Repeat Partners

About this block

Repeat Partners is a ledger of the collaborators who came back for more than one project: four ruled rows, each naming the practice, its discipline and city, a note on why the pairing works, and a tabular count of projects and years together. A heading and a running line sit above it, "Over half our joint work is with a returning partner," so the loyalty is stated before the rows make the case.

The partners are one plain array. Counting returns rather than listing every logo is the distinctive choice: a first collaboration proves the work, a second proves the partnership, and showing who stayed says more about me than a full client roster could.

When to use

Reach for this block on a collaborations page as the proof layer, after the featured story and before the process or CTA. It reframes a short partner list as a strength, since returning collaborators read as harder to earn than new ones. I rewrite the four practices, their notes, and the project and year counts to match my own record.

A natural flow around it on a Portfolio Pro page:

Before

• Featured collab
• Collab timeline

After

• Collab process
• Collab CTA

What you can display

One strong use is the returning partner ledger. Other configurations:

• Retained client list. The same rows rewritten for clients on their second or third engagement, with a note on the relationship.
• Long-running vendors. Suppliers or specialists a studio keeps rehiring, counted by projects and years.
• Recurring venues. Events or festivals that invited me back, each row with the city and the number of appearances.

Tip: lead with the running count; a partner who returned is worth more than three who never did, and the header line is where that lands.
