Summary
XV Premium, a curated business referral network, hit a design bottleneck: a surge of urgent presentations, slides that needed more polish, and no vector logo to build from. Through the Honeycomb plan, Design Bees acted as an extension of their marketing team, redesigning presentations, building a vector logo suite, clearing the collateral backlog and editing social video. In two months the backlog was gone, no deadline was missed, and XV Premium paused the plan once the work was done.
The Problem
XV Premium relies on high-quality presentations and marketing materials to communicate their services to clients and stakeholders, but managing the volume of design requests internally had become a daily bottleneck. With a deadline approaching and their marketing manager at capacity, three challenges stacked up:
– Workload surge: a mountain of urgent presentations that exceeded the internal team's bandwidth.
– Design limitations: strong content, but slides that lacked the visual sophistication and dynamic layouts needed to engage.
– Missing brand fundamentals: no vector logo, which restricted the team from producing high-quality materials for print and digital.
The Solution
To support their need for high-volume, rapid-turnaround creative, XV Premium partnered with Design Bees through the Honeycomb plan. Design Bees functioned as a seamless extension of their marketing team, delivering:
– Elevated presentations: dense, text-heavy PowerPoints converted into dynamic, professional decks, strictly on brand.
– A brand foundation: high-resolution vector logos built to scale across future marketing and merchandise.
– A cleared collateral backlog: everything from flyers and email signatures to branded digital forms.
– Multimedia support: edited social video reels of member interviews to lift their social presence.
The Results
The partnership gave immediate relief to an overwhelmed marketing manager, and not a single deadline was missed. In just two months, Design Bees cleared a backlog of design and video work that would have taken the internal team quarters to complete. Because the model is a flexible subscription, XV Premium paused their Honeycomb plan once the major projects were done and the backlog was clear, getting exactly what they needed, when they needed it, without being locked into a long-term agency retainer.
When a team is buried under deadlines, the last thing they need is another process to manage. We stepped in as an extension of XV Premium’s marketing team, cleared the backlog, and gave them presentations and brand assets they could be proud of, at the pace their deadlines demanded. Seeing that pressure lift off their marketing manager is exactly why we do this.
