, or doing it all yourself.

If you’ve ever lost revenue, or sleep because of delayed design, keep reading. 

What is an Unlimited Graphic Design Agency?

Brand Mavins.

That’s what an unlimited graphic design agency is.

But what it means is having access to a full design team without the cost, or complications of hiring in-house or outsourcing per project.

At its core, an unlimited graphic design agency is a creative service model where businesses pay a flat monthly fee in exchange for ongoing access to graphic design support without being charged per project or per hour.

Unlike traditional agencies that quote based on scope or freelancers who charge hourly, an unlimited design agency works on a subscription basis. You submit your requests, and the team gets to work delivering design after design, as long as your subscription is active.

It’s called unlimited because there’s no cap on how many requests you can submit.

That said, not every request is handled at the same time. Each plan includes a set number of active design requests, that is, the number of jobs we’re actively working on for you at any given time. As soon as one is completed and approved, the next design in your queue moves up.

This approach is especially useful for businesses and marketing teams that need design on an ongoing basis not just once in a while. If you’re constantly putting out content, launching campaigns, putting out social media content, updating brand materials, or supporting clients with creative assets, this model gives you the structure and support to do it without interruptions.

But the real value isn’t just in how much you can request. It’s in the ongoing relationship. You’re not briefing a new designer every other week. You’re not constantly negotiating timelines or clarifying your brand colours. You’re working with a design agency that understands your visual identity and keeps the work moving in a predictable, reliable way.

At Brand Mavins, this is exactly how we work.

Key Benefits of Unlimited Design Services

There are several benefits to using a design agency that offers unlimited design, especially for marketing agencies that rely on a steady stream of creative content to grow, engage, and sell.

Here are some of the key advantages:

Predictable/Stable Pricing

Most small marketing agencies looking to scale can’t afford unexpected expenses popping up every other week. 

Project-based billing, hourly rates, or sudden revision fees can throw off your entire budget and make it hard to plan long term. 

That’s why predictable or stable pricing is such a powerful benefit. With an unlimited design service, you pay the same flat fee every month no matter how many requests you submit.  

Reduced Cost

Most design subscriptions like ours are far more affordable than hiring a full-time graphic designer.

In the UK, a full-time designer typically costs between £25,000 and £35,000 per year, excluding benefits, pensions, or equipment. That’s a big commitment for a small agency or SME.

With Brand Mavins, you get access to a full design team at a fraction of that cost.

It’s a smart way to keep quality high while keeping costs low.

Flexibility 

A design agency is perfect for flexibility. 

Sometimes the work load in a month is out of this world and other times it’s a bit chill.

An unlimited design subscription gives you the room to breathe in both scenarios. You can submit more design requests when work ramps up, and ease off when things slow down without needing to renegotiate contracts or adjust team size.

You’re not locked into a fixed output. Your design support moves with you around your real-life business pace.

Zero Micromanaging

You’re busy. We completely understand that. That’s exactly why we built our design packages with that in mind.

With Brand Mavins, you’re not just getting access to designers, you’re getting an account manager who handles all the back and forth for you. They learn your brand, understand your preferences, and make sure every request is handled very well.

You don’t need to chase updates, repeat instructions, or check every little detail. You submit the brief, and we handle the rest.

Professional Team

Design agencies are known for hiring top-tier design talent, people with years of experience across different industries, markets, and creative styles.

At least, that’s what we do at Brand Mavins. We can’t speak for others.

Our designers know what great design looks like, but more importantly, they know how to make it work for your brand, and in addition to this you also get a dedicated account manager to make sure everything is going as planned.

Speed/Fast Turnaround 

The marketing industry moves fast and we completely get that.

At Brand Mavins, we don’t drag our feet. Once you send a request, it goes into your queue and we get started. Most designs are ready within a day or two, depending on what you need. 

If you’ve got a campaign going out or a post that needs to go live, we work quickly to get it done. You’ll always know what’s being worked on and when to expect it.

We know that delays can mess with your schedule, hold up clients, or cause you to miss opportunities. That’s why speed is part of how we work, not something extra you have to ask for.

Conclusion 

One thing you can’t deny or one thing you must have noticed in recent years is the undeniable love for clean aesthetics.

You open an Instagram feed and you’re seeing reel covers, beautiful creatives, product launches that are so well-designed, and so much more.

The brains and execution behind all this is a forward-thinking digital marketer ready to move with the trend and not stay behind and an amazing graphic designer who gets how design works

We can absolutely guarantee you this, we are that amazing graphic design agency.

We’ve been doing this for a while, and we also understand that smaller agencies need to make every pound count.
