Michael Margolis Chief Medical Officer at Michigan Healthcare Professionals
5.0★
Digital Marketing Review from Michael Margolis
We engaged Division of Labor as our boutique advertising partner for Michigan Healthcare Professionals, and we were absolutely blown away by the results. Not only did the campaigns resonate deeply they elevated our branding and connected exceptionally well with our target audience.The work they delivered didn't just look great it performed. The campaign not only helped improve patient outcomes but also effectively promoted the benefits of utilizing non-facility-based imaging and laboratory testing. The messaging was clear, compelling, and perfectly aligned with our strategic goals.What impressed us most was how far beyond expectations Division of Labor went. Their creativity, responsiveness, and can-do attitude made working with them an absolute pleasure. No matter the challenge, their mindset is essentially: If theres a question, the answer is yes just tell us what the question is.We couldn't be more satisfied with the partnership and results, and we highly recommend Division of Labor to any organization seeking thoughtful, impactful, and results-driven marketing.

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!

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.

Small Business Review from Wes Arola
Motif took an unconventional approach to supporting my official launch and establishing an identity for my landscape architecture practice. The focus was setting myself apart from the rest, and signaling to potential customers and the general public what I produce, my level of service, and for WHO. Although the tangibles Motif created were awesome and fueled my launch, I value the advice, conversation and insight they offered from day one to encourage me to really get to know my business.

Motif Brands took all the thoughts and vision I have for the next chapter of my life and made sense of it all. Imagine a bunch of sticky notes and Reilly pieced them all together! He saw a vision beyond my own and provided additional thoughts and direction to make the path ahead possible. The business strategy services Motif Brands provides are top notch. He created my website 10+ years ago for my last chapter, I recommend both services. Plus Reilly's a cool guy!

Andrew Gonzales's Review Sourced from Google
Hired Nikalabs a few years back because my website was a mess and I hated it. It was confusing, cluttered, and just straight up ugly!Originally I found these guys on yelp and I wanted to give them some love on Google My Business too!I own a carpet cleaning business in Santa Clara and I needed to find a company I could trust and feel comfortable with to build a great website. I called and talked to Ali over the phone I know that this was the right company and boy I'm glad I chose Nika Labs. I told Ali over the phone these exact words, "I want to build a clean, simple, yet elegant website" I wanted something that will be easy on the eyes and intuitive for my customers. I also expressed that there were two important tools that I absolutely needed 1) an online calendar 2) an online estimator tool. Ali, with confidence said, "We can do it no problem and we will optimize the site for both desktop and mobile web browsing". Ali's confidence assured me Nika Labs was the company to hire! He also said that once they are done I would be able to edit most of the text myself because they use Wordpress to build the site. I was sold and hired them to build the site.Ali and Nika Labs not only delivered they over delivered. They built a website I absolutely love! They listened to my every concern. My website is clean, simple, and yet elegant just the way I imagined it to be. I 100% love my site and can't stop looking at it. We hit some bumps in the road but Ali and Nika labs worked through them all. I'm so happy I went with Nika Labs and I highly recommend hiring this company to do your website!Andrew / OwnerGenesis Carpet Cleaning Services

Branding Review from Shira S
We partnered with Agency Squid to refine and elevate our brand identity for a SaaS platform in the B2B space. Operating in a competitive landscape, we needed strong positioning, messaging clarity, and a compelling visual presence to stand out.From the very beginning, the Agency Squid team demonstrated a deep understanding of our market, challenges, and goals. They asked the right questions, offered valuable strategic insights, and walked us through a structured branding process that was both collaborative and efficient.The outcome was a refreshed brand strategy that clearly communicates our core value, differentiators, and relevance to our target audience. We received high-impact messaging frameworks and creative assets that are now integrated into our website, sales materials, and marketing campaigns.What we appreciated most was their thoughtful, ego-free approach and consistent responsiveness. Every milestone was met on time, and they were always open to feedback, ensuring we were aligned throughout the project.This branding work has already improved our sales conversations, marketing performance, and overall brand perception. It was a seamless and professional experience, and were excited to continue working with Agency Squid in the future.

Agency Squid is truly unlike any other ad agency out there. There is no ego involved and they listen to what their clients needs are while still challenging them to think about things differently. The smaller but mighty team is well rounded and each bring a different perspective to the table. I would recommend them for any design/marketing, product promotion or special project. Doesn’t hurt that their workplace is so cool too!

Bob LiVolsi's Review Sourced from Google
At Vaccine Systems, we were under time pressure to get our website up as entered an incubator and a grant process for our Covid-19 related medical technology. In less than 3 weeks, Dos Mundos Creative stepped up and accomplished that. In our first meetings, they listened to and understood our needs. Not only did they provide a great-looking website, but they also sharpened our messaging and provided a logo for which we have received many compliments. All this accomplished in a matter of weeks! in the 8 months since then, we have had two minor issues of our own making pop up with the website. In both cases, Dos Mundos responded quickly and fixed the issue. We recommend Dos Mundos to anyone looking for a responsive and capable team to provide an up-to-date website with excellent graphics that appeals to the eye and tells your story well.

Cassie Shankman's Review Sourced from Google
I hired DMC right before Covid, and everything we had talked about in regards to design and branding I was ready to throw out the window as my whole world had shifted. I am a musician and I do live events and with Covid, I had NO idea what to do. Kana and her team met with me regularly throughout 2020 helping not just talk about my website (which I hired them to do), but go above and beyond and help me with everything – pivoting, new ideas, how to build on what I have, mental health... I MEAN EVERYTHING).They truly gave me so much life through a very dismal time. I felt inspired and excited for what could come next, even if it might have to wait for 2021. They worked with my budget and created something magical – even better than what I could imagine. I have had some hiccups on my side, and they've been there all along responding very quickly! I truly don't know what I would have done without them. They take my crazy ideas and flow and turn it into something that is very easy to understand.Dos Mundos Creative is more than just a branding, website design/building agency... they are the real deal and the full package and make you feel just as important as a client with a huge budget. I am so grateful I found them and grateful to continue to work with them. They are my GO TO!!! And it's female-founded, so that's also a plus in my book!

Dos Mundos did an incredible job of taking our brand and media assets and transform them into something that we were finally proud of and that got our message across. They are fast, effective, and intuitive as a team. They were also able to take our guidance and think outside of the box coming up with ways of presenting our ideas that were more succinct and beautiful. Thanks Kana, Parker, and Dos Mundos!

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:

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

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
