We’ve had the pleasure of working with Jake at 320 Creative for our website and SEO, and the results have been outstanding. Our site traffic and online reviews have seen a significant boost since partnering with him. Jake is professional, efficient, and always open to new ideas and improvements. What truly sets him apart is his honesty—if there’s something we can handle on our own, he encourages it rather than charging unnecessarily. He’s been a fantastic partner and a valuable asset to our business growth. Highly Recommend!!

Thompson & Prince delivers impeccable quality of bespoke content.
I'm the CEO of a startup biotech company and Thompson & Prince worked with me to create the level of branding that is appropriate for my company's stage and budget. They built a strong foundation that we can build upon as the company advances.
The team also helped me develop a corporate deck, partnering with outside consultants to support specific scientific needs that I had for the deck content. The final product of this challenging assignment is exactly what I had in mind.
I look forward to working with Thompson & Prince for years to come.

Wholely Admin's Review Sourced from Google
I would highly recommend working with Thompson & Prince! I worked with the team to redo our (eye sore of a) pitch deck and they were absolutely phenomenal. It was clear that they understood what investors wanted to see and the health & wellness space more broadly. They worked within our brand guidelines to present different options for the look and feel of the deck. Once I selected an option, they iterated on the slides and quickly incorporated any feedback I had to create the final version. They were very communicative and speedy while delivering high quality work. They finished all of this in less than two weeks and would have finished sooner if I had given them feedback faster. They go above and beyond to make sure that their client loves the final product and to support your business as a founder. I thoroughly enjoyed working with them and they really surpassed my expectations. I would definitely work with them again!

Ryan's Review Sourced from Google
As a relatively new company (almost two years established), we were at a loss for our marketing efforts. No matter what competitors did, we were always outmatched and outranked. I went to ZGM to help solidify a strong SEO strategy while boosting our paid campaigns by targeting competitors. I was amazed at how much I didn’t know and the results spoke for themselves. I couldn’t be happier to have hired their agency and would highly recommend anyone to invest in their digital marketing strategy. Since I’m in a competitive software industry, I thought it’d be impossible to rank but zgm helped get me higher in the search engines and our lead gen is skyrocketing

Frequently Asked Questions About a Creative Agency
What services do these agencies in the US offer?
Creative marketing agencies in the US offer a comprehensive range of services that help businesses capture audience awareness and engagement. The most common services include:
Branding: Crafting a business’s visual identity, including its logo, color palette, typography, and brand icons.
Graphic design: Producing printed and digital materials for a brand, including posters, presentation decks, annual report layouts, and signage.
Marketing and advertising materials: Creating graphics and animations to promote a brand, including social media posts, paid ads, and digital storefronts.
Web design and development: Building a company’s website and its accompanying landing pages, so that it’s intuitive, engaging, and fully functional.
Video production: Developing commercials, social media videos, onboarding videos, and other video content, and often involves scripting, recording, and post-production services.
Experiential & event marketing: Designing tradeshow booths, conference materials, and AR/VR experiences to attract and engage attendees.
Many agencies bundle these services, so strategy, design, and production stay aligned across channels.
How do creative agencies in the US differ from marketing or advertising agencies?
Mainly, an American B2B creative agency focuses on the production aspect of the content, while marketing and advertising agencies prioritize distribution.
However, many marketing and advertising agencies have an in-house creative team and vice versa, helping projects stay on task and budget.
Here are more details about their differences:

How much do creative marketing agencies in the United States charge for their services?
They typically charge at least $100-$500 per hour or $2,000-$5,000 per month. The final rates will depend on service type, scope and complexity, agency expertise, and project timeline.
Here's a rundown of rates per service:
Logo design: $2,000-$10,000 for 3-5 logo concepts and basic usage guidelines
Visual identity: $5,000-$25,000 for color palettes, typography, imagery style, and accessibility checks
Full brand strategy: $20,000-$100,000+, including visual identity, messaging, tagline, guidelines, and brand campaign materials
Website design and development: $5,000-$15,000 for a basic custom website; however, enterprise builds can range between $50,000 and $200,000+
Video marketing: $2,000-$50,000+, depending on production quality, video length, and required talent and equipment
Marketing materials: $2,000-$10,000+ per month, depending on type and number of deliverables
Infographics: $600-$3,000 per piece, depending on deliverables, required research work, and number of revisions
What is the typical process when working with these companies?
Most creative engagements follow a structured workflow designed for more efficient workflows and feedback loops. A common process looks like this:
Discovery and Strategy 2-3 weeks
Conducting stakeholder interviews and defining goals and success metrics
Auditing existing assets
Analyzing the target audience and competitors
Determining positioning, messaging pillars, and creative direction
Concept development 1-3 weeks
Submitting rough drafts, design studies, or proof of concept
Conducting workshops
Execution & production 2-8+ weeks
Creating the asset designs
Building the website
Recording and editing the video
Developing the animation or illustrations
Revisions & QA 1-3 weeks
Running quality assurance checks to ensure it is error-free and meets requirements (e.g., video length and aspect ratio, etc.)
Gathering client feedback and revising accordingly
What questions should I ask creative agencies in the United States before hiring one?
Use this checklist to interview and compare the best agencies in the USA for your business:
Relevant background
What creative style and service do you specialize in?
Can you share case studies and references similar to our brand and project scope?
What is your experience with our industry and target market?
Services and Processes
How do you approach developing a creative concept from idea to final execution?
What are your quality controls for brand consistency, accessibility, and production QA?
How do you handle post-launch support, updates, and performance-based iteration?
Related to Your Project
Which deliverables are included, and what is explicitly out of scope?
What are the phases of your process, and what do you need from our team at each step?
How do you define success and measure the impact of creative work?
