Design agencies vs freelance designers

Working with a graphic design agency, instead of a freelance designer, can offer many benefits, but it’s not a one-way street. Here I outline the advantages of relationships with one over the other.

As every freelancer and design agency is different, it’s impossible to cover all the advantages, so if you can add to any of these pointers, please do leave a comment.

It’s also worth noting there’s a certain amount of overlap. For instance, my first reason for choosing an agency is because they’re well versed in dealing with large accounts. The same can be true for a freelancer.

Reasons to work with a graphic design agency

  • Well versed in dealing with large accounts.
  • You’re not reliant on the health of one person for the successful completion of your design project.
  • There is often a group of designers collaborating on ideas, offering a broad range of outcomes.
  • A long list of prestigious, trustworthy clients can be offered.
