Tenet undertook a thorough discovery process involving quantitative and qualitative research, data gathering, a competitive analysis, interviews of internal and external stakeholders, and surveys, which informed the creative process.

AI Consulting Review from Rubesh Jacobs
iThink Digital handles our AI consulting support, website management, and email marketing, and honestly the reason it works is that they got our world quickly. We advise asset and wealth management firms on go-to-market strategy, so our own marketing has to hold to the standard we set for clients, and they never treated that as a nice-to-have. On AI they pushed us to think about where it genuinely fits into how we already work instead of selling us tools we did not need, which is exactly the argument we make to our own clients. The website stays maintained and keeps getting better without me having to chase anyone, and the monthly newsletter runs end to end on their side, from the thinking through to the send. They show up every week, deliver when they say they will, and write for an institutional audience that has no patience for fluff. At this point they feel less like an agency we hired and more like part of the team.
Marketing Strategy Review from Jessica Hass
Working with iThink Digital has been an outstanding experience. They took ownership of our branding, website, SEO, social media, and overall marketing strategy, making the entire process seamless. What impressed us most was how quickly they understood our goals and turned them into real results. Our online presence is stronger, our brand feels more polished, and we've seen a noticeable increase in quality inquiries. The team is proactive, creative, responsive, and genuinely invested in our success. They feel like an extension of our business, not just another agency. I highly recommend iThink Digital to any business looking for a reliable marketing partner that delivers measurable result
Social Media Marketing Review from Runal Sakla-Nadgauda

We've seen a noticeable increase in our brand visibility, engagement, website traffic, and customer inquiries. They're easy to work with, always responsive, bring fresh ideas to the table, and genuinely care about our growth.

We could not be more pleased with our experience with 42Connect! From beginning to end they exceeded our expectations. From the time they invested to understand our industry-specific needs, to collaborating on design, and ultimately turning our vision into a professional and polished website, their entire team was outstanding. Our questions were answered quickly and they were, and continue to be, willing to make adjustments and provide guidance, suggestions, and training as needed. We felt like our project was a priority at every phase of the journey. The pricing was fair and transparent, and exceeded what we expected from our investment. We recommend 42Connect regularly to anyone and everyone interested in working with knowledgeable, creative, reliable experts who are invested in the success of their customers!
Web Design Review from Rose Jones
From concept to launch, the team at 42Connect were great. The design process was seamless and the team was helpful and responsive to our ideas and changes. Once developed and launched, tweaks and edits were a simple email, and we were even provided with a training session on maintenance. If I were reading this, I'd assume it was a paid endorsement, but I honestly cannot think of one pain point during the entire process. I highly recommend 42Connect each and every time I have an opportunity!

The 42Connect team was organized, responsive, knowledgeable and their expertise was apparent right from the start. They provide excellent customer service, excellent communication, quality work and are simply great to work with.

This team not only creates great work, but they invest in understanding your business, your values, and what makes you different.

Web Design Review from Julian Thiers
Peppermint helped us redesigning Payfree's website and web apps from the ground up. Their work included a fresh visual identity, UX/UI design and custom graphics explaining how our RFID platform supports checkout and store operations. What impressed us most was that they approached the project not only as a design task, but as a positioning challenge. They translated a technical, integration-heavy product into a clear and approachable story for retail, operations and IT decision-makers. Amazing work. The collaboration was smooth and well organized. Deadlines were met, feedback was implemented quickly and potential issues were raised early. The result gives us a strong and consistent foundation for our website, sales materials, marketing and outreach. We would gladly work with Peppermint again and do so on a regular basis.

Jay Bell's Review Sourced from Google
I’m a fairly tech-savvy guy, and for the past decade, I’ve been using a web site for my business that I cobbled together using purchased themes. I’ve tried a variety of them, but they never quite did what I wanted them to. My frustration increased until I basically stopped using my site entirely. This meant the customers stopped going there too. Embarrassed of my company’s public appearance, I finally decided that it was time to bring in a professional. Sherry and the team over at JV Media Design turned out to be the perfect choice. Their reputation was stellar and the price was competitive, but I got so much more than a pretty new site.Sherry encouraged me to really start thinking about what I wanted my website to accomplish. That sounded simple enough. I wanted customers to arrive and be dazzled. What then? Did I want the flow to direct them straight to my new eCommerce store? Or was I more interested in newsletter sign ups? Which aspects of my business did I want to prioritize? Working together, we were able to come up with a new layout. My site used to be a confusing mess of options. Now it’s streamlined to get the results I want most. Best of all, it finally looks good on mobile devices, which is absolutely crucial these days. Hiring a professional also helped me save time. I used to lose days if not weeks to updating my site, when I most definitely had more pressing matters to tend to. Working with Sherry and her crew, I was still involved in the process, but all the hard work fell on their shoulders. The result? A very happy customer with a stylish new site that is seeing plenty of traffic again. I cannot recommend JV Media Design enough!

Graphic design companies help businesses communicate visually by creating assets used across branding, marketing, and digital products. Their goal is to keep your brand consistent and make your content clear, engaging, and easy to use.
Core services include:
Some graphic design studios also offer motion graphics, basic animation, and more advanced visual work depending on your needs.
The best way to work with a graphic design company is to follow a structured, step-by-step process with clear inputs, approvals, and feedback at each stage.
A structured process keeps timelines predictable, reduces costs, and ensures the final design aligns with your business goals rather than personal preferences.
Graphic design companies help your business look professional, communicate clearly, and turn attention into real results. They are not just creating visuals. They shape how people see and trust your brand.
Here is what they can do for your business:
Best graphic designers create a consistent visual identity across your website, social media, and marketing materials. This makes your business easier to remember and builds trust faster. A clear, consistent brand also helps you look more established, even if you are still growing.
Well-designed visuals get attention and keep people engaged. Designers use layout, colors, and structure to guide users toward key messages or actions. This leads to better engagement on social media, stronger campaigns, and more effective ads.
Good design makes it easier for users to understand your offer and take action. Clean layouts, clear messaging, and better user experience reduce confusion and help more people move from interest to purchase.
Design is not just a one-time cost. It builds brand equity over time. A strong visual system also makes future work faster and more efficient by allowing you to reuse templates, styles, and components instead of starting from scratch.
Before signing a contract, ask clear questions to confirm the agency’s experience, how they work, and how they will handle your specific project.
| Aspect | Graphic design company | Freelancer |
| Team | Multiple specialists (design, strategy, UX) | One person |
| Capacity | Handles large and ongoing projects | Limited availability |
| Reliability | Structured process and timelines | Depends on the individual |
| Skill range | Broad expertise across design areas | Usually specialized in one area |
| Scalability | Easy to scale work up or down | Hard to scale |
| Communication | Managed, often with account support | Direct but less structured |
| Cost | Higher upfront, better long-term value | Lower upfront costs |
| Best for | Branding, campaigns, and ongoing design | Small tasks, quick fixes |
You should hire a custom graphic design company if you want consistent quality, broader expertise, and reliable delivery, especially for ongoing or complex work. Agencies provide structured teams, defined processes, and accountability. They handle larger scopes, multiple assets, and long-term brand work more efficiently.
Freelancers work well for small, one-off tasks, but they rely on a single person, which limits capacity and consistency.

Graphic design firms price projects based on scope, complexity, and the value the work brings to your business.
Common pricing models include:
Graphic design companies typically charge between $100 and $150+ per hour, with total costs depending on the type and scope of work.
For one-time projects, pricing varies widely:
For ongoing work, many graphic design companies use monthly retainers:
Specialized design work, such as product or technical design, comes at a higher cost:
Most graphic design projects include a limited number of revision rounds, usually one to three, built into the original price.
These revisions include small adjustments, such as tweaking text, colors, or layout details. They help refine the design, not change the concept entirely.
If you request more rounds or major changes after that, designers typically charge extra, often using their hourly rate.
Most graphic design projects take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on the type of work and its complexity.
The timeline also depends on how clear your brief is and how fast you give feedback. Most timelines already include up to three rounds of revisions, so delays usually happen when feedback is slow or the scope keeps changing.
Graphic design firms deliver files in different formats, so you can use the designs across print and digital channels without issues.
They usually provide two main types of files:
Vector files (scalable and editable) are used for logos and brand assets because they can be resized without losing quality:
Raster files (pixel-based) are used for photos and digital visuals where exact detail matters:
Some projects also include working files, such as PSDs for Photoshop designs or GIFs for simple animations.
All files are usually organized, so you can easily use them for websites, social media, or print materials without extra adjustments.
You can edit graphic design files only if the agency provides editable formats and gives you the right to use them. In most cases, agencies deliver final files that are ready to use but not easy to change. Editable working files are often shared only if agreed upon in advance.
Files you can edit (if you have the right software):
Files that are suitable for use, not editing, include:
Graphic design companies limit the availability of editable files for practical reasons. Some assets, like fonts or images, are licensed and cannot be transferred. Working files also reflect the designer’s internal process, so the agency doesn’t always include them.
If you need full control, you must define that requirement early. Ask for working files or specific formats in the contract. Otherwise, you will need the original graphic designers to make future changes.
By default, the graphic design agency retains copyright until it transfers it to the client under a contract.
In most cases, ownership depends on what is agreed upon in writing:
Even when ownership is transferred, some elements may still be restricted. Fonts, stock images, or third-party assets often come with their own licenses.
Without a clear contract, graphic design studios usually retain control, and clients have only limited usage rights.
