Top Design Studios for Advertising & Marketing
The top design studios for Advertising & Marketing are led by Bricx Labs, followed by Ueno and Elephant. 15 of the 120 studios in this directory qualify for this list.
15 of the 120 top design studios in this directory work in Advertising & Marketing. Three of them put Advertising & Marketing at 30% or more, and Ueno leads with 30%. On price, six publish a $25,000 minimum, four start at $10,000, three start at $5,000, and one leaves the floor undisclosed. Team sizes skew boutique: eight list 10 to 49 people on Clutch, five list 50 to 249, and the remaining two sit in other bands.
10 are headquartered in the United States, three in the United Kingdom, and one in South Africa; one does not list an HQ on Clutch. 11 of the 15 carry a Clutch rating; the median is 4.9 across 468 reviews, and the other four have no reviews, so their figures are self-reported only. For a buyer hiring on craft the useful cross-check is the balance of identity and interface work: five of the 15 put branding or graphic design at 20% or more of the mix, eight lead with UX/UI or product design, and nine are boutique at fewer than 50 people.
