And the list keeps growing as we daily recruit more and more experts to fill any gaps in our skill set.

Because the best is in the field is usually too expensive to afford full time, Essanin Design offers clients the alternative of hiring them only as and when they are needed and pay them by the hour.

Essanin Design also makes sense when you have one-off jobs which are best done in house and you just need a designer or writer to handle them. Essanin Design experts are available as and when needed through out the week including weekends. They are only paid for the time they are hired for the specific job or purpose.

Essanin Design is part of Cameron Pale & Medina, a full service agency and member of the Accredited Advertising Agency Association (4As) & International Advertising Association (IAA).

CPM is the only agency ever to win a national advertising award even before completing a full year in operation. The following year it repeated the feat… and got bored with award ceremonies.

Since then, more than 400 clients have enjoyed the multifaceted impact of inclusive communication – a strategic planning toolset that redefines integration. (Visit www.cpm.lk for more on inclusive communication)

Simple. Essanin Design has no intermediaries or account executives to relay messages up and down. Instead, you call in the expert in the field and deal only with him.

For instance, a media plan is discussed with the media planner, who works directly on your job. Thereafter, everything from ad placement to monitoring and invoicing are carried out by the specialists. You only pay them for their time.
