What is a creative services agency?

What does a creative services agency do? 

We define a creative services agency as a multipurpose, interdisciplinary group of diverse folks who create visual tools to help clients share their story, create impact, and inspire action. As an impact-driven agency, iilo helps clients working to address social and environmental sustainability. We provide services like consulting, graphic design, website development, project management, and much more (see our Services section for a full list). 

We want you to get the most out of your marketing efforts by making effective use of your budget, so you achieve your goals. We’re your creative partners, focused on building a long-term relationship with you, and helping you amplify your mission and impact in the world.

Why use a creative services agency?

After years of working in graphic design and communications on values-aligned initiatives, we know how difficult it is to find highly-skilled professionals who get the sustainability space to partner with on projects. Projects often require a group of people with diverse skill sets (graphic design, copywriting, web design). Creating the perfect team can use up a lot of time and money. When you work with us, you skip all that trouble, since we’ve already gathered a team of highly skilled, multi-talented and values-driven collaborators. And we assemble a custom team to match your project needs and budget.

The term “agency” can make some people nervous, because it’s often associated with a high price tag. While we’re a creative agency full of vastly skilled professionals, we know every dollar counts, especially for non-profits and impact businesses. We’ve priced our services to achieve maximum value and high quality outcomes for you at fair prices. Our virtual agency model means we have low overhead, which results in savings we can pass onto you.

What makes working with iilo different? 

• We’ve been working on values-driven projects for over 20 years. We understand sustainability and can respond to your needs and challenges as a mission-led organization and business.
• While all agencies engage clients in projects to some degree, we encourage our clients to be active participants in the creative process. We believe your subject matter expertise and input leads to more creative solutions and greater success in project outcomes. 
• We know process solves problems. We’ve invested in processes and systems, and trained our team to use them, so we can work as efficiently as possible and focus our time (and your budget) on solving your creative challenge.
• Working with a creative agency like ours means you gain a team of collaborative partners with a proven track record of successful collaborations. We don’t want you to stress over finding freelancers. We’ve done the research and know the best people to have on your project.  
• Working with iilo gives you the best of both worlds: you receive high-quality agency work from a team that gets it, at a lower cost than a big agency.
