Brandmint has helped our company tremendously when it comes to our marketing, PR, website and lead generation. Our account manager Gillian is really a pleasure to work with, I cannot say enough good things about her and the efforts of the entire Brandmint team!
Jill Marshall Gould's Review Sourced from Google
I was very excited to find a Rochester agency that could build my brand and website when starting my company. I had met with a number of different website developers, graphic designers, programmers from all over the world. As a solo entrepreneur, I would have been managing 2-3 people to build out the branding and website. Instead, Brandmint’s team worked to build the brand and I only had to manage/communicate my vision to them. They are an agency that I can grow into their full suite of services. It saves me time having a one stop shop. The Brandmint team is an incredible local asset and I am excited to work with them on future projects.
Jason Charles's Review Sourced from Google
Overall great experience working with the Brandmint team. Creative approach to marketing with excellent graphic artists. The video production team is world class!

Dawn and her team are absolute powerhouses. They bring serious brainpower to all the complex digital areas I don’t fully understand—and they make it feel effortless.

Pat Mastro's Review Sourced from Google
We highly recommend Shamrock Renovations, LLC. as an excellent contractor. Shamrock specializes in new construction and renovation work.We recently worked with Mr. Patrick Kusler (Shamrock Renovations) for about 2 years on the total renovation of a 2,400 square foot condo and their work was perfection. Mr. Kusler is the highest quality professional who listens to the client, has excellent work relations with the architects and produces a top quality product. His attention to detail, his ability to bring in the best subcontractors and produce what you want for your agreed upon budget is spot on.This project was a once in a life time dream of ours and their workmanship did not disappoint.We can highly recommend Mr. Kusler and Shamrock. We have completed 5 renovations during our lifetime and he is, by far, the best contractor that we have dealt with.

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.
