Our Picks for The Best Graphic Design Companies in 2023

SocialSEO

The top graphic design company on our rankings is SocialSEO. They are an award-winning agency that boasts more than 20 years of experience.

• Why we chose them: They are listed by INC 5000 as one of the fastest-growing agencies in the United States. Additionally, client reviews show that they are known for their professionalism, transparency, and reliability.
• What you should consider: Their required minimum budget ranges from $1,000 - $10,000. This may not be the best fit for small businesses with a limited budget that only require basic graphic design services.
• Who are they for: SocialSEO collaborated with both large local and national brands as well as small local businesses. B2B and B2C brands of all sizes can tap their specialized services, especially if they need help with producing images, graphics, and GIFs for their social media channels.

PKG Brand Design

The next on our list of the best graphic design agencies is PKG Brand Design. It is an award-winning design firm that caters to domestic and international consumer goods businesses, mostly in the food and beverage sector.

• Why we chose them: PKG is a consumer-focused agency that has worked with nationally recognized brands such as Hillshire Farm, Perdue Farm, Natural Cut, Yakult, Home Chef, and more.
• What you should consider: If you wish to outsource their services for a simple graphic design project, their $150 rate per hour might be too costly for your needs.
• Who are they for: PKG Brand Design is the ideal partner agency for businesses in the food and beverage industry.

SmartSites

Being an award-winning agency with more than two decades of experience is enough reason for SmartSites to be part of our list of top graphic design companies. They boast a team of designers who can help create powerful graphics that can elevate your brand.

• Why we chose them: Working with them means you will be working with a trusted graphic designer who can help you choose the right and attention-grabbing visual content. Based on client reviews, applying their design can help you increase revenue by up to 42%.
• What you should consider: Their $100 hourly rate can be pretty steep for businesses that only need simple graphic design services, such as regularly producing visual content for their social media channels.
• Who are they for: B2B and B2C businesses of all sizes can work with SmartSites. Private practices, eCommerce brands, and car parts dealers can especially benefit from the company’s experience in working for such businesses.

Digital Silk

Our next recommend graphic design firm is Digital Silk. They are a top-rated agency that specializes in creative design and strategy. Their unique selling point is that they help clients build a brand book that details their visual identity, like logo, color palette, typography, and more.

• Why we chose them: Based on their client reviews, professionals at Digital Silk take the time to understand the full scope of the project which helps them outline many creative ideas. When you look at their case studies, you will see that they can produce a 56% customer retention rate, a 43% increase in conversion rate, and a 20% increase in sales.
• What you should consider: Specializing in brand design strategy means they provide full-scale branding services, including marketing and communication strategy. Some of these may be unnecessary if all you need are simple graphics design services.
• Who are they for: Digital Silk can work with B2B and B2C brands of all sizes in various industries. However, technology corporations, conglomerates, and telecommunication companies can benefit more from the agency’s experience of working with such businesses.

Ignite Visibility

Another graphics design agency among our top picks is Ignite Visibility. They are a six-time INC 5000 firm that provides graphic design and creative services. Their key to success is their team of graphics designers who have extensive experience in working for print, advertising, and digital media.
