      Package Design Review from Fabiano José Dos Santos

      After 25 years in business, we knew it was time for a brand refresh something that felt modern and exciting while still honoring the recognition weve built with our loyal customers. Studio Zak nailed it. They guided us through the rebranding and packaging redesign seamlessly, finding the perfect balance between fresh and familiar. Were thrilled with the results and cant wait to launch our updated look!

      I'd like to point out that I was coming off a terrible experience, having been scammed by a "marketing agency," and I was already very wary of the industry... But with Georgia and Marco, I immediately saw passion, professionalism, and HONESTY. They helped me get my paid work back with the other "agency," and from there, a very satisfying collaboration began, making me completely rethink advertising and marketing!! Thank you so much, Marco and Georgia 🙏🏻

The team is prepared and available.A positive experience that allowed me to grow both professionally and personally. From the very beginning I was given the opportunity to get involved and demonstrate my skills in important and always different projects.What you will find will not only be a team of industry experts, but, above all, a team of humanly fantastic people who will be pleasant to work with (an aspect not to be underestimated in the world of work!).

Frequently Asked Questions

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 CompaniesMarketing Agencies
FocusBuilding brand identity, consistency, and audience connectionDriving awareness, traffic, leads, conversions, and revenue 
ServicesBrand 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
OutputLogos, 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.

  • 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

  • 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.
