A Full-Stack Team That Scales, Not Just a Growing Queue
Superside gives you a dedicated team that scales with you as your design needs change allowing you to scale based on how many hours and capabilities you need each month. Have extra hours you didn’t use up during the month? Easily carry them over into the next.
With Design Pickle, one subscription gets you one designer who handles your requests one by one.
A Collaborative Creative Partner, Not a Creative Coin Flip
Your Superside Creative Project Manager has a deep understanding of your brand identity and can quickly brief the right creatives for the success of each project.
Design Pickle takes a more context-agnostic approach to your requests. Your projects are assigned based on the availability of designers. Often, this means design quality suffers.
A DesignOps Process That Fosters Efficiency, Not Just Unlimited Revisions.
Superside prioritizes efficiency and collaboration by assigning every customer a Creative Project Manager who allocates the right talent and resources towards its success.
At Design Pickle, designers are expected to follow your brief as closely as possible so the onus is on you to be able to articulate your creative expectations which often means their “unlimited” revisions become more of a necessity than a perk.
