How We Work

Xtory offers integrated creative services and support. Our value comes primarily from a sensitive approach—and from delivering the highest quality work in close partnership across the creative workflow cycle. Below are the three key areas of professional support that grounds our relationships.

Partnership

Creative Consulting + Design Strategy

Whether it’s an idea, a campaign in the works, or a project that needs further support, we can offer practical guidance around best practices and resourcing for any creative campaign.

  • Anticipatory guidance around project scope and budgeting
  • Creative project planning and workflow support
  • Concept brainstorming and critique

*This service on its own is billed at an hourly rate, and initial one hour sessions can be scheduled online.


 
 

High Quality Creative

Art Direction + Design Production

Our bread and butter is expert creative fluency and deep visual communications experience. This means clarifying creative goals and outcomes, cultivating the strongest ideas around that vision, and executing them to spec. We specialize in:

  • Art direction and campaign / concept design
  • Layout, visual narratives, and storyboarding
  • Data visualization
  • Custom art and illustration
  • Bespoke, high-touch creative and small edition collateral (e.g. invitations or books)

 
 

Integrated Account Management

 

Turnkey support + project management

An integral part of how we work is bracing each relationship with a strong project management setup. This ensures a seamless workflow with each partner and all stakeholders so that everyone can focus on the creative. Each relationship includes:

  • Dedicated account manager and PM support to align all stakeholders
  • A review space for asynchronous review and detailed versioning
  • For our ongoing relationships or retainer clients--tandem cloud-based client system to centralize all admin, projects, and files
