      Design Services Review from Solyman Najimi

      We worked with the folks at SmashBrand in 2025 for logo and artwork updates for our top product. They were able to take an analytical approach and output--through much testing and a thorough revision process--superior graphics and concepts for our product packaging and overall company branding. We have modernized and streamlined our look and feel with the help of SmashBrand. Early feedback has been positive. We hope the long-term impact will be great.

      Brand Strategy Review from Rob Johnson

      I’ve worked with dozens of design and strategy agencies throughout my career and SmashBrand’s approach is completely unique. They take a quantitative approach to packaging that aligns the most important purchase drivers with the consumer target, and designs around those. They have absolutely transformed our business and are always my first call when I have brand strategy needs.

      Jeff Yelton's Review Sourced from Google

      I’ve worked with Jami Mullikin for over 20 years, so when I retired and decided to launch my consulting firm, Cphere, choosing Wonder was an easy decision. That said, familiarity alone doesn’t earn a recommendation. Performance does. Jami and the Wonder team helped me do the hard work most founders avoid like clearly defining my value proposition, sharpening my positioning, and translating decades of experience into a brand that actually communicates what the firm does and who we help. They built the Cphere brand from the ground up, including the website and content, and did it with a level of discipline and clarity that shows they understand business, not just design. What stood out most was their ability to challenge my thinking in the right ways. They didn’t just take orders. They asked the right questions, pushed for focus, and kept the work grounded in real outcomes using the EOS framework. If you’re a founder or executive who wants a brand that reflects substance, not hype, Wonder delivers. I’d work with them again without hesitation.

      I co-host a small creative meetup here in Greenville called Pixel Pushers with Jami and the Wonder crew. The team brings so much to the event, from setup to marketing and bringing in great speakers. They’ve taken the event from humble beginnings to something established and growing. Great partners all around.

      Jami and the team at Wonder have been great to work with. Both of our organizations run on EOS, so there's a built-in understanding for how we work, and this shows itself in the projects and finished product. The team is filled with talent which I'm reminded of each time I get an unsolicited compliment on our brand.

      RUN AWAY from this company! Supposedly located in California. They sold me a package to design the branding, website, and social media for my company for $1500.00. "EVERYTHING" for $1500.00. Have paid over $6000.00 and I have NO control over the material I paid for. They send you everything in formats you cannot use or convert. They want to keep a hold of you to keep asking for money!!!!!! NEVER send anything to print through them!!! Ordered some business cards and brochures and have never received the brochures. To this day I have not received a single invoice or receipt of anything of what I have paid, including the design of the logo, the purchase of the domain and many other things. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

      I believe this company is a criminal enterprise. They are also known as Creative Company and Sketch Profs. Creative Company made a $2,500 unauthorized withdrawal from my checking account. When I protested the transaction, Uptown Logo Design provided a fake receipt, fake transaction and activity logs and fake emails supporting the charge to my account. It was an elaborate and thorough fraud. I'm sure they've used similar fabricated documents before with other people they've ripped off. I reported them to the FTC and FBI.

      We worked with GROUNDWRK to build our new company website, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Randall and his team were highly involved throughout the entire process and really guided us every step of the way. They brought ideas to the table that we hadn’t even considered, which made the final product stronger than we initially envisioned. Since launching the site last month, we’ve had multiple clients reach out specifically to comment on it, and we’ve seen a noticeable uptick in client inquiries. We’re very happy with the result and would absolutely recommend them.

Their web development is creative, user-friendy, and engaging for each specific audience, and their team is a pleasure to work with on any size project. They are responsive, communicative, eager to help and train on new products and softwares, and generally are a fantastic group to work with.

      Jim Hendrickson's Review Sourced from Google

      Onco has been a client of CMDS for several years and we find that their marketing and SEO knowledge is very valuable. All of the staff we interact with have been willing to take the time to understand our unique business and how we should present our strengths to prospective clients. They never take a cookie cutter approach and instead have been able to help us voice our message clearly and concisely. I would recommend them to any business owner looking for a fresh approach to graphic design and marketing with a unique ability to maximize the benefit of social media campaigns.

They listened to our needs, addressed any questions quickly yet thoroughly, and made great recommendations throughout each phase of the project.

      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.

      I took the leap to join the program, and it is better than expected. A LOT of valuable content that walks you through how to set your entire empire up, step by step. There have been some times I felt like quitting and giving up. BUT, i stuck with it, and all of the pieces are coming together how they should. It speaks to the future you that you want to become when you just grind and focus on building this business with LMA. It is literally the best program I've done. With 1:1 mentorship from people who have actually built an online business before, you can't fail. You can only fail if you choose to give up and walk away. Thanks LMA for this valuable course. It really has helped me transform my thinking about myself and my future. Can't wait to drive that lambo!!

      This would’ve been an amazing venue if there was any ventilation at all, and the entire space wasn’t instantly getting full of smoke from the smoking area. The amount or second hand smoke you’re getting here is insane. Ventilation here is basically “let’s just keep the doors open and get all the smoke back in”.

      Had a really nice evening with some favorite music played. In a different way than I had experienced before, but it was a unique experience overall and one I would certainly consider again in the future. The skill level of the quartet was top notch and together they really produced a rich and magical performance, enhanced by the candlelight that illuminated the stage. It only lasted an hour, but that was enough to fit a lot of crowd-pleasing songs from both ABBA and Queen.

What kind of portfolio should one of these agencies have?

Key elements to look for in a branding agency:

  • Project context: Each case study should explain the client’s industry, business challenges, and goals.
  • Approach & process: Look for a clear narrative of what was done and why, such as research findings or design rationale.
  • Deliverables shown in action: Real examples of the identity applied to websites, packaging, UI, signage, etc.
  • Metrics & results: The best cases highlight measurable impact – e.g. “Unified a fragmented architecture; win-rate up 6 points and sales cycle down 12%.”
  • Before/after comparisons: Side-by-side visuals or messaging evolution with explanations help assess the upgrade’s value.
  • Operational readiness: Check that they deliver usable assets such as real templates with fonts, not just flat mockups, and document styles clearly.

How do agencies measure success in branding?

A branding company in the US measures success by both how the brand is perceived and how it performs in the market:

  • Brand awareness & favorability: Metrics like website traffic, social media followers, mentions, and branded search volume. Consistency drives 10-30% growth in branded search demand.
  • Business impact: Higher win rates, larger deals, better lead conversion, and lower acquisition costs, proven with before-and-after results. For instance, 96% of marketers report that personalized brand experiences increase sales.
  • Adoption & compliance: Internally, they track brand usage, such as the percentage of marketing materials using new guidelines and template usage rates. For example, 85% of organizations have brand guidelines, but only 30% use them.

How do I choose the best branding agencies in the US?

Below are essential steps to guide your decision-making process:

  1. Define your goals for the branding agency
    Clarify what you want to achieve, whether it’s a full brand overhaul or a new product launch. A clear goal makes it easier to evaluate agencies.
  2. Assess your current brand situation
    Review existing assets, messaging, and audience perceptions to identify gaps and determine your needed strategy.
  3. Evaluate industry experience
    Look for agencies with experience in your market to speed up onboarding and ensure familiarity with your target audience.
  4. Examine team structure and seniority
    Ask which team members will work on your account.
  5. Check evidence of results
    Request case studies or examples showing measurable business impact, such as increased awareness, engagement, or revenue.
  6. Consider speed and process
    Assess whether the agency has a mature workflow, clear milestones, and the ability to iterate quickly based on feedback.
  7. Compare pricing and transparency
    Make sure their fees are clear, justified by scope, and fit your budget.
  8. Send a formal RFP
    A good RFP makes it easier to compare agencies objectively, understand their approach, and select the best-fit partner.

Brand refresh focuses on updating what you already have. It usually involves light visual changes like refining the logo or colors, without changing the core brand positioning. 

A full rebrand rethinks the brand from the ground up, including positioning, messaging, and often the name and visual identity. This is typically needed after major business changes like a market shift or a merger.
