View company profile

SketchDeck's journey began in 2013, born from the vision of co-founders Chris Finneral and David Mack. They recognized a common frustration among businesses: the challenge of accessing high-quality, on-brand design quickly and efficiently. What started as an idea to solve everyday design bottlenecks soon blossomed, attracting early backing from prestigious names like Y Combinator in their Winter 2014 batch. This early support provided the fertile ground for SketchDeck to cultivate its innovative platform, which uniquely combined talented human designers with smart technology to streamline the creative process. The initial focus was on transforming how companies, from burgeoning startups to established enterprises, approached their design needs, particularly for marketing, sales, and communication materials.

Over the years, SketchDeck meticulously built its reputation by delivering consistent, professional design work across a spectrum of requirements, from compelling presentations and engaging infographics to comprehensive branding projects. The company's model was designed for scalability and speed, addressing the dynamic demands of modern businesses. This commitment to evolving with client needs led to the expansion of their services, embracing a full suite of creative solutions. The platform grew not just in its offerings but also in its global reach, fostering a distributed team of creative professionals. A significant milestone in SketchDeck's evolution came in March 2023, when it was acquired by 24 Seven, a prominent digital marketing and creative recruiting firm. This acquisition marked an exciting new chapter, aiming to further SketchDeck's mission to democratize professional creative design and significantly expand its scale and capabilities, integrating its strengths into 24 Seven's broader suite of talent solutions and studio services. Today, SketchDeck continues its narrative as a next-generation creative agency, dedicated to helping brands realize their limitless potential through quality creative and digital solutions, delivered on demand.
