What do you like best about Penji?

Our organization, the Student Clinic for Immigrant Justice, was fortunate enough to be awarded Penji's services and we've been absolutely impressed! The designs are fantastic, of course, but the work flow is maybe the best part. It's really easy to communicate with designers, identify changes, and submit projects. We've loved everything they've done and can't recommend them enough! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Penji?

Nothing specific comes to mind right now. Sometimes the designs feel very "new age" and lack some character but that's all I can think of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Penji solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a small but growing organization, we've needed to update and create marketing and design materials for our organization, such as standard slides, sponsorship guide, updated t-shirt design, and more. They've done amazing work so far and we've received great feedback from people who have seen the designs Penji has done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Penji?

I appreciate the versatility and creativity that Penji's designers bring to each project. The platform has supported us on various projects, from social media graphics to logos. I also appreciate their willingness to perfect any project, regardless of how many rounds of revision it might take. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Penji?

There are some features that I wish were avaliable on the lower-tier packages, such as Canva files. The entry package includes soruce files for Adobe programs, but those are not always accessible for teams on a smaller budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Penji solving and how is that benefiting you?

Penji has been the best investment we have made as a smaller nonprofit organization, making it possible for our team to do more and upscale our communication efforts. The service has been a cost-effective solution for quality marketing materials and public-facing content, as well as reducing employee stress and long work hours.

What do you like best about Penji?

The quantity of output.

Some designs they knock out of the park. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Penji?

The quality of execution.

Some designs take way too many rounds of revisions to get right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Penji:

To have the best experience with Penji, understand what they are and what they aren't.

You won't get the design you're looking for after the first pass. Probably not the second. Maybe not the third. Sometimes not the fourth, fifth, and sixth.

It's awesome when they get it right and it's on to the next project. It's frustrating when you submit a round of revisions and they forget a couple of small details and you have to wait an entire day until they fix what they missed. If you have the patience and flexibility to deal with this, you will like this service. If you operate on razor-thin deadlines and need world-class creative, you will not be impressed.

Overall, we're moderately happy with Penji. For now, the quantity of output is superseding the quality of execution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Penji solving and how is that benefiting you?

Penji has been very helpful in our m&a process by rebranding centralized resources across different geographies.

They are also decent at generating new content if you are patient and diligent in your descriptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Penji?

Most designers can keep matching our established client brand styles fairly quickly. We do a lot of images with changes to text but similar styles, and the team does a good job of testing out new elements when needed but otherwise adhering to the design brief. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Penji?

There is a learning curve to submitting all of your requests by end of day US business hours, and then reviewing your design drafts that came in over night. But that's the nature of productized services like that so once you embrace it, it works quite well with having what you need to deliver at the start of each day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Penji solving and how is that benefiting you?

We previously have hired full-time in-house designers but no longer needed that much design coverage. We've hired plenty of freelancers but it was hard to find one that wanted the same monthly budget that we hire Penji for, who could reliably deliver stuff every day.

What do you like best about Penji?

The platform is easy to use, turnaround time is great (we loved that we'd typically get designs we left feedback on at night revised by the morning), and they cover a range of designs with skill. It was easy to get started, and they aligned with + built on our overall brand aesthetic readily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Penji?

This is fairly standard with most outsourcing, but you need to be super-clear with your briefing. The clearer we were, the better the product was for us. Some designs aligned better with our vision than others, even with clear briefing, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Penji solving and how is that benefiting you?

Penji provides us with high-quality design assets for a variety of projects ranging from social media, blog graphics, sales one-sheets, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Penji?

Penji delivers a team that is both punctual and responsive ensuring they understand the task at hand. They deliver quality work, as promised. Their designers are competent and talented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Penji?

Penji has a talented team, though many of them are overseas. They do offer the option to have folks who work on your timezone for an additional fee, though I often prefer to have the most talented and best fit designer, rather than those bending to meet timezone requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Penji:

Assess your need, and how effective you'll be at using them. Communication is key - you must be able to communicate your need in order to drive the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Penji solving and how is that benefiting you?

Everyone knows that finding creatives is a difficult task. Following those that will deliver timely and follow your lead provides an even stronger challenge. Penji, between its leaders and its talent, present a strong group that delivers consistently, on time, and as expected. When running any business, those are critical elements in order to meet your internal, external and stakeholders' expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Penji?

Penji is amazing! I'm just starting a small business and needed designs for everything. Their flexible memberships made the most of my... let's call it "modest" budget. The design team completely exceeded my expectations, and my customer support specialist Claryse Monroe's service was exceptional! Despite not being directly involved in the design process, Claryse ensured that my requirements were accurately conveyed to the design team. She was prompt, attentive, and provided valuable guidance throughout. Her professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction made my experience with Penji truly outstanding. I highly recommend Claryse and Penji for their top-notch service! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Penji?

You have to make sure you get new design requests submitted before a certain time or else they have to wait until the next day, but that's pretty simple once you know about it. And the time cutoffs never caused any delays for revisions to existing projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Penji solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm beginning a small business and have absolutely no design skills. They helped design my logo, website, invoices, letterhead... basically everything I needed to make my new company look good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
