Standby is Apogee’s flexible design and strategy retainer built for brands that move fast. Choose your monthly hours and get priority access to creative support across design, digital, and strategy — without the overhead of hiring full-time.
A monthly design and strategy partnership that adapts to your pace. Use your reserved hours however you need — from quick creative tasks to ongoing campaign support.
Designed for growing brands, small teams, and founders who need creative momentum without building a full in-house team. Ideal for organizations that value consistency, speed, and high-quality execution month after month.
Access to Apogee Creative’s full suite of design and strategy services within your monthly hours — from brand identity and digital design to marketing collateral and campaign assets. Each retainer adapts to your needs, whether that’s refining your website, creating launch materials, or building new content systems.
Please note: larger-scale projects such as complete brand identity overhauls or full photo / video productions may require separate project-based pricing.
With Standby, creative work moves faster and smoother. Skip the endless estimates, proposals, and back-and-forth — simply submit requests and get results. Each month runs on clear communication, consistent output, and measurable progress. You’ll work directly with the same creative partner(S), ensuring continuity, efficiency, and brand consistency across every project.
Once your retainer is active, we’ll start with a short kickoff to align on goals and priorities. From there, project requests can be submitted through your client dashboard at any time. You’ll receive updates as work progresses and can easily track remaining hours and deliverables. Communication is transparent, timelines are clear, and every deliverable is quality-guaranteed.
Every brand moves differently — that’s why Standby is built for flexibility.
We tailor each retainer to match your pace and priorities, starting with a set number of monthly hours. Whether you need a few hours of creative support or an embedded partner across design, digital, and strategy, we’ll align on what works best.
Retainers start at $350 per month and scale based on hours and services. Each engagement includes priority scheduling, transparent tracking, and consistent communication.
