Creative Services Review from Alexandra Zhila
Our experience working with Breuk is very positive! Breuk is very diligent, patient, and talented. The sessions we have are insightful, interactive and fun. We now have a clear direction of how we can take our brand to a completely new level! I am super excited about applying everything we have learned. Our agency highly recommends 8Grape services.
Julien McRoberts's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Breuk and the team at 8grape was one of the best decisions we made for our dental tourism startup. His knowledge, insight, and guidance were invaluable from day one. He took the time to educate us on SEO, how to properly maintain our website, and the strategies needed to build strong organic traffic.The results far exceeded our expectations, and our growth reflected the quality of his work. Beyond his expertise, Breuk is genuinely enjoyable to work with - smart, approachable, and always willing to explain the "why" behind his recommendations.I wouldn't hesitate to work with Breuk again and highly recommend them to anyone looking to grow their online presence.

Sean Busch's Review Sourced from Google
Stuart and his team are very impressive to work with. We came to them with a concept and very preliminary (Kindergarten-level) drawings. They were able to take that plan and deliver something market ready in a few short meetings. They also helped with the supplier meetings to ensure tolerances, resin mixtures, and other details we had no idea about - were done to the level we were expecting. The end result was a physical product that carried two patents (which they helped with, too) and something truly innovative to an otherwise mature, sleepy category. I was very impressed by how the Prime Studio team worked and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. In fact, I've referred a few people there way already.
Doug Stukenborg's Review Sourced from Google
As co-Founder and former CEO of Welly, I can highly recommend Prime Studio as a product design partner. They worked seemlessly with our team and creative agency partner to ideate, develop options and ultimately decide on our final product and packaging design. They sought to understand our strategy and the essence of the brand in their process. I also appreciated that while we had a point person from their team to support our day-to-day efforts that they always found ways to gather ideas from their broader team to optimize the overall design. Finally, they worked closely with our manufacturing partners to ensure the design went from drawing to a physical product flawlessly. We would not have had the success we had without their partnership and support.

We had the pleasure of collaborating with Prime Studio as an industry partner on several projects to help the end client launch a successful product(s).

Wholely Admin's Review Sourced from Google
I would highly recommend working with Thompson & Prince! I worked with the team to redo our (eye sore of a) pitch deck and they were absolutely phenomenal. It was clear that they understood what investors wanted to see and the health & wellness space more broadly. They worked within our brand guidelines to present different options for the look and feel of the deck. Once I selected an option, they iterated on the slides and quickly incorporated any feedback I had to create the final version. They were very communicative and speedy while delivering high quality work. They finished all of this in less than two weeks and would have finished sooner if I had given them feedback faster. They go above and beyond to make sure that their client loves the final product and to support your business as a founder. I thoroughly enjoyed working with them and they really surpassed my expectations. I would definitely work with them again!

The whole team is great. If you care about working with good people, FischTank's the firm for you. Not to mention what they bring in terms of media contacts, pitch savviness, trendjacking, content creation, and overall strategic thinking...the results speak for themselves as they've secured us featured videos, stories, and podcasts in Reuters, TIME, Electrek, Fortune, Forbes, AOL, Solar Power World, FactorThis!, and so many more.

Colin Pratt's Review Sourced from Google
the top-tier work done by Jill, Mark, and the team at OtherWisz speaks for itself, but having gained insight into their process it's clear that they're one of the premier branding, marketing, and design outfits based in WNY. not only does their work look fantastic but it's created with intent to match their clients' wants and needs and maximize revenue for businesses and nonprofits. can't recommend OW highly enough.

Awesome Company!! I love working with these guys, when they say they will get you something by a certain time it's done by that time or before.
Tyler Muto's Review Sourced from Google
I have been using Otherwisz for my business for about 10 years. Mark and his team have developed multiple websites for me, created logos, brochures etc.I have never been disappointed with their work or service. I interviewed many companies, but ultimately what made the difference for me was that Otherwisz took the time to get to know me and my business so that they could create work that was unique and true to our company culture. That level of care and personal attention has continued to this day. Their team is always responsive if I have an issue with the website, and treats me as if I am their most important customer.My website will be due for an update soon and I will be returning to Otherwisz without a second thought.

Video Production Review from Tomas Meskauskas
BluBlue Studios was a pleasure to work with. They know what they are doing and the process of creating an explainer video for our application was a breeze. Would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for speedy, creative and quality video production.
Video Production Review from Alexandra Bacoyannis
I recommend BluBlu without any hesitation! We assigned them to work on a series of animated videos with educational stories and songs for children aged 3-5 y.o. but also on the main character artwork creation used on the series books, as copy artists and they delivered brilliantly in quality, quantity and cost, always on time. They are always available and happy to discuss and look for solutions on any issue that may occur. I am looking forward to our next project together,
Video Production Review from Claudiu Ludosan
I'm glad I had the chance of working with Jacob and his team. They have formidable illustrators and animators and their understanding of one's objectives from just one discussion is impressive. It is rare that you come across such well organized and passionate teams. I will definitely ask for their support on our next project!
The tangible advantage is the commercial rigor that New York graphic designers bring. Notably, industries such as luxury, beauty, fashion, and consumer goods have their aesthetic standards largely set by New York's design culture.
If your brand competes in any of those spaces, or aspires to, work produced by a graphic design agency in New York will be calibrated to those standards.
Where the credibility argument becomes weaker is in industries that are geographically rooted or community-driven: regional retail, local hospitality, municipal services, or businesses where the audience actively values local identity.
In those situations, a New York graphic design firm may actually produce work that feels tonally misaligned, optimized for a commercial sophistication that your audience does not respond to and may even find off-putting.
The consumer segment is also worth considering in this context. If your brand operates in a B2B sphere where you are being evaluated by sophisticated buyers (investors, enterprise procurement teams), the quality standard that a New York agency typically delivers can function as a credibility signal in its own right.
The work itself communicates that your organization invests in its brand at a serious level, which carries weight in high-stakes evaluation environments regardless of where you are based.
Here is what a realistic graphic design project timeline looks like, broken down by service type:
Most graphic design companies in New York structure contracts around two to three formal revision rounds per project phase, which is relatively standard across the industry.
However, the definition of what constitutes a "revision round" is where clients frequently encounter friction.
A single revision round typically means one consolidated set of feedback submitted by the client, responded to in full by the agency.
It does not mean an ongoing back-and-forth dialogue, and agencies in the New York market are generally strict about this distinction, given the premium value they place on senior staff time.
Where it becomes more nuanced is in how phases are defined within the contract.
A branding project may be broken into distinct phases: strategy, concept development, refinement, and finalization, each carrying its own separate revision allowance, meaning the total number of feedback opportunities across the full engagement can be higher than the per-phase number suggests.
Understanding this structure upfront is important because clients who provide fragmented or unconsolidated feedback across multiple touchpoints can exhaust their revision rounds before the work reaches a satisfactory conclusion.
A graphic design contract protects both parties, but several common clauses are structured in ways that disproportionately favor the agency and are easy to overlook before signing. Here’s what to look out for:
Most agencies control the pitch conversation by design. To evaluate a graphic designer in New York on your terms rather than theirs, you should ask some of the following questions:
The pricing model itself is diagnostic as it tells you how an agency thinks about risk and scope before you have reviewed a single deliverable.
A project-based agency has done this work enough times to price it with confidence, but has a financial incentive to scope narrowly and bill for anything outside that boundary.
A time-and-materials agency absorbs scope ambiguity more flexibly, but transfers financial risk to you, which might make final costs harder to forecast without close oversight.
The more useful question is not which model is better, but which aligns with your project: well-defined briefs favor fixed-project pricing, while engagements involving discovery or frequent stakeholder input often work better on a time-and-materials or retainer basis.
To compare two agencies using different models directly, ask each to estimate total project hours and derive their blended hourly rate across the team assigned to your account.
That single number tells you more about relative value than the pricing structure ever will.

Client retention rate measures the share of paying clients who continue working with an agency over a given period. In essence, it reveals whether an agency sustains long-term client relationships or primarily works on one-off projects.
In creative services, a good retention rate commonly clusters between 70% and 80%, with top‑performing agencies sometimes exceeding 85%. For purely project‑based setups (including many design studios), retention is often closer to 50% to 70%. So, while the 70% to 85% band is plausible for a retainer‑oriented graphic design company in New York, it’s more of a ballpark than a universal standard.
The cleanest method to find out the rate is to ask the agency directly: “What percentage of your clients come back beyond the initial project?” or “What is your annual client retention rate?” You can also look for indirect signals in their portfolio: repeat appearances of the same brand across different campaigns or touchpoints strongly suggest ongoing relationships and are a reasonable proxy when hard numbers aren’t shared.
New York's design scene is distinctly commerce-driven compared to other major hubs. Graphic design companies in New York are greatly shaped by the demands of finance, fashion, media, and publishing, which means the work tends to prioritize brand authority, editorial precision, and market positioning over the more experimental or technology-forward aesthetics you often see coming out of California-based agencies.
These agencies operate in one of the most competitive and deadline-sensitive business environments in the world, which inherently produces designers who know how to work within brand constraints and deliver under pressure.
New York graphic designers, by virtue of their environment, tend to be fluent across a wider range of industries simultaneously, which makes them particularly well-suited for brands that need work to perform across both cultural and commercial contexts.
So, when evaluating a graphic design company in New York, it is worth considering whether their portfolio reflects the specific commercial pressures of your industry, because the city's diversity of influence is an asset only if the agency can channel it in a direction relevant to your business.
Before budgeting for any creative project, it’s practical to know that the pricing for graphic design services in New York will vary based on whether you are engaging a boutique studio or a full-service agency.
The majority of graphic design companies in New York charge between $125 and $200 per hour, with more exclusive firms pushing rates up to $275 per hour. Here’s what to expect for different services:
| Service | Average cost |
| Logo design | $300 to $1,500 |
| Basic website design | $3,000 to $10,000 |
| eCommerce website design | $5,000 to $50,000+ |
| Single landing page design | $500 to $3,000 |
| WordPress theme design | $1,000 to $5,000 |
| App design | $3,000 to $30,000+ |
| Icon design | $10 to $200+ per icon |
| Social media post design | $5 to $50 per post |
| Email template design | $100 to $500+ |
| Infographic design | $100 to $2,000+ |
The most common unexpected cost is revision fees. Most graphic design companies in New York structure contracts around a fixed number of revision rounds, and any changes requested beyond that threshold are billed separately, often at the agency's full hourly rate.
Rush fees are also commonly underestimated, typically adding 25% to 50% to the project cost when timelines compress, and in a New York agency environment, where senior staff time is highly allocated, even modest deadline changes can trigger that surcharge. Third-party asset costs (stock photography, licensed typefaces) are also frequently excluded from the initial project quote and billed as pass-through expenses.
Ownership of final design files is one of the most consequential and least-discussed points in any client-agency agreement, and the default position of most graphic design companies in New York is that they retain the native source files unless the contract explicitly states otherwise.
What you typically receive at the end of a project are flattened export files (a PDF of your logo, a JPEG of your brand assets), which are sufficient for immediate use but leave you dependent on the original agency for any future modifications, scaling, or adaptations of the work.
The consequence of this becomes most visible when you need to resize a brand asset for a new application, launch a product extension that requires design adaptation, or simply switch to a different graphic design company in New York at any point. Not owning the source files means starting from scratch or returning to your original agency on their terms and at their rates.
The reason agencies retain source files is partly commercial, as it creates recurring revenue and client lock-in, but it is also sometimes framed as protecting the integrity of the work, preventing unskilled modifications that could compromise the design system they built. That rationale has some merit, but it should not come at the cost of your operational independence.
Higher fees in New York State are not automatically justified by the cost of operations alone, but the talent pool and professional pedigree the state produces, even outside of the city, do provide a reasonable basis for a modest premium over agencies in lower-cost states. Graphic design firms in New York often charge roughly 20% to 40% more than comparable shops in lower‑cost markets, and many clients accept that premium mainly for access to senior‑level designers with big‑brand experience.
The cost dynamics shift considerably when you move beyond New York City into the broader state. Agencies operating in Buffalo, Albany, Rochester, or Syracuse carry lower overhead than their NYC counterparts, which typically translates into more competitive fees without a proportional drop in quality.
That said, New York State still commands a premium relative to national averages, and for legitimate reasons. The state's design ecosystem outside of NYC attracts professionals who have trained or worked in highly competitive environments, many having come from New York City itself, bringing that same caliber of commercial thinking to markets with lower operating costs. In practical terms, you may access senior-level technical and creative work at rates that a comparable NYC agency would not offer.
