Challenge
After 40 years in global manufacturing and supply chain management, Dave Alberts decided to start his own consultancy, New Wave Planning, after retiring as a Partner at Argon & Co. While Dave had the expertise and network to succeed, he faced a common startup hurdle: creating a professional brand identity from scratch.
As a new business owner, Dave needed everything from a logo to presentation materials. The traditional options weren't cutting it - freelancers were too expensive, and platforms like Fiverr and UpWork seemed overwhelming. He needed a reliable design partner who could deliver quality work without budget surprises.
"I had to start from scratch which as a new business owner, felt a bit overwhelming. A freelancer was too expensive, and other platforms were too complicated."
Solution
DesignGuru stepped in with a straightforward, affordable solution that took the stress out of brand creation. Instead of paying premium rates for individual freelancers, Dave got access to a full team of creative professionals who could handle all his design needs for a low-cost monthly subscription.
DesignGuru's portals user-friendly interface made it easy to request and review designs, while the flexible subscription model meant Dave could get everything he needed - from his company logo to presentation materials - without breaking the bank.
"The portal was easy to use and the flexibility of the subscription packages is perfect for my new company. I saved £1,000 getting more value than I expected."

"I was quoted approximately £1,750 by another company to have my initial logo and materials designed. This cost me £750 with DesignGuru to cover that (and more!). The portal was easy to use and the flexibility of the subscription packages is perfect for my new company."
