Branding and graphic design studios · Social media

Likes from other designers do not pay the studio's rent.

Social media for a design studio is the portfolio a buyer sees before the website, spread across Instagram, Behance, Dribbble and LinkedIn. GullySales decides what each of those is for, plans posts that show the thinking behind the work, and tracks which one a paying enquiry came from.

What social media means

Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

For branding and graphic design studios

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Designers are not the audience, founders are”

    Behance and Dribbble reach your peers. The restaurant owner opening a second outlet is not.

  • “The rejected route is the better post”

    What you tried and dropped tells a founder what they would be paying for.

  • “The work goes up months after it goes live”

    Agree the posting date with the client at handover, while the launch still matters.

What we do

What we deliver for branding and graphic design studios.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. One job for each platform, written down

    Instagram for founders, Behance as the portfolio link, LinkedIn for the packaging and corporate work, and permission to ignore the rest.

    Result: Nobody is feeding four accounts badly.

  2. A posting date agreed at handover

    The client's launch date, and the date you may publish, written into the handover note instead of chased by message months afterwards.

    Result: The work goes up while it is still news.

  3. Posts built from the routes you dropped

    The directions you showed and the client did not take, with the reasoning, prepared as carousels from projects already delivered.

    Result: A founder sees what the thinking is worth.

  4. A caption structure written for founders

    Each post opening with the business problem and the constraint the client set, before any mention of type or palette.

    Result: The restaurant owner reading it understands what they would be buying.

  5. A month of posts banked before project week

    Material written and scheduled in advance, so the account keeps moving through the fortnight you are at the screen until midnight.

    Result: The feed does not go quiet exactly when you are doing your best work.

  6. Enquiries counted by platform

    Which account the message came from recorded against every enquiry and every signed project, reported against the baseline.

    Result: You find out whether Behance has ever brought a fee.

How the result is measured

  • Posts published
  • Engagement rate
  • Enquiries from social profiles

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Platform for this buyer

Where a founder looks at a design studio's work, and what each place should carry.

Instagram carousels for founders
Show the client's problem, three routes and the one taken. A founder deciding on a studio reads the thinking. The action wanted is a message with a one-line brief.
Behance, as the full case study
Keep the complete project here in order: the problem, the process and the final system. It is the link you send when a prospect asks to see your work. The action is to send it with the proposal.
LinkedIn, for packaging and corporate buyers
Post a pack on a shelf or an annual report on a desk, with the constraint the client set. The action is to connect with the brand manager or the communications head and send the case.
WhatsApp status for local business owners
Show a new logo or signboard going up for a shop, with the owner's agreement. The action is to forward it to a friend who is starting a business.
What not to post
Work before the client's launch date, the client's brief or numbers, rejected routes with the client's name, or redesigns of famous brands you never worked for. Show only what the contract lets you show.

Who it is for

This is written for these branding and graphic design studios.

  • Brand identity and strategy studios
  • Independent graphic designers and small studios
  • Packaging design studios
  • Restaurant and hospitality branding specialists
  • Studios designing for D2C and consumer brands
  • Corporate identity and annual report designers
  • Illustration and visual content studios

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the social media work runs

  1. 1

    Understand your audience and platforms

    We identify which platforms your specific buyers actually use and what kind of content they respond to.

  2. 2

    Audit current presence

    We review existing pages, past content performance and any gaps in consistency.

  3. 3

    Build the content calendar

    A plan is created, balancing genuine value with occasional direct offers.

  4. 4

    Implement and post

    Content is created and published consistently on the agreed schedule.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track enquiries alongside engagement and adjust the content mix based on what actually performs.

Why us

Why a studio brings us in for its own pipeline.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    We work the part after the enquiry as well: the reply, the follow-up, the proposal and the CRM your own pipeline runs on.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Can we post client work before the launch?
Only with the client's written agreement, settled at the proposal stage. Blur the name until launch.
How often should a small studio post?
One project a month, written properly. A daily schedule dies in project week.
Can we post spec work or redesigns of well-known brands?
You can, if the caption says plainly that it is a personal exercise and not a client project. Do not show it as real work or use the brand's name to attract attention. A founder wants to see how you solve their problem, so client work is better.
Do we need the client's permission to show the work in our portfolio?
Yes, put it in the agreement. A clause that lets you show the finished work after launch, and says what stays private, avoids a later argument. If an old project has no such clause, ask in writing before you post it.
How do we justify our fee against cheap online logos?
Show what the fee buys beyond the file. A cheap logo comes with no trademark check, no guidelines and no artwork sized for the signboard. A scoped package lists those lines, so the founder sees what the gig-site price leaves out.
Should we check trademarks before presenting a name?
Yes, at least a basic public search of the trademark registry in the client's class. Add a note that a formal search and filing belong with a trademark attorney. It saves the client from falling in love with a name they cannot protect.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
