Different Ways We Work With Clients

Retainer
  • Digital success isn’t achieved overnight. And once you think you’ve made it, there are always more opportunities to leverage UX/UI to push your business to the next level.
  • That’s why we typically work with businesses on an ongoing monthly retainer agreement. Think of Era as your external digital design and R&D department.
  • We understand that not all UX and design work is ongoing, and we’re here to help with your campaigns, and design sprints too.
  • If you’re looking for an expert ad hoc digital design to help with things like:
    • Launching a new product or service
    • Online & offline event and branding promotions
    • User Research prototype assistance

    • Seasonal pushes (Christmas, Black Friday etc)

  • Our team can support you with a digital marketing campaign that targets your short-term needs precisely and effectively. 
  • Already have an in-house team but looking for support from a strategic digital expert? We offer consultancy packages for all our services.
  • Then there’s the option for us to rebuild your activity, upskill your team and support your in-house team with quarterly check-ins.
  • Why use Era as a consultant?
    • We always stay at the forefront of digital and technology
    • We always use modern best practices
    • Our experts have years that can help push your strategy forward
    • You still retain the control and agility that having an in-house team can have
