Major Tom Reviews & Testimonials

Community Manager at Shift

Web Design Review from Chris Palliser
I work with Shift (Solar & Energy Storage Installer) and I had a great experience working with Major Tom on our brand refresh and new website. Their team is knowledgable, thoughtful, supportive, and I feel they personally and genuinely want us to succeed as a business. Shout out to Nathalie! They made me feel like a priority during any request, and delivered a polished functional design and UX that feels both national and locally grounded, exactly what we asked for. Communication was strong throughout, and they were quick to find solutions when challenges came up, as they inevitably do. Thank you, Major Tom! Highly Recommend!

Digital Advertising Review from Tim Thatcher
I've worked with Major Tom for just over 10 years in varying capacities across their Paid Media and Social Media teams. I've always enjoyed very positive working relationships, and they have offered great value and strategic guidance to media campaigns. They always add valuable insights into the data and make recommendations to improve overall strategy. It's always felt like a strong strategic partnership and they seem to have a positive working culture. Would highly recommend them as a media partner.

WordPress Website Design Review from Jamie McCalman
Major Tom is a strong choice for enterprise organizations that need both strategic thinking and technical reliability. They understand the demands of a national insurance brokerage and bring the right expertise to every phase of a project.
Their workflow is structured and efficient, with seamless handoffs between design, development, and launch. Anna provides excellent account leadership. She is responsive, organized, and solutions oriented. From maintaining nearly perfect uptime to rapidly addressing security and technical issues, their team is dependable. The new website components they designed have enhanced how we communicate complex insurance information to our clients.

VR/AR Review from Sam Rogers
The fine folks at Groove Jones really delivered with this project!
See for yourself at https://4-h.org/clover/activities/rockets-to-the-moon/
Our organization had worked with them before, but this was my first time...and my first time working with an AR project at all. Giving all the stars in all the categories isn't something I do much of, but in every way Groove Jones earned it.
From the beginning, they got the intention and guided us through the choices needed to keep us within our fixed budget and immovable timeline. The team consistently delivered what we needed to get approvals from our internal and external stakeholders, and worked with us when we faced unexpected delays and technical surprises.
We're just launched and already looking for the next opportunities to work with Groove Jones again! Totally professional, and totally fun :) They really made our team and our brand look good.

VR/AR Review from Amy Chao, CMP
The client had an exceptionally positive experience with Groove Jones. The agency delved into new technology boosting user experience, ensuring it aligned with the existing environment and was multi-channel compatible. Groove Jones in less than 90 days unveiled an interactive platform that was not only visually captivating but also had a striking impact. Throughout the journey, it remained communicative, promptly addressing modifications and infusing their unique insights. (verified via email)

VR/AR Review from Alan Fletcher
The client collaborated with Groove Jones on a challenging initiative, marked by a lofty yet vague objective and a pressing deadline. Discovered through online research and having no prior association, the collaboration swiftly took off. In merely three months, Groove Jones conceptualized and constructed a 20x16x10 Holodeck for the client's participation in the MWC event in Barcelona. (Verified via email)

My nonprofit, Set Free Alliance, has worked with The Brand Leader for years. They are truly more than an agency; they are an extension of our staff and our ministry. They take the time to listen to our goals, respect our budget constraints, and brainstorm some fantastic options. The work they produce is second to none, and the people behind that work are even better.

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
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

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
