All of the top branding agencies ranked have verified client reviews, a solid background, and a robust portfolio of branding projects that helped place them on this report.
Building and maintaining a brand can be tricky. Branding goes beyond a logo or a symbol to include every aspect of how your company is represented. Some great brands seem accidental: the now-iconic Nike Swoosh was the $35 production of a freelance graphic design student. While the Swoosh is a major part of Nike's design language around their brand, there are many other aspects of who they are and how they present the company that are now part of their branding or brand identity.
