Should you require assistance in your advertising creative we can help.
Depending on the nature of the help there will likely be a small charge. Typically these support requirements only arise on deadline when we are least able to dedicate time so we outsource the work to a number of specialists that we have contracted for just this kind of work. In that instance EPS (All fonts to be outlined), JPEG (Maximum quality file size) and TIFF  are all acceptable supplied images.
