An external designer inside the team: identity and social media for eight brands in a tech group

Bigtoone brings together several technology and services brands. It needed steady design for all of them without hiring in-house. I came in by the hour, with the group's email and calendar.

In shortThe three key points of this case
01The challenge

Each brand in the group had its own audience and colour. Without a regular designer, every piece came out different.

02The process

Corporate email, a shared calendar and a confidentiality agreement. Then, steady design for every brand in the group.

03The result

Throughout 2025 the group had its own design for all its brands without adding to its headcount.

The challenge

Many brands, one look and no designer in-house

Each brand in the group had its own audience and colour. Without a regular designer, every piece came out different.

It needed someone who knew all the brands, worked within its workflow and delivered fast.

The process

Working from the inside, invoicing from the outside

Corporate email, a shared calendar and a confidentiality agreement. Then, steady design.

  1. Logos and versions — eight brands with their colour variants and files ready for web, video and print.
  2. Backgrounds and covers — corporate backgrounds for video calls and presentations; cover images for LinkedIn, Facebook, X and YouTube.
  3. Event material — roll-up banner, vinyl banner, display stand, stickers and cards for a trade fair shared by two brands.
  4. Templates and feed — a carousel system for each brand and monthly production for social media.
The result

Steady design, no payroll
