Branding Review from Rania Kthiri
Working with P&W is a real blessing. They are competent people, ultra creative and very reactive. We have never been disappointed working with them, whether for the design of our website, the creation of a new range of products, B to B communication or even the creation/design of corporate reports. They are efficient, they respect the deadlines (which is a rare commodity these days) and above all comply with our slightest wishes (Knowing that our preferences can change along the way, evolve over the course of projects, etc.). I highly recommend!
Julia Sant's Review Sourced from Google
We have being working with P&W for a number of years. Having worked with deign agencies before in the number of countries, I found their work to be outstanding, The design solutions for both packaging, POS and advertisement that they offer are second to none. I would happily recommend P&W to any company - large or small and they would not disappoint. Julia Sant, Export - Healthy Food Brands LTD

Package Design Review from Raquell (Gama e) Silva
We worked with Reflective Media Inc. on a label compliance and branding redesign project to align our packaging with Canadian regulations. Fernanda was knowledgeable and clearly experienced, showing a strong understanding of compliance requirements. They delivered items on time, were responsive to our needs, and managed the project in an organized, professional way.
Package Design Review from Danika Charity
We are a brand-new start-up preparing to bring our very first food and beverage product to the US market. From the moment I connected with Fernanda on a CPG-focused Slack group she has been a wealth of knowledge and an incredible resource. We were looking for guidance around claims and packaging design and she conducted a Graphic Compliance Audit for us. She is extremely knowledgeable and her notes and suggestions were very helpful. We look forward to working with her again in the future.

Roxana Zegan's Review Sourced from Google
One of my favorite creative studios to work with ! full stop. Their videos are consistently smart, emotional, and beautifully made, with that rare mix of depth and style. They bring the same level of artistry to storytelling as they do to sound and music. And as a bonus, they’re genuinely fun people to collaborate with : thoughtful, curious, and endlessly creative.
Richard Shelton's Review Sourced from Google
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Riot.NYC…. Simply put, a standout creative agency! Their work pushes boundaries in the best way — a perfect mix of innovation, strategy, and storytelling. The team delivers exceptional production quality across every project, whether it’s a marketing campaign, a music video or branded content. They truly understand how to bring ideas to life with originality and purpose. Beyond their talent, the Riot team is collaborative, professional, and a joy to work with. If you’re looking for a creative agency in New York that excels at both concept and production — Riot.NYC is the one.
Johan Huapaya's Review Sourced from Google
I had such a great experience working with RIOT. From the very first call, they really listened to what I was trying to do and came back with ideas that felt spot on. The whole process was super smooth. They were organized, creative, and easy to communicate with. What I really appreciated was how collaborative they were. They were right there every step of the way. The end result came out even better than I imagined, and I’ve gotten so many compliments on the work. I’d absolutely work with them again and recommend them to anyone who wants a team that cares as much about the project as you do

eCommerce Review from Pooja Bansal
When I managed the account, my December ROAS was 0.93. From Jan 1-Feb 5, after they took over, ROAS dropped to 0.50. During that time, they charged $2,000 in fees and spent $3,869.89 of my ad budget, with no meaningful execution or improvement.After I took back control on Feb 6, ROAS increased to 1.32. Their creatives and strategy did not deliver value. I requested a full refund of the $2,000 management fee for Jan 1-Feb 5, but they denied it. Overall, this engagement cost me about $6,000 with poor results.

I had the good fortune to find Chris on LinkedIn. He did amazing work for one of my clients. So much content to use on FB and Instagram. Later I had an urgent job for another client Harb Gill who won the seat for Windsor West. He needed an introductory video to introduce himself to his voters. Chris made a beautiful video and luckily he was able to get it done and edited within 24 hours. Chris went over and above on location. He made recommendations for the content of the video and included great images . I would highly recommend Chris for anyone who wants to take their business to a new level. You will not be disappointed.

Branding Review from Jazmin Andrea Giraldo
This review is provided to reflect a factual experience based on documented communications and delivered materials throughout the project.The engagement was contractually expected to be completed within approximately five months. However, the actual duration extended to nearly two years, representing a substantial deviation from the agreed timeline.From a structural perspective, the Brand Style Guidelines were not delivered in a complete or usable form. Essential elements, such as a defined Color System, were missing, resulting in the absence of a coherent visual framework from the outset. Despite this, subsequent deliverables were developed, which led to inconsistencies across the project.Several files provided contained technical errors and were not suitable for professional or commercial use. The requested corrections were not additional services, but necessary adjustments to meet minimum professional standards.Additionally, key agreed deliverables were not provided, including 3D mockups, video production and the website.During the course of the project, certain deliverables required waiting periods of up to one month, yet were still delivered with errors, indicating deficiencies in both project management and quality control processes.In contrast, comparable corrections and adjustments were completed independently within a matter of hours, highlighting a significant discrepancy in execution efficiency.A substantial portion of the total project fee (approximately 90%) was requested and paid before the initial phase had been properly completed.While certain isolated matters arose during the project and were resolved within a short timeframe, these do not reasonably account for the overall duration of nearly two years.Following the conclusion of the project, independent third-party designers reviewed the materials and identified deficiencies requiring correction, completion and partial re-execution.

Our experience with Marka works was wonderful. They are easy to work with, aligned with our vision and delivered a great product. We will definitely use them in the future !
Aliza Murtaza's Review Sourced from Google
A genuinely positive experience from start to finish. The team was professional, easy to work with, and really took the time to understand my vision. Communication was smooth throughout, and they were always responsive and open to feedback. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable marketing agency.
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:
The answer depends on your goals, budget, timeline, and internal capabilities.
