How to choose a branding agency
- Set the brief: Decide whether you need strategy, research, naming, identity, guidelines, communications, digital work or a combination.
- Match services to tasks: Compare each agency’s documented offer with the deliverables you need. Ask what is included and how related services fit together.
- Consider location: Decide whether you prefer an agency with a London address or are comfortable with London service coverage from outside the city.
- Ask practical questions: Confirm scope, team availability, timing and deliverables with each agency before shortlisting.
- Request comparable quotes: Pricing is not listed here. Request a quote and compare what each proposal covers rather than assuming the services are equivalent.
