Branding Review from Nastya Adamova
Our cooperation with Bambuk team was really great. They are a synergy of creativity and constant desire to get better. Working on the project, the team considers every little detail. Communication with the team is on professional level, but with a touch of "friendship", as we have worked together many times and become good friends.
Digital Services Review from ICMP Staff
We can't speak highly enough of Bambuk Studio's team.Our projects gave us the chance to work with a superb team of professionals. Their work was characterised by excellent creativity, expertise and - really importantly for us - a relentless willingness to work on all the little details until just the right end result. I can only firmly recommend them for their brilliant work.

We recently worked closely with Andrew and his talented team at Psychoactive Studios to redesign our website and refine our brand presence online for Hype Entertainment.From discovery session to completion the whole process has been fun and exciting - engaging with the passionate team and always having a big grin seeing the new stages of development as they are completed. The diverse team of talent was able to bring our futuristic vision to life, with 3D elements that exceeded expectations and silky smooth scrolling that takes you on a journey through space to see our creative installations.Highly recommend if you’re looking to take your branding to the next level!
NZ MindFuel's Review Sourced from Google
Have been meaning to write a positive review for Psychoactive Studios for weeks, but the Ecsplore brand that they helped us launch has been such a success we have not had a chance. Psychoactive understood our market well and were able to create branding the has connected extremely well with our customers. Whats more we were able to continue working smoothly through lock-downs and crazy events of 2022 via video meetings and email. If you need high end branding for a product Psychoactive is as good as it gets.
AVID Gallery's Review Sourced from Google
A great team of people who were a delight to deal with from our very first meeting through to the successful launch of our new website. We had some very clear and quite challenging objectives in mind and Psychoactive delivered exactly what we were looking for. We thoroughly enjoyed the team’s collaborative approach to problem-solving and the smooth and efficient way they dealt with any concerns or queries we may have had. Feedback on the new website has been overwhelmingly positive and we look forward to working further with Psychoactive as it develops in the future.

As good as it gets! Agota is very perceptive, intuitive and hard working designer. She heard every word I said about what I wanted and what I liked. She was able to recreate my space in the most efficient way and all within my budget, beautifully mixing in pieces I already owned. She is very creative in juggling and blending stylish with practical. Excellent communication and prompt response to everything throughout the project. I recommend The Teak in full confidence.
Kate Greer's Review Sourced from Google
The Teak is the ideal design partner for all your interior design needs. They create artful, intimate spaces, each a unique reflection of its inhabitants. They did a fabulous job helping me turn a generic, utilitarian guest suite and guest room into cosy, inviting spaces that make visitors feel at home. I highly recommend them for projects large or small.
Anastassia Babanskaia's Review Sourced from Google
We hired The Teak to help us with interior design of two of our homes- an industrial Loft and Vacation Rental property in The Sea Ranch. The team at The Teak did a spectacular job. Their approach to design and client partnership is world-class. The project was done on time, on budget and with exceptional attention to detail. The team is responsive, accommodating and highly creative. Highly Recommend!

Created an incredible, engaging and unquestionably market-leading website for us, under extremely demanding circumstances! The most important part though? It was all super solution focused and it never felt like the clock was ticking! Which is huge! Thanks to Maija for managing us with a smile throughout and James, Tom and Stephan plus the the supporting team. TOP TOP JOB!

I used Framework to design and build a new website for my business. From the outset, they were fantastic to work with - clear communication, excellent design and technical prowess. I'm super happy with my new site and will be using Framework for all future web development. 10/10
Dave Everington's Review Sourced from Google
We are so pleased we decided to work with Framework. From start to finish they have been so clear with timelines, possibilities and creative design. Even after the website went live we have worked with the team to make small amends which were turned around extremely quickly. Special mention for Phoebe who managed the project. She has been so helpful throughout.

Shashi Yadav's Review Sourced from Google
I applied for a job with this company and waited a long time without any response. I tried calling the front reception for an update, but after asking for my name, they simply rejected my application without providing any reason. This feels unprofessional and discouraging for candidates. If applications are going to be rejected without explanation, it’s unclear why job openings are advertised in the first place. Better communication and transparency would really improve the candidate experience wasting time
Manish Srivastava's Review Sourced from Google
Unprofessional Behaviour. We had a live call and the executive was driving while he was attending the call. Post that i requested the information no one ever reverted. Certainly not a best gaming company.

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.
- Graphic design and creative production:Creating visual assets such as brochures, posters, packaging, presentations, infographics, and branded collateral.
- 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.
