Bobby G and the Propr team are a passionate creative tour de force that you want on your team to grow your company! From concept to implementation, their methods are smart, measurable and most importantly impactful when it comes to the intended audience. This makes work for marketing, sales and other business silos that much easier!
Anh Nguyen's Review Sourced from Google
I had a great honor to meet and talk to Bob, the founder of Propr Design, through an entrepreneurship course at UMD last semester. His speech was amazing and inspiring. As a young designer, I learned so much and got to know more about the company. Bob showed a lot care in his work and dedication in clients' projects. I used to think all design and marketing firms are the same, Propr Design definitely changed my mind! I have been stalking the company's website to learn more about their projects. Can't wait for their new campaigns!

Small Business Review from Jacob M. Brett
We recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Karl at Kural Design for the re-branding of our Bread and Batter Bakery, and we couldn't be more impressed with the outcome. Karl's expertise and professionalism truly shone throughout the entire process, from the initial discussions to the final delivery.First and foremost, Karl's communication skills are impeccable. He listened attentively to our vision for the re-branding and translated it into a comprehensive plan that exceeded our expectations. His ability to articulate complex concepts in a clear and concise manner ensured that we were always on the same page, leading to a smooth and efficient collaboration.One of the standout aspects of working with Karl was his availability. Despite his busy schedule, he always made time to address any questions or concerns we had promptly. His responsiveness gave us peace of mind knowing that our project was in capable hands and allowed us to move forward with confidence.Karl's honesty and transparency were also greatly appreciated throughout the process. He provided valuable insights and feedback, guiding us in making informed decisions that ultimately contributed to the success of the re-branding. His integrity and commitment to delivering high-quality work were evident every step of the way.When it comes to professionalism, Karl sets the bar high. He approached the project with a level of dedication and attention to detail that is truly commendable. From the sleek and modern web design to the cohesive branding elements, every aspect of the re-branding was executed with precision and finesse.His exceptional communication skills, availability, honesty, and professionalism will make him a valuable partner for any business looking to elevate their brand identity. Working with Karl and his team was not only a pleasure but also a truly rewarding experience that transformed our bakery for the better!
Dan S.'s Review Sourced from Google
I was seeking a web developer, logo designer, and overall brand expert for a business I was putting together. A friend referred me to Kural Design after I had lamented to him that I was having trouble finding a firm that was easy to deal with, and could serve as a one-stop-shop for all of my start-up business needs. I'm compelled to write this review because my experience with Kural Design was awesome. They took the time to meet with me on several occasions and were truly engaged in learning my vision, which they ultimately translated to a very sophisticated and user friendly website. On top of that, they produced my business logo and provided all collateral material so I could order stationary and marketing material with just a few clicks of a button. Everything looks very professional and I attribute the business I have acquired over the past few months to this fact. After I launched, realizing how little time I had, I ended up contracting KD to assist me in maintaining my website for a nominal monthly fee. No brainer! I would absolutely recommend Kural Design for anyone who needs print or digital marketing, logo design, or just help with brand alignment. Thanks again KD!

Meg Terrill's Review Sourced from Google
At Chen Foods we’re all about Food with Heart – we love working with passionate people and the team at Edison really know how to get to the heart of complex brands. We found our Mr Chen's masterbrand project in 2022 super collaborative, and landed in a really great place with a more cohesive visual look and feel across all our categories and ranges, with rich story-telling that leverages our point of differentiation - which is family recipes and techniques crafted over a lifetime obsession with Asian flavours. I would whole-heartedly recommend the team at Edison for any brand needing to navigate a complex brand portfolio, and find a way to establish a memorable and emotional connection with consumers.

Next Steps Australia would like to thank the Edison Agency for designing our organisation’s new branding and visual identity which was made possible by Edison’s pro bono “Design for Good” program.Caitlin Preyser and Miles Castan were outstanding in formulating the concept, graphics and visual language of the project and collaborated with us on every phase of the development process through to the finished product.Their professionalism, sensitivity, care and attention to the smallest detail was truly inspiring.We are most grateful to the Edison Agency for their generous support and the enormous contribution they have made to Next Steps Australia’s new digital and print assets and strategy which will enhance our effectiveness in supporting more women and children in the aftermath of domestic violence.

Can't speak highly enough about the team at Edison. Our organisation, Social Health Australia, has been working with them for more than four years. They've more than delivered on their work for us, which has included everything from developing a logo/integrated graphic identity and updating our website to creating collateral pieces for various events/projects. Everyone we've worked with -- especially Liz -- has been professional, conscientious, and attuned to our mission.

Over the last three years, I have collaborated on over eleven projects with Watson Creative team. They are a pleasure to deal with and consistently produce outcomes that go above and above! For your upcoming project, I heartily recommend them.
Holt Group Inc.'s Review Sourced from Google
Watson has been a key strategic partner for us on the creative and brand side since the beginning. We've worked with various members across the team and every member of their staff brings excellence and authentic passion to what they do. They have consistently delivered an end product that excites our customers, adding special creative touches along the way so that the results really sing. The way they're able to translate our vision and mission into deliverables across each project has been a weight off our shoulders. Not every creative agency is able to understand the nuances of our industry and we've been so impressed with the time team Watson has taken to really get to know our industry in homebuilding. We've worked with Watson on deliverables such as high level creative direction, but also getting into the nitty gritty of developing content around our warranty program. This was a huge task and they matched us with exactly the right team members to bring it to life who truly cared about getting it right. They're great friends as much as they are our business partners. We highly recommend partnering with Watson Creative.
S Nash's Review Sourced from Google
When we engaged Watson to help us rebrand, we knew it was going to be a challenging process. We had a long-standing reputation as a respected law firm in Portland, but we wanted our brand to reflect our unique culture and the innovative approach we bring to our clients. Watson's team was thorough and thoughtful throughout the entire process, from primary research interviews with our team to the final custom, hand-drawn identity system. The end result was a brand that not only represents who we are as a firm but also sets us apart from our competitors. We continue to receive compliments on our branding years later, and we credit Watson for helping us achieve that success.

Branding Review from John Baker
Cody and the Caava Design team absolutely blew my original expectations away! RadPad is a small start up business in a crowded space with ambitious long term goals, which is how I chose to approach this branding exercise. Directly, I had not been thru this type of process before and Cody + team made the entire process from initial contact to ideation to creation to delivery fun and engaging and worth the investment! I now have all the guardrails and direction needed to properly and effectively showcase my business to my target customer and beyond. One of the best groups of people and experiences I have ever had across the board! I WILL 100% be going back to Caava for work in the future. Thank you thank you!
Brand Strategy Review from Brent Wadas
Our experience with Caava Design was incredible! They worked tirelessly to provide brand strategy and voice options that would speak to the many different markets we operate in. Not only did we come away with an excellent, solid brand strategy, but we also garnered a ton of new fans in the process. They were deliberate in the best way possible, taking time to work with us on all aspects of a complex business plan. While they were fast in delivery of products, I never felt as though they rushed though any of it, and the results speak for themselves. I am grateful to the team for their efforts and recommend them to any and all looking for creativity in their marketing!

Graphic Design Review from Thomas Capra
I could not have asked for a better logo design. Exceptional work and an exceptional experience. They took the time to really listen to what I wanted to achieve with my brand and logo and offered several initial options that looked fantastic and were nicely customized. After choosing my favorite, it was a super collaborative process to refine it until it was just right. Fast and open communication throughout the entire process, and they really know how to make you feel like a valued client.

I've hired several firms over the past 18 years to create brochures and other marketing items and I have to say Left Hand Design is hands down the BEST graphics design firm I've worked with. This team of 2 brothers created a beautiful 40 page product catalog that my clients are all raving about. Not only is it high quality but their rates were fair and they are an absolute pleasure to work with. I will definitely use them on future marketing projects. Thanks Paul and Beau!

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!

Leo Matthews's Review Sourced from Google
Roger is honestly superb. Polite, professional, patient and engaged. A rare find. To say he went the extra mile, before we even did business, is an understatement. Both he and Bond gave us their free time - before even asking us to commit to a purchase - so they could get to know more about us, and our project. We got inciteful advice without even having to pay for the first meeting.When you are considering be working with a company regularly, it's important you enjoy working with them/speaking with them. It felt more like speaking to a friend with Roger, than speaking about work when we met him. Which makes it not feel like work at all at times!Roger and his team do their best work, when you are as engaged in helping to craft something special as they are. We highly rate this team for their commitment to going the extra mile.My advice to people in this space, is even if you are just shopping around in this category, schedule a meeting with Roger & Co, and see for yourself why we were so impressed!

Gary and the team at Forge Creative were instrumental in delivering an amazing result for our Look Book project. Gary's relentless drive, experience and expertise combined with an unbending will to see the project through to the end was a key factor in the project's success. What we've ended up with certainly surpassed our expectations and the comments that we've received from the end users of this document have also been incredibly positive. A big thanks to Gary and the Forge team; I would certainly not hesitate to recommend them.

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)

Exceptional communication
“Colormatics maintained excellent lines of communication including via email, text, cell and the video editing platform that they utilized. I always felt "in the loop" with them.”Read full review >
Video Production Review from Bryce McPartland
We were referred to colormatics by our ad people at krem. We compared pricing and products of colormatics against a number of industry-specific marketing providers. Colormatics had the strongest portfolio and, surprisingly, offered exceptional pricing.Colormatics laid out a full shoot schedule which was pre-approved. They arrived on scene early one morning and traveled across central Washington to four separate locations to make an exceptionally tight yet comprehensive video about our firm. We began around 8 am and wrapped about 430 pm.Colormatics maintained excellent lines of communication including via email, text, cell and the video editing platform that they utilized. I always felt "in the loop" with them.
Video Production Review from Allison Grunthaner Gibicsar
Colormatics has been an outstanding partner in creating a huge amount of assets needed for our biggest product launch of 2023. This includes but is not limited to: social media videos, product videos, mattress cutaway visualizations, YouTube bumpers, edited b-roll, and more. The whole team is always willing to hop on the phone or quickly answer an email, with fast asset delivery and willingness to bring forth suggestions/solves outside of their scope.
Video Production Review from Ryan Throckmorton
Our team developed the idea of showcasing individuals who are making a positive impact online within their own communities. When we shared the concept with Colormatics, they immediately explored creative ways to bring it to life visually. They transformed our vision into a compelling visual narrative.The final piece blended live-action footage with motion graphics. We conducted interviews and also wanted to highlight the social media activity of these community members. Their profiles were used as a storytelling device, appearing almost like flashbacks, but animated in a way that made the content feel like it was unfolding in real time.We’re now experimenting with turning interview voiceovers into animated illustrations. We believe these could resonate even more on social platforms. The plan was to compare performance between the two video styles, and we’re looking forward to testing them soon.

I’ve been working with TCE for over 1 year now and am blown away by their professionalism, their constant drive to bring new ideas to the table, and their fiercely analytical nature they apply to their decision making processes.

Branding Review from Frank Loconsole
Awesome company! great people, great creative innovations!...
Creative companies can help your business enhance brand recognition and trust by producing scalable assets for various media and platforms while maintaining a consistent brand identity.
Notably, they can strengthen audience relationships by combining strategy, design, and messaging to produce authentic, memorable, and persuasive content.
In return, this can translate into measurable value for your business.
According to The Multiplier Effect, campaigns with stronger creative quality markers tended to generate higher revenue ROI and profit returns than lower-quality work.
It also argues that integrating brand-building with performance marketing can lift ROI from 25% to 100%, with a median uplift of 90%.
The McKinsey study on the Business Value of Design reached a similar conclusion.
The study reports that businesses with high design index scores grew revenues and shareholder returns at nearly twice the rate of their industry peers over five years.
When choosing the best creative agency for your business, consider the following:
A creative brief should give your firm enough context to understand your business, audience, goals, and project requirements. The more specific the brief, the easier it is for stakeholders to align and for the agency to deliver work that meets your expectations. Here is what you should include:
| Item | What it is | Examples |
| Business background | A short overview of your company, product, service, and market context. Include your value proposition, tone, and style guide. |
|
| Project objective | The problem you want to solve or the result you want to achieve |
|
| Goals and key performance indicators (KPIs) | The specific outcomes you want to measure |
|
| Target audiences | The audience you want to reach, including relevant demographics, behaviors, and preferences |
|
| Deliverables | The exact assets you need, including size, format, and quantity |
|
| Timeline | The important milestones and final deadline |
|
| Budget | The total amount allocated for the project |
|
| Distribution channels | Where the assets will be published or used |
|
| Mandatory requirements | Any required legal, technical, or branding elements |
|
Ask these questions before hiring a creative company to ensure it can execute the campaigns you need:
Creative effectiveness is measured by how well an asset achieves its intended goal, from capturing attention to generating conversions and improving brand recall. The right metrics depend on the format, channel, and campaign objective.
For example, a static social post may be measured by reach, shares, saves, and clicks, while a short-form video may also be evaluated using hook rate, hold rate, watch time, and completion rate.
Here are common performance metrics to track:
A Nielsen and NCS analysis of nearly 500 CPG campaigns found that creative accounted for 47% of sales contribution by advertising element, suggesting that creative quality is often one of the biggest drivers of overall campaign performance.

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.
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.
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:
Approximate costs per creative service type:
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:
