I signed up and ran two projects on Flocksy to try them out
When I signed up for Flocksy’s 3 Daily Hours Plan, I knew I needed help editing the content in my backlog without taking away from being present while traveling. As an “influencer”, I need to make sure my Instagram is constantly updated, which can be incredibly hard while also trying to film and capture amazing moments to share on my trips around the world.
For my first two projects, I asked my Flocksy team to create:
- One Carousel Post using the photos I took on my trip to Greece, along with my travel recommendations.
- One Instagram Reel from my recent sponsored trip to an Airbnb in Vermont, that would double as an ad for this vacation rental.
1. First I filled out the creative brief and told them what I wanted
I expected the brief to be overwhelming, but it wasn’t. The guided forms made it easy to explain my vision, upload references, and even drop in old posts as inspiration.
I also used Brand Profiles to keep my style guide, logos, and brand colors in one place, which is super helpful for consistency.
2. I got results back really fast (within hours)
One of the biggest surprises was the speed. After submitting my request, I received initial drafts the same day. My designer even sent me a quick note outlining the approach and timeline, so I knew exactly what to expect.
3. The changes I requested were also done quickly
Revisions were painless. Each time I requested a change, updates were back to me within 24 hours, sometimes even sooner.
For a creator on the go, that kind of turnaround is invaluable.
4. The final results of my first two Flocksy projects
My Greek Vacation Instagram Carousel
What can I say about my newest carousel post except: picture-perfect, engaging, and perfectly aligned with my travel aesthetic. I attached a few references for the Graphic Designer Sara and was hopeful that she would understand my minimalist, clean brand style. The carousel post was a visual delight, each slide telling a different story about my recent trip.
I also really enjoyed her ability to organize the images across the slides. I gave her no direction on which photos to use with which travel tips, but she was able to match images with the text in a way that made every image cohesive. As you can see for yourself, the design itself is beautiful, and something I’m proud to feature on my feed.
My Winter Getaway Travel Reel
My Instagram reel brief specified that it had to be visually appealing but also needed to sell the viewer on the idea that this Airbnb is a must-see, and Flocksy video editor Virginia did just that. I sent her a series of clips and videos we had filmed while staying at the cabin, and gave her no other real direction other than: “Please create a reel that shows off how amazing this house is.”
Virginia added her own captions to each new scene such as “Stay warm and cozy by the fireplace”, which was above and beyond what I had asked for. Not only that but the graphics and animations she chose added to the winter wonderland magic of the location. The only revision I had was to change the font, and Virginia had the reel revised and sent back to me the same day! The music she chose for the reel also had the exact “wintery” feel I was going for — I couldn’t have been more pleased!
Was Flocksy’s Creative Services Subscription worth it?
Flocksy has truly been a lifesaver for this on-the-go travel influencer. With their lightning-fast turnaround, seamless briefing process, swift revisions, easy brand profiles, and impressive carousel and reel creations, I’ve found a partner that helps elevate my content creation game while I continue to explore the world.
I also couldn’t believe the sheer amount of projects I could complete. Flocksy has subcategories spanning from YouTube thumbnails, landing pages, Facebook ads, TikTok videos, blog post copy and so much more! Trust me, if you’re a content creator looking to ease the load without compromising quality, Flocksy is the way to go.
To summarize: Flocksy provides access to a dedicated creative team that can complete your projects quickly. While more complex projects do take longer, the work you get back is never going to take longer than a typical marketing agencies timeline and will always be worth the wait. You also build a long-term relationship with your tea members, which can be invaluable. Moreover, Flocksy offers many services, not just graphic design or copywriting.

They’ll act as your guide and contact whenever you have questions or concerns, which can be invaluable when you’re juggling several projects at a time. Moreover, you’ll always be able to talk to your team members and troubleshoot or test designs to ensure you get exactly what you want.
Flocksy's Cons - things I didn't like so much
Here is the only downside to the Flocksy services:
No backend web development (apps, databases, etc.)
Larger plans are better suited for businesses with consistent workloads; smaller plans may feel limited for high-volume teams.
Flocksy Alternatives
There are several design services that offer similar designs services similar to Flocksy (however, many of them don’t offer categories other than graphic design in the way that Flocksy does).
Design Pickle – Design Pickle offers three-tiered plans for graphic design services. However, they don’t offer copywriting or voiceover services. What’s more, in their top-tier plan, you’re paying well over what Flocksy charges for their 4 Daily Hours Plan, and you don’t get as much. If you need solely graphic design, the lower plans might be good options for you. But if you’re looking for a well-rounded service, Flocksy is where it’s at.
Kimp – Kimp also offers unlimited design and three plans- graphics, video, and graphics + video. Their services are similar to Design Pickle. However, because they let you focus on either graphics, video, or both, it makes it easier for businesses looking for one or the other. Again, they don’t provide copywriting services or voiceover work.
99Designs – 99 Designs is a graphic service backed by Vista. They allow users to work directly with creatives or start a contest. They can create graphics for logos, book covers, websites, and more. Again, they focus solely on design. Because of their contest and one on work, the service prices vary.
Tips for Using Flocksy
- Be detailed in your briefs. The more info you provide upfront, the faster your team can deliver.
- Use Brand Profiles. Keep style guides, logos, and brand assets in one place for consistency.
- Submit before noon. That way, you’ll always get same-day progress.
- Communicate often. Feedback loops with your dedicated team reduce revisions and keep projects on track.
