Svitlana Vyshnyakova's Review Sourced from Google
I had a great photo session with Nastaran. She created a positive environment where I felt comfortable. She also took all my requests into consideration, so the final result of my photos was exactly what I wanted. The photos are nicely edited and maintain a natural look. I will definitely be back. Thank you Nastaran 🫶🏻
Nathalya Nunes's Review Sourced from Google
I had an amazing experience working with them. The studio space is absolutely beautiful and very well prepared. Masoud is an excellent professional with an incredible portfolio, and most importantly, he truly delivers everything he promises. The work was done efficiently, but always with a strong focus on quality. The final results, both photos and videos exceeded my expectations, especially the editing, which was outstanding. I’m very grateful for the experience, and I would definitely work with them again.
Ml Sn's Review Sourced from Google
Masoud is an exceptional photographer. He is very attentive to details, meticulous, and incredibly patient. He truly takes his time and clearly loves what he does. Very calm, respectful, and easy to work with, which makes the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. He is also very flexible and listens to your needs. He won’t stop until you’re fully satisfied. A true professional. I trust him for all my real estate projects he always delivers quality results. I highly recommend working with him.Thank you again, Masoud!

Patricia Lipscomb's Review Sourced from Google
My husband and I are building a house and our builder did not have capabilities of showing us a 3D rendering. I found Real Space 3D online and thought the prices looks quite reasonable. Stefan walked me through the very complete process which included several steps for feedback on how the structure was shaping up. I loved the first image so much I had them render a view from the back as well! I gave them a few cues as to the landscape of the lot and they did a beautiful translation to accent the house. I couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome. I forwarded the information of RealSpace 3D to my builder as a way for future home owners to get a better idea of what they will be building. Thank you RealSpace!
Francisco Marcos's Review Sourced from Google
I worked with Stefan and Ian from RealSpace 3D after finding them on google and chatting with a few different vendors. I am so happy I decided to work with them instead of the other vendors I found!The RealSpace 3D team was extremely professional, and efficient in all the work they did. We had a very tight deadline of 2 weeks and they managed to create spectacular renders for us in such little time. Very grateful to have worked with them, and will continue to do so moving forward :)
Vanessa Brash's Review Sourced from Google
The team at Real Space 3D has been SO easy to work with! They were able to articulate our ideas in a timely manner, and transform them into unique marketing material. We will be working with them again in the future and I 100% recommend you reach out!

PASTELERÍA BUENAVISTA's Review Sourced from Google
It has been a true pleasure working with Sara. She understood perfectly what I was looking for from the very beginning, and I am delighted with the result. Her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail made the entire process very easy. I am sure we will continue to collaborate on many more projects.
María Livoti's Review Sourced from Google
I thought she was the ideal person to carry out a job in which she supposedly specializes, which is why I decided on her. I had a product box designed by someone else, long before I contacted her, and I needed a display for this product, aimed at a specific establishment, in which Sara has a lot of experience. When she saw the other designer's box, she not only despised him with shameful arrogance, but also refused to work on the project. A complete demonstration of poor ethics and professionalism.
ZD's Review Sourced from Google
From the moment I saw Sara's portfolio, I knew she would be the perfect person to design our logo, and she exceeded my expectations. She perfectly understood what I wanted to convey and transformed it into a modern and professional image. I'm thrilled! I highly recommend her.

Amitava Nag's Review Sourced from Google
Few years back, as a writer, I wanted a home for all my books to be listed together along with reviews on them.When I looked around there were quite a few options to try out but I chose a2z Sites for precisely two reasons: intuitive understanding of a writer’s sense of aesthetics and a really low turn-around time.Needlessly to say, I was satisfied with their work and happy that I took a correct decision.As the site grew over the years, whenever a new book came to the market the a2z team had been lightning fast in making it part of my website. For a person who is not technically knowledgeable in these matters, they provide me with trust and efficiency—a rare combination in this market.I happily recommend them to all interested.Amitava Nag
RAMENDRA KUMAR's Review Sourced from Google
Building a website is one thing; making it truly reflect the person behind it is quite another. The a2z Sites team did exactly that for me. From concept and easy-to-navigate design to content organisation and giving my website a warm, viewer-friendly look, they handled everything. When there was a technical snag, they responded with alacrity, sorted it out and took over the ongoing maintenance as well. Their ability to intuitively understand a problem and fix it is remarkable. I would happily and highly recommend them. Ramendra Kumar, Writer, Storyteller, TEDx Speaker

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.
