#1 design subscription service in Australia for businesses in engineering, technology , consulting

Great question! Yes of course you can. Though it’s useful to note, that the annual cost of a full-time senior-level graphic designer in Australia is in the order of $90,0000 -$120,000 p.a. Plus super and other employee benefits. The good ones are hard to find and harder even, to find one who is a good fit for your business. Also, that’s just one designer.

The added cost for an internal team to support your designer (marketing manager, content editor, marketing coordinator, photographer, videographer and copywriter) working across multiple channels and workstreams increases this cost to approximately $300,000 to $500,000 p.a. Streamlnr offers a same-value alternative at a fraction of the cost.

We’ve found that a flat rate and monthly membership (similar to a retainer) provide a level of predictability and commercial flexibility that works best for us and our clients. 

This model eliminates the guesswork of quoting projects based on varying scopes which typically creep.  It also mitigates the risk of blowing out billable hours due to unplanned but necessary revisions. In this way, we can deliver high-quality design work  and content faster, more consistently and with no surprises in additional charges to our clients.

Our clients also benefit from a sustained working relationship where we can get to know their business intimately as  a subscribed client member of our smaller and more agile agency. We can then work together to make informed decisions to prioritise design work aligned with business objectives.

The limit doesn’t exist. Once you subscribe, you may add as many design requests to your queue as you like. 

On average, most requests are completed in 1-3 business days depending on the complexity of the request. A core tenet of StreamLnr is to iterate fast, so we move fast to get the first draft/completed design done, to then get feedback and final refinements.

To request a design, our clients (typically in corporate environments) send requests via Email and Slack. 

To manage and log requests, our team uses Notion as it offers a robust task management tool that allows all our clients to view a dashboard of their requests and understand progress on each. 

To deliver designs, our clients have requested work in numerous ways, most commonly email attachments or google drive links/folders. We will cater to your preference on delivery.

We handle feedback primarily through Email & Notion. We find that every client works differently, and we avoid introducing too many tools reducing friction where possible. 

Email is the primary method where managers & directors communicate with us and provide feedback. We then send completed designs via email, and upload to a folder repository that we set up for each client. 

Notion is our group communication tool, allowing multiple client users to be in ongoing cadence with our designers, particularly for designs involving multiple iterations and revisions.

We work in 30 day cycles. Your 30 days begins when we receive the first design request and commence work, not right when you pay. You can pause your plan at any time.

We understand you may not have enough design work to fill up the entire month. Perhaps you only have one or two design requests at the moment. That's where pausing your subscription comes in handy.

Billing cycles are based on a 30 day period. Let's say you sign up and use the service for 20 days, and then decide to pause your subscription. This means that the billing cycle will be paused and you'll have 10 days of service remaining to be used anytime in the future.

Most requests are designed using Adobe Creative suite (InDesign & Illustrator) & Figma. 

When needed and particularly for corporate documents, we import design elements into Microsoft Office (PowerPoint & Word) and Google (Slides & Doc).

StreamLnr does not cover the following design work: 3D modelling,  complex packaging, and extensive print design (magazines, books, etc.).

Totally fine! You can pause your subscription when finished and return when you have additional design needs. There's no need to let the remainder of your subscription go to waste.

Good question. Ultimately, that is up to you to answer. But in a world with endless options for outsourcing design and marketing, larger competitors with internal agencies and in-house teams, and even larger audiences with limited attention spans: Good design with strategic execution, plays a critical role in the success of a business. 

We can help meaningfully improve delivery model efficiency, increase brand cohesion, sharpen value proposition, elevate brand perception, improve market presence, boost lead generation and much more. We stay true to the mission of your business and align with strategic goals that help your bottom line. For us it’s not just about being pretty, it’s about being effective.

We have found the strongest alignment with professional service businesses, technology companies and SMEs, who anticipate the ongoing need for design support required to increase efficiency for client delivery and design content for better brand presence on external channels to enable their next growth phase.

Our creative team all come from a senior corporate background in consulting, finance and engineering. So yes, we’ve been there too. And of course, partnering with us is completely up to you. We sure hope so.

If you only have a couple of one-time small requests, you can always pause or cancel your membership upon completion. We support clients with specific singular needs, however this model definitely adds the most value to SMEs in their growth phase (10-100 FTE).

No worries, we will revise and iterate any request until you are 100% satisfied.
