LET’S BE FRIENDSDo you remember when you left school, and you were overflowing with the desire to change the world? Each new day felt like an adventure. Doing what you love, let alone getting paid to do it, was like a unique and wonderful gift.

This is how we still feel today.

Every office has a few of these secret ninjas – the go-to warriors that save the day, reverse time, and exceed client expectations. We’ve just collected them to form an unstoppable design and development army.

Our promise to you is that we’ll leverage this unstoppable disregard for the impossible for your company. Sure, we have tons of real-world experience too, but where’s the fun in that? Let’s go move mountains with a smile.

WHY CUBICLE NINJAS?YOUR HAPPINESS MATTERSDesign firms have a bad reputation. The stereotype is that they’re filled with pretentious art-school dropouts, they provide grumpy service, they produce inconsistent work, and they funnel everything through pushy account managers. Making fun things with most design firms doesn’t seem to be all that fun.

Cubicle Ninjas believes these sterotypes are eerilly accurate.

Design firms do tend to be awful places. Robotic project managers awaken to take orders as if in fast food restaurants, designers reguritate the same bland tropes, and customers are left wondering why the project didn’t turn out like the sales guy promised.

But Cubicle Ninjas is not your typical design firm.

We understand that design is really a service, so providing customers an extraordinary experience is our number one goal. Our team answers the phone after hours, we stay late to meet that urgent deadline, and we smile with you when the big boss decides to start over from scratch. Happy designers make happy creative, make happy customers. 100 % S AT IS F A C T ION GU A R A N T E E D

WHY CUBICLE NINJAS?WORK DIRECTLY WITH CREATIVESThe big secret of creative agencies is that they can be powered by only one or two designers. If these creatives are busy, have a style you don’t like, or can’t properly execute on your vision, then you’re out of luck.

Other firms organize their designers into project teams. Team A can’t work on Team B’s projects, and vice-versa. But what if Team A’s designers have a brilliant idea for your brand?

Cubicle Ninjas asks all of our seven designers to take part in the initial concepting stages. This allows you to benefit from a range of unique ideas. When you select your preferred designs for further refinement, behind the scenes you’re selecting the team that works best for you.

And you always speak directly with the designers & developers on your project. Sure, we have amazing project managers, but you will never need to play a literal game of telephone again. Your creative team are there to listen to your feedback, answer questions, and share their diverse experience first-hand.

WHY CUBICLE NINJAS?ENJOY UNLIMITED DESIGNSBefore Cubicle Ninjas existed, we saw first-hand that the typical agency / client relationship was flawed. Frustrated clients would commonly fight with designers, who were equally at wit’s end. But why?

Clients needed a solution that didn’t constrict their ability to explore ideas. One that respected the fact that projects can, and do, occur at the last minute. A solution that worked at their pace. And one that understood that unexpected costs or hidden fees hinder a client’s ability to execute effectively.

Meanwhile, designers needed a forum to express their creative vision without fear. One that understood that the design process is an iterative roller coaster, and not an assembly line.

We knew there must be a better way.

Cubicle Ninjas developed the unlimited design methodology to address these pains. We aim to provide unlimited design concepts within a set period of time, ensuring we exceed your deadline, cost, and creative goals. This ensures that no matter the project, scope, or timeframe: we will find your perfect solution. A BE T T E R PROCE S S

Vice PresidentFinancial Firm

With complete nonchalance, Josh is able to motivate everyone to use their intelligence and creativity to follow their passions, wherever they may lead. I found that being around him made me more likely to get out after work and do something more productive than couch-sitting or to sit down at work and spit out a piece of writing that he could magically turn into a beautiful piece of corporate brilliance.

Page 9: HELLO. WEÕRE NINJAS.s3.amazonaws.com/cubicle_ninjas/Hello_Presentations.pdf · 2013-04-16 · Designing, illustrating, and building complex ... they funnel everything through pushy

Imagine all of the items you encountered on your way to work this morning: your pillow, alarm clock, breakfast snack, clothing, or car. All of these are mass-produced. In fact, most of the things we buy each day are made in staggering quantities.

But good design isn’t.

Good design will never have an acceptable quantity of defects per serving or fit too tight around the waist. It will never break down in the middle or the road or fray on the edges over time. Amazing design is custom-fit to your needs, your budget, and your schedule, but it will never skimp on its sole ingredient: passion.

As a society we trade precision for volume. But when building something from scratch, it needs to work better than an off-the-shelf solution. Cubicle Ninjas understands this and have developed a creative process that allows us to draft clever solutions to your most vexing obstacles.

OUR PROCESS

First, we pretend we’re gumshoes. We investigate, ideate, and sketch ideas in tiny notebooks.

Next, we unleash our design ideas for the world to see. PDFs flow like water and the spirit of the piece comes alive.

Then we make the ideas tangible. We take a concept and extrapolate it to its fully realized potential.

Lastly, we refine what we’ve created until it sparkles, transfer files, and provide educational assistance.
