Kristi Murnahan's Review Sourced from Google
OMS makes magic happen. For real. I've had the pleasure of partnering with them for several big projects that have included both photo and video shoots highlighting products, food and talent. Not only are they lovely people to work with, they're creative, collaborative, strategic, insightful and insanely talented at solving problems and making the mundane beautiful. They've delivered excellent work on impossible timelines, and always with a smile. From food stylists to photographers and everyone in between, the entire team is amazing.
Tom Sgouris Review from Google

Tom Sgouris's Review Sourced from Google
OMS is a crew of extremely talented creatives. I say creatives because they really transcend photography. They are problem solvers and idea generators (and just nice people) who make the experience a whole lot more than having a photoshoot. Their work speaks for itself, beautifully. They are image makers I would recommend to anyone.

Retail Design Institute Admin's Review Sourced from Google
Retail Design Institute is a professional association made up of design practitioners, trade partners, educators and students, operating domestically and internationally. We originally engaged Lohre & Associates for a website using Wordpress and they exceeded our expectation. Next, they recommended and helped us integrate MembershipWorks for managing members activities (in addition to a job board and member directory); and Evalato, our competition platform. Thanks to Lohre's training and ongoing support of each platform's unique features, we can easily get new members on boarded; manage event registrants; quickly get a new competition up and running (to collect entry fees); and easily post news to the website, which is the organization's information hub. These three tools have helped us reduce time-consuming data entry and reporting -- a huge help for an organization made up of volunteers. MembershipWorks allows our local leaders to manage memberships, events and communication within their region. Lohre helped us customize our annual international design competition -- using Evalato's submission and evaluation platform -- which is one of our main revenue streams.

Sun Sugar Farms's Review Sourced from Google
It's a challenge to create a new product that can help save the world from plastic when you're up against a commodity that has been around for years. Lohre & Associates have been extremely responsive in helping me with my websites (SunSugarFarms.com and SustainableProduceContainer.com), keeping plugins updated and in getting good visibility for the sites. And they've helped me create drawings when Illustrator became too challenging for my limited experience. The experts at Lohre are not the cheapest in town but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for!

We found the perfect company for our website and looking forward to continue to work with them to further our Ecommerce venture.

Working with Greg and Kelly at Marcy Design was a fantastic experience. As a new small business owner with no idea where to start, Greg guided me through every step of the website process with clarity and support. From the very beginning, they took the time to understand my goals, mission, brand, and vision. The final product exceeded all my expectations.Their expertise in design and marketing turned my ideas into a polished, professional website that truly reflects myself and my business. I’ve received multiple compliments, and even gained new patients who said the website was a deciding factor in choosing to work with me.Even after launch, the support has been seamless — any updates or edits are done quickly, often within minutes. I highly recommend Marcy Design to any small business looking for a stress-free, high-quality web design experience. Greg and Kelly genuinely care about bringing your vision to life and helping your business thrive.

Marcy Design developed a companion website for our new book, Let’s Make a Contract (contractingwithkids.com). After several weeks of collaboration, Greg and Kelly created an eye-catching design that aligns with the book’s style and color palette and our desire for a fresh, non-cluttered, and engaging look. The Marcy team has been very responsive to requests for modifications and additions. We had a very positive experience working with Marcy Design and recommend them highly.

I've enjoyed working with Artisan both on internal projects and being placed with clients through them. While they don't see the same number of roles as some of the bigger companies, they do tend to get jobs with higher pay rates than some of the other staffing agencies - and definitely advocate for the talent when it comes to dealing with clients. I would definitely recommend getting in touch if you're looking for work in a digital/creative role.

In addition to a great placement, Artisan provided me with very good benefits, including 401K and some paid time off, which is unusual in the industry. I highly recommend Artisan to anyone who is looking for contract work.

If you told me a year ago we’d be getting this many high-quality new clients in the door, I wouldn’t have believed you. The other digital marketing firms we’ve worked with in the past have underdelivered, but not Social Firm.They’ve fine-tuned our messaging, strengthened our online presence, put us in front of the right people at the right time, and since working with them, we’ve seen a steady, increasing flow of qualified prospective clients who actually want to work with us.If you’re in a trust-based industry like ours, you need a marketing partner that understands how to attract serious clients. The Social Firm nailed it. Their work makes my job easier - and fuels our firm’s growth.

Adam Koos's Review Sourced from Google
Tired of trying to understand what SEO and SEM are, how they benefit you, and if they even work? Looking for a team of people who will not only educate you and “get the job done,” but a team that takes the time to educate you, understand your business, and provide you with only the marketing you NEED?I’ve worked with three different digital marketing firms over the years, but none have come close to the level of strategy, execution, and sheer commitment that Social Firm brings to the table. They don’t just throw cookie-cutter solutions at you and hope something sticks. Instead, they take the time to understand your brand, your audience, and your goals - then they build a plan that actually works, all while tracking KPIs and adjusting your marketing strategy along the way.From web design and branding to SEO and SEM, every project they touch is handled with precision, creativity, and a level of care that’s honestly hard to find in this space. The team is insanely responsive, ridiculously knowledgeable, and they’re just flat-out good people.So, if you’re on the fence about hiring a digital marketing firm, let this be a review that instills trust. You won’t regret it. They’re not just another digital marketing agency. Quite frankly, they’re one of the best investments I’ve ever made in my business.

Amber Gourley's Review Sourced from Google
I had the pleasure of working with W.Bradford on a branding refresh for my business, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Before finding them, I interviewed multiple branding agencies, but none seemed to go beyond simply "redesigning" a logo. W.Bradford was different. They took the time to deeply understand our business and audience, making the entire process feel thoughtful, intentional, and strategic.From the very beginning, their team was attentive, creative, and incredibly easy to work with. They started by conducting a comprehensive customer survey to gather valuable insights about our audience. Using that information, they designed a fresh new logo and completely revamped our brand identity. The transformation has been incredible—it’s far more than a visual update; it’s a complete reimagining that feels like a new chapter for our business.What truly stood out about W.Bradford was how receptive they were to feedback. They didn’t just listen—they genuinely understood our vision. They took our ideas, combined them with their expertise, and delivered results that exceeded our expectations. Every step of the process was collaborative, and their attention to detail ensured that everything was executed to perfection.Not only did they excel creatively, but their professionalism was also exceptional. They consistently stayed on top of deadlines, maintained clear and open communication, and made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. In the 7+ years I’ve owned my business, I’ve worked with many companies and coaches, and W.Bradford is one of the few that has delivered well beyond my expectations. We’re already looking forward to collaborating with W.Bradford and his team on future projects.If you’re searching for a team that does more than scratch the surface—one that can create something truly impactful—I wholeheartedly recommend W.Bradford and his team (we had the pleasure of primarily working with Becca Pitman!). They’re talented, collaborative, and deeply committed to bringing your vision to life in the most extraordinary ways.

I needed a great marketing guy and Brian is that guy! I was starting a new company and needed help with creating business cards and a website. Brian listened to what I envisioned and created an absolutely awesome website. The business cards he created for me are top notch especially with the embossed gold. I have received many compliments on both my website and business cards. I intend on using Brian for all my marketing needs! He also has a great personality making him very easy to work with which is always a plus! Thank you Brian!!!

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.
