Graphic Design for Cambridge Businesses
One in-house designer at a Cambridge marketing team can't turn out forty ad variants a month on top of a trade stand and a product brochure. Adding freelancers without a system just pulls the brand a little further from itself each time. From Hills Road we act as a retainer, project or overflow team, briefed once and working to a due date you can plan around. That holds whether it's a Science Park stand or a city law firm's pitch deck.
About us
Clickscope is a small design team on Hills Road that Cambridge marketing teams use for ad creative, print and sales collateral, delivered on a rolling retainer or project by project. And because we're a digital marketing agency based right here in Cambridge, you can be sat in our Hills Road office talking design within the week.
Our MISSION
Clear the backlog, then keep the creative supply moving
We start by finding out where design is genuinely the bottleneck for a Cambridge team, then agree whether a retainer, a fixed project or overflow support alongside your own designer fits best. Briefs come in through one channel, get acknowledged the same working day, and carry a due date you can plan around.
Judged on what the creative earns
What the account tells us is working decides which ad sets we scale, not which concept we personally like best.
How we run graphic design for Cambridge businesses
01 / How we work
Three ways to work with us
Retainer for a constant flow of work, fixed-price projects such as a brochure or exhibition set, or overflow support that slots in alongside an in-house designer at busy periods without taking the whole function over.
Two rounds of amends, rarely both used
Agreeing the brief upfront means most work is approved on the first round, with a second round included as standard when required.
Editable files, kept in your own storage
Source files stay layered, vectors remain editable and exports are organised, all held in your storage with font licences recorded.
WHY CHOOSE US
Why Cambridge businesses keep our design support
£160,000 in one month from SEO
A law firm client generated £160,000 in a single month through SEO, with organic traffic up 344% year on year, once we rebuilt the relevant pages properly, design included.
Senior-led design, start to finish
Whoever agreed your brief in Cambridge is the one designing it too, retainer or one-off project, rather than a junior picking up notes afterwards.
No lock-in, on any arrangement
No matter the arrangement, retainer, project or overflow, it rolls monthly rather than locking you in. Thirty days' notice and nothing further is owed.
Client Results
A local client with no previous paid advertising experience turned £25,300 of ad spend into £891,000 in sales. Keeping campaigns at that level working takes a constant supply of fresh creative, which is why design and media are based in the same building here.
