Would you like regular design work on schedule, on point and within budget? You’re unlikely to say no, but you may not have considered a design retainer. Rid your mind of restrictive and rigid agreement; not all retainers are created equal. Ours are more accessible than you might think.

At may, our retainers are scalable and bespoke, meaning you can chop, change and be as creative as you like with yours. Whether work is retained weekly, monthly or annually, a retainer can save you time and money too. 

Here are some of the most popular jobs we complete for our retainer clients.

From considered graphics to images that speak a thousand words, getting assets right for social media accounts can make the difference between a scroll past and a click-through.

The quality of your newsletter can determine whether your news is digested or headed straight for the bin. A carefully crafted, well-designed newsletter is the way to get your message to land right where it should.


brochures, mailers and promotional materials

A retainer is an effective way of keeping your suite of collateral on-brand, and up-to-date.


powerpoints, presentations and reports

You only get one chance at a first impression, make sure yours shows your business in the best light. Whether we’re creating a dedicated presentation or a template that can be utilised time and time again, our design team will work with you to present you perfectly.
