  • Creative Business Company (CBC)

    Top of Mind. Bottom-line

    Most B2B companies treat brand, demand, and sales as separate jobs which is why marketing investment never reaches revenue. We built Creative Business Co. to run all three as one integrated system from day one: brand strategy, creative, and demand generation, under one roof. The result: distinctive...

DesignRush sustains a directory of over 40,000 agencies categorized by service category, location, expertise, and reviews. We build our database in two ways:

  • Our dedicated team of agency experts actively searches the web for top-performing companies. We then pull information from their websites, online presence, and client testimonials to verify their status and qualifications prior to listing.
  • The agencies listed get notified of their profiles on the website and they can choose to claim it or not, which suggests their availability for more collaborations.

Agencies can also reach out to DesignRush and must go through the verification process prior to being listed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a project management company do?

A project management company oversees, plans, and executes temporary endeavors, known as projects, for clients. Its primary role is making sure a project is completed on time, within budget, and meets all defined scope and quality requirements. As part of the service, project management consulting firms also manage resources, assign talent, control risks, and coordinate communication among stakeholders. 

How long does a typical project management initiative take?

There is no typical duration for project management initiatives, as the project's length is determined by its unique objectives and constraints. Namely, small initiatives like a software patch update can take a few weeks, whereas large-scale initiatives such as engineering infrastructure or developing a new product line may take a year.  

Are there additional costs for project management consulting services?

Yes, there may be additional costs beyond the consultant's core fee, including reimbursement for expenses like travel and accommodation if the consultant works on-site, or charges for necessary project-specific items like specialized software licenses or materials.  

With a cost-plus contract, the client explicitly pays for the consultant's time plus all project expenses, whereas fixed-fee contracts typically bundle most costs together, making the final price more predictable. 

What questions should I ask a project management consulting firm before hiring?

Here are some questions you should ask before hiring a project management consulting firm: 

  1. Can you walk me through a similar project you completed for a company in our sector? 
  2. What is your non-negotiable process for keeping the project on schedule? 
  3. How often will we meet and receive progress update? 
  4. What are the all-in costs, including your fees, travel, and any necessary software? 
  5. Who will be overseeing our project, and what is their background? 
  6. How will you train our team to maintain the project deliverables after you leave? 

What tools and technologies do project management companies use?

Project management companies use specialized software for setting, organizing, tracking, and executing projects, such as Jira, ClickUp, Asana, Trello, Monday.com, and Microsoft Project. These platforms facilitate key functions like task management, resource allocation, time tracking, and risk assessment.  

Additionally, they utilize collaborative technologies like shared documents and communication tools to provide good team coordination and stakeholder alignment.
