Carrie and her team are professionals. From the beginning to the end of a project they are two steps ahead, making sure the design intent is executed, and the delivery and installation of the products are on target. It’s great working with them. I recommend Design Alternatives.

am on the board of a 1274 home development that engaged Design Alternatives to renovate our relatively large clubhouse. Each phase of the project from inspiration through completion was done tastefully, with class and high quality workmanship. The physical renovation as well as all furnishings strove for perfection and it was delivered it as such. DA is highly professional and it was a pleasure to work with their team of designers and all renovation workers- and the end result is fabulous. Our homeowners love it, are proud of it, and frequent it more than before because of it being extremely welcoming as well as comfortable. Thank you to the entire Design Alternatives Team for delivering an absolutely beautiful clubhouse!

Working with Carrie and the team at Design Alternatives over the past 10+ years has been an absolute pleasure. At AC Construction Services, we’ve collaborated with them on projects totaling millions of dollars, and I can confidently say they are the best design team in the business.
Their professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to bring creative visions to life are unmatched. Beyond their expertise, Carrie and her team are courteous, reliable, and simply great people to work with. Whether it’s a high-stakes multimillion-dollar project or a smaller-scale job, they consistently deliver exceptional results.
If you’re looking for a design partner who values excellence and collaboration, look no further than Design Alternatives. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

We had such a great experience with this B West Builders .
We remodeled our kitchen and part of our living room, and the difference is incredible.
What I appreciated most was how easy they made the whole process.
They explained everything clearly, helped us make decisions when we were unsure, and always kept us updated.
The crew was friendly and respectful, and the quality of the work really shows.
Our house finally feels like the home we always wanted.

As a client of Animus Digital, we could not have found a better company for our business and marketing needs.

Jim Moss's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Jon Grogan and the team at Animus Digital has been a game changer for my business.
They didn’t just build a website they helped me clarify how I show up, how I communicate value, and how I engage the right clients. From day one, Jon has approached every conversation with insight, intentionality, and a deep understanding of both business and people.
Beyond the website, they’ve consulted with me on multiple marketing initiatives and recently built out a leadership assessment that has become a key tool in how I connect and serve new clients. It’s not just functional, it’s strategic, thoughtful, and aligned with the direction I’m taking my business.
What sets Animus apart is their ability to combine creativity with clarity. They don’t just make things look good, they make them work.
If you’re serious about growing your business and want a team that can think with you, not just for you, I highly recommend Jon and Animus Digital.

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:

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
