We Create a Partnership

We see our work together as a partnership where we dedicate the time and attention you deserve as a client. This is why we focus making sure we are a right fit for each other from the very beginning.Once we have the project specifics down, we present a proposal for the services needed. We discuss the details of the project scope and agree upon a delivery timeline. Depending on the scale of the project, we may divide it into phases with benchmarks to ensure a focused process. Then, we present our proposal/SOW for you to review and ask any questions.

We Strategize & Conceptualize

We take our research, strategy, and formulate a concept that supports your mission and engages with your audience. Then, we navigate through all aspects of your brand and identity design (including typography, colors, composition, and messaging) — and go through an extensive analysis that would work best to create an emotional response to your brand.

FAQ

Our Most Frequently Asked Preguntas

What is the investment to working with Nicte Creative Design?

We believe we owe it to our clients (and their audience) to be equally passionate about their brand. You won’t simply get us for just design outputs, so we make sure to listen to our potential clients needs before we can establish an accurate proposal. The best way for us to determine that is by setting a time together to discuss these and get some initial brand insight from you.

How long will the project take?

We take in limited clients so that we can be fully integrated in our work and deliver stellar results. Depending on the needs of your project, approval times, and our availability but typically it’s a minimum of two weeks from concept to delivery. Generally branding projects are about 2 – 4 weeks, but a comprehensive brand project that includes strategy, brand design and additional branded elements can take anywhere between 4 – 12 weeks or more. We will factor in time for market research, strategy and implementation and provide that as project benchmarks in our proposal.

What do you use to manage our projects?

We have several tools and systems that make our work together easier to review. We use a combination of tools like Dubsado, Infinity, Miro and Loom.

Can you create content in Spanish?

¡Si! We are fully bilingual here and have done major marketing campaigns in English and Spanish. However, we don’t offer translation as a stand-alone service. This is something we would incorporate into a branding project.

When can we start?

We take in limited clients so that we can be fully integrated in our work and deliver stellar results. Our availability can vary at any given time but we will discuss this during our consult.

Do You use Canva?

We work exclusively with Adobe Creative Cloud products because we believe in the level of attention the product can bring to our clients. We use Adobe Creative Cloud Express for social media content creation because it's built for marketers and small businesses, but doesn't require design experience. And don't worry, you'll get training and tutorials from us. We'll make sure you feel confident with managing your brand assets.
