Most traditional agency settings including web development firms, ad agencies, design studios and brand management firms are celebrated for their zero-hierarchy culture. Their passionate and excited approach to graphic designs.
Their high level of energy and curiosity when it comes to servicing their clients. In almost all such settings, constant change is in the air and exploration is often the name of the game. But, agencies have their fair share of challenges too.
Designhill’s Design & Branding Perceptions Survey 2015 Found Out That:
- 74% agencies are forced to turn away clients as their designers are often overworked.
- 63% agencies believed that it is extremely difficult to a professional for each design category like logo design, website design, packaging design, custom t-shirt design, etc.
- For 54% agencies, presenting their clients with multiple design options remains the biggest challenge.
- Providing clients with multiple revisions and changes remains a big challenge for 12% agencies.
With these stats in hand, it’s not too difficult to understand why outsourcing remains so important for such traditional agency settings. Outsourcing helps agencies reduce their overhead expenses by 10-15%.
Diversity drives the outsourcing machine making it possible for design agencies to the increase the design choices for their clients. In addition, space can be a constraint for agencies looking to thrive the competition. Outsourcing design projects eliminates that worry.
