FAQ
Why does this exist?
Agencies are great at building the brand system, but most CPG teams need help actually running it week to week. Founders end up stitching together freelancers, and the brand slowly drifts. Relish DaaS is the bridge, agency-level design execution in a managed monthly retainer, so your brand looks consistent as you grow, without paying full agency rates every month.
What do I get each month?
Starting at $2,200/month, you get about 20 hours of designer time from a CPG-experienced designer, plus an account lead and extra team eyes on key deliverables so the work stays sharp and on-brand. What that turns into depends on your needs. Some months it’s a mix (labels, decks, social, email, print). Other months it’s a steady rhythm (like monthly ad creative). We shape the retainer around what you actually need, so the hours go to the right place.
Need more than 20 hours? We’ll either add hours or bump you to the next tier.
Are there contracts or minimum commitments?
No. No long-term lock-ins, no weird minimums. If your needs change, you can pause or stop. All we ask for is 15-day notice.
Why not just hire a freelancer?
Freelancers can be great, until they disappear, get booked, go on vacation, or just don’t “get” CPG. With Relish DaaS, you’re not relying on one person. You get a stable team, a workflow, and agency standards, so everything stays on-brand and polished without starting from zero every time.
About
Relish is a CPG-focused creative studio.
We built Design-as-a-Service because launching a brand is only half the battle. Keeping it consistent in the real world is the other half. Most teams can’t keep paying agency rates for day-to-day execution, sales sheets, email, social, so the work gets stitched together and the brand starts to drift.
DaaS closes that gap with a CPG-experienced team and a steady monthly rhythm, so everything stays sharp, on-brand, and polished.
