I reached out to Online Optimism to update my website and tell the story of my family history in the New Orleans area and how I have been involved in this history as a Real Estate Broker early on in my career. I needed a web site to show that LaNasa Realty does all aspects of Real Estate from Commercial Sales and Leasing to Residential Sales, and Rentals. Short term rentals have become very popular in New Orleans.

      Branding Review from Elyssa Katz

      The Outright team is an absolute joy to work with! They took us from a kernel of a brand identity to a fully realized brand, merging two organizations, cultures, and constituencies into one under significant time constraints. Since we began working with Outright in August of 2024, we have developed and launched our core brand and related assets as well as three event brands, three sub brands, and a variety of practical digital and print assets. Not only is Outright's creative consistently excellent, but they are also a practical partner able to work with agility as an extension of your team. Our experience was so positive in initial brand development work that we've continued to work together for over 18 months and have signed them as a partner for separate digital campaign projects where they again delivered results that accomplished our internal team goals and exceeded the expectations of our external stakeholders. I would recommend Outright to anyone looking for a true creative thought partner.

      I can count on one hand the number of companies Ive worked with in my career that possess the same level of dedication, responsiveness, attention to detail, and trustworthiness as that of an internal team and thats because theres only one: Handbook.First and foremost, Id like to say that if you're considering working with Handbook for your design and/or website development needs, you absolutely will not regret it. The Handbook team goes beyond simply executing our requests, which has not only been refreshing but has also been key to our growth as an online SaaS business.Handbook genuinely cares about our user experience, website performance, and broader business goals. Instead of just implementing what we ask for, they actively evaluate our needs and offer thoughtful recommendations to improve our outcomes.In addition to the quality of work and forward-thinking perspective, we know that we can count on Handbook to be there when we need them. From countless late-night sale asset takedowns to weekend staging QAs so we can feel confident about Monday morning launches, I have never experienced this level of communication and dedication from a company.I would recommend Handbook time and time again to absolutely anyone in need of web development, design, or messaging support. These guys are a rare find and your only regret will be that you didn't start working with them sooner.

      Straight North was an excellent partner in the redesign and launch of our new company website. Their team took the time to understand our business, our goals, and the complexity of our products, and translated that into a clean, modern, and highly functional site.Communication was consistent and clear throughout the process, timelines were met, and they were extremely responsive to feedback and revisions. We appreciated their strategic guidance as much as their design and technical expertise. The end result is a website we’re proud of and one that better represents our brand and capabilities. We would highly recommend Straight North to any company looking for a thoughtful, professional web design partner.

      Working with Straight North was an incredible experience from start to finish! When I started looking for web designers, I narrowed it down to four companies, and Straight North was the only one who really took the time to get to know me, our business, and why our goals matter. That personal connection made all the difference.Once we got started, I was blown away by the thought and detail that went into every part of the process. What stood out the most was how open and receptive the team was to my feedback. I truly felt like a part of the process, not just another customer.Our new website is absolutely stunning and perfectly captures who we are and what our brand stands for. I couldn’t be happier with the finished website or with the experience of working with Straight North.Building a great website is truly a collaborative effort, and I’ve learned that the more you put in, the more you get out. I encourage anyone working with Straight North, or any design team to be open, share your vision, and really take the time to engage in the process. The result will be worth it, I promise!Thank you, Straight North, for an amazing experience and a website that we’re so proud of!

      IndieTech Solutions was an absolute pleasure to work with. Their kindness created a welcoming and supportive environment from the very first day our teams met. Their professionalism was exceptional, with prompt responses, rigorous attention to detail, and a commitment to understanding and translating our vision into stunning web designs.What truly set them apart was their flexibility. Despite our shifting needs and demanding requests, they accommodated everything with grace, adjusting their workflows to meet our timeline changes and evolving project scope. Their team spirit was admirable. From project managers to developers and designers, their collaboration was seamless. Most notably, they are specialized in non-profits. They understood our unique challenges and tailored their designs and solutions accordingly. Their expertise in supporting causes like ours went beyond technical expertise; it was a value-sharing partnership, which we enjoyed very much.We highly recommend ITS to any organization or individuals seeking website development services, especially non-profits.

      Working with Warschawski has been a complete game changer for our brand! My wife and I own a vegan food startup, and we hired the firm for email marketing management. I cannot say enough about the level of professionalism and dedication Anthony (Director of Email Marketing) and his team displayed when it came to setting up our email automations. From day one there was a feeling that the team really GOT us. They understood not only who we are as a brand, but also who we were targeting, and spoke to them in a language that matched our brand voice to a tee. Highly recommend this agency!

      One of the absolute best places to work! Warschawski does it all from digital advertising, SEO/SEM, and email marketing to branding, PR, design and more. It's a great place to grow your career as there's always something new to learn, no matter what your expertise. Everyone here truly loves what they do and you can tell they care about both their customers and employees on a personal level. I would highly recommend Warschawski to anyone looking for the next step in their career!

      Sharing our students' incredible stories is crucial to connecting with more people with mobility challenges who could benefit from our TangoStride Program. The team at RH Strategic took an interest in our mission and generously offered to spread the word pro bono. They pitched our story to just the right people, and landed us two local media stories with major news channels Q13 Fox and KING 5! Not only were they instrumental in our outreach to the Greater Seattle community, but they were extremely knowledgeable about the media process and their guidance was invaluable. Thank you, RH Strategic for helping us help people "Dance to Walk" with TangoStride!

      Whether you are struggling to book podcast appearances with a service, you've tried the DIY route, or you're just starting out on your podcast guesting journey, cut out the BS and sign up with Heartcast. Molly and her team are fast, professional, efficient, and a blast to work with. I tried other avenues to get my clients booked on shows and was feeling burnt out and defeated by the incessant grind with miniscule ROI. Heartcast has made getting them on top-quality shows an easy—dare I say, pleasant—experience. I will use Heartcast for all of my clients moving forward, and you should too!

All of our support tickets requesting updates or changes to our website are responded to in an impressively quick manner. And, as cost is always a factor in the nonprofit world, we feel it is very affordable and worth every penny.

      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.

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.
