Fonder Studio Reviews & Testimonials
Tracy Warneke Founder at Pick of the Pantry
5.0★
Branding Review from Tracy Warneke
Stop looking for a branding company. Fonder is who you want on your team!I went to Fonder because I had an idea of what I wanted my brand to be, but I wasn't sure how to properly communicate my vision to the world. The people at Fonder took the time to listen to my messaging and show that they clearly understood what my brand was, what it stood for, and what the world should see and feel when they look at it. Fonder took what I could only describe and made a tangible brand image and feel that truly resonates with the brand's vision and my customers. Fonder made the intangible tangible. Throughout the entire process, I was blown away at their professionalism, timeliness, and openness to accept feedback and work with me. I'm thrilled with what Fonder created, and I will be going back to them for any future work. I would absolutely recommend Fonder. Stop searching for a branding company. You've found the best one here!

Branding Review from Undisclosed
The challenge was to expand into a new division of the organization. The goals were the messaging, positioning, overall look/feel of the new division, and the creation of the assets to implement into the overall global website.The outcome was visual excellence. The commitment to learning our business and Tom's spectacular, overall creative direction is really second to none. His calmness, vision, and ability to drive the project forward with professionalism and creativity were appreciated.

I had the pleasure of partnering with Media FRENZY to help with brand repositioning and strategic work, and the experience was phenomenal. They were truly amazing partners—strategic, creative, and always willing to push us when needed. Their in-depth process ensured every detail was addressed, and they remained open to discussions, feedback, and exploring new concepts with us.Media FRENZY consistently brought fresh ideas to the table, showcasing their ability to think outside the box while keeping our goals at the forefront. Their collaborative approach and dedication made them excellent partners throughout the journey. Sarah, Dave and team were professional, collaborative and quite frankly, a FUN team to partner with.

Melissa Eick's Review Sourced from Google
ICG-ADV took the time to deeply understand not just my organization's work, but the heart of our mission. Their work renewed, refreshed, and encouraged the entire team and even helped us see ourselves more clearly. We were able to start implementing their advice immediately, improving how we show the world who we really are.ICG’s support came at the organization's ten-year anniversary. The work they did will leave an indelible mark and launch us into the next ten years stronger than ever.If you're considering whether to work with them, I enthusiastically recommend their services.
Whitney Anderson Review from Google

Whitney Anderson's Review Sourced from Google
Working with ICG has been one of the most meaningful experiences in our nonprofit organization’s ten-year history.We came to them in desperate need of a brand refresh. Our work is deeply complex and nuanced, and for years we had struggled to communicate it in a way that people could fully understand. Because we are so immersed in the work every day, we couldn’t quite find the words to name what we do in a clear and compelling way. ICG did.From the very beginning, their team was professional, thoughtful, and deeply curious. They took the time to truly learn about our work, and in what can be a very vulnerable process, they created a space where we felt safe, seen, and understood. They also brought so much joy into the process—we laughed a lot, which made something that could have felt heavy or cumbersome instead feel energizing and human.What they created for us is hard to put into words. They brought life, voice, and light to our brand in a way we had never experienced before. They named what we had been trying to name for ten years but couldn’t. When they revealed the brand, I was overwhelmed with tears of joy and gratitude. It felt like they had captured the heart of who we are and reflected it back to us with clarity and beauty.We are continuing to partner with them on our website and video, and I am so grateful for their ongoing investment in our work.This experience has given me so much hope, encouragement, and excitement for what’s ahead. Working with ICG has truly felt like a gift.I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a team that not only delivers exceptional creative work, but does so with heart, intention, and deep care.

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
