Benefits of Hiring an Advertising Designer

An advertising designer creates the visuals that make your ads and marketing materials pop. They develop on-brand graphics and layouts for campaigns, increasing engagement and conversions. As a graphic specialist focused on advertising, they ensure your promotional content catches the eye and communicates your message clearly. By outsourcing this role, you tap into creative professionals at much lower cost. For instance, the average U.S. salary for an advertising designer is about $3,840/month, whereas it’s roughly $1,500 in the Philippines.

You benefit by getting fresh design ideas tailored to your campaign needs (print ads, social media ads, banners, etc.). An on-staff designer can quickly iterate on concepts and revisions, maintaining consistency across your ads. Many designers from the Philippines, LatAm, and South Africa have formal training or portfolios in branding and digital media, so they deliver high-quality artwork aligned with Western standards. This role directly enhances your branding and marketing ROI through professional design.

Best Countries to Hire an Advertising Designer

Design is a creative field with talent worldwide. The Philippines has many designers skilled in tools like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, and they often excel at digital advertising needs. Latin America also has strong creative talent (countries like Argentina and Brazil have vibrant design communities). South Africa designers often combine European aesthetic sensibilities with the Western business context. In general, the Philippines may offer the biggest cost advantage for designers, while Latin America might provide time-zone convenience for U.S. firms. Most importantly, all three regions have artists trained in global design trends.

How to Hire Your Next Advertising Designer

To effectively hire your remote advertising designer, start by detailing the project scope, specifying the types of materials they'll create (e.g., monthly ad banners, promotional emails) and any relevant brand guidelines.
Our recruiters at Somewhere will request a portfolio or sample ads to evaluate their style range and quality. To assess creativity, we can help in providing a mini-design brief as a test, such as "create a banner for X product," which will reveal their design thinking and software skills. It's also essential to check their software proficiency, ensuring they're skilled in necessary design tools like Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign). Finally, onboard them with branding by providing brand assets (logos, color palettes) and establishing clear feedback channels. This process ensures you bring on a creative professional who can consistently deliver compelling ad visuals for your campaigns.

FAQs on Hiring an Advertising Designer

Can they animate or only do static design?

The term “advertising designer” typically covers static ads, but many also do simple motion graphics (e.g. animated social ads) if they know tools like Adobe After Effects. Specify if you need animations; otherwise, focus on still designs.

How do revisions work?

Expect to receive draft designs and request revisions. The process is iterative. Make sure the hiring agreement includes a reasonable number of revision rounds (typically 2–3 rounds are standard).

Will they need creative direction?

Usually, yes. Provide your branding guidelines and marketing goals. The designer will take that direction and conceptualize visuals. Good designers also suggest original ideas when needed.

What tools does an advertising designer use?

Primarily the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and possibly online tools like Canva for rapid mockups. They should be comfortable saving files in formats suitable for print and web.
