We understand. 

It sounds too good to be true.
What do you mean that a monthly design plan of £499 can replace an entire graphic design team?

But that’s exactly what our subscription does. It replaces an entire graphic design team. You read that correctly.

Most small and medium-sized businesses live the struggle. You need professional designs for your social media and marketing material, but hiring a full in-house team is expensive. Then there’s the recruitment process and salaries. Merely thinking about it sends shivers down your spine. 

So, you try freelancers. But that comes with its own problems, inconsistent work, missed deadlines and all. You move to an agency next and they’re either too pricey or too slow.

After searching far and wide you finally stumble on us, Brand Mavins and our incredible service offerings. Our £499/month design plan gives you access to a full creative team for less than the cost of one employee’s weekly salary. You get social media graphics, brand materials, presentation designs whatever your business needs all delivered with the same attention and quality you’d expect from an in-house team.

The Truth About In-House Design Costs.  

Let’s talk numbers.

Hiring an in-house designer might sound like a smart move, someone who’s always available, who understands your brand, and who can handle every little design task. But once you run the maths, it stops looking so simple.

The average salary for a mid-level designer in the UK sits between £35,000 and £45,000 per year. Add taxes, pension contributions, National Insurance, and you’re already paying closer to £50,000 annually for one person.

Now factor in everything else:

• Design software licences that cost hundreds every year.

• Training and courses to keep their skills up to date.

• Equipment - a good MacBook, monitor, drawing tablet.

• Time off - holidays, sick days, and slower weeks when there’s less to do.

All of that is money out of your pocket whether design requests are pouring in or not. You’re paying for their time, not necessarily for output.

That’s before you even think about scaling, if you need extra support for social campaigns, motion graphics, or print materials, you’ll need to hire again (and pay again).

What if you could get the same level of creative quality or even better without all that overhead? That’s exactly what the Brand Mavins £499/month plan delivers.

Brand Mavins Design Subscription

Every business has different design needs. Some are just getting started and need light, consistent support, while others are growing fast and require a full creative arm to keep up with campaigns, social media and branding updates. That’s why Brand Mavins offers flexible monthly subscription plans designed to fit your business, no matter the size or stage.

The Basic Plan, at £499 per month, is perfect for small teams or early-stage brands. It gives you 40 hours of creative support every month, covering everything from social media posts to marketing assets, all managed by our expert team. You also get a dedicated Account Manager, unlimited revisions, and monthly alignment meetings to make sure everything stays on brand all with just 30 days’ notice to cancel.

For growing brands with regular design needs, the Pro Plan at £799 per month doubles the support. With 80 hours of creative work each month and bi-weekly alignment meetings, your brand can maintain consistent quality across multiple channels without the headache of hiring additional staff.

And for busy teams that need a full creative department without the cost of in-house hires, the Premium Plan at £1,399 per month delivers 160 hours of monthly design support, weekly alignment meetings, and a dedicated team handling everything from concept to execution.

All plans come with a 30-day notice to cancel, making it flexible and risk-free. No matter your size or stage, Brand Mavins provides professional, scalable design support that grows with your business.

How It Works (Step-by-Step)

With Brand Mavins, getting professional design support is simple, and reliable. Once you subscribe to a plan starting at £499/month, you gain access to a full team of expert designers who are ready to bring your ideas to life.

After signing up, the first step is sharing your requests. Whether you need social media graphics, marketing collateral, presentation materials, or branding assets, you can submit your design needs at any time. There’s no waiting for availability, no back-and-forth chasing freelancers, just a consistent workflow from start to finish.

Once requests are submitted, our team gets to work immediately. Designs are delivered quickly, often within days, and if revisions are needed, we refine them until they meet your exact expectations. Throughout the process, communication is clear and transparent. You have a dedicated account manager who keeps every project on track, guaranteeing your brand’s voice and visual identity remain consistent across all designs.

This approach gives businesses the reliability of an in-house design team without the cost.

Comparing the Two: Subscription vs. In-House

Hiring an in-house designer isn’t cheap. On average, a single designer costs £30,000 per year, and that doesn’t include software, training, benefits, sick leave, or the time you spend managing them. For small and medium businesses, these costs quickly add up, something they can't afford in their growing business.

Now, compare that to Brand Mavins’ £499/month Basic Plan. For just £5,988 per year, you get a full creative team, dedicated account manager, project management, unlimited revisions, and every design service you need. That’s professional-quality design at less than a fifth of the cost of hiring in-house with zero extra expenses.

In other words, for the price of a single employee, you get an entire team working to keep your brand looking good and consistent. This predictable, all-inclusive solution frees up your time and budget, letting you focus on building your business while we handle the creative aspect.

For SMEs, it’s simple: why pay tens of thousands for one designer when you can have a whole team for £499/month?
