Of course not! We offer fixed fee and hourly options. However, our Fractional Creative Services clients gain priority access.

Forage is based in the Toledo, Ohio area. We love our local clients. But we also love our clients in Kentucky, California and places in between.

Project completion is dependent on project scope, as well as existing client relationships. A new flyer or brochure can take a few weeks, while a new brand can take a few months. If we’ve partnered together and have a firm understanding of your brand, we’re often able to complete projects in a more timely manner.

Yes! Think of the logo as the front door, while the brand is the whole building. A logo is a single visual identifier for your company. A brand is your whole identity; a cohesive and comprehensive visual and verbal representation of your company across ALL platforms. Websites, business cards, marketing materials, social media, internal documents… even the little freebies you hand out at parades—all of these reflect your brand.  

Your voice and image should work together to strengthen your messaging. By having an intentionally developed brand identity, you’re ensuring you are being clearly received by your customers and building a strong reputation that your clients can trust. Having a set of brand guidelines also ensures your team has the tools they need to confidently communicate with your audience and give your customers a recognizable and consistent experience.

While Canva promises easy-to-execute designs, users often find low-to-no return and an incredible time investment taken from other business priorities. 

True branding goes beyond creating a single graphic identifier (logo). Your brand should be a complete set of tools used to ensure continuity across all of your company’s outreach. These details, like color palettes, fonts and icons, are what elevates your company to the next level, and creates familiarity among your client base. It takes your image from DIY to big time. 

Quality, consistency and clarity are hard to achieve and easy to spot when they’re lacking. A design team does more than create one image—they create a visual landscape, involving all elements, that makes your brand recognizable and memorable. It truly is all in the details—details that online design platforms cannot achieve.

It’s simple—time, quality and the ability to delegate. A relationship with a marketing partner means you save time from searching for available freelancers and relaying information/values/branding. When a quality partner understands the nuances of your brand, the work is better. Having Forage as a marketing partner means you are getting a dedicated and highly skilled team with a proven track record of success. Just check out our portfolio!
