Quick turnaround times, quality work. I always wake up with some progress from the previous day.

The Solution

Delesign delivered exceptional designs while they sleep.

‘Quick turnaround times, quality work. I always wake up with some progress from the previous day.” - Michael Shoup

After signing up to Delesign and going through their onboarding process, Michael and his team were matched to their dedicated designer, Enrico. Through this schedule, they are able to submit their projects and feedback to their designer during the day, and wake up the next morning with a completed project.

They have been with their ‘night shift’ designer ever since they partnered with Delesign which resulted in their workforce being expanded. 12SM was now effectively working 24 hours a day with their design team, Delesign, working while the rest of their team were sleeping. This saved them time, resulting in greater productivity and delivering their client services quicker.

Delesign provided them with cost-efficient design service and unlimited scalability

“Unlimited scalability. Expansion to a 24hr workforce…” - Michael Shoup

When they signed up, 12South Marketing only took advantage of Delesign’s design service. However, as their needs grew, they saw an opportunity to delegate their development needs to Delesign, and eventually signed up to their development service. Depending on 12South Marketing’s design and development needs, they were also able to add multiple subscriptions and be assigned to different designers and developers with a wide variety of specializations providing them with unlimited opportunities to scale their business.

Their Delesign designer created solid designs that still surprises them every time they make a design request.

“Solid designs… I love that we get to know our actual dedicated designer, and he gets to know our needs better and better as we work together more” - Michael Shoup

As Michael worked with Enrico, their dedicated designer, he’s able to even dig deeper into 12South Marketing’s brand. As they work together from one project to another, Enrico provides even better output and still surprises Michael with stunning designs every time he makes a design request.

Having a dedicated designer saved them plenty of time in explaining the style they wanted since their designer mastered their branding and preferences.

As noted when he signed up, Delesign matched him with a dedicated designer who is flexible to generate assets on Canva or create assets that can be uploaded to their Canva library to be easily modified.

Michael and their whole marketing team has always been confident working with their Delesign designer.

Their dedicated designer did not only meet Michael’s expectations, but exceeded them. They have always been impressed with how quick Delesign’s turnaround times are and how stunning their designs get every time they submit a design request.
