Graphic Design Retainers

Big brand results.
Smaller investment.

With my fractional creative director and design services, I am dedicated to helping you significantly grow your business.

I will enhance your branding, strategy, marketing, and design, opening up new avenues for success that resonate with and grow your target audience.

You gain expert brand and marketing leadership without investing in full-time staff. This means effective branding without increasing your infrastructure costs.

Get better results with a dedicated creative partner. I understand your strategic business goals and know how to leverage and extend your visual identity to meet them.

Secure the strategic, creative leadership essential for your B2B business at a fraction of the cost of a full-time creative

Strategic creative direction transcends beyond stunning designs. It’s about having a seasoned, committed, creative ally who understands your business vision and leverages your visual identity for growth.

My monthly retainers help business owners and marketing teams manage their design needs as and when they need it. They are perfect for businesses that need regular design work and expert brand management, but cannot hire a full time creative designer or brand strategist to lead the way.

I’m not just a partner; I’m your growth catalyst. Let’s join forces to harness the power of strategic creativity and propel your business brand to unparalleled success.

What this means for your business brand

  • Smart strategic designs that make your business stand out and reach the right people.
  • A polished and strategic creative approach that differentiates your business amongst competitors and makes you proud of your brand.
  • Brand consistency throughout all your marketing touchpoints so your audience always knows what to expect from you.
  • You receive passionate, expert support from a empathetic, hugely qualified expert.
  • Peace of mind in knowing that you will receive a pre-agreed amount of work each month, for a fixed cost discount.
  • Access to my 29 years of experience across all design disciplines plus my global network
  • Working with me offers you a consistent level of quality and style that will help to reinforce your brand credibility.
  • Skip the queue – you are essentially pre-booking my time, which means you get priority when it comes to my schedule!
  • Save Money - the more time you book - the more money saved

As your strategic ally, I offer more than just my design expertise. I am a specialist in visual communication who employs marketing and graphic design as tools to facilitate your brand’s growth and success. Using cheap, inexperienced designers who are unable to see the big picture, actually costs you more in lost business and lost credibility.

Graphic design retainer packages

A retainer fee is like a monthly design fee. It is paid up front each month before work is ordered. Essentially, you are paying for time versus a specific service. Based on the retainer package you select, I will block out my schedule with the appropriate amount of hours each month. You have peace of mind knowing that you will receive a pre-established amount of quality work each month.

My retainers are designed to be flexible and adaptable to your changing needs. You can choose the time/cost plan that works best for you, OR we can customise a bespoke package. From startups to established businesses to massive multinationals, I’ve worked with clients from a wide range of industries, and am supremely confident that I can help you too.

You’re in good hands!

I’m Frank, the creative mind and owner of Frank Brands (International Ltd). Let me tell you a bit about myself – I’ve been working in the design industry for over 29 years, since graduating from University of the Arts London with my BA (hons) in Graphic Design Degree.

My agency career in London and Dubai led to learn my craft servicing massive brands like Etisalat, British Telecom, Qatar Airways, Emaar Properties, Sabic Industries, Kempinski Hotels and many more.

I dropped out of corporate 13 years to start Frank Brands in Dubai so I could work 121 with business owners like you and have a bigger transformational impact on community, staff, families and customers.

I’m passionate about creating unique and memorable brands that help businesses stand out from the crowd and succeed.

I am values-driven and committed to building and supporting strong relationships with my clients, you can count on me to be there for you every step of the way.
