Your consultancy
The better educated and informed your clients are the more
they will respect, invest in and value design. DBA members
are equipped with the know-how and the evidence to articulate
the value of design to their clients.
DBA membership provides:
- Professional credentials
Gain greater impact and gravitas as a member of your industry
association. Business and government increasingly look for
trade association membership from consultancies. Your consultancy,
and your industry achieve a stronger professional standing
with evidence that you operate by a code of conduct.
- A presence in the DBA Member's Directory
This provides design buyers searching online with an overview
of your consultancy and work, your contact details and a
direct link to your own website.
- Use of DBA marketing materials
Refer to your consultancy as a DBA member on stationery,
marketing materials and on your website.
- Design Effectiveness Awards
DBA members enjoy substantial discounts on entry fees to
the only awards that generate hard proof of design's impact
on business performance. Winning a Design Effectiveness
Award offers a powerful lever for further work from your
client and from future prospects. Winning case studies are
published in the DBA's 'Book of the Night', which is sent
to thousands of design buyers, and promoted as part of the
DBA's ongoing media relations campaign. Winning work also
has the potential to be displayed in exhibitions throughout
the UK and abroad in trade missions and exhibitions.
- Networking opportunities
DBA members receive exclusive invitations to networking
events such as the DBA Masterclass series, attended by private
and public sector clients and leading business figures.
- Regular mailings on business research
The DBA keeps members up to speed on new evidence of design's
impact as it appears, enabling you to better articulate
the effect of design to your clients.
Your industry
The DBA's work represents real and ongoing investment in the
future of your design industry. One of our key roles is to
help establish design as an investment and not an expense
and to help position design as a critical link in the business
process.
DBA membership provides:
- A voice to business and government
The DBA is the main intermediary between the design profession
and the sectors it serves. Through events, seminars, publications,
workshops and talks, the DBA aims to educate, inform and
inspire the private and public sector.
- Tangible evidence from the Design Effectiveness
Awards
Year after year, the Awards generate irrefutable evidence
that, managed well, design is an investment that can yield
spectacular results. They demonstrate to clients the value
of involving design at the very start of projects and of
setting measures which record the return on investment of
design work.
- Tailored management guides for your clients
Specific guides and information for your clients on the
purchasing of design and the management of the design process
for maximum effectiveness.
