Measurable Outcomes of Working with Penji:

1. Increased Design Output & Efficiency:

Consistent delivery of 15–20+ design requests per month, supporting multiple campaigns simultaneously.

Faster turnaround times compared to previous providers, helping FUNDA launch time-sensitive promotions more effectively.

Ability to scale design needs up or down without hiring in-house.

Better ROI on design spend by accessing a wider range of services (print, digital, merchandise) within one fixed subscription.

3. Improved Brand Consistency:

The streamlined Penji platform allows for clear task management, easy feedback, and faster approvals.

5. Expanded Creative Capabilities:

FUNDA now produces high-quality, custom-designed children’s activity books, printed materials, and marketing assets that previously would have required multiple external vendors.

Ability to develop branded merchandise mockups, certificates, and resource kits with minimal internal lift.

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

Penji’s project management process is smooth, efficient, and easy to use. Their online platform makes it simple to submit requests, provide feedback, and track progress. Each project follows a clear workflow with updates at every stage, which has helped us stay organised and keep multiple design requests moving at once.

In terms of delivery, Penji has consistently met or exceeded our turnaround expectations. Most projects are delivered within 24–48 hours, and revisions are handled quickly and professionally.

What stands out most is how well Penji has responded to our needs as a brand. From the start, they placed us with designers who understood our tone, audience, and visual identity. They’ve been flexible, willing to adapt when our priorities change, and have worked closely with us on everything from large multi-page brochures to small, last-minute social media assets.

Overall, their responsiveness, structure, and reliability have made Penji feel like an extension of our in-house team.

What was your primary form of communication with Penji?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

What impressed us most about Penji is how quickly and effectively they integrated with our brand — it felt like they’d been part of our team for years. From the very first project, the designers truly understood our vision, tone, and visual identity, producing assets that aligned perfectly with our expectations.

Another unique aspect is their consistency and speed. Whether it’s a large campaign brochure or a last-minute social media post, the quality never drops — and turnaround times are consistently fast.

We also really value their platform’s simplicity, which makes submitting, revising, and managing multiple projects feel effortless.

Ultimately, it’s Penji’s ability to combine professional design quality with personalised support and flexibility that makes them stand out.

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

If we had to mention one area for improvement, it would be the occasional need to re-brief when switching between designers on different projects. That said, once you're matched with a good designer (which we've been fortunate to have!), the consistency and quality are excellent.

Review of Penji Graphic Design by the International Girls Academy
The International Girls Academy partnered with Penji to elevate our visual presence and streamline our branding across multiple platforms. Our experience with Penji has been consistently positive, marked by efficiency, creativity, and responsive service.

Comprehensive and Flexible Design Support

Penji’s subscription-based model allowed us to request unlimited graphic design projects for a flat monthly fee, making it cost-effective compared to hiring in-house designers or freelancers.This flexibility was invaluable as our needs ranged from social media graphics and event flyers to branding materials and custom illustrations. The process was straightforward: we submitted detailed briefs through Penji’s user-friendly platform, and within 24 to 48 hours, we received the first drafts.

High-Quality, Consistent Branding

Penji’s designers demonstrated a strong understanding of educational branding, ensuring our materials were both professional and student-centric. Their attention to detail and willingness to incorporate feedback meant our brand identity remained cohesive across all projects. We especially appreciated their ability to quickly grasp our vision and translate it into engaging visuals that resonated with our diverse audience.

Unlimited Revisions and Responsive Communication

One of Penji’s standout features is the unlimited revisions policy. We could request as many changes as needed until we were completely satisfied with the final product, with most revisions handled promptly—often within 24 hours. Communication with our assigned designer was seamless, and we always felt supported by Penji’s responsive support team and account managers.

Efficient Workflow and Reliable Turnaround

Time-sensitive projects were never an issue. Penji consistently delivered drafts and revisions on schedule, which helped us meet tight deadlines for events and campaigns. All completed designs were easily accessible in our Penji folder, making it simple to download and reuse assets as needed.

Wide Range of Design Services

From logos and banners to website graphics and print materials, Penji’s team handled every request with creativity and professionalism. Their designers are well-versed in current design trends and best practices, which ensured our visuals were modern and impactful.

“Penji’s design team became an extension of our own staff. Their ability to quickly understand our needs, deliver high-quality graphics, and accommodate last-minute changes made them an invaluable partner for the International Girls Academy.”

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Measurable Outcomes from the Penji Graphic Design Project:
From the perspective of the International Girls Academy, partnering with Penji for graphic design support led to several measurable outcomes that demonstrated clear progress and success:

1. Increased Brand Consistency Across All Platforms

By leveraging Penji’s design expertise, we achieved a unified visual identity for our academy, ensuring that our colors, logos, and messaging remained consistent across all online and offline materials. This branding consistency helped reinforce our mission and made our communications more recognizable to students, parents, and partners.
2. Faster Project Turnaround and Improved Efficiency

Penji’s rapid 24-48 hour turnaround for most design requests allowed us to meet tight deadlines for events, campaigns, and announcements. The ability to submit multiple projects simultaneously and receive timely updates streamlined our workflow and reduced bottlenecks in our marketing and communications processes.
3. Cost Savings and Resource Optimization

The subscription model provided unlimited design support at a predictable monthly cost, which was significantly more affordable than hiring full-time designers or relying on freelancers. This allowed us to allocate more resources to other student-focused initiatives while still maintaining high-quality visual output.
4. Enhanced Engagement and Outreach

With professional, student-centric graphics for social media, newsletters, and event promotions, we saw measurable increases in engagement rates—such as higher attendance at events and improved interaction on our digital platforms. The quality and relevance of the visuals contributed to a stronger connection with our target audience.
5. Streamlined Collaboration and Revision Process

Penji’s platform made it easy for our team to collaborate, provide feedback, and request revisions. This led to higher satisfaction with the final designs and reduced the time spent on back-and-forth communications.
6. Expanded Capacity for Program Promotion

With a steady stream of branded content, we were able to promote more programs and initiatives simultaneously, increasing our visibility and impact in the community. This was particularly important for highlighting student achievements and new opportunities within the academy.
These measurable outcomes—brand consistency, faster turnaround, cost efficiency, increased engagement, streamlined collaboration, and expanded promotional capacity—demonstrate the tangible progress and success resulting from our partnership with Penji. The improvements in our visual communications directly supported our mission to empower and inspire the next generation of girls.

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

Yes, Penji consistently delivered our design projects on time. Their standard turnaround for most graphic design requests is 24–48 hours for a first draft, which they reliably met throughout our partnership. For more complex or high-volume projects, delivery times could extend slightly, but we always received regular status updates to keep us informed of progress. This efficiency allowed us to maintain a steady flow of content and meet our internal deadlines without delays.

Penji was highly responsive and adaptable to our requirements. Communication was seamless through their intuitive platform, enabling us to submit detailed briefs, track progress, and provide feedback easily. We appreciated the ability to request unlimited revisions, which ensured the final designs matched our vision and standards. When we needed adjustments or had specific preferences, our assigned designer was receptive and made changes promptly, often within the same day for minor revisions.

Additionally, if we ever required a different design style or approach, Penji quickly reassigned a new designer without any hassle, ensuring our needs were always prioritized. The presence of a dedicated account manager on certain plans further enhanced the responsiveness, providing personalized support and keeping our projects on track.

What was your primary form of communication with Penji?

Email or Messaging App

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

As the International Girls Academy, several aspects of working with Penji stood out as especially impressive and unique:

1. Unlimited Design Requests with Fast Turnaround
The ability to submit unlimited design projects each month—without worrying about extra costs or delays—was a game-changer for us. Penji’s promise of a 24–48 hour turnaround for most requests meant we could plan and execute campaigns quickly, which is rare in the design industry.

2. Seamless Communication and Collaboration
Penji’s platform made it incredibly easy to communicate our needs, provide feedback, and track project progress. The user interface was intuitive, and the workflow minimized back-and-forth emails, saving us valuable time.

3. Unlimited Revisions Until Satisfaction
Unlike many design services, Penji offered unlimited revisions on every project. This ensured we never had to settle for anything less than exactly what we envisioned, and every piece of work met our standards.

4. Consistent Quality Across Diverse Projects
Whether we needed social media graphics, event flyers, or branded merchandise, Penji’s team consistently delivered high-quality, on-brand designs. Their ability to adapt to our specific audience—young women and girls from diverse backgrounds—was particularly impressive.

5. Cost-Effective Subscription Model
Penji’s flat-rate pricing structure provided exceptional value, especially given the volume and variety of designs we required. This predictability helped us manage our budget more effectively.

6. Responsive and Personable Support
Whenever we had a special request or needed a different design style, Penji’s team responded quickly and professionally. The option to switch designers or consult with an account manager made the service feel personalized and attentive.

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

1. More Specialized Designer Matching
At times, our projects required a very specific design style or expertise (such as illustration or infographics). While Penji did allow us to request a new designer if needed, a more tailored initial matching process—where designers are assigned based on their portfolio or specialization—could save time and ensure an even better fit from the start.

2. Enhanced Communication Options
The platform’s messaging system is efficient, but occasionally, more complex projects would have benefited from a quick video call or live chat with the designer. Adding these options could streamline the revision process and reduce misunderstandings for intricate or high-stakes projects.

3. Expanded Design Services
While Penji covers a wide range of graphic design needs, expanding their offerings to include services like motion graphics, video editing, or advanced web design could make them an even more comprehensive creative partner for organizations like ours.

4. More Proactive Creative Input
Penji’s designers were responsive to our briefs and feedback, but we would have appreciated even more proactive suggestions—such as alternative design concepts, trend insights, or creative recommendations—especially when we were unsure of the best direction for a project.

5. Improved File Organization
As our volume of projects grew, keeping track of all completed designs and versions became a bit challenging. Enhanced file management features—such as better folder organization, tagging, or search functionality—would help teams like ours quickly locate and reuse assets.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The measurable outcomes from the project with Penji that demonstrate progress and success include:

• Happy Clients: The high-quality designs delivered by Penji consistently met client expectations, resulting in increased satisfaction. This aligns with Penji's reported 94% customer satisfaction rate, showcasing their ability to deliver tailored and impactful designs.
• Reduced Workload: Penji’s unlimited design service significantly eased the workload on the internal team. By handling a variety of design tasks with quick turnaround times (24-48 hours), Penji allowed the team to focus on strategic and high-priority activities, improving overall efficiency.
• Cost-Effectiveness: The subscription model reduced variable design costs while maintaining quality, offering a scalable solution for fluctuating workloads. This approach helped achieve better resource allocation without compromising on deliverables.
• Streamlined Workflow: Penji's user-friendly platform facilitated seamless project management, enabling easy submission of requests, revisions, and storage of completed designs. This improved operational efficiency and reduced time spent on managing external resources.

Penji consistently delivers high-quality designs that align with our brand and meet our expectations. Their flexibility and willingness to revise until everything is perfect really stand out. They’re incredibly reliable when it comes to deadlines. Most projects are completed within 24–48 hours, and even more complex requests are handled efficiently without delays.

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

Penji’s project management is super straightforward and easy to work with. Their platform makes it simple to submit design requests, prioritize projects, and provide feedback directly on the designs. You can see everything in one place, which keeps things organized and saves a ton of back-and-forth emails.

As for deadlines, they’re really reliable. Most of our projects were delivered within 24–48 hours, and even the more complex ones (like custom illustrations) only took a few extra days. They’ve been consistent about hitting deadlines, which has been a huge help for our team when we’re on tight schedules.

What I appreciate most is how responsive they are. If we needed revisions or had specific requests, they’d turn them around quickly—usually within a day. Plus, their team is super flexible. If we needed to shift priorities or pause a project while waiting for approvals, they were always accommodating. It feels like they genuinely care about making sure we’re happy with the results, which makes working with them so much easier.
For the price, the value is outstanding. Having access to unlimited design requests without needing to hire additional staff has saved us time and money while maintaining top-notch quality.

What was your primary form of communication with Penji?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

What impressed me most about Penji is their combination of flexibility, quality, and simplicity. The ability to submit unlimited design requests across multiple brands without restrictions is a game-changer, especially for a small team like ours. Their user-friendly dashboard makes managing projects super easy, and the "point-and-click" feedback tool is incredibly intuitive—it’s clear they’ve put thought into making the process as seamless as possible.

What also stands out is their commitment to customer satisfaction. They allow unlimited revisions until the design is perfect, which really shows they prioritize getting things right for their clients. On top of that, their turnaround times are fast—most designs are ready within 24–48 hours, which has been a lifesaver during busy periods.

Lastly, their social impact initiatives, like offering services to nonprofits for $1/month, highlight that they’re not just about business but also about giving back. It’s rare to find a company that balances quality service with a strong sense of community.
 

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

While Penji has been great overall, there are a couple of areas where they could improve. The onboarding process took a little longer than expected—it took about a week or two to fully optimize our workflow with their team. It would be helpful if they provided more upfront guidance or templates to speed up that initial setup.

Another area for improvement might be offering more proactive communication from their designers. While they’re very responsive to feedback, there were times when we would’ve appreciated a bit more creative input or suggestions rather than just following the brief exactly as written. That said, once we got into a rhythm, these issues became less noticeable.

These are minor things in the grand scheme of things, but addressing them could make an already great service even better! Our overall experience with Penji has been excellent. They’ve made scaling our creative output easy, reduced the workload on our team, and consistently delivered designs that keep our clients happy. Highly recommended!

Speed, quality, and flexibility set Penji apart in the graphic design industry.

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

While Penji delivers exceptional value and quality, there are a few areas where they could improve. The limitation of handling only one or two design tasks at a time can be a bottleneck for businesses managing multiple projects with tight deadlines. 
Offering a more flexible system to handle concurrent tasks would greatly enhance productivity. Additionally, for highly specialized or niche designs, providing access to designers with specific expertise could streamline the revision process and reduce back-and-forth communication. 
While these are minor concerns, addressing them would further elevate the overall user experience.

Yes, every day they send updates and I can guide them so that the project is carried out as our manager had conceived, a platform of theirs that allows for high-level communication I dare say it's almost like having extra employees in graphic design who carry out this part flawlessly and always meeting the deadlines unless of course we add additional tasks and the project gets longer but that's an addition to the project that requires additional days of work.

What was your primary form of communication with Penji?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

The professionalism, availability, quality price and high skills of Penji's employees and this procedure of communication through the platform and how to feel that you have additional employees does not even feel like you are working remotely with external graphic designers but more like a team added to the company that regularly provides the required material and in case of emergencies you can stop a project open another project and prioritize that one. 
And exceptional management that allows you to be 100% productive

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

Penji has exceeded my expectations. I cannot find anything negative to date. In situations where I have requested a change of designer, customer service has responded promptly, suggesting another professional more suitable for the project. Their flexibility and attention to the client is truly appreciable. Thanks to Penji, every challenge has been met with quick and effective solutions. I highly recommend!

The specifications for this project are an exact duplicate of the tire-type buying guide Ronvic just completed. The first tire-type buying guide was mainly for car tires. This one is for Crossover, SUV, and Light truck tires and will be added to these products on Walmart.ca. Images of the 4 heroes are attached to replace the highway, all-terrain, winter LT, and mud terrain images in the mock-up. 
Some features are exactly the same as in the other tire buying guide. Please ensure that the tire buying guide has the same look and feel as the other one so that we have a cohesive look for all our product listings on the retailer's website. They delivered the creatives in 24 hours.
