What's a good idea worth?

Creativity, originality, ideas and concepts aren't based on time, they're governed by talent. This means that creative work can't be priced by the normal method of estimating time and charging an hourly rate - inspiration isn't like that.

However no-one can proceed with a project without some idea of cost, so here's a list of fees - as a guide for comparison purposes and to assist you in allocating an adequate budget. 

All projects are accurately costed (as far as possible) and a written quotation is supplied before proceeding.

Design Fees

• £250 + expenses is our basic fee for simple one-off promotional items like flyers, posters, press adverts etc.

• £500 + expenses for brochures, newsletters and simple business literature.

• £1000 + expenses for corporate design, logos, IDs and company stationery.

• £2000 + expenses for website graphics and design and product branding.  

• A monthly retainer arrangement + expenses (6 months minimum) for periodicals and magazine design, sales and marketing campaigns and multi-media projects.

• Advertising campaigns - annual contract paid as a monthly retainer. Fees based on a 15% mark-up of total advertising spend + expenses. You'll need to allocate an annual budget of at least £100,000 to give even a basic advertising campaign any chance of success.
