I've had the pleasure of working with Motion as both colleague and client. As a colleague I was referred to them for a number of my CEO clients. The high-level coverage they were able to secure was very instrumental in significantly raising the profile of those clients and helping them attract the opportunities they were after. As a client, Motion was able to quickly and innovatively operationalize a successful social giving program to fund a scholarship I started as part of the launch for my new novel. The response was terrific for book awareness and quickly became fully funded. The agency is highly responsive, the staff skilled and engaging. Terrific client service.

Roberto Aponte's Review Sourced from Google
I am thoroughly pleased with your companies ability to deliver an exceptional working relationship that has lead to an eloquently executed client experience. Isadora Digital Agency took a much-needed concierge approach to our relationship and helped us define our goals as well as align the expectations of the officers of our company. Our needs and vision were sophisticated but you helped us to achieve our vision through a multitude of legal and compliance challenges while still creating a warm and textured environment for our clients to engage with us. There have been multiple occasions the agency has gone exceptionally above and beyond to make this project a success – had we partnered with some of the other 9 design companies we were engaged with, I don’t feel confident that they would have provided the white glove service that we received from your firm. Let me summarize: Isadora delivers enterprise style service and results with the client engagement and human interaction of a boutique firm.

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.

We have just launched a fresh new version of our program website and could not be happier with the web design + development by the team at Massive. From start to finish, Lucy our project manager was there to link us to the work of the rest of her team. Our questions were addressed in a timely manner and the folks at Massive also extended internal deadlines to meet our needs. We really felt heard, and appreciated the time the team took to learn about us and our work, they made it very safe for us to “hand over the keys”. The whole design process was a great experience for our team and together we built a site that exceeded our expectations.

Mary Pratt's Review Sourced from Google
Dawn and her team are absolute powerhouses. They bring serious brainpower to all the complex digital areas I don’t fully understand—and they make it feel effortless. What sets them apart is how they build solid digital foundations: not just making things look good, but ensuring everything under the hood works to drive performance. There’s no point in having a pretty website if there are no mechanics beneath it—and that’s where they shine. Strategic, smart, and standout in every way!

Jill Marshall Gould's Review Sourced from Google
I was very excited to find a Rochester agency that could build my brand and website when starting my company. I had met with a number of different website developers, graphic designers, programmers from all over the world. As a solo entrepreneur, I would have been managing 2-3 people to build out the branding and website. Instead, Brandmint’s team worked to build the brand and I only had to manage/communicate my vision to them. They are an agency that I can grow into their full suite of services. It saves me time having a one stop shop. The Brandmint team is an incredible local asset and I am excited to work with them on future projects.

Holt Group Inc.'s Review Sourced from Google
Watson has been a key strategic partner for us on the creative and brand side since the beginning. We've worked with various members across the team and every member of their staff brings excellence and authentic passion to what they do. They have consistently delivered an end product that excites our customers, adding special creative touches along the way so that the results really sing. The way they're able to translate our vision and mission into deliverables across each project has been a weight off our shoulders. Not every creative agency is able to understand the nuances of our industry and we've been so impressed with the time team Watson has taken to really get to know our industry in homebuilding. We've worked with Watson on deliverables such as high level creative direction, but also getting into the nitty gritty of developing content around our warranty program. This was a huge task and they matched us with exactly the right team members to bring it to life who truly cared about getting it right. They're great friends as much as they are our business partners. We highly recommend partnering with Watson Creative.
S Nash Review from Google

S Nash's Review Sourced from Google
When we engaged Watson to help us rebrand, we knew it was going to be a challenging process. We had a long-standing reputation as a respected law firm in Portland, but we wanted our brand to reflect our unique culture and the innovative approach we bring to our clients. Watson's team was thorough and thoughtful throughout the entire process, from primary research interviews with our team to the final custom, hand-drawn identity system. The end result was a brand that not only represents who we are as a firm but also sets us apart from our competitors. We continue to receive compliments on our branding years later, and we credit Watson for helping us achieve that success.

A brand strategy agency specializes in positioning a company and its products in niche markets to create a positive impression on target customers. In doing so, it improves brand recognition, credibility, and loyalty.
Brand strategy is critical because 88% of consumers find authenticity a key factor when deciding which brands they support. Additionally, businesses with consistent branding report a revenue growth of up to 20%.
Creating a successful brand strategy has unique challenges and difficulties, including:
Audience perception: Businesses need extensive market research and analysis to develop a brand strategy that resonates strongly with audiences.
Competitive Landscape: Differentiating your business in a crowded marketplace is a constant challenge, requiring an innovative brand strategy and a compelling unique selling proposition (USP).
Consistency across channels: Maintaining consistent messaging and branding across various offline and online platforms is crucial for building credibility and powerful brand recall.
Staying relevant: Brands must continually adapt to changing market trends, consumer preferences, and cultural shifts to remain relevant and appeal to their target audience.
Managing brand reputation: With the rise of social media and online reviews, brands need to actively manage their reputation, swiftly addressing negative feedback or crises that may arise.
Globalization: Brands operating in multiple markets must consider cultural nuances and regional preferences to ensure their messaging resonates effectively.
Here’s a case study to illustrate these points. MIND GAMES is a luxury fragrance line that aims to empower customers by reminding them of a time they conquered a challenge or competition. However, the company had a fragmented brand identity and no website, so it hired the brand strategy firm Lounge Lizard.
Lounge Lizard developed a consistent brand story and identity and used these to build a customized eCommerce website for the client. It told the story of each product, created videos and animations, implemented search engine optimization (SEO) strategies, and planned for the brand’s future growth.
Within a month, MIND GAMES recorded 6,200 new users, increased engagement by 93%, and saw a 13% new user growth week-over-week.
What do brand strategy companies do?
A brand strategy company develops and implements customized marketing and advertising strategies to establish a business in a specific market. This includes understanding the business’s unique needs and goals, creating a brand identity and message, and helping define its unique selling proposition (USP).
The various services of a brand strategy firm include the following:
Brand audit
Market research
Visual identity design
Brand strategy development
Brand positioning
Rebranding
Brand launch
Omnichannel marketing
Branded campaigns and promotions
Brand workshop
Advertising campaigns
How much do brand strategy services cost?
Brand strategy services cost $15,500 minimum for a campaign. The top 50 brand strategy agencies on DesignRush charge an average hourly rate of $142. 21.8% of the agencies accept a minimum project rate of $1,000, and 2.2% accept at least $50,000.
The price can increase if you add brand launch, content marketing, advertising campaign, social media marketing, and other services to your brand strategy package.
Why should I hire a brand strategy agency?
You should hire a brand strategy agency because they have the experience and expertise to effectively position your brand in niche markets, improve customer relationships, and drive long-term business growth. They also have the tools and technology to deliver data-driven insights for your brand.
Leverage branding expertise and experience: Brand strategy firms have the skill and knowledge to develop a unique brand identity, effectively position it in the market, and drive awareness and equity.
Be unforgettable: Stories are 22 times more memorable than facts or statistics. As experts, brand strategy companies are well-versed in telling a brand’s story to ensure it engages target audiences.
Improve customer relationships:66% of consumers value a brand’s trustworthiness, and 30% say they would not use the product of a brand they don’t trust. Aside from creating content and graphics that resonate with target customers, brand strategy agencies include trust markers to improve customer relationships and establish credibility. These include using customer reviews, testimonies, and awards in campaign materials.
Position your business for long-term growth: The world’s top 100 brands have increased their aggregate value by 22% in the past year, totaling $8.7 trillion. Brand strategy firms plan for the long term to ensure your brand remains relevant and at the top of your customer’s minds.
Gain measurable results: Being data-driven is a must for brand strategy agencies. They use data and analytics to understand what’s working and what isn’t and adjust their strategies accordingly to deliver optimal results.
A case study demonstrating the benefits of hiring a brand strategy agency is when Unison Infrastructure worked with Digital Silk. Unison Infrastructure had numerous subsidiaries across Europe and the U.S., but its branding and messaging were inconsistent. Because of this, it had poor brand recognition and target audiences and potential employees could not differentiate it from its competitors.
Digital Silk created a strategic roadmap, aligning Unison Infrastructure’s brand identity with its goals and market positioning. The brand strategy agency also created a branding deck, unified brand architecture, and a new logo that connected the main brand with its subsidiaries.
Within six months, Unison Infrastructure enhanced brand visibility by 11.76%, increased retention rates by 146.91%, and improved user experience (UX) by 26.29%.
How do I choose the best brand strategy firm?
You can choose the best brand strategy firm that meets your needs by following these steps:
Define your business needs: Do you need a brand strategy to launch or push a particular product or for the entire business? Outline your vision for your brand, your ideal target customers, specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals, budget, and timeline.
Conduct market research: Know your customer’s preferences and see how competing businesses brand themselves. Create a list of dos and don’ts for your own brand strategy and collect campaign examples that you want to emulate.
Search for potential partners: Look at online rankings, articles, and marketing directories for potential brand strategy firms. Focus on those with relevant experience in your industry and have handled your target customers.
Consider the type of service you want: Some brand strategy companies are more research-oriented, while others are design-focused. Shortlist agencies that will provide your required services and align with your goals and vision.
Think about agency size: A boutique agency can be more affordable and flexible. In contrast, a big brand strategy firm can provide more comprehensive branding and marketing services.
Review their credentials: Check client testimonials, online reviews, case studies, portfolio, and awards and recognitions to gain insight into their approach, work ethic, and proven experience. Prioritize those with a clear process and deliver measurable results.
Send a request for proposal (RFP): Outline your project requirements to your shortlisted brand strategy agencies. See if their response demonstrates a clear understanding of your brand and what you need.
Schedule an interview: Ask questions about the expertise and experience of the agency and how well they understand your industry and branding vision. Prioritize agencies that align with your values and show that they are invested in your brand’s success.
Understand their communication style: Observe if the agency responds to your inquiries quickly, values your input, encourages collaboration, and takes time to understand your needs and wants. Because you are building your brand together, you should choose an agency that acts like a true partner.
Choose your agency: Once decided, contact the brand strategy agency and discuss project details, contract terms, and payment plans.
