Concept43 is a creative studio that offers custom graphic design support for businesses, regardless of size and stage, handling ongoing design needs that come with growing a business.
20+ Years of experience working with 800+ businesses
Growing businesses reach a point where the graphic design work becomes an ongoing challenge. Design projects start piling up and deadlines get postponed because the marketing intern is late again.
That’s where we come into play. First, we learn about your business goals, figure out where your business is and where it’s trying to go. We design all of your marketing collateral, print collateral or digital designs with those goals in mind. Whether it’s a campaign, a brochure, presentation or signage that needs updating, our design team stays consistent and on brand, delivering assets that keep your business top of mind with your customers.
We design and deliver the printed and digital pieces your business uses every day, from one-off projects to ongoing design support.
We design on brand brochures, posters and promotional material for marketing campaigns built around one clear message. Every asset is pulling in the same direction. Everything we create is ready to be used for print or on digital screens.
Sometimes, printed assets may be the first physical contact someone has with your brand. Business cards, stationery and folders are a reflection of your quality and the way you work. We design print collateral that is consistent with everything else your brand puts out into the world.
Your business is showing up on digital screens all day long, in ads, banners, email headers and everything in between. We design digital assets that look the same no matter the size of the screen. Whatever the format or platform, the design flexes and stays on brand.
When your product sits on the shelf next to your competitor, your packaging does all the selling. We design packaging that grabs your attention, tells you what's inside and what your business is all about and makes the price feel right. From the structural template to the final artwork, everything's ready for production.
Good signage helps your customer to find you and good wayfinding helps them to navigate in your space without asking for directions. We design exterior signage and interior signs and wayfinding systems that align with your brand, working at the sizes and distances they are actually read from.
If your offer needs more room than a flyer we design brochures and catalogues that do it justice. We structure the content so it reads just right and design every spread with thought and strategy. The result is a piece that people actually keep with them.
A presentation often presents a deal, a pitch or an important meeting. We create presentation templates and full decks that stay on brand with your business and your team can easily use and edit them if needed. Your slides are supporting the story, not subtracting from it.
Your brand gets around three seconds on social media before someone scrolls to the next post. We create on brand assets and templates that earn a pause from the viewer, and they are designed so you or your team can roll out posts and carousels quickly without sacrificing quality.
Most of the design work in the day to day of running a business just keeps on coming, rather than being one big project. We provide ongoing design support that handles those needs as they pop up. Our studio already knows your brand and your business, so we can work fast and every asset stays consistent, without you having to hire an internal design team.
No two businesses share the same design needs. Are you looking for help with a single design project or are you looking for steady design support? We provide solutions that help you communicate and move your business towards growth.
Working with us means your goals become our goals. Every solution we design is calibrated to take your business from where it currently stands to where it needs to be.
We start every graphic design project by asking the right questions. Then, we use those answers to shape the work. It takes a little longer to get started, but it also means that our efforts go where it matters.
You know your business better than we ever will. We know graphic design and we understand your industry. The best work happens when we both sit at the same table with no hierarchy limiting the work.
We believe agreeing with you on everything is a disservice. When we discover a better route than the one that’s on the table, we’ll tell you, and bring you something worth discussing rather than a quiet yes.
Behind every graphic design project there is someone who’ll never sit in a meeting with us. We design with the end user in mind whether or not the brief requires it. When the consumer understands your brand quickly, your business feels it.
Every project follows the same process. Depth might change with scope, but the thinking stays the same.
We start by understanding where your business actually is. We look at how it communicates, who it’s speaking to, what’s working and what’s not. On larger projects we have an in-depth discovery session where we talk about what’s challenging your business. On smaller projects we just have a conversation about what the deliverable needs to do, so we can design accordingly. Sometimes the brief is exactly right and we move straight on, but sometimes what’s on the table might not be the right way forward, and we say so early, with an alternative worth discussing.
Once we know what business challenge we’re solving, we design with that purpose in mind. The strategy and the structure come first and all of the messaging, visuals and decisions that hold everything together build on that. This is where the results of the discovery become something tangible. From this point, a brand, a website or any collateral around the results are made to close the gap between where your business is and where it wants to go. We design to solve, not to decorate.
Design isn't finished when the file is saved that final time. We take care of all of the necessary steps that take the work from approved to complete and we stay active as the point of contact while it happens. Every asset is prepared for its final medium, whether that's a print-ready file or a digital format that's made for different screen resolutions. If there is production that's handled by any third-party, we coordinate with them directly, so you're never stuck in the process wondering what happens next.
Some projects end when the work is done, and that’s completely fine. Other projects turn into longer relationships, where we handle the day to day design needs as they come up. It means our studio already knows your business, so there’s no extensive re-briefing for every single project or asset, speeding up design delivery. Either way, the pace is yours to set. We happily keep our door open, and nothing forces you to walk through it.
We work with businesses that want to do right by the people they serve. That’s the kind of ambition we want to be part of.
Got questions? We’ve got answers.
Every piece your business puts out into the world is shaping what people think about your business. This goes from the business card to the sign above your office door. When those assets are designed by different people at different times, that impression gets muddied and the business shows up inconsistently in different places. Professional design makes sure that all the pieces work together, so that your business gets recognized faster and trusted sooner.
First of all, we start by getting to know your business and your brand properly. Where are you today, and where are you going? We learn about your business goals, and from there, you send us your design needs as they come up and we’ll handle them. We agree on a setup that works for volume and scope, so you know exactly what to expect from us. It’s like having your own in-house design team at your disposal, without the overhead of having to hire one.
It depends on what your business needs. A single brochure and steady monthly design support are very different scopes. Pricing anything before understanding your situation would be a guessing game. After a first conversation we give you a specific proposal, and for the ongoing work we agree on a setup that works for volume and scope of your design needs.
Typically single pieces or simple designs take a few days once we have the content. Larger projects like a catalogue or a complete signage system can take up to a few weeks. For clients with ongoing design support, turnaround gets faster over time, because we already know your brand and your business, so there's no re-briefing for every piece you send our way.
We’re glad you’re asking! If you have brand guidelines, we follow them to the letter, and our work will fit in perfectly with everything else that’s designed before it. If your brand was never properly documented, we work with what’s there and tell you honestly when the foundation is holding the work back. Should that be the case, we can help with that too.
We prepare every file for its final medium and coordinate directly with whoever is going to work with that file. We never leave you wondering what to do next with your design files. When you approve the design, we take care of what happens between the approval and the finished piece.
Directly, openly and honestly. The people you talk to are the people designing and working with your brand. We ask a lot of questions at the start and we share with you the reasoning behind every decision. We believe in good communication.
