DBO
Helped an Advertising Agency Beat Recession
Overview
The Ad Agency was a high-end advertising agency based in the USA. Due to the economic
crisis of 2008, the agency found it difficult to handle the uncertain demand for
design services of its clients. Erratic order cycles were increasing with many orders
coming at the same time with tough deadlines. The clients were also very particular
about the pricing of services.
Process
Since the demand levels varied greatly with the ad agency, the options to hire full-time
designers or free lancers were not feasible at all. The agency decided to outsource
its design work. Finally, after an unrelenting search for a top-class design service,
the agency was introduced to Design Back Office. This was the golden business opportunity
for the agency as Design Back Office provided high-quality graphic design solutions
at affordable prices.
Success
With the help of Design Back Office, the ad agency now had the expertise and the
capacity to handle all levels and types of design orders. This enabled them to offer
far greater quality of design work in shorter time frames. The prices were very
competitive and the agency would be designated a personal account manager to offer
top-class customer service 24 hours a day.
Future
The agency could now offer its clients new products such as animated logos, web
site design, multimedia ads, micro sites, 3D animation, catalogues and many more
design products! It could even focus more on its creative design process and outsource
the repetitive work, such as clipping paths, to Design Back Office to further smoothen
its work flow. The services of Design Back Office can greatly increase revenues
for the agency in the future, allowing expansion of its business portfolio.
