Creative Agency Hiring Guide

What is a creative agency?

A creative agency is an agency that combines branding, marketing, and design strategies to help brands perform better both online and offline. It delivers innovative solutions and imaginative strategies to enhance brand awareness, effectively communicate brand messages, engage audiences, and achieve marketing goals. 

Marketers increasingly recognize the importance of creative quality in driving the success of their campaigns, with 80% identifying it as a crucial factor in marketing effectiveness.  

For example, studies show that maintaining a consistent brand presentation through effective design can increase sales by 33%. Meanwhile, 94% of online users say they will leave a website if it's poorly designed. These insights highlight the important role creative marketing agencies play in driving brand success. 

What does a creative marketing agency do?

A creative marketing agency combines strategy, art, and technology to showcase products or services through compelling visual design and storytelling. It excels at capturing a company's essence through tailored design and copy, crafting engaging content that resonates with target audiences and drives business profitability. 

Creative agencies can offer a full scope of services, such as:  

  • Branding strategy 
    Developing or refining brand identities, including logos, color palettes, and messaging 
  • Graphic design 
    Designing visual assets such as brochures, advertisements, and social media graphics 
  • Copywriting and content creation 
    Producing high-quality written, video, or multimedia content for marketing campaigns 
  • Content planning 
    Defining, organizing, and scheduling the creation and distribution of content 
  • Web design and development 
    Building aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly websites or digital platforms 
  • Marketing strategy 
    Planning and implementing digital marketing strategies to attract and retain customers 
  • Advertising campaigns 
    Developing and executing creative ad concepts across various channels 
  • Social media strategy 
    Crafting and managing engaging, visually appealing content for social media platforms 
  • Digital PR 
    Managing a brand's online presence and reputation through strategic communication and outreach across digital platforms 

What is the difference between an advertising and a creative agency?

The difference between an advertising and a creative agency lies in their focus, goals, and scope of work.  

An advertising agency specializes in creating and implementing advertising campaigns on TV, radio, print, and online to increase brand awareness and sales. Its specialized teams consist of experts in account management, media planning, creative development, production, data analysis, media planning and buying, and more.  

Meanwhile, a creative agency concentrates on developing and executing innovative campaigns that differentiate a business from its competition. It has teams of graphic designers, artists, copywriters, social media specialists, videographers and video editors, and more. These creative professionals collaborate to produce visually appealing, engaging, and memorable concepts, designs, and content. 

Here's a clearer illustration of their differences: 

Advertising agency Creative agency 
Focus on campaign implementation, distribution, and management Focuses on development of strategies, concepts, and content  
Specialized skills: Traditional, digital, and integrated media  Specialized skills: Visual assets, copywriting, and support for marketing initiatives  
Aims to identify the best media channels for securing ad placements  Aims to capture the target market's attention and promote brand messaging, awareness, and recognition  
Applies specific targeting approach Applies long-term branding approach 

How much do creative marketing agencies charge for their services?

Creative marketing agencies typically fall under the umbrella of digital marketing. Depending on the project scope and other factors, they can charge between $150 and $224 per hour

Other than hourly rates, creative marketing agencies also follow different pricing models: 

  • Competition-based: Charging clients at a lower price than more established competitors 
  • Value-based: Based on the perceived value of the service instead of the actual cost of the tasks or the time spent on them 
  • Results-based: Payment is calculated based on metrics such as website traffic, search engine rankings, and brand authority.  
  • Per project: Payment is a fixed price, often based on the number of hours it will take to complete a project.

The top 50 creative agencies on DesignRush charge an average of $111/hour. Around 15.2% of agencies accept projects with a minimum budget of $1,000 for simpler design or content work. On the other hand, 2.6% require a minimum budget of $50,000, which may cover a full suite of services or campaigns. 

Why should I hire a creative agency?

You should hire a creative agency because it can provide strategies that will effectively differentiate your brand from your competitors, something that's crucial in highly competitive markets. With its expertise, a full service agency can build a strong brand presence and launch impactful creative marketing campaigns for your business. 

Many businesses today see the value in hiring creative agencies because they: 

  • Bring creativity and industry knowledge to develop innovative campaigns and strategies 
  • Provide specialized experience and insights into the latest trends, strategies, and tools 
  • Offer a fresh perspective to identify new opportunities and effectively position your brand 
  • Have a team of experts with diverse skills in creative and marketing disciplines 
  • Give you access to the latest technology without the need for costly investments 
  • Adapt to your needs, whether for a one-time campaign or ongoing marketing efforts 
  • Ensure consistency across all marketing efforts, maintaining a unified brand voice and message 
  • Use data-driven approaches and analytics to track performance and maximize ROI 
  • Allow you to focus on core tasks while they manage strategy and execution of marketing campaigns 

Success story 

A strong brand needs regular visual updates to stay relevant, resilient, and aligned with evolving customer expectations. We chose this case study to demonstrate how partnering with a creative agency can effectively revitalize a brand: 

  • Challenge: Splunk needed UX, design, and writing support for a website refresh to completely restructure its site and navigation. With over 100 pages to reorganize, it required a new product architecture and site structure to help visitors easily find solutions, while also updating the messaging to address new user personas and highlight platform advancements. 
  • Solution: Clear Digital revamped the website architecture and created engaging narratives for each page. The creative agency mapped out navigation, designed wireframes, and developed new content. The redesign expanded Splunk’s visual library by incorporating motion graphics, infographic styling, and people-centric photography. 
  • Results: The website refresh boosted Splunk's vibrant and fresh visual style while enhancing the user experience, resulting in a 59% increase in time on site and a 113% boost in form conversions. This success contributed to Splunk's acquisition by Cisco for $28 billion

How do I choose the best creative agency for my business?

Choose the right creative agency partner for your business by following these tips: 

  1. Understand your brand or business goals 
    Be clear about your objectives — whether it’s improving brand awareness, launching a campaign, or creating a new website — to help you find an agency with the right expertise. 
  2. Set your budget and target ROI   
    Have a financial plan by establishing a clear budget for your project and define your expected ROI but always leave room for flexibility. 
  3. Research and shortlist 
    Research and assess reputable creative agencies based on your KPIs. Shortlist up to five companies with experience and expertise in your niche that most closely align with your company's vision and culture.  
  4. Assess their portfolio and experience 
    Review their past work and case studies to ensure their style and results align with your brand vision. Look for experience in your industry or with similar projects. 
  5. Check reviews and testimonials 
    Read client reviews from verified platforms like DesignRush and Trustpilot to assess the agency's reliability, professionalism, and success in delivering results. 
  6. Evaluate their creativity and innovation  
    Assess if the creative agency demonstrates original ideas and a creative approach tailored to different clients, rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions.  
  7. Ask for proposals 
    Send a detailed request for proposal (RFP) to your shortlisted creative agencies. Ask them to pitch ideas and strategies that abide by the creative industries' trade standards.  
  8. Meet the team 
    Schedule interviews with the agencies. Request to meet the team members who will be working on your project so you can gauge if they have the right expertise and are a good fit for your needs. 
  9. Assess communication and compatibility 
    You'll want to work with a creative marketing agency that values open communication, listens to your input, and aligns with your company’s culture and values. So, make sure the agency is responsive and answers all your questions. 
  10. Discuss their process and workflow 
    Understand their approach to project management, timelines, deliverables, and how they measure success. A well-structured process can minimize delays and ensure quality. 
  11. Discuss budget and pricing 
    Inquire about their pricing structure to see if it aligns with your budget and clarify what’s included to avoid hidden costs. 
  12. Choose the right agency 
    Make an informed decision and choose a full service company that aligns with your goals and expectations.

What red flags to watch out for when hiring creative agencies?

Make sure you’re hiring an experienced and dependable creative agency by watching out for these red flags: 

  • Unclear proposals 
    Avoid creative agencies that provide vague or overly complex proposals, as they may indicate a lack of understanding of the scope of work and associated costs. 
  • Poor response time 
    Don't consider agencies that take too long to respond to emails or calls, it could indicate poor organization or a lack of interest. 
  • Lack of transparency 
    Be wary of creative marketing agencies that are hesitant to share details about their processes, teams, or cannot clearly explain their pricing structure. 
  • Unrealistic promises 
    Beware of agencies that claim to have quick fixes for complex marketing problems or guarantee specific results because sustainable growth takes time and effort. 
  • Limited portfolio 
    If a creative agency has a limited portfolio or cannot provide relevant case studies, it may not have the experience to handle your project. 
  • Overreliance on templates 
    While templates can be useful, a full service agency should be able to tailor its work to your specific needs or vision. 
  • Lack of industry knowledge 
    Avoid creative agencies that lack experience in your industry or with projects similar to yours, they may not have a good understanding of your challenges and target audience. 
  • Negative reviews 
    Be wary if they have minimal client testimonials or a trail of negative reviews. Make sure to check for verified reviews on reputable platforms like DesignRush. 
  • No clear handover process 
    Don't work with creative marketing agencies if they don’t specify how assets, data, or project ownership will be transferred after completion. It can lead to problems down the line like loss of intellectual property and usage rights.
