Studio Dirt Reviews & Testimonials

Brand development at North House x Norcu
5.0★
Branding Review from Jake Tesoriero
We've worked with the Dirtverse team on the branding for both North House and, more recently, Norcu. We gave them pretty much free rein creatively and were blown away by what they came back with every step of the way. They really understood what we were trying to achieve, even when we couldn't necessarily put it into words ourselves. They're creative, easy to work with and genuinely great at what they do. We couldn't be happier with both brands and would highly recommend the Dirtverse team!

Web Design Review from Marco Noé
We had the absolute pleasure of working with the talented team at Dirt on the branding and website for WldCntry. From our first call their creativity, strategic thinking, and well rounded skillset all spoke to what we believe is high quality work. The team brought WldCntry to life with a visual identity that not only stands out but perfectly captures what we set out to build. A video production company that breaks a few rules while still believing in the fundamentals needed for award winning films. Their ability to translate a feeling and vision into a cohesive impactful brand was an unforgettable experience!

Liam Martin
Founder at Visune
5.0★
Digital Services Review from Liam Martin
We came to VMV with a difficult project: transitioning from agency to e-com, without even having a name for the new entity. Over an intensive four-month project, VMV provided an exceptional, professional service, delivering a comprehensive package of design, guidelines and templates for us to launch.
Whilst the core of the project revolved around traditional brand identity, VMV delved into social media, web design, copy and more. They were flexible around our restrictions and daring where we had room. The result was a cost-effective solution that delivered on all fronts. 8 months on, we still have enough depth and variety in the templates to energize new content, and the team is extremely comfortable implementing VMVs direction on new styles too.
I have and will continue to recommend them for anything 2D.

Video Production Review from Benjamin Chan
I have had the pleasure of working with VMV Studio for several years now, and I can confidently say that they are an exceptional team that consistently delivers outstanding results. From the moment we engaged with them, their professionalism and dedication to their craft were evident.
One of the most impressive aspects of VMV Studio is the quality of their work. Every project they undertake is executed with precision and attention to detail, resulting in high-quality deliverables that exceed expectations. Whether it's graphic design, video production, or web development, VMV Studio consistently delivers top-notch results that reflect their commitment to excellence.
What sets VMV Studio apart from other agencies is their willingness to listen to their clients' needs and preferences. They take the time to understand our vision and goals, and they tailor their approach accordingly. This level of personalized service ensures that the final product not only meets but exceeds our expectations. Their ability to translate our ideas into tangible assets is truly remarkable and has been instrumental in helping us achieve our objectives.
Another aspect of VMV Studio that deserves praise is their efficiency and timeliness. Despite the complexity of some of our projects, they always manage to deliver on time without compromising on quality. Their streamlined workflow and effective project management ensure that deadlines are met consistently, which is invaluable to our business.
Overall, I cannot recommend VMV Studio highly enough. Their professionalism, commitment to quality, and exceptional customer service make them a pleasure to work with. If you're looking for a creative partner who will go above and beyond to bring your vision to life, look no further than VMV Studio. They have certainly earned my trust and loyalty, and I look forward to continuing our partnership for years to come.

Division of Labor handled our social media and video creation along with all our event signage and out of home.

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.

Allyson Burroughs
Vice President, Brand, Digital, and Communications at Ricoh North America
5.0★
Integrated Marketing Review from Allyson Burroughs
I had the pleasure of working with Modo Modo Agency in 2022, when I was responsible for the complete renovation of Ricoh North America's brand narrative and visual design system, across all channels and all audiences. There were three immediately necessary elements - 1) internal communications materials about the overhaul of the brand narrative in order to build trust and enthusiasm internally for the new strategic direction of the company, 2) recruitment marketing assets to attract new talent to the organization very rapidly, and 3) go-to-market assets for multiple vertical industries where Ricoh was strategically focused on specific levels of growth.
Modo Modo Agency helped me lead the charge by generating extremely valuable internal communications materials, visual design system assets, manager and leadership guides and more to help with evangelizing internally the evolved brand narrative and the new strategic plan set forth by the CEO. They also created a significant number recruitment marketing assets for a number of digital channels to help build excitement around the brand, attract talent, and encourage employment applications for the significant number of open positions the company needed to fill. Lastly, we worked closely on GTM initiatives across paid and owned channels for the specific vertical industries Ricoh had identified in their strategic growth plan.
The team is strategic, focused on meeting business objectives, and delivering on the critical KPIs of each program. Modo Modo Agency stepped in quickly, delivered smart, well-executed, and effective assets for all the audiences and channels we needed to address. I would enthusiastically recommend them and would most definitely hire them again.

David Epps's Review Sourced from Google
This is our first year at Peach Bowl, Inc. working with Modo Modo. In fact, we're literally months into our business relationship.
I'll be able to provide a more thorough review later, but we have found Modo Modo to be an intensely engaged agency. They have very talented people in the design chairs and the account management team. They've been extremely responsive in terms of learning how we like to work, and reacting accordingly.
We made the decision to leave one agency and sign on with Modo Modo, and the best thing I can say at this point is that we are not disappointed in our decision. We've seen and are expecting top-shelf work from them.

6 Frequently Asked Questions About Creative Companies
What services do creative agencies offer?
Creative agencies offer services that help define how brands are perceived in the market. Core creative services include:
Market research and audience insights: Understanding target audiences, competitors, and market positioning to guide creative decisions.
Brand strategy and identity: Defining brand positioning, messaging, tone of voice, and visual identity, including logos, color palettes, and typography.
Advertising and campaign creative: Developing concepts and assets for paid media, social campaigns, email marketing, digital ads, and other promotional channels.
Content and copywriting: Writing brand messaging, campaign copy, website copy, taglines, and editorial content that support marketing goals.
Video and motion content: Producing scripts, storyboards, photography, video, animation, and editing for brand storytelling and campaigns.
Web design and digital experiences: Designing websites, landing pages, and user experiences, with some agencies also offering web development support.
Other creative services include photography, print production, experiential design, app design, and ongoing creative retainers. The exact scope depends on whether the creative firm specializes in branding, content, digital marketing, or full-service creative support.
What is the difference between a creative company and a marketing agency?
A creative company centers on how a brand looks, sounds, and feels through brand identity, messaging, design, storytelling, and creative production.
On the other hand, a marketing agency focuses on how a brand reaches its audience through campaigns, channels, and performance optimization. Here is a side-by-side comparison for clarity:
Creative Companies
Marketing Agencies
Focus
Building brand identity, consistency, and audience connection
Driving awareness, traffic, leads, conversions, and revenue
Services
Brand strategy, visual identity, graphic design, video production, website design, copy and creative development
SEO, paid media, email marketing, social media management, influencer marketing, public relations, content marketing, analytics
Output
Logos, brand systems, creative concepts, websites, videos, and campaign assets
Media plans, campaign execution, lead generation, reporting, and channel performance insights
While they are distinct disciplines, they often overlap. Many creative companies offer marketing support, and many marketing agencies include creative services as part of their packages.
How much do creative firms charge for their services?
Creative firms charge between $100-$200 per hour or $800-$8,000 per project. The final cost will depend on service type and scope, design complexity, turnaround time, and firm location.
Estimated price range by engagement model:
Hourly rate: $100-$200 per hour
Pricing tier: $2,500-$7,500 per month for small projects like social media posts and email marketing templates. However, larger, more complex projects can cost $25,000-$100,000 per month, such as global, multi-channel campaigns.
Project-based pricing: $800-$8,000 per project
Commission-based pricing: 10%-30% of the profit or sales
Approximate costs per creative service type:
Logo design: $1,000-$2,5000 per project
Comprehensive branding: $16,000-$60,000+ per project
Web design: $5,000-$200,000+ per project
Marketing collateral: $500-$2,500+ per project
How long do creative projects typically take?
Creative projects can take anywhere between 1 week and over 4 months. The actual timeline depends on the service type, production complexity, and revision cycle. Here is what to expect:
Logo design: 2-5 weeks
Comprehensive branding: 1-3 months
Graphic design: ~1 week for custom illustrations and infographics
Blog posts: 1-2 weeks, depending on word count and research complexity
Social media: 2-3 days, depending on the number of platforms, level of customization, and asset volume
Email campaigns: 1-2 weeks, depending on design complexity and number of variations
Video content: 2-8 weeks, depending on video length, production quality, talent availability, and post-production requirements
Integrated campaigns: 4-8 weeks
When should you hire a creative agency, and when should you keep it in-house?
The answer depends on your goals, budget, timeline, and internal capabilities.
Consider hiring a creative agency if:
You need to launch or refresh a brand, product, or campaign quickly, but lack internal expertise or bandwidth.
Creative work is pulling your team away from core business priorities.
You need specialized skills, such as branding, video production, campaign concepting, or web design.
You are planning a large, multi-channel, or multi-market campaign that your internal team cannot support alone.
You want an outside perspective or fresh creative direction.
Keep creative projects in-house if:
The work is routine, low in complexity, or recurring, such as templated social posts, simple presentations, or basic collateral updates.
You already have a trusted internal team with the right design, content, or marketing capabilities.
The work requires close day-to-day collaboration and fast turnaround across departments.
Your product, audience, or market is highly specialized, and success depends on deep internal knowledge.
