Decline the work
Cleanest financially, most expensive commercially. The client remembers who was available when it mattered.
Overflow capacity, delivered under your name.
Production capacity on one flat monthly fee, delivered white-label. You keep the client relationship, the strategy and the presentation. We absorb the execution throughput your team cannot take on without hiring.
The problem
Capacity spikes, payroll does not.
Agency capacity does not move in a straight line. It spikes when three accounts approve campaigns in the same fortnight and drops the month after. You have three ways to handle that, and all three cost you something.
Absorb it internally
The team works late, quality slips somewhere, and the cost surfaces in retention six months later.
Hire for a peak
A permanent salary to solve a temporary spike, and you are two to three months from the first deliverable regardless.
What we handle
What your client sees.
- Deliverables arrive unbranded Native source files, ready to present as your own work.
- No contact with your clients We do not need to know who they are.
- You keep the margin and the credit Your brief goes in, finished work comes back, you present under your name.
- Multiple brands on one account Throughput determines the tier, not the number of accounts.
- Full catalogue behind you Motion, packaging and 3D become sellable without hiring for them individually.
Get these six in writing
- Turnaround commitment and what happens when it slips
- Escalation path when a client deadline is at risk
- Confidentiality and non-solicitation
- Ownership and native source files
- How revisions are handled
- Who covers the account when your contact is away
The part nobody publishes
What your real margin looks like.
Your margin on white-label design is set by four variables, and optimistic calculations usually forget the fourth.
Your fixed input cost
A flat monthly fee is a known number. It is the only input in this calculation that does not move.
Your throughput
Effective cost per deliverable is the fee divided by what you actually route. An underused arrangement is expensive; a saturated one approaches free.
Your billing model
Per project or per retainer, cost per deliverable falls as throughput rises. Bill hourly and you are structurally penalising yourself for using a faster supplier.
Your internal handling
Briefing, quality review and client presentation still consume your team’s time. This is where the optimistic version breaks. Count it.
Margin per deliverable = client price, minus the monthly fee divided by deliverables routed that month, minus internal handling time. Run it on your last three months of actual client work rather than a projection. If it does not clear at your real throughput, this model is not your answer, and we would rather you knew before signing.
The real comparison
Hire, or route it outside?
The comparison agencies actually run when a capacity spike lands.
| Hiring a designer | White-label capacity | |
|---|---|---|
| Commitment | Permanent, with notice periods and charges | Monthly, pause or cancel anytime |
| Time to first deliverable | Two to three months | One scoping call |
| Cost in a quiet month | Full salary | Pause, or size down a tier |
| Cost in a peak month | Overtime, or another hire | Same fee, or a higher tier |
| Range | One profile | Branding, web, motion, print, 3D, UI/UX |
| Risk profile | Fixed cost against variable revenue | Variable cost against variable revenue |
Hiring wins when the work is continuous, senior, and needs to sit inside your strategic conversations. Most agencies that get this right do both: senior creative direction stays in-house, execution throughput moves outside.

Straight answers
Before you commit.
Will my client ever see your brand?
No. Deliverables arrive unbranded as native source files, ready to present as your own work.
Can I route several clients through one account?
Yes, this is the standard agency case. Throughput determines the tier, not the number of accounts.
Who owns the files my client ends up with?
Source file ownership is included on every plan, so ownership passes to your client under your own contract.
What if the quality does not match our standard?
You review before your client does, and revisions are unlimited. That is why the brief and the reference material you supply weigh more here than in a one-off project.
Can we test with one project before committing?
Tell us the throughput you would route in a normal month. We will tell you honestly whether a flat fee beats project pricing at that level, and it does not always.
How many requests run in parallel?
One active request on Prestige and Élite, up to two in parallel on Commando. For sustained multi-client delivery, Commando is usually the only tier that holds.
and size it properly
Let’s run your margin on real numbers.
Two numbers decide whether this beats what you already do: how much design you need per month, and what it costs you today. Send both and we will run the comparison with you.
