      Branding Review from Spencer Ricks

      We worked with Big Red Jelly for the rebranding for BoxHouse. Joshua Lee worked with us for several weeks, starting with brand research all the way to a completely new logo, brand identity, and branding guide. Joshua stayed with the project, even though there was a lot of pushback and hesitancy from stakeholders on the direction to go in, partly because the old brand identity had so much equity. Joshua was very communicative and was able to explain the science behind branding and why we needed to make a change, which helped get buy-in from leadership. After exploring dozens of different directions the brand identity, we landed on one that just clicked. It was simple, memorable, unique, and also borrowed some elements from the old brand identity, so the rebranding felt more like a natural evolution, rather than a complete rehaul. This was just what BoxHouse needed. We were able to launch a new website and branded materials with the new brand identity, which is helping the company as we enter a new stage of growth. I definitely recommend working with the Big Red Jelly team! During the entire rebranding process, they really operated as an extension of our team, and was great at listening and taking feedback, while also challenging us just a bit so we could land on something that we didn't know we needed at the beginning.

      WordPress Website Design Review from Gaston Magrinat

      The team is personable. The visual design is professional. When the engagement was going smoothly, communication was responsive and the relationship was positive. That is the full extent of what I can recommend.$16,610 paid across a website build and eight-month SEO programme. When the structural failures emerged commercial content hidden from search engines from day one, a broken contact form for four months, core deliverables marked complete in their own system that had never been done the pattern became consistent and never changed. Friendly responses. Reassurance. Deferral. Not in scope. Next month.When I submitted a formal nine-section evidence package drawn from BRJ's own contracts and internal records, their response was to propose continuing the retainer at $995 per month to complete the outstanding contracted work. Every item in that proposal was already in the original contract. That proposal was their own written admission that eight months of billing had not delivered what was contracted.When I declined and requested a refund, their formal written response claimed the Scope of Work was fully executed. Their own internal documents list the same deliverables as outstanding in April 2026 that were marked complete throughout the engagement. Both documents are BRJ's. Both cannot be true.Not one specific failure was acknowledged. Not one item of evidence was addressed.Mistakes happen in every agency engagement. What defines an agency is what they do when mistakes are documented and presented. This agency's answer across every avenue, verbal and written was to engage with none of it.Before signing, ask specifically what accountability looks like when contracted work is not delivered. That answer matters more than anything in the sales process.

      We brought in Creative Brand Design to support the launch of a new sub-brand and they delivered exactly what we were after a visually engaging, well-structured site thats helped us make a confident move into a new area of the market. Communication was clear, timelines were kept to, and they were easy to deal with throughout. A little more structure around the CMS handover wouldve been helpful, but support was there when needed. Would happily recommend.

      Branding Review from Undisclosed

      I knew something had to be done with my brand and online presence, but I didn't know where to focus. Thebestreputation put all the pieces together. They took the time to understand who I wanted my target audience to be. Together, we built a new brand identity and website, creating a strong online presence. I found their approach of testing different brand ideas to find the most effective one to be incredibly helpful. They won an award for design excellence in the branding work they have done for us-completely unanticipated and an added bonus for all.

      After my first consultation, I was convinced they would help me fix the reputation of my business and help us get more visibility, which they did. I never knew the impact a bad reputation would have on a business until I experienced one. They helped us with a lot of promotional content and lots of link-building that was very effective. keep the good work going.

      Video Marketing Review from Scott Lepkofker

      We've been partners with Forge Apollo for nearly three years, and they have been an incredible extension of our team. From incredible creative and high-quality production to pitch development, thought leadership, and strategic introductions, they consistently bring a level of expertise, creativity, and commitment that is hard to find in a partner. What I appreciate most is that they genuinely operate like a partner rather than a vendor. They take the time to understand our business, our clients, and what were trying to accomplish, and they are always willing to go the extra mile to help us succeed. Their creative work is consistently impressive, and their production capabilities allow us to bring big ideas to life at a very high level. They also have some impressive proprietary technology that gives them a unique point of differentiation and adds another layer of value to what they bring to the table. Ryan Holloway, the CEO, deserves a special mention. He is extremely hands-on and engaged, and I never feel like Im being passed off to someone else once the relationship is established. Ryan is accessible, thoughtful, and personally invested in the success of our partnership. Over the past three years, Forge Apollo has helped us elevate our pitches, strengthen our thought leadership, expand our network, and ultimately present a stronger version of our business to the market. Theyre the type of partner that rolls up their sleeves, gets in the trenches with you, and genuinely cares about the outcome. I would highly recommend Forge Apollo to any organization looking for a creative partner that brings together great people, incredible creative, strong production, and innovative technology.

      Video Marketing Review from Jessica Farren

      I cannot say enough good things about this company. Had a great experience working with them on several projects for our company, ASD, this year. As a funeral home answering service, we needed to take our marketing to the next level in a way that not only showcased our company's innovation but also exemplified our client-centric approach to business. Forge Apollo not only met but exceeded our expectations, delivering a website that perfectly encapsulates our values. Their attention to detail, creativity, and commitment to understanding our unique needs made the entire process seamless. Additionally, Forge Apollo showcased their prowess in video marketing by creating captivating videos for ASD. These videos highlighted our company's comprehensive solutions and featured insightful interviews with current clients and heartfelt conversations with our staff. The team at Forge Apollo proved to be a pleasure to work with, demonstrating a perfect blend of professionalism and creativity. Their responsiveness to client needs and ability to execute on diverse goals make them an invaluable partner. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Forge Apollo to anyone seeking a dedicated and talented team for their web design and marketing needs.

I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier video production or creative content support.

What is the difference between a branding agency and a design firm?

An agency defines how your brand works and what it stands for, while a design firm focuses on creating and implementing specific design solutions. 

Aspect Branding Agency Design Firm 
Core focus Defines the brand and its long-term direction Designs solutions that communicate and deliver the brand 
Main goal Build a clear, competitive brand Create effective, usable, and consistent designs 
Strategy Deep strategic work, such as positioning, messaging, and brand structure Uses a strategy to guide design decisions and execution 
Type of work Brand strategy, naming, brand voice, brand guidelines Visual identity, UX/UI, websites, packaging, product design 
Business impact Shapes how customers perceive and remember the company Shapes how customers interact with and use the company’s products and materials 
Stage they help most Early stage, rebranding, or major business changes After or alongside the strategy, during product and asset creation 
Outcome A defined brand system and clear brand direction Designed assets, interfaces, and experiences ready for use 

Branding companies develop positioning, messaging, naming, brand architecture, and the overall system that guides how the brand operates and grows. They connect business goals to customer perception.

Design firms solve communication and product problems through design. This includes visual identity, but also user experience, interfaces, packaging, and digital products. Their work translates strategy into functional, usable, and consistent brand and product experiences. 

Why should I hire branding companies instead of freelancers?

Hire a branding company when you need strategy, depth, and long-term brand systems, not just individual deliverables. 

Branding firms provide a full team with specialists in strategy, naming, design, and research. This leads to stronger positioning, more consistent execution, and work that supports business growth.

Freelancers usually work alone and focus on specific tasks such as logo design or visual identity. They are effective for smaller projects but have limited capacity for complex strategy, research, and large-scale brand development.

Isn't branding just a logo?

Branding is the entire system that defines how customers perceive your business in the market, not just the logo.

It includes your positioning, messaging, voice, visual identity, and the experience people have with your company. These elements work together to build recognition, trust, and differentiation.

The logo is one asset within that system. It represents the brand, but it does not define the strategy, meaning, or customer perception on its own.
