Hire a dedicated offshore graphic designer
A dedicated offshore graphic designer costs £1,500–£2,100 per month all-inclusive through Aspire Offshore — against £3,338–£4,888 per month fully loaded for an equivalent UK hire.
One person. Your business only.
Marketing teams don't run out of ideas — they run out of design capacity. Campaigns wait, ads fatigue without fresh creative, and every freelance brief costs money and momentum. A dedicated designer removes the queue.
Your designer works your brief list daily in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma and Canva — ad creatives, social graphics, sales collateral, brand assets — learning your brand once and applying it everywhere.
What your graphic designer can take care of
- Paid ad creatives and variants
- Social media graphics and templates
- Sales and marketing collateral — decks, one-pagers, brochures
- Brand asset upkeep and guidelines
- Email and web graphics
- Print-ready artwork
- Image editing and retouching
- Template systems your team can reuse

Graphic Designer FAQs
How much does an offshore graphic designer cost?
£1,500 per month at Mid-level and £2,100 at Senior — all-inclusive, full-time. UK equivalents cost £3,338–£4,888 per month fully loaded.
What software do they use?
Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), Figma and Canva as standard. Licences sit on your accounts or theirs by agreement — raised in discovery.
How much output should I expect?
A full-time designer typically clears 3–6 substantial assets daily depending on complexity — think 60–100+ pieces a month. Matching that with freelancers at £25–£50 per asset costs multiples of the monthly fee.
Will they match our brand style?
Yes — your guidelines lead from onboarding, early work runs through your approval, and consistency improves week on week because it's one person learning your brand, not a rotating bench.
