      Mobile App Development Review from Rob Dawson

      We originally worked with another app agency, but weren't happy with them so we found Inspire Visual. The difference in communication and professionalism were remarkable. With Inspire Visual we received concise milestones with explanations of each phase. They build an iOS and Android app for us and we left it to them to choose the technology (React Native). They have a strong team so we felt comfortable the entire development cycle and ended up with a great hybrid app.

      Mobile App Development Review from Richard Wilson

      We originally asked Inspire Visual for help with our website and it turned out to be a successful partnership. When we decided to have an app built, we didn't have to look elsewhere for an agency. They were very detail-oriented and talked us through the process knowing we had absolutely no experience with app development. Our project manager was checking in with us regularly. Needless to say, since the app was completed, we've only heard rave reviews from everyone who has used it.

      Mobile App Development Review from Jessica Reiner

      They were one out of a handful of other vendors we considered during the RFP process. What set Inspire Visual apart was their customer service, attention to detail and their portfolio of previous work. They built a custom team for us with a dedicated project management contact assigned, as well as a team of designers, coders and QA experts. Inspire Visual was more creative and flexible than we have previous experienced and changes happened faster than when we've worked with large agencies.

      Working with Vicarel Studio is always such a good time. We came to them for branding and walked away with work that felt next level. The vibe? Professional but never stiff. Creative but still totally strategic. They just got us — and brought our vision to life in a way that felt fresh, elevated, and super aligned. If you’re looking for a team that delivers killer artwork and knows how to make the process feel easy (and fun), Vicarel Studio is the one. 10/10 would do it all over again.

      We engaged RocketFuel on a sizeable marketing project that is listed as a case study on their website.After some time working together, we had prepaid some TV and radio advertisements. After a few months of poor performance, we decided to terminate the relationship.At the time of termination, RocketFuel acknowledged the prepaid funds as a debt to us. After almost a year of submitting it to colections and attorneys, we have still been unable to collect the bad debt.We held off from posting this publicly for a year, but want others to be aware as we have not progressed in the collection.

      I have worked with other design studios and, frankly, have never done so without frustration – sometimes a lot of frustration. PetersenWest is different. They truly are. John has assembles a team that is both talented and professional. They are not afraid to openly resist my bad ideas. And, they truly listen. John Petersen is a collaborator on nearly every new project we have. I trust his insight and love his restraint in helping to vet my new ideas. Our business group has worked with PetersenWest on multiple projects with vastly different needs and they never disappoint. We have stopped shopping around since finding them. Without question, they have become our “go-to” people.

Our experience with Corey as the lead designer and brand strategist stretches over a decade and includes the very early concept design, branding and website development for our holiday accommodation business, and then a complete re-branding and upgrading of our brand presence as our business graduated into the 'pro-league' of luxury accommodation providers, some years later. We will keep coming back for more as we just love working with these guys!

Print Design Agency FAQs

What is a print design agency?

A print design agency is an agency that crafts visual materials specifically designed for physical printing. Its work focuses on amplifying a brand identity by designing the client’s end products that will be printed. These agencies often operate as a one-stop shop for all print design needs, from initial concept development to final output delivery.  

Print design is often confused with printing itself, as clients usually expect these two services to go hand in hand. Although some print design agencies offer both customarily, this is not always the case, as the printing process is another discipline altogether. 

How does a print design agency help brands with physical brand assets?

A print design agency helps brands with physical brand assets by handling all creative and technical aspects pertaining to the printing. Its process typically commences with defining a concept that corresponds with the brand’s philosophy, objective, and target audience.  

Guided by the concept, the team then prepares high-quality visuals, including illustrations, typography, and photography integration, to bring the idea to fruition. Once the visuals are approved, it handles the technical aspects of preparing the design files for printing and making sure they meet printing requirements.  

Which businesses see the most value from professional print design?

Businesses that rely heavily on a physical presence and tangible materials to connect with their audience see the most value from professional print design. This includes entities across retail, real estate, and hospitality, which use items like branded packaging, signage, and brochures.  

Additionally, businesses that produce custom apparel, such as t-shirts and hoodies, or specialize in personalized products like photo books and invitations, also benefit immensely from high-quality print design to differentiate their offerings and capture attention.

How long does it typically take to receive initial concepts or drafts from a print design agency?

The typical timeline for receiving initial concepts or drafts from a print design agency varies, but it's directly tied to the project's scope and the agency's workload.  

For a simple project like a business card or flyer, you might see initial drafts within a few days to a week. However, for larger projects like packaging or a full branding suite, this phase can take two to three weeks, as it requires more in-depth research and strategic development.  

What should you look for when hiring a print design agency?

When hiring a print design agency, begin by thoroughly reviewing their portfolio to see if their aesthetic and expertise align with your brand's vision, while paying attention to the variety and quality of their past work. Beyond the visuals, ask for client testimonials or case studies to gauge their communication skills and reliability. You should also confirm that they have specific experience with the type of physical assets you need, like packaging or signage. 

What red flags should you watch out for when choosing a print design partner?

When selecting a print design partner, be wary of red flags like a lack of a professional portfolio or negative client testimonials. Avoid agencies that are unresponsive, communicate poorly, or make unrealistic promises about turnaround times or pricing. Additionally, it's a major red flag if they don't seem knowledgeable about the technical aspects of printing, as this can lead to costly errors and a subpar final product. 

What questions should you ask a print design agency before signing a contract?

Before signing a contract with a print design agency, here are some key questions you should ask to ensure the candidate is a good fit for your project: 

  1. What designs have you worked on in the same industry as ours?  
  2. How would you define your team’s art style?  
  3. What is your timeline for a print design project from conceptualization to final presentation?  
  4. What services are included in your pricing?  
  5. Will you designate a team for our project, or will an individual designer handle it?  
  6. Are the designs original or based on stock art or templates?  
  7. Who will be our point of contact on your team?  
  8. How many rounds of revisions are included in your fees?  
  9. What is your approval process for the final design? 
  10. Can you connect me with trusted suppliers if you don’t provide in-house printing services? 

How does working with a print design agency differ from DIY tools or freelancers?

A print design agency typically handles prepress checks, color calibration, and communicates directly with printers, so you’re less likely to waste money on reprints or mismatched colors. Freelancers may produce strong designs but often leave you to manage print vendors yourself, while DIY tools often rely on pre-designed templates, which can result in a lack of originality and make your brand look generic.  

If your project involves large runs, specialty finishes (like foil or embossing), or brand consistency across many assets, an agency saves you costly trial-and-error, whereas freelancers or DIY work better for simple, one-off materials. 

Which design tools, production techniques, and vendor networks do top print agencies use?

Top print agencies rely on the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, using Illustrator for vector logos, InDesign for multi-page layouts like brochures, and Photoshop for image editing. For production, they often choose between digital printing for quick, low-volume runs and offset printing for superior quality on large orders.  

These agencies also have a network of trusted printers and vendors, which allows them to recommend specialized techniques like embossing, letterpress, or die-cutting and manage the entire production process to guarantee a high-quality final product.
