Today I'm super excited to be joined on The Alden Report by Johnathan Grzybowski. Jonathan is the Chief Marketing Officer and co-founder of Penji which is an on-demand graphic design service making quality graphic design fast, simple and affordable for everyone. Johnathan and his co-founder created Penji after experiencing first-hand how expensive and time consuming graphic design can be for small businesses and startups. Today, Penji's unlimited graphic design platform provides real-time access to vetted designers which support thousands of brands and agencies worldwide from small startups to nationally known brands such as Rebook, Pepboys, Lyft, 1800-Flowers, and Express. Jonathan shares his early stage struggles to get the business off the ground by grinding it out day and night and maxing out credit cards. What started as a traditional digital marketing agency barely surviving from day-to-day morphed into the thriving hands-on design business that it is today through patience and by learning to trust the process. The valuable lesson learned is that the real customer process may take you in a different direction than expected and you need to be able to adapt at a moment's notice. Penji's goal is to make an impact, not just an impression. Throughout its growth process, Jonathan has made it a priority of the company to remain true to their values and supportive of their community. To strengthen its community, the company pledges 10% of their monthly profits to help those who are helping others in addition to offering their full design services at a highly discounted rate to qualified non-profits and social-impact startups through their Unlimited programs.Thank you so much to Johnathan for coming on and joining us this week on The Alden Report.For more information on Johnathan Gryzbowski and his company Penji, you can visit https://penji.co/.

How Penji was Born Johnathan's passage was met with a ton of failure. His consistent trait of not easily giving up and continually keeping going led him to what Penji is today. After working for Apple for numerous years, he learned a lot about entrepreneurship. Having founded multiple companies before, some are still going strong, but the one thing he's most proud of is Penji. It is his answer to the question, "what do you want to be when you grow up?" He wants to help entrepreneurs and dreamers who have visions but may not have the resources for it. He and his co-founder asked themselves, how can we help more people? What they had then wasn't answering that question. So on a soul-searching trip to Vietnam, Penji was born. How Penji Works Penji provides unlimited graphic design at a fixed monthly rate. For as low as $399 a month, their customers can send as many design requests in a month. They are given access to a dashboard where they will send their design briefs.

After a turnaround time of 24 to 48 hours, you'll receive an initial draft of the project. You'll then be asked to review it and send it for revisions if needed. Aside from Penji's unlimited graphic design, their plans also come with unlimited revisions. This means that you can have your designs revised as much as you want until you get the design you want. After the edits, you can download your designs straight from the Penji dashboard. You can now move on to the next project.
