Studio partnership

Design capacity without adding headcount.

A studio partnership is a monthly design retainer with Zil Studio. From $1,200 a month the studio handles packaging runs, sales collateral, campaign assets, and decks, on a shared board, with unlimited revisions within an active request. No setup fee, no minimum term. Cancel with 30 days’ notice.

How it works

You send requests. The studio ships.

01

Pick a tier

Four tiers from $1,200 to $6,900 a month, priced by capacity and turnaround. Not sure which one? A two-week pilot sprint is $950 and credits in full against your first month.

02

Send requests

Everything goes through your client portal. You queue whatever’s next: packaging runs, sales collateral, campaign assets, decks, and the studio works through it. You can see the stage of every job without asking. No quoting, no scoping delays.

03

Work ships continuously

Turnaround runs from 1 to 3 business days depending on tier, with unlimited revisions within an active request. Print-ready files, every time.

04

Scale or stop

Upgrade mid-month and pay only the difference, or add a one-off project alongside. No contract, no minimum term, and you can cancel with thirty days’ notice.

Partnership FAQ

Before you apply

Can I try a retainer before committing?

Yes. A two-week pilot sprint is $950, delivers real work, and credits in full against your first month if you continue. There’s no minimum term on retainers either, just thirty days’ notice to stop.

What’s the difference between a retainer and a project?

A project has a defined endpoint and deliverable list, so you’re buying a finished thing. A retainer has no endpoint, so you’re buying ongoing capacity. Companies with continuous output almost always spend less on a retainer than on a series of projects.

What happens if I need more than my tier allows?

You can upgrade mid-month and only pay the difference, or add a one-off project alongside the retainer. I’ll tell you which is cheaper for you.

Do you require a contract or minimum term?

No minimum term on retainers. Thirty days’ notice to cancel. Retainers bill monthly in advance; all major credit cards, ACH, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
