Dan BennettWhen working with a custom app development and AI automation partner, you really only hope for one thing: a smooth and frictionless experience. And that is exactly what I got from Jason Rutel and Creative Nomads. From custom platform development to AI-powered automation, it's almost like he was already inside my head and simply helped my business bring our ideas to life. Fast, efficient, creative, and kind... they are everything you hope for when trusting someone to build the technology behind your brand. Not only would I highly recommend Creative Nomads for any business looking for a custom development and automation partner, I'll be working with them again very soon on my next project.

How much does brand strategy cost?
A strategy consult runs $450 to $1,500, design modernization $2,000 to $5,500, and a full brand with positioning, identity, and voice $15,000 to $25,000, more for multi-department organizations.
-
Can you just design a logo?
We can, but a logo without positioning is decoration. If your positioning is already right, design modernization is often the right size.
-
How long does a brand engagement take?
Six to ten weeks for a full identity system. Consults and modernization are faster, scoped on the first call.
-
Rebrand or refresh, how do I know which I need?
Right positioning with dated visuals is a refresh. If a stranger cannot pick you out of a lineup, or your audience has changed, it is a rebrand. The free Digital Legitimacy Score shows which side you are on.
