There are two words that are being used more and more by big businesses with in-house design studios; ‘Studio Overflow’. They represent the new creative business solution taking the marketing world by storm, and it’s easy to see why.

These days, many large businesses have in-house studios as the pressure to put out creative is higher than ever with all the digital mediums we now have at our disposal. Emailers, social media content, and web work as well as the countless print comms, keep an in-house studio busy all year round.

However, its easy to fall into 2 very common situations:

1. The in-house studio becomes overworked as the demand for creative increases but the size of the studio does not.

2. The creative becomes less imaginative and stale as the studio is struggling to simply get the work out of the door, leaving them no time to brainstorm fresh ideas and explore awesome visual concepts.

‘Studio Overflow’ is the ultimate solution for a large company in this position. By commissioning out some of the workload to an external studio, the business can benefit from fresh creative talent that has the time and space to come up with something truly special. And maybe something that your in-house team never would have, due to a difference in skill sets and experience.

Here at Holla, we have a whole variety of pay-as-you-go studio overflow packages to suit any business’s situation and we are seeing more and more companies take us up on the offer.

The real beauty of the service is how it can be tailored to a business’s specific situation. In some cases we are simply the ideas guys. The in-house studio handles all the day-to-day grind of getting the usual communications out, but we are called on for that big new campaign or promo idea.

Alternatively the in-house studio is just overloaded with the sheer volume of work. At this point we can step in and take some of that load off for a month, making sure you don’t miss a single deadline or end up putting out standard work.

Other times it is somewhere in between. For some of our clients we take on a whole section of the creative workload on a permanent basis. We currently have clients who plug into us for their brochures and store POS, while their in-house studio continues on their web and social media artworking.

Studio overflow could be the two words you need to hear to take your company creative to the next level. Or we could just be your chance to alleviate some of the stress for a heavy month.
