Digital Marketing Review from Rebecca Zeni
I had a great experience working with Kim at Motion PR. I am a small business so she was able to tailor her expertise to my needs. I would highly recommend her.
Digital Marketing Review from Paul Litardo
Motion PR has a great staff and a great leader in Kim Eberl. My experience the past several months have been great. I recommend Motion PR to everyone.
Digital Marketing Review from Rita Dragonette
I've had the pleasure of working with Motion as both colleague and client. As a colleague I was referred to them for a number of my CEO clients. The high-level coverage they were able to secure was very instrumental in significantly raising the profile of those clients and helping them attract the opportunities they were after. As a client, Motion was able to quickly and innovatively operationalize a successful social giving program to fund a scholarship I started as part of the launch for my new novel. The response was terrific for book awareness and quickly became fully funded. The agency is highly responsive, the staff skilled and engaging. Terrific client service.

Mary and her staff are the hands down best in the business. She is a dynamic and delightful person, and the service provided is world class. Our business would be lost without the results we see from their effort.

Amber Gourley's Review Sourced from Google
I had the pleasure of working with W.Bradford on a branding refresh for my business, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Before finding them, I interviewed multiple branding agencies, but none seemed to go beyond simply "redesigning" a logo. W.Bradford was different. They took the time to deeply understand our business and audience, making the entire process feel thoughtful, intentional, and strategic.From the very beginning, their team was attentive, creative, and incredibly easy to work with. They started by conducting a comprehensive customer survey to gather valuable insights about our audience. Using that information, they designed a fresh new logo and completely revamped our brand identity. The transformation has been incredible—it’s far more than a visual update; it’s a complete reimagining that feels like a new chapter for our business.What truly stood out about W.Bradford was how receptive they were to feedback. They didn’t just listen—they genuinely understood our vision. They took our ideas, combined them with their expertise, and delivered results that exceeded our expectations. Every step of the process was collaborative, and their attention to detail ensured that everything was executed to perfection.Not only did they excel creatively, but their professionalism was also exceptional. They consistently stayed on top of deadlines, maintained clear and open communication, and made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. In the 7+ years I’ve owned my business, I’ve worked with many companies and coaches, and W.Bradford is one of the few that has delivered well beyond my expectations. We’re already looking forward to collaborating with W.Bradford and his team on future projects.If you’re searching for a team that does more than scratch the surface—one that can create something truly impactful—I wholeheartedly recommend W.Bradford and his team (we had the pleasure of primarily working with Becca Pitman!). They’re talented, collaborative, and deeply committed to bringing your vision to life in the most extraordinary ways.

Every agency is independently vetted before it can be listed or ranked
Some agencies pay for sponsored placement, clearly labeled and held to the same vetting standards.
Creative agencies offer services that help define how brands are perceived in the market. Core creative services include:
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.
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:

| 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.
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.
