Design Pickle is worth the time, worth the money, and they’re super easy to work with. [As a Creative Director], I had so little time to do this and the people above me are always like “now, now, now!” But Design Pickle is super helpful, they basically hold my hand throughout the entire process.

Joe Jr. and his team were tasked with standing up five new exciting houses for the 2023 Halloween event season. He needed floor-to-ceiling, unique, highly detailed printed wall designs, and lots of promotional materials, like sizzler videos, flyers, and social media graphics. The team was up against tight timelines for printing and advertising, and Joe knew he needed a wide variety of creative capabilities (which also typically demands a big price tag).
Joe Jr. was introduced to Design Pickle through a trusted colleague and quickly activated two dedicated designers, scaling up to five plus a production coordinator as demand increased.
Meanwhile, a colleague mistakenly outsourced one of the five house designs to Upwork. The result?
Upwork Project: 18 hours/day for 6 weeks, totaling over $27,000 for a single house design.
Design Pickle: Four house designs delivered in the same timeframe for approximately $5,000 per month.
“It’s the same quality, but I had a better experience and a way better structure with Design Pickle,” Joe says.
With Design Pickle, JoeBoo Events now operates with predictable, flexible design support that scales up or down based on demand. Not only has Design Pickle enabled Joe Jr.’s team to get all designs to print on-time with a much more cost-effective price tag, but they’ve also leveled up their digital advertising and marketing with motion graphic videos, within the same subscription and all-in-one Design Pickle platform, creating more demand for their events ahead of schedule.
Joe Jr. avoided the hassle of hiring a huge team of in-house creatives or paying unpredictable, runaway hourly freelance rates. With Design Pickle he got:
All-in-One Platform: From wall designs to social media graphics and promotional videos — all within a single subscription.
- Seamless Communication: With five designated designers working simultaneously, Joe communicates directly through Slack, ensuring consistency and alignment across all assets.
Consistent Quality: “They’re just sending me the best quality stuff I could ask for, beyond what I expected,” Joe shares.
Joe Jr. and his team are scaling their events and services confidently, knowing they’ve got Design Pickle as a partner to handle their creative horsepower, no matter what kind of design needs and volume they’ll face in the future.
