Web Design Review from Chris Palliser
I work with Shift (Solar & Energy Storage Installer) and I had a great experience working with Major Tom on our brand refresh and new website. Their team is knowledgable, thoughtful, supportive, and I feel they personally and genuinely want us to succeed as a business. Shout out to Nathalie! They made me feel like a priority during any request, and delivered a polished functional design and UX that feels both national and locally grounded, exactly what we asked for. Communication was strong throughout, and they were quick to find solutions when challenges came up, as they inevitably do. Thank you, Major Tom! Highly Recommend!

Digital Advertising Review from Tim Thatcher
I've worked with Major Tom for just over 10 years in varying capacities across their Paid Media and Social Media teams. I've always enjoyed very positive working relationships, and they have offered great value and strategic guidance to media campaigns. They always add valuable insights into the data and make recommendations to improve overall strategy. It's always felt like a strong strategic partnership and they seem to have a positive working culture. Would highly recommend them as a media partner.

WordPress Website Design Review from Jamie McCalman
Major Tom is a strong choice for enterprise organizations that need both strategic thinking and technical reliability. They understand the demands of a national insurance brokerage and bring the right expertise to every phase of a project.
Their workflow is structured and efficient, with seamless handoffs between design, development, and launch. Anna provides excellent account leadership. She is responsive, organized, and solutions oriented. From maintaining nearly perfect uptime to rapidly addressing security and technical issues, their team is dependable. The new website components they designed have enhanced how we communicate complex insurance information to our clients.

It was a pleasure working with Alicia and Meerah! They helped us keep track of all deliverables for preparing a one-day event with an agenda that included multiple speakers and various types of sessions. During the day, their support and attention to details ensured a smooth flow, a well-prepared venue and a great user experience.

Gabriel Galand's Review Sourced from Google
I collaborated with Alicia and The Jenelle Group during a recent event and was struck by how smooth everything felt. Alicia moves fast, communicates clearly, and treats everyone with humility and respect. When a few last-minute challenges came up, she resolved them calmly and efficiently — no drama, just solutions. It’s rare to find someone who is both highly competent and genuinely great to work with. I’d absolutely partner with her again.

We had a great experience working with Alicia and her team last week. Everything was well organized, communication was clear, and the coordination made a busy schedule run smoothly from start to finish. They were nice, professional, easy to work with, and always quick to respond.
Looking forward to collaborating again on future projects. Highly recommend The Jenelle Group!

High-end brands defy commodity. Luxury products compete on the value of their experience, not retail price. Affluent buyers want to fall in love with a brand. But they also need reasons to believe in it. This makes the luxury purchase cycle longer. But once you win a new customer, you earn their loyalty...

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.
