*Including 6 reasons.
At Drip Fed Design, we believe that the future of the design hiring space will be through a subscription. So, whether you're an agency, start-up, marketing team, or an in-house team looking for extra resource, this will become an immeasurable solution for teams at large.
Every month, an ever-growing number of teams and businesses are discovering the benefits of a design subscription.
But why?
Let's jump into it and find out.
What is a Design Subscription, or Design as a Service (DaaS)?
Think about your Netflix, Disney+, or Apple TV+ subscription. Each month you pay a single fixed fee, which enables you to consume as much content as possible. Film-by-film. Series-by-series.
Design subscriptions and Development subscriptions are almost identical, instead you're consuming design services or development services, rather than video.
How does a Design Subscription work?
It's simple. Just choose a design subscription plan and submit as many design and build requests as you desire.
When an active subscription is in place with Drip Fed Design, you'll have access to your own Kanban-like space. This is where you'll submit, manage, and collaborate on design and build requests.
Each of your requests will be actioned and completed one-by-one (depending on subscription), in date ascending order (oldest first).
In those rare occasions when a request needs a priority boost, there is an option to move a request into the 'Jump Queue' column.
Oh, a subscription can also be cancelled at any time. Nice!
Will design subscriptions or development subscriptions become the future of sourcing talent and experience within the industry?
Yes, we believe so- or at least make up a huge share of what is the landscape for sourcing and discovering designers and developers (or builders).
There are a ton of reason why we believe this. Here are a handful of reason and benefits outside of the obvious 🥁...
1. Wealth of knowledge and wider industry experience.
You need to remind yourself that Design Subscription providers are not limited to providing to a single industry. We can explore outside an industry, jump from industry to industry, and even span across multiple industries.
Our clients come from a range of different industries, like Fintech, Food and Beverage, and Educational. This enables us to continuously build our design knowledge, experience, and insights.
Thus, the expertise we gain is directly reflected in the quality of work we deliver to you.
2. Onboard instantly and easily, or book a call to find out more?
We've worked on the tools, and we've managed teams and products. We've also interviewed for new roles and waited a head scratching amount of time for HR and IT to process the paperwork and equipment.
It's not cool and doesn't paint a very good picture for your new hire!
That why we're ready to start within minutes of client sign-up. Onboarding doesn't need to take up masses of time and effort, so we've optimised ours to become a clean and clear onboarding process, which you'll appreciate.
Upcoming project or campaign. Hello! Swamped with a growing backlog. The solution is our subscription.
No paperwork. No employee insurance or pension. Bugger all!
3. Cancel at any time, with no commitment!
And just as quick and easily as onboarding, you can cancel your subscription.
If you hit an unusual or unexpected quiet period, just cancel your design subscription. If the backlog has cleared, cancel your development subscription. No questions asked!
4. No pay review or bonus. Just a single fixed monthly cost!
It's the same single fixed cost for each active month, removing all the overhead costs.
No promotions.
No bonuses.
No pensions.
No company car.
No gym memberships.
No private healthcare.
No annual events.
No discount cards.
No parental leave.
No sick leave.
No equipment.
No software.
No training.
[...you get the point]
As much as we enjoy 1:1 meetings, spending 80% of that time talking about stuff that isn't related to progression. We'd prefer to spend our time on what provides value and makes an impact for you.
Drip Fed Design has been designed and built to save you time, overhead costs, and increase ROI.
5. A dripping tap of design and development, ready when you need it!
You just need to turn the tap on.
You'll have more oomph to get creative when there is no need to worry about stretching resource across multiple projects or deadlines.
Drip Fed Design promises and guarantees senior full-stack talent at your monthly disposal. Imagine your possibilities.
6. Transferable loyalty and satisfaction, that can follow you around.
Everyone should have strong relationships they can stick with, trust, and know they can fall back onto. Especially when they've been built over a period.
If you let us, we can support your career journey. We're not set in stone, so can move with you to your next role or brand jump. Don't worry, it's not poaching!
Furthermore, we won’t be that “disappearing salesperson” that’s incredibly experienced (and magical!) but then hands you off to a junior once you're onboard. NO NO NO!!!
