Artefact is not ‘different’,
      and it is certainly not the same…

When everyone tries to be ‘different’ by doing exactly the same things (competitive pricing, service quality, customer care etc.), then nobody is differentiated any more.

When we established Artefact Limited, we set ourselves an unconventional goal. We asked ourselves the following questions: What features of dealing with advertising agencies and graphic design houses annoy customers most? What are their pet hates? How can we overcome the problems they normally suffer? How can we make Artefact a brilliant, design-led marketing communications agency with a true difference?

Here is the result of that analysis:

We do not employ sales/account executives. In this business you need to deal directly with the designers if you are to get exactly what you want, and quickly.

So when you deal with us, the price does not include the cost of someone hired to sell to you! Nor even to ‘look after’ you. Our principals/designers do that directly.

You do not have to suffer the Chinese Whispers effect while the brief you provided works its way from account execs through art directors to graphic designers and copywriters and back again.

You do not have to wait forever to get back something that bears no relationship to what you asked for. You get what you asked for and more, fast.

You are not shielded from the designers for fear that they might leave us and take you with them, or for fear that you’ll try to deal with them privately on the cheap. Our people have a stake in the business, they are professional, and we trust them. We have never been let down.

We welcome you into our studio! It suits many people who commission graphic design work to come in and work a little with the designer to ‘tweak’ a work in progress, or to see how a few of your own ideas would look on the screen. Generally this is discouraged in the industry. You might see how the wheeze is worked, and conclude that the process is not really so mysterious, complex and ingenious as to warrant a price tag of thousands for what are often the simplest jobs.

We hire only the best designers.Everything you put out should be out of the top drawer, and that extends to your corporate literature, annual reports, web sites and packaging — especially packaging! Read our article.

We can develop excellent creative concepts, write smart persuasive copy, and execute the design and artwork to a standard that, to say the least, matches the best available in the market.

We are redefining the graphic design business in Ireland. We bring marketing expertise, real savvy and real ability to the table. We bring top quality creative design at the best prices you will find. Our customers are surprised and delighted. Our clientele includes several substantial, blue chip corporations. We would love to have you join them.
