VM Reviews & Testimonials

Video Production Review from Meaghan Sandtorv
Having worked with VM for more than 2 years, I can confidently say they are the best agency I've ever had the pleasure of working with. We have worked with them in both a video capacity and used them on an ad-hoc basis for miscellaneous design needs such as brand illustrations, ad campaigns, and social media content. Communication is timely, feedback is promptly incorporated, and the final product always exceeds our expectations and is of the highest quality. As an art director with limited bandwidth, I never feel like I have to micromanage them in order to get the results I'm looking for— what they deliver always meets the brief, sometimes on the first try. The team is so pleasant to work with— it truly feels like a collaboration rather than delegation. I cannot recommend VM enough!

Video Production Review from Eric Swenson
We worked with VM to produce an animated video for Prophet Security's presence at RSA Conference, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. What stood out early on was how the team took the time to learn about our market, understand the audience we were trying to reach, and get a clear handle on what we wanted the video to accomplish. That effort showed in the final product. The graphics were sharp and engaging, and the messaging landed exactly the way we needed it to. Beyond the creative work, the team was a pleasure to collaborate with: responsive, open to feedback, and genuinely invested in getting it right. I would highly recommend VM to anyone looking for quality motion graphics work, especially if you need a creative partner who's willing to go deep on your story in order to translate complex, technical concepts into compelling visual storytelling.

Video Marketing Review from Calen Pogue
The VanzMaedia team worked on a large "U" shaped video screen that was inside a 60'x90' show booth at the PGA Show in Orlando, Fl. They created premium motion graphics, text transition, and product animations for a 6 minute brand sequence. Their team took direction extremely well and even provided some creative input on the flow and transitions for the video. They were very responsive and communicative and made us feel at ease with a tight deadline. Their knowledge and know how and ability to understand the project is unparalleled. Producing a video that was creative, polished, and satisfied key stakeholders visions. Ultimately leading to a successful show that generated revenue for the business.

Being a start-up inside a very competitive landscape, our brand needed to be perfect from the very beginning.

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.
Robin Tan's Review Sourced from Google
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). Throughout our partnership, Prime Studio consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. Their team was highly knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated to delivering high-quality results.Prime Studio's innovative approach and attention to detail significantly contributed to the success of our projects. They were always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that our goals were met and that the end client received the best possible outcomes.We highly recommend Prime Studio to any organization looking for a reliable and skilled partner for branding and product experience. Their commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction is truly commendable.

Web Design Review from Barbara Tomitz
Our law firm has been working with Lighthaus Design for over 20 years. We are certainly not their biggest client, but they always have treated us as their #1 client. We appreciate the personalized handling of our account. They are responsive and complete work within the project deadlines. Glenn is very helpful when asked about things unrelated to our website. I would recommend them for website design and development.Barbara Tomitz

Social Media Marketing Review from Anna Scolaro
Lighthaus Design worked with us when we first developed our franchise program over 20+ years ago. We worked with 1 other company during that time and it didn't take long to reconnect with Glenn & Joanne at Lighthaus. We are a 3rd generation family owned business directly speaking to our franchisees on a daily basis. Lighthaus design holds true to those same values, great customer service. They are very knowledgable, professional and respond quickly to any request. A great company.

Branding Review from Hannah Alstein
I had the pleasure of collaborating with the founder, Todd and his team to develop a comprehensive messaging and branding strategy, as well as to design a website for a sustainable event planning concept. Todd's attentiveness and ability to truly understand our challenges and the narrative we aimed to convey were truly commendable. He effectively captured and communicated our story in a manner that felt authentic and resonated with our audience. Todd and his team's work exceeded our expectations and set a high standard for quality.

Digital Design Review from Shayan Bokaie
Todd and his team at Wolf&Whale are world-class designers and strategists who helped me build a product roadmap and website design. They are a very sharp, creative, and collaborative team that have a ton of impressive experience to help validate their approach. I was super happy with how timely they were in delivering mockups, research, and directional work. I'm looking forward to continuing our work with them as we launch our business in a few months.

Visual Communication Review from Theresa Byczek
Breuk did a fantastic job redoing my résumé. He completely transformed the layout, making it incredibly easy to read and significantly better to look at. His eye for visual design and professional presentation really stands out. I am much more confident sending my résumé out to employers now.

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.

Working with CMT Graphics has been a great experience from start to finish. Panos and Helen were responsible and reliable throughout the process of website (www.sapiencemed.com) and business card design. They focus on the vision of the client yet offer their thoughts for maximizing the reach of the final design/product to the appropriate audience. Additionally, they ensured that the right services were provided for the right budget which I appreciated. Would highly recommend them for website/logo and brand design overall.

Web Development Review from Sergey Zenko
The client is a software development company working on Salesforce domain providing implementation from scratch or existing code enhancement services. Ester Digital was involved in designing and developing the third version of the client’s website, especially working on UX and UI implementation and content development as well. The project was completed at the right time but there were no specific deadlines fixed and within the fixed budget. The client is highly satisfied with Ester Digital because of their UX and UI designing skills and reasonable prices and they highly recommend them to their friends.

I own a midlle scale startup in Europe and we really could not figure out how to get some website traction going. There was this guy, Leon, he contacted us and explained everything like 1+1. Afterwards we started working with Ester Digital and our website started to look so professional. Right now we are probably best in town. Keep going guys and success!

Navigating the process of website reinvention felt like a daunting task until we partnered with Thinkhouse. From our initial consultation, Adam and Joyce provided a clear and well-organized roadmap, guiding us step-by-step through what could have been a stressful experience. They didn't just listen to our ideas; they truly met us in our vision, offering insightful suggestions and expertly translating our concepts into a stunning finished product that perfectly reflects our business. What impressed us most was their collaborative approach. They were consistently open to our edit requests, responding promptly and making themselves readily accessible throughout the entire development process. The result is a website we are not only satisfied with but genuinely proud of. We highly recommend Thinkhouse for their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to bringing their clients' visions to life.

6 FAQs About Graphic Design Companies in New York
What does a New York graphic designer’s client retention rate tell me, and how do I find it?
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.
How does New York's design scene differ from other major creative hubs like California, and does that affect the work?
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.
How much do these local specialists charge for their services?
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+ |
What are the most common hidden fees graphic design firms in New York charge that clients don't expect?
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.
Who owns the final design files, and why does it matter if the agency retains the source files?
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.
Will a New York agency's higher cost of operations automatically mean higher fees for me, and is that premium justified?
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.
