By incorporating graphic design services into your operation, both the in-plant and the parent organization will benefit. Those who have done it tell how they made it happen.

We are a manufacturing company, so few departments even want the responsibility of managing graphic design. When I proved I knew what I was doing and expressed interest in it, management was happy to merge the two.

At that time our marketing department also had one graphic designer, but soon after that she left the company and I proposed to them that we could take over the workload. They agreed to do that in the short term while they looked for a replacement, but it worked out so well that they never did replace the position.
