A digital product company working with an agency on rebranding. 1 of the deliverables is illustration.

The agency first said that illus. isn't part of the new direction. Later said they didn't know why illus. is required. If they went through our website and app they'll see that 2D and 3D illustrations were used.

They then asked me to provide references so they know what I want.
