Web Development Review from Robert Booth
Emirates Graphic did an outstanding job designing and developing the website for our real estate company.We began by sharing our vision with them: what kind of experience we wanted visitors to have when they landed on our site, the type of clients we were hoping to attract, and the values we wanted our brand to convey. We also walked them through our story: how our company started, what sets us apart in the market, and what drives our passion for real estate.From there, we had several planning sessions together. We discussed the functionality we needed; like property listings, user-friendly navigation, and booking feature as well as the style and tone we wanted the site to reflect. Emirates Graphic really listened and worked closely with us to bring our ideas to life. They presented us with a range of design concepts, layouts, and visuals that aligned perfectly with our brand identity.In the end, they delivered a digital presence that reflects the essence of who we are: professional, approachable, and deeply committed to helping people find the spaces they love.
Mobile App Development Review from Asim Khaliq
Emirates Graphic helped us design and build a custom app from the ground up. We gave them details about our program like a list of users, the layout, and how everything works and they turned it into an easy to use iOS app with an interactive map and extra features that we did not have before.Emirates Graphic worked fast and were very responsive whenever we had questions. The design looks great and the app works smoothly. Their team paid close attention to details and the quality of their graphics was much better than other companies we looked at.For the price, the value is excellent. We are happy with the results and their professional approach. We would gladly work with them again.
Mobile App Development Review from Stacha Toncev
Emirates Graphic developed a mobile app for our Company. Our goal was to have an app that matched our homemade food style and helped customers interact with us more easily. The team was professional, friendly, and responded quickly throughout the project. Emirates Graphic delivered an app that looks good, works smoothly, and captures the warm and welcoming feeling we wanted. Communication was clear and the deadlines were met. Overall, were very satisfied with both the process and the final result.

Web Design Review from Lisa MacCarley
I hired JQ Design Labs to create a simple, professional but unique logo - they came up with something I absolutely love.I asked them to re-work my website so it was more tailored to the work I want to do from now until I retired. The new website is perfect.I asked them to design and order business cards that were more modern and easy for seniors to read. They nailed it perfectly.
Creative Services Review from Donray Von
The team @ JQ Design Labs are my go to for decks, investor presentations (which we successfully raised capital), and logo design. When we worked with DoorDash on a national pitch - JQ was with us pitching and adjusting the materials in real time!
Web Design Review from Taujma Hall
Working with JQ Design Labs has been nothing short of amazing! Jeremy and his team are incredibly creative, detail-oriented, and always deliver beyond expectations. Over the past 7 years, they've brought my vision to life time and time again from stunning websites and pitch decks to my book design, business cards, and logos. Every project feels like a true collaboration with professionals who get it.Their turnaround time, creativity, and commitment to excellence are unmatched. I'm so grateful for their expertise and can't imagine trusting anyone else with my brand. I highly recommend.

Branding Review from Murilo Rafael de Mello
Working with Mellow was amazing. I needed a brand and didn't know exactly where to start, but Anne has a methodology that, in addition to being didactic, is very effective. And it wasn't just me who loved the final result, several clients have already praised both the naming and the branding.Her work translated exactly what I want my company to communicate - I would recommend her work to anyone who is serious about their business.
Small Business Review from Luanna Hedler
Anne was simply amazing! She really grasps the details and understand the overall needs of the brand. That said, the results were over the top and she made my decision to choose between the presented logos and styles very difficult because they were all so beautiful and on-point. But of course, there is always one that speaks more to you and ends up representing exactly what you want for your brand. On top of that, the market accepted the brand very well and its aesthetic made my online sales increase. Recommend 100%!

We’ve worked with IMP Marketing for our hair care brand for around two years, mostly on ads and email marketing. They really took the time to understand our products and customers, which made their suggestions feel much more useful.They helped us improve our campaigns, organize our email flows better, and make our marketing feel more consistent overall. I also liked that they cared about the visuals, which is important for a beauty brand, but still kept the focus on results.The team was responsive, clear, and easy to talk to whenever we had feedback. Overall, we’re really happy with their support.

I worked with Claire and Amandine at Splash PR on the development and promotion of my event last September, and they did a truly remarkable job. From start to finish, they were professional and fully invested in making it a success. I am delighted to have discovered them and look forward to working together again.If you're looking for a human-sized agency that really takes the time to understand your needs, I highly recommend them!
Anne-Lorraine Bahi (PIAFF)'s Review Sourced from Google
We've had the pleasure of working with Claire at Splash PR for over 10 years now, and the partnership is still going strong. Claire knows her craft inside and out. On every project, she has a perfect vision of what we want to achieve, and she delivers flawlessly every time.She is committed, dedicated, always available, and deeply professional. She's constantly doing whatever it takes to help our business succeed, and what truly sets her apart is that she consistently goes above and beyond what is expected, driven by a genuine pursuit of perfection.We couldn't recommend Claire and Splash PR more highly.
Isabelle Krief's Review Sourced from Google
Everything looked great on paper but Claire did very little for my business and only fulfilled about 30% of the plan set up in our contract. Everytime I asked her if she had done the task we had set up, there was either a delay or she didn't do it at all and found excuses. I was very disappointed by her lack of professionalisme eventhough she charged me 3k/month. She did a lot of damage for my business and I would not recommend her.
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.
Rated 4.8 on Google and 4.7 on Trustpilot, DesignRush Agency Directory is a reliable resource for finding creative agencies.

Creative agencies offer services that help define how brands are perceived in the market. Core creative services include:
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:
