DDUC REFERRAL PROGRAMME
Refer great clients.
Get rewarded for 6 months.
Know a company that needs better design? Introduce them to DDUC Design Studio. If they become a client, you earn 10% of their fees for the first 6 months. No complicated affiliate links. No points. No thresholds.
WHY WE REWARD REFERRALS THIS WAY
A great referral is worth more than a lead.
When you introduce us to someone, you’re putting your reputation behind DDUC. You’re helping us find the right company, earn their trust and start from a place of context. We’d rather share some of the value that referral creates with you.
What does that look like?

The more valuable the client relationship, the more valuable your referral becomes. And importantly, you don’t have to sell the project. We do that.
Who should you refer?
The best referrals aren’t necessarily companies looking for “a designer.” They’re companies where you can see a genuine need for better design.
Companies preparing an important report
Annual reports, sustainability reports, ESG reports, investor reports, impact reports and other high-stakes documents.
Companies raising money or selling something
Investor decks, sales presentations, pitch decks and materials where design directly affects perception and understanding.
Companies launching or rebuilding
Websites, product launches, campaigns and brand experiences that need strong execution.
Companies growing quickly
Teams whose design needs have outgrown their internal capacity and need reliable ongoing support.
Companies with too much design work and not enough design capacity
If their designers are overwhelmed, their agency is slow, or they’re constantly looking for freelancers, we may be a good fit.
The easiest way to make an introduction
You don’t need to qualify the client, explain our pricing or sell DDUC. A warm introduction is enough.
1.
Tell them why you’re connecting us
Give the person a reason to pay attention. “I thought of DDUC because I know you’re working on your annual report.”
2.
Tell them why DDUC could help
A sentence of context is enough. “They specialise in high-quality report and presentation design and work with companies like yours.”
3.
Connect us
Add DDUC to the conversation and let us take it from there.
A simple introduction you can copy

I thought of them because of [report / website / presentation / project you’re working on].

I’ll let you both take it from here.

That’s it. You don’t need to pitch us, negotiate or follow up with the client. We’ll handle the rest professionally.
What happens after you make a referral?
You make the introduction
Send us an email, LinkedIn message or use the referral form.
We take it from there
We’ll understand what they need and determine whether we’re a good fit.
They become a client
When they sign a project or ongoing engagement, your referral is registered.
You earn 10%
You receive 10% of the fees we collect for their first six months.
We take your reputation seriously.
A referral reflects on both of us. That’s why we don’t treat referrals as leads to be aggressively chased or spammed.
Respect the relationship
We’ll never pressure someone into working with us.
Be transparent
We’ll communicate clearly about scope, pricing, timelines and expectations.
Protect your reputation.
We want your referrals to think highly of you for making the introduction — whether or not they become a client.
We do the selling ourselves.
Your role is to make the connection. Our role is to demonstrate why we’re worth working with.
