Real price ranges for banners, social templates, reports, campaign creative and presentation decks, and how design is quoted.

The short version
  • Single pieces like banners, social templates and slides usually cost $1,500 to $3,000.
  • Campaign creative, reports and presentation decks typically run $4,000 to $13,000.
  • We quote on estimated design hours and send hours updates as we go.
  • Design can be built into a monthly content retainer.

Short answer: single design pieces such as banners, social templates or a few slides usually cost between $1,500 and $3,000. Bigger jobs like campaign creative, annual reports, brochures and presentation decks typically run between $4,000 and $13,000, depending on page count and how many formats you need.

Typical price ranges

  • Banners, ads and signage: $1,500 to $3,000 for a set built from one design
  • Social templates: $1,500 to $3,000 for a set your team can edit in Canva
  • Presentation, pitch and tender decks: $4,000 to $13,000 depending on slide count and whether you need an editable master template
  • Annual and impact reports: $4,000 to $13,000 depending on page count, charts and accessibility requirements
  • Campaign creative: $4,000 to $13,000 for one idea rolled out across every channel and size

How design is quoted

We quote on the design hours we expect the job to take, then send hours updates as we go. If the scope changes, you know before the bill does. That keeps the conversation about the work, not about change requests.

What drives the cost

  1. Number of formats: one ad in 12 sizes is more work than one ad in two.
  2. Page count: long documents need layout, charts and proofing time.
  3. Accessibility: accessible, print ready files take longer to produce properly.
  4. Rounds of change: clear feedback from one decision maker keeps hours down.
  5. Starting point: designing within an existing brand is faster than creating a new look.

Design that matches your video and photos

Because our designers sit alongside our video and photography team, campaign graphics, reports and decks use imagery shot for them. For the National Film and Sound Archive, our designer even created a fictional corporate brand to dress venue hire spaces, so the photos looked like real events without promoting anyone else's logo.

Common questions

Can you design for our existing brand?

Yes. Most of our design work sits within an existing brand: campaigns, reports, decks and templates.

Can design be part of a retainer?

Yes. Our content retainers start at $7,000 a month and include graphics designed alongside your video and social.

Do you design brand identities?

Yes. Logo, colour and type systems with guidelines, applied across your website and content by the same team.

What files do we get?

Print, web and social files, plus editable templates where they help your team.
