The best of an in-house team & agency combined
Capability and availability with no overhead or time-to-hire.
It’s rare your graphic and web design needs are static enough to fit an in-house team.

It’s also rare good agencies (or freelancers) are standing by and available for the quick turnarounds your marketing team needs.
We offer custom designed retainers with built-in flexibility that fit perfectly to your plans, and adapt when plans change.
the benefits

Wait, but Why?

excelllent , effective work icon
excellent, effective work
  • Top quality and experience with B2B marketing deliverables.
  • Balancing effort with impact. Knowing when to spend 2 hours on something vs 20. Good and fast over great but late.
Integrated & Available
  • Standing by, familiar and ready for timely turnarounds.
  • We’re in your systems — Slack, Asana, Teams, Monday, etc. No need to learn a new platform or workflow.

Scalable in any direction
  • Adjustable hourly retainers with unused rollover options.
  • Increase design, dev or add peripheral services like video production or content-writing.
Maximum Value & Utilization
  • No overspending on a large bloated agency or on unutilized in-house talent.
  • We’re not the cheapest, but you don’t want the cheapest. You want maximum value and utilization.

Why Not An

In-House Team?

Pros

time icon
Fully available  for 40 hours a week
persoonal details card
Fully dedicated  — wears the jersey
dedicated dollar icon
Affordable — if fully utilized

Cons

scale icon
Doesn't scale up or down as needs change
mulltiple  peoople icon
Requires multiple people to cover all the skills required: dev, design, creative direction, PM
big commitment logo
Is a big commitment — salary, benefits, onboarding, legalities
qualityy stagnant
Quality can be stagnant and incomplete.  In-house quality might be good, but might not deliver the next level quality you're looking for. LPDS can often complement or fill in the gaps of an in-house team

Established Agency?

Pros

high-quality-pro
High quality
wide-range-pro
Wide range of services

Cons

expensive icon
Very expensive with lots of overhead
turnaround icon
Low turnaround — Typically is a protracted formal ticketing, brief, kick-off process vs. a dedicated familiar team
calender
Low availability — The team is not standing by or in your systems, adding your project to their queue of others.
They typically outline strict timelines and likely to not adapt quickly
phone call
Indirect communication — often only working with an account manager, and don’t have access to the actual team — creating a game of telephone

“Working with LPDS, I was able to lift off an amazing rebrand for Navis and produce an astonishing amount of production output at the same time. His team’s work is impeccable from the creative to the accountability and care they put into every step of the process.
He is a partner you can trust with your brand."
