Kirsten AD's Review Sourced from Google
I've enjoyed working with Artisan both on internal projects and being placed with clients through them. While they don't see the same number of roles as some of the bigger companies, they do tend to get jobs with higher pay rates than some of the other staffing agencies - and definitely advocate for the talent when it comes to dealing with clients. I would definitely recommend getting in touch if you're looking for work in a digital/creative role.

Nancy Antol's Review Sourced from Google
I worked for Artisan as a Contract Copywriter for more than three years. The team did an excellent job finding me a contract with an outstanding company. In addition to a great placement, Artisan provided me with very good benefits, including 401K and some paid time off, which is unusual in the industry. I highly recommend Artisan to anyone who is looking for contract work.

In a world of agencies that are mostly out for a quick buck, they build relationships on both the client and talent side. It is a refreshing change of pace to see such integrity. They are fair and honest people that I worked with for years. If you are looking for talent, or have a talent, I can not recommend them more.

Five stars. We had a trailer wrapped here about 10 to 12 years ago and came back because the quality held up and the pricing is still very affordable.

I’m a business teacher, and I needed a textbook that covered everything. I thought about writing one myself, but it was way too much work. So, I reached out to people at Lynx. They suggested rewriting my old notes, and I wasn’t sure about it at first. But they convinced me, and the final book turned out awesome. They did a great job and finished it really fast.

If you told me a year ago we’d be getting this many high-quality new clients in the door, I wouldn’t have believed you. The other digital marketing firms we’ve worked with in the past have underdelivered, but not Social Firm.They’ve fine-tuned our messaging, strengthened our online presence, put us in front of the right people at the right time, and since working with them, we’ve seen a steady, increasing flow of qualified prospective clients who actually want to work with us.If you’re in a trust-based industry like ours, you need a marketing partner that understands how to attract serious clients. The Social Firm nailed it. Their work makes my job easier - and fuels our firm’s growth.

Adam Koos's Review Sourced from Google
Tired of trying to understand what SEO and SEM are, how they benefit you, and if they even work? Looking for a team of people who will not only educate you and “get the job done,” but a team that takes the time to educate you, understand your business, and provide you with only the marketing you NEED?I’ve worked with three different digital marketing firms over the years, but none have come close to the level of strategy, execution, and sheer commitment that Social Firm brings to the table. They don’t just throw cookie-cutter solutions at you and hope something sticks. Instead, they take the time to understand your brand, your audience, and your goals - then they build a plan that actually works, all while tracking KPIs and adjusting your marketing strategy along the way.From web design and branding to SEO and SEM, every project they touch is handled with precision, creativity, and a level of care that’s honestly hard to find in this space. The team is insanely responsive, ridiculously knowledgeable, and they’re just flat-out good people.So, if you’re on the fence about hiring a digital marketing firm, let this be a review that instills trust. You won’t regret it. They’re not just another digital marketing agency. Quite frankly, they’re one of the best investments I’ve ever made in my business.

Reviews verified by DesignRush and sourced from the agency's profile View All Reviews
Logo design usually costs between $1,000 to $2,500
Website design ranges from $5,000 to $200,000
Brochures or social assets often fall between $500 and $2,500+
Packaging design ranges from $300 to $50,000
Full branding projects typically cost $16,000 to $63,000
For ongoing work, many graphic design companies use monthly retainers:
Basic support starts between $500 and $1,000
Mid-level support ranges from $1,000 and $3,000
More advanced, high-volume design work costs $3,000 to $5,000+ per month
Specialized design work, such as product or technical design, comes at a higher cost:
Mechanical design projects range from $5,000 to $10,000
Prototyping starts at $2,000 and increases based on complexity
How many revisions do graphic design projects typically include?
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.
What is the typical turnaround time for graphic design firms?
Most graphic design projects take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on the type of work and its complexity.
Simple assets, such as social media graphics or ads, are completed in 1 to 6 days.
Print materials such as brochures often take around 5 to 12 days.
Larger projects, such as web or app design, can take up to 6 weeks.
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.
What file formats do graphic design agencies deliver?
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:
AI: The original working file, fully editable
EPS: Standard format for professional printing
SVG: Used for websites and digital interfaces
PDF: Ready for sharing or printing final designs
Raster files (pixel-based) are used for photos and digital visuals where exact detail matters:
PNG: High quality with a transparent background
JPG/JPEG: Smaller files, best for web and previews
TIFF: Large, high-quality files for print
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.
Can you edit the files that graphic design firms deliver?
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):
AI, EPS, SVG: You can edit logos, shapes, and layouts
PSD, INDD: You can edit text, images, and layers
Canva files: You can edit directly in the browser
Editable PDFs: You can make basic text or image changes
Files that are suitable for use, not editing, include:
JPG, PNG: You cannot change text or layout
Flattened PDFs: Elements are locked into one layer
Outlined text files: Text becomes shapes and cannot be edited
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.
Who owns the copyright: a graphic design agency or a client?
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:
Full ownership transfer: The client gets full copyright and can use, edit, and distribute the design without limits.
License-only: The agency retains copyright, and the client receives permission to use the design under specific terms (e.g., limited use or channels).
Partial rights: The client can use the design, but the agency retains certain rights, including the right to use it in its portfolio.
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.
