Your designers are resizing, and it is costing you the concept work
A campaign is one idea and forty assets. Every placement has its own dimensions, safe areas, file weight limits and text rules, and each one has to be built, checked and named properly.
That work is done by designers whose rate assumes they are designing, and it is the reason concept work happens after hours. It is also the least interesting part of their job, so it is where turnover starts.
A production designer takes the adaptation. Your designers keep the concept, the art direction and the client presentation — which is what the agency actually sells.
What they produce
- Format adaptation — Master creative adapted across every placement and aspect ratio, with composition rebuilt rather than stretched.
- Spec compliance — Dimensions, file weight, safe areas and platform text rules checked before delivery, so nothing bounces at upload.
- Asset naming and delivery — Files named to your convention and delivered in the structure your ad platforms and clients expect.
- Template building — Repeatable campaign structures built as templates, so the fifth client of the same type takes an hour rather than a day.
- Presentation and deck production — Client decks assembled and formatted from your content to your template.
- Static and animated variants — Static, animated and short-form video variants produced from the same master.
- Version control — Rounds tracked properly, so the approved version is unambiguous and the client never receives round two by mistake.
- Asset library upkeep — Client brand assets organised, tagged and current, so nothing is recreated or used out of date.
What stays in the agency
Production travels. Concept, art direction and client relationships do not.
- Concept and art directionThe idea and the visual direction are what clients pay you for. Never delegated.
- Brand guideline decisionsThey work within guidelines; changing or interpreting them is your creative lead's.
- Client presentationThey produce the deck; you present it.
- Client data accessGrant per-client access, and check your own client agreements on subcontracting first.

Questions
Frequently asked
Will the quality match our designers?
For adaptation work, yes — and often more consistently, because they are not bored on the fortieth asset. Original concept work is a different job and should stay in-house; that distinction is where agencies either succeed or get disappointed.
How do we brief them?
Master creative, the placement list and your brand guidelines. Agencies that also record a two-minute walkthrough of the first campaign get a much faster ramp-up than those who send files alone.
Can they work across multiple client accounts?
Yes, and that is the point — a production designer typically supports several accounts. Set access per client rather than globally, and keep a written record of who can see what.
How much does it cost?
From $14/hr + GST full-time — up to 70% less than a local hire, with no placement fee. Run your numbers →
Full-time, part-time or fewer hours?
Forty hours a week is our standard engagement and twenty is common. Below that we look at fifteen, ten or even five hours to get a role started, priced accordingly — a smaller engagement costs a little more per hour because the recruiting and management effort is the same. Plenty of clients begin at ten hours and grow the role once they see what comes off their desk.
Is there a minimum term?
Three months, then month to month. It's the same runway you'd give a new local hire to learn your systems, your clients and your standards — and the team members who get a fair run are the ones who stay for years. There are no exit penalties at any point, and if the issue is the person rather than the role, the first-week refund and free replacement cover that separately.
How do you handle confidentiality?
The same way you'd treat any remote team member. Every placement signs an NDA and a confidentiality clause before day one, and they work inside your systems — your email, your CRM, your file storage — so you control what they can see and can revoke access instantly. No client data is stored on our side.
