- Getting started: a free initial consultation – afterward, you’ll receive a proposal tailored to your project.
The Situation
A strong style – but too few commissions?
Art directors, publishers and companies look for illustration and design online – and decide in seconds. At the same time, AI images are changing the market. What’s in demand is a distinctive style and a presence that shows it clearly.
- Commissions come in irregularly – mostly through referrals or platforms with price pressure
- Your portfolio lives on Instagram or Behance, and your own website is missing or outdated
- Art directors and publishers can’t find your style when they search for it
- AI images and stock graphics are pushing down prices and visibility
- Prints, books and merch barely sell because there’s no shop
- Pitching takes time you need for the actual work
What It Includes
What marketing for illustrators and designers means
Marketing for illustrators and designers means showing your style so the right clients find it, recognize it and get in touch – with your own portfolio website, a clear profile for your target industries, insights into your process, a newsletter, a shop for prints and strong visibility on Google and in AI answers.
Portfolio Website & Print Shop
Selected work sorted by industry, clients, services and contact – with a shop for prints, books and merch if you like.
Process Videos & Artwork Photos
Time-lapses, sketches and close-ups show how your work comes to life – building trust with clients and reach on social media.
Social Media & Content
A plan instead of chance: content that shows your style, your projects and your process – on the channels where your clients spend their time.
Newsletters for Clients & Fans
Existing clients, art directors and fans hear about new work, open availability, prints and exhibitions – independent of the algorithm.
Pitch Materials & Press
A professional deck with profile, references and work samples for publishers, agencies and companies – plus press work for books, exhibitions and awards.
SEO & AI Visibility
So you get found when someone searches for illustration or design in your style, your industry or your city – on Google and in AI answers like ChatGPT.
