Cardume or a designer: what's worth it for your Instagram?

WHICH ONE TO PICK
Cardume is the better choice when…
- You need to post every week and can't wait on anyone's schedule.
- You want copy, visuals and caption sorted in one go.
- You serve clients through Instagram and the budget doesn't stretch to a full-time professional.
A designer is the better choice when…
- You don't have an identity yet and need a logo, colors and fonts created from scratch.
- You need a one-off piece: a campaign, packaging, a storefront, printed material.
- You want someone thinking through the visuals with you, with their own eye.
QUESTIONS
Any questions?
- Does Cardume replace a designer?
- For day-to-day posts, yes. For creating a logo and identity from scratch, or a one-off campaign piece, a designer is still the way to go.
- I already have an identity made by a designer. Does Cardume respect it?
- It learns your colors from your public profile. If your posts already follow the identity, the new ones come out with it. And you can adjust before generating.
- I'm a designer or social media manager. Can I use it with my clients?
- Yes. Each additional brand gets a separate space, with its own identity, style and tone.
