Review rounds and approvals

Name one person who approves each stage. Collect comments in a single message, and the studio applies them together. This keeps the schedule steady and prevents late changes that would reopen finished work.

Consolidate feedback.

Delivery formats and reuse

Ask for the formats you will actually use. Web, print, presentation and social channels each need their own files. The studio delivers organised sets so that your team can reuse the material across campaigns.

The easiest way to start is to send your files and a short description. The studio replies with a clear scope and a schedule, so that you can decide with full information and without pressure.

Build the calendar for Washington projects backwards from the date the images or files are needed. Leave time for a preview, one consolidated round of comments and final delivery. A seven-day express service is available at Rendimension for suitable scopes.
