Where each option fits
Freelancers
Good for
Flexible and often affordable for one-off projects.
Keep in mind
Availability changes, each project starts with a new quote, and design and video usually mean two people.
Agencies
Good for
Strategy and big campaigns, with a full team behind them.
Keep in mind
Proposals and contracts before work starts, and small everyday requests can wait behind bigger clients.
Hiring in-house
Good for
Someone who knows your brand inside out, full time.
Keep in mind
Recruiting takes time, one person rarely covers both design and video, and the cost stays when work slows down.
Octulo
Good for
A steady team for everyday design and video, at a flat monthly price.
Keep in mind
Built for ongoing work, not one big campaign. Pick the number of slots that matches how much you need at once.
Your next design is one request away
Pick a plan, send your first request, and see your first draft time right away.
