Our take
Finding affordable, reliable and high-quality graphic design can be incredibly difficult. Design Pickle solves that problem by offering users a subscription-based graphic design service.
Founded by a former creative agency CEO, Design Pickle has maintained a strong focus on businesses' crucial graphic design needs. Its AI-powered SaaS platform acts as a built-in creative workforce that's tailored towards marketing and creative design teams who need streamlined workflows, task management integration and a simplification of their creative ecosystem. Compared to traditional graphic design solutions, Design Pickle's service is cheaper and more consistent, making it especially appealing for SMBs.
Design Pickle's ambitious strategy and impressive funding have allowed it to consolidate its global presence, and to better serve UK and European companies. In 2020, Design Pickle made its first move into the global market by acquiring UK-based Design Hero. These collective expansions should help the company to strengthen its lead within the creative enablement space.
