What are the benefits of having our packages on retainer?
Struggling with unpredictable creative needs? A monthly retainer offers the stability your business deserves.
Managing marketing and creative demands can feel like juggling five jobs at once. Between looming deadlines and tight budgets, businesses often scramble for last-minute solutions. The trouble is, this not only leads to inconsistent branding but also skyrocketing costs . . . Enter the monthly retainer - a smarter way to ensure consistent, high-quality creative support, with transparent costs.

With our Creative Blocks and Retainer packages, you gain priority access to a dedicated team that understands your brand. We're on hand to help you deliver on your cohesive, impactful campaigns. The UK Government says effective branding can transform how businesses connect with audiences. So there's no time like the present!
Let's explore why a monthly retainer is the ultimate solution to keeping your brand sharp and your campaigns seamless.
What Is a Retainer Fee and Why Does It Work?
Have you ever faced a big project, only to realise you don’t have the time, skills, or resources to pull it off? The last-minute scramble for freelancers, the uncertainty of availability—it’s a headache no business needs. That’s where retainer agreements come in.
A retainer is a simple yet powerful solution: you pay a set fee upfront to secure ongoing access to a team of creative experts, ready to step in when you need them most. No delays, no uncertainty—just action, whenever you need it.
Unlock on-demand creativity
For businesses juggling branding, marketing, and design needs, a retainer isn’t just convenient—it’s transformative. At Studio Global, our Creative Blocks and Retainer Packages take this concept further, giving you the flexibility to access our full range of creative services on your terms.
- Consistent support: No more waiting or last-minute panics. Your projects get the attention they deserve, exactly when you need it.
- Simplified budgeting: Say goodbye to unpredictable costs. Our packages provide a clear, upfront investment, so you always know what to expect.
- Scalable solutions: Need more support one month and less the next? No problem. Our Creative Blocks and Retainers let you scale up or down based on your business needs.
Stop reacting. Start planning
Our model is built for businesses that want to stay ahead, not just keep up. Whether you're looking for ongoing creative support or a one-off boost, our Creative Blocks and Retainer Packages ensure you have the right expertise on hand—without the stress of hiring in-house.
Dispelling myths about retainer fees
Some businesses hesitate to invest in retainers due to outdated misconceptions. Let’s set the record straight on the most common myths:
- Retainers are restrictive: Not at all. Our Creative Blocks are designed for maximum flexibility, allowing you to decide how and when to use your hours. No rigid contracts, no unnecessary commitments—just creative support on your terms.
- Unused hours are wasted: Not with us. Unlike traditional retainers, our Creative Blocks offer rollover hours for up to six months, ensuring you never lose your investment. If your workload fluctuates, your creative support adapts with you.
- One-off projects are cheaper: While one-off projects may seem cost-effective upfront, they often lead to hidden fees, rushed timelines, and inconsistent results. Retainer services provide predictable costs, priority access to our team, and long-term brand consistency—delivering far greater value over time.
The truth? A retainer isn’t a restriction—it’s a smart investment in consistency, flexibility, and peace of mind.
The key benefits of our Creative Blocks & Retainer packages
A Creative Blocks and Retainer package goes beyond simple convenience.
It delivers benefits that help businesses thrive in competitive markets. Better yet, it also provides a seamless way to handle changing creative demands.

1. Cost savings
Retainer fees often have discounted rates compared to standalone projects. Creative Blocks provide up to 15% savings, making them a cost-effective solution for brands with ongoing creative needs. These savings reduce overall expenditures and ensure consistent quality across all creative outputs. A small business can save thousands by using a 20-hour Creative Block for its quarterly campaigns. It's cheaper than commissioning separate projects. Over time, this approach builds a relationship of trust and understanding with our team, leading to even better results.
2. Priority access
In fast-paced industries, timing is everything. Our Creative Blocks and Retainer packages ensure your projects are prioritised. They help reduce delays and keep campaigns on schedule. This advantage means that when opportunities arise, or challenges emerge, your business can act quickly. Plus, you'll have the full support of an expert creative team behind you.
