Hello there, welcome to PDQ
we deliver creative and pre-press solutions for publishers
Here at PDQ we really do care about quality. Not just quality of service, but the quality of the finished product. We have strict quality control policies in place at every level of every project, regardless of size or value.
We won’t just tell you what needs to be done. We listen and respond to your feedback at every stage. We realise that the needs of each client will be different, which means our service will be tailored for you and just you.
We keep a very keen eye on costs, because we know that you do too. We provide competitive pricing for any project, by-the-hour, or all-inclusive, that way you know exactly how much, before we begin your project.
Managing a project successfully is often the most important aspect of our service. We provide exceptionally well honed project management skills that cover initial concepts and ideas to the finished and highly polished product.
We’re technology- led but we never forget the personal touch.
PDQ Digital Asset Management helps you work more efficiently. It makes it easy to manage and distribute digital assets for multiple jobs and campaigns.
This service provides a centralised library to store all of your assets. For creatives, this could include images, videos or creative work in progress; for marketing departments: briefs, presentations and approved artwork. With everything in one spot, all approved users can access, browse, search and download what they need.
This way everyone who touches the brand has what they need to do their best work.What’s more, it’s all online, and requires no special software or hardware and very little training. It’s incredibly intuitive, making it easy to share assets both locally and globally.
Your clients can access files anytime, anywhere, all they have to do is log on from the web. With the ability to localise meta data, PDQ Asset Management makes sharing simple.
Simply access it through your web browser.
