Ideal platform for marketing collateral creation

Pros

Outfit makes collaboration on marketing content between employees, business unit SMEs, partners, and/or customers easy. Content can be reviewed in a designed, live template, instead of our previous process of creating content in LibreOffice, then having it laid out in In Design, then exporting to share. The Outfit team has worked closely with us to ensure the necessary features (tracked changes, version control, content governance) are either in place or created new for us. We're still in the pilot phase of our switch, but so far I can't recommend this tool enough.

Cons

Some features necessary for collaborative editing were initially missing, but the Outfit team worked with us to develop & implement any necessary capabilities to ensure our work process is as similar as possible to our previous method.

Support team with genuine connection

As a newish client, adopting Outfit was super easy. Your results are only as good as your template designs, so keep reviewing the purpose and usability of the templates and update regularly. Be clear about your brand as well, so your team of users internally understands how to utilize the templates properly.

Pros

A very supporting team at Outfit makes all the difference to workflows for us. People with some design experience looking for a quick way to share the work load on multiple tasks of similar style really can benefit from Outfit.

Cons

Some of our clients internally experience the templates we had designed for their purposes to be a bit inflexible. So we are working this through. For more complex design jobs, we weren't able to make use of Outfit. Gradually customizing to suit out evolving needs.

A fabulous tool going from strength to strength

Outfit is helping me enable a region of diverse teams with quality design . Through templates and turnkey fulfilment of branded solutions, I've massively reduced my workload otherwise spent on auditing and training.
