Graphic Design for St Ives Businesses
A trades business in St Ives running a van, a market stall banner and Google ads simultaneously often has no one keeping all three looking consistent. Freelancers added without a system tend to pull the brand a little further from itself each time. We're based on Hills Road in Cambridge, about twenty five minutes away, working as a retainer or project team, briefed once and delivering to a plannable due date.
About us
Clickscope is a small design team based in Cambridge, about twenty five minutes from St Ives. Local traders and trades businesses use us for ad creative, signage and print, delivered on a rolling retainer or project by project. We're a Cambridge digital marketing agency about 25 minutes away, close enough that design decisions get made in person, not over email chains.
Our MISSION
Clear the backlog, then keep the creative supply moving
We start by finding out where design is genuinely the bottleneck for a St Ives business, then agree whether a retainer, a fixed project or overflow support fits best. One inbox takes every brief, and each one comes back with a deadline you can rely on.
Judged on what the creative earns
Ad sets live or die on what the account reports as winning, never on which concept we happen to prefer, and we scale accordingly.
How we run graphic design for St Ives businesses
01 / How we work
Three ways to work with us
Retainer for a constant flow of work, fixed price projects such as signage or a market stall banner, or overflow support alongside an in-house designer at busy periods.
Two rounds of amends, rarely both used
We agree the brief upfront, which is why most work is signed off first round, and a second round is included as standard cover.
Editable files, kept in your own storage
Everything, layered source files, editable vectors, organised exports, sits in your storage, and font licence status is written down.
WHY CHOOSE US
Why St Ives businesses keep our design support
+£239,000 a month
A construction client saw a 132% revenue increase year on year, worth around £239,000 a month, once the campaigns carrying their creative were rebuilt around real buyer terms.
Senior-led design, start to finish
One designer agrees your brief and then does the work themselves, retainer or one off project, not a junior stepping in afterwards.
No lock-in, on any arrangement
Retainer, project or overflow, the terms are the same: rolling monthly, with 30 days' notice needed to leave and nothing owed after.
Client Results
One St Ives client, new to paid advertising, grew £25,300 of spend into £891,000 in sales. An account performing at that scale gets through creative concepts quickly and can't survive on one static advert. Having design and media under one roof is how we keep that supply coming without a handover delay.
