A letter from the founder:
Hi there!
My name is Kris and I'm the Founder of Pulp Engine. Pulp Engine is a new company and brand with a unique mission being driven by the experience of previous enterprises and the spirit of great art and design. That is to say;
'This ain't my first rodeo, pardner!' I've been around Canberra, ACT in a couple of capacities over the last five years, freelancing on projects for game and film, running and contributing to start up ventures and even teaching what I know at the university level.
Pulp Engine is, however, designed to be a clean break and a fresh start, I'm looking to do something a little different here, a little bit new and probably a little bit risky. Above all I want to provide a service that solves a problem in the Canberra community, I want my work and the work of each and every person under the Pulp Engine brand to be solving the illustration and animation challenges of that community. To that end, I've put together a short survey to help me really understand you and the challenges you face concerning Illustration, Art, Design and Animation. You can find that survey HERE.

The Founding Four:
Crucially, what this all means is that I'm bringing my experience and the experiences of those I work with to bare on this project, building it from scratch to satisfy the real world needs of your business. In the light of this foundational work there are several points that I would like to enumerate and then there is something I would like to ask you to do that I think will benefit us both.
Firstly, our existing body of work is disparate and generally owned if not in full by other entities, than entirely tailored towards their unique circumstances. We need a new portfolio and we need new testimonials in order to showcase the work we are capable of providing and the problem solving we can bring to bare on a range of projects.
Secondly, Pulp Engine will be running on a distributed model where a core creative team will be running the business and project management side of things while a wider community of super talented freelancers and contract workers will be brought on to complete pre-portioned tasks within their areas of expertise.
Finally, Pulp Engine is being positioned as a premium brand, meaning that we will not be taking on any projects void of meaning, we do not work per hour and we do not negotiate our process.
What does this mean for you as the client?
1. We are looking for foundational clients who can handle a bit of 'laying the track in front of the train' in exchange for priority and subsidised work.
2. We are interested in talking to anybody with a high level of skill who would like to be part of working within bigger projects. We are creating a database of talent to tap into which in turn will make us more versatile in achieving the client's (Your) needs.
3. We want to work with clients who know the value of their business and can quantify the effect our work will have in helping to achieve their goals. This is not for everybody.
We have created an opportunity for four superstar clients to come on board as our founding clients. They will understand that we are building our processes and cannot ensure an absolutely bump free ride. In exchange for your understanding we have the opportunity to offer free work on any one design challenge your business is facing over the next six to eighteen months, given with assurance of priority in that time. At the end we will compile your reviewed experiences and offer them as case studies to future and prospective clients. As a member of the Founding Four, you will also receive ongoing subsidy, to be be defined, on any future work you contract with us. Fun, yeah?
So what should you do now?
Please complete the survey, this is the number one way we can find out the best way to meet your needs and only those who have submitted will have the chance to go on as Founding Four members. After that go over to our new client on-boarding page and complete the questionnaire, making sure to comment that you would like to be considered for the Founding Four program. Someone will be in touch shortly thereafter to discuss either the work you would like commissioned or your entry into the Founding Four program.
Thank you for your early interest in Pulp Engine and I cannot wait to see all of the awesome work we can make together.
Sincerely,
-Kris Akhurst
