RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Significantly increased our creative output and improved turnaround times, allowing our small team to execute more campaigns, faster. We’ve reduced our average design turnaround time to less than 48 hours, enabling us to meet tight deadlines and support last-minute initiatives. We’ve launched multiple campaigns on time with high-quality, on-brand visuals, contributing to increased engagement across channels, especially on social media and email. Their consistent delivery has also helped us maintain brand consistency across all assets and reduce internal bottlenecks, freeing up our team to focus on strategy and execution.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Design Force’s project management is seamless and well-organized. They use ClickUp for project management which makes it easy for us to submit design requests, set priorities, and track the status of each task in real time. Deliverables are typically turned around within 24–48 hours, and deadlines are consistently met, even on urgent or last-minute requests. The team is highly responsive to feedback and flexible with shifting needs, making collaboration smooth and efficient. Their structured process in ClickUp keeps everything moving and ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

• Fast turnaround
• Dedicated team

Are there any areas for improvement or something Design Force could have done differently?

If there’s one area for improvement, it would be around initial creative alignment, there are times when the first draft doesn’t fully meet our expectations and requires more detailed direction or revisions. That said, the team is always receptive to feedback and quick to make adjustments. As we’ve continued working together, they’ve become more in tune with our brand and preferences, so this has improved over time. A bit more proactive creative guidance up front would take the partnership to the next level.
