    Show Your Portfolio's Range Before You Pitch

    This consultancy wants proof you can move between print, digital, and brand systems without losing quality. Your portfolio is the first screen, so make it easy for them to see your breadth and your grip on layout, typography, and brand consistency.

    1. Curate for the brief: Lead with pieces that mirror the deliverables listed—reports, infographics, social media graphics, and presentation decks. If you have NGO or think tank work, put it near the top. Hiring managers for this role scan for relevance before they judge polish.

    2. Show your process on one case study: Pick a project where you took a messy brief and turned it into a clean visual system. Walk them through your thinking on hierarchy, color, and type. That demonstrates the 'translate complex information' skill they asked for.

    3. Prove you can follow brand guidelines: Include a before-and-after or a set of assets that show you can stay consistent across formats. They mentioned brand consistency twice—so show you can be disciplined, not just creative.

    4. Prepare a deck that mirrors their needs: Your technical proposal should be a designed document, not a Word file. Use it to show your layout skills and your understanding of their assignment. A messy proposal undercuts your whole pitch.

    5. Price like a consultant, not a freelancer: Your financial proposal should break down rates per deliverable or per day, and show you understand the scope. Be realistic about the time for revisions—they mentioned that explicitly.

    6. Talk about your tool stack honestly: They listed Adobe, Figma, Canva, and video tools. Be clear about what you're strongest in and where you'd need ramp-up. If you've used AI tools responsibly, mention that—it's an added advantage.

    7. Prepare for a skills test or a paid trial: Many consultancies ask for a quick sample or a small paid assignment before committing. Have a few templates ready to adapt on the spot, and be ready to show how you handle feedback.

    8. Know the sector's visual language: If you've worked with NGOs or research bodies, reference that. If not, study how they present data and policy—clean, accessible, and serious. Your design should make complex ideas feel clear, not just pretty.
