Working with Pinch

Creativity with Clarity

In this section we’ve highlighted important and frequent questions clients should be asking themselves and their potential design company, questions that make all the difference between working with Pinch™ or someone else.

“Strong marketing communication is paramount to success, but we have a small budget. Is using a design agency just for big companies with big budgets?”

“Often design agencies can and do charge big fees. Thinking big and bold doesn’t mean spending big and in most cases it isn’t the creativity that costs; it’s the production method. However because Pinch™ design for all types of exposure we’re happy to discuss the pro’s and con’s for each one, be it a website, print or campaign and help choose the most appropriate medium that suits.

For a retail client, Pinch™ designed elaborate swing tags that also told the brand’s story, through emotive images and words. The swing tags worked as point of sale, advertising and mini corporate brochures all in one. They were highly memorable and a great success for the client.”

“We’re interested in working with Pinch™ – How do we get started?”

“Pinch™ would arrange a visit and discuss your project in question and its objectives. You may have a very clear idea of the brief, or it could be a case of talking about your target customers and where you aim to be in the market your in.

Together, we’d agree a brief, what’s required and completion dates. Pinch™ would then get busy to work and present you with their initial design ideas."

“What if after we’ve given the project to Pinch™ we don’t like their ideas or designs?”

Pinch™ invests the time to find out a lot about you and your project before putting pen to paper and have yet to experience this. However Pinch™ guarantee their work, so if the client isn’t completely happy, they’d take the time to find out why not and re-present fresh ideas at no extra charge. Pinch™ are passionate, not precious about design.

“Does Pinch just design or can they arrange printing, advertising space, or even the right domain name and hosting for our website?”

“Pinch™ are a full service design practice. Whether it’s a website, micro-site, brochure or billboard advert, Swing tag or Signage, Pinch™ are there to help their clients with every aspect of their project.

“We already use a design agency, but want a fresh pair of eyes to look at a new project. How would that work?”

”Pinch™ can and do help clients looking for some thing different or additional input, that already use other designers. We are often asked to re-energise or differentiate an existing brand, to come up with some thing new. Pinch™ was recently asked to think of a creative new name and brand identity for an electronic prepayment card for a transport company. We came up with several great ideas of which the client took two to their existing design agency to build a campaign around.”

“Do we have to pay for any original artwork to our designs afterwards?”

"Certainly not! at Pinch™ your designs belong to you. Pinch™ always like to send their clients copies of everything on a CD as a backup for them anyway. We believe you’ve already paid for them so were not going to charge you twice. A lot of design agencies however do charge for original final artwork, so we always make our clients aware of this.”

“Once we’ve decided to work with an agency – will we have to sign a contract?”

”Most design agencies request a sort of official notification to start a project. Pinch™ adapt to how their client prefer to conduct business, they will start the project by either a written or a verbal agreement, whether it's a one-off project or on an on-going basis.
