Evolve is like a full creative ecosystem. They take on projects for web and app development, film and photography, UI/UX, SEO, and marketing. It’s the kind of setup that keeps things moving without the usual gaps between.

We love how thorough they are. For instance, they delve into competitor research, help craft mission statements, and even conduct trademark and domain checks with legal experts to protect your brand from potential surprises later on.

Their team is stacked with specialists, including senior graphic directors, executive producers, blockchain devs, and full-stack engineers.

It’s impressive that they’ve worked with clients in industries like construction (Dowco), food service (Tasty), and tech hardware (Stormh). Plus, they now own a production studio, which means in-house video and sound capabilities are integrated into the process with ease. 

The catch? They lean toward bigger, retainer-style projects. It might be overkill if you’re after something light. But for full-on brand building, they’re a strong pick.

Incredibly diverse team of experts

“Incredibly diverse team of experts in design, media and overall brand positioning. I’ve been working with the executive producer and cinematographer Garnet Campbell. As one of the partners in Evolve he has helped proliferate my YouTube channel and social media. It has been an enriching experience. I highly recommend this vancouver branding agency.”

Brilliant experience 

“10 STARS! I had a brilliant experience working with the team at Evolve, they were 100% commitment to meeting my very specific vision and did unlimited revisions until I was happy. They went above and beyond my expectations and I now have a brand guideline that I’m very proud of. I really enjoyed working with the team at Evolve, they are extremely friendly and professional, I look forward to exploring more opportunities to work with them in future projects. Would highly recommend to anyone.”

Monday Creative feels like a studio that knows its lane and owns it. They live and breathe the outdoors, wellness, and active lifestyle space, and it makes a difference.

You can tell from the start that this isn’t just surface-level branding. Their team comes straight out of places like Lululemon, Arc’teryx, and On, so they’ve got firsthand experience in what makes performance brands resonate.

We like that their work lens into storytelling that hits with campaigns that aren’t just polished but meaningful. Whether it’s helping Call It Spring shift toward sustainability or working with Adidas to tap into Gen Z athlete culture, their approach connects in a way that feels real.

They also share what they learn, which is refreshing. Their blog and Medium posts go into topics like brand sustainability and influencer strategy, useful stuff, not fluff. 

Just something to keep in mind: they focus on their niche. If your brand sits outside the outdoor or lifestyle space, it might not be the best match. Still, they’re sharp, creative, and effective. 

A gamechanger 

“Working with Monday was a game-changer. Their world-class design team brought not just incredible creative chops, but a thoughtful, human approach that guided us through our first rebrand with clarity and confidence. They pushed us in all the right ways, helping us land on a distinct, highly usable brand system, not just a logo. In 2025, that matters – I can’t recommend them enough!”

Deliver intelligent, functional, and actionable results 

“Working with Monday Creative is a dream every time! They listen well, ask relevant questions, and deliver intelligent, functional and actionable results. They respect time and financial budgets. Most importantly they are very kind!”

We can tell that The Branded Agency was built with entrepreneurs in mind. Their “Brand in a Box” and startup-focused packages cut through a lot of the usual agency bloat, giving small businesses real support without the long timelines or inflated fees that come with bigger films.

They’re full stack in the truest sense. Think branding, SEO, PPC, email campaigns, content infographics, and whitepapers, which makes them a solid one-stop shop if you’re trying to keep things streamlined.

Their past clients that we spoke with praised how quickly the team was able to deliver and how easy they are to work with. No radio silence or endless back-and-forth—just fast, clear communication and a team that moves.

Price-wise, rates usually range from $150 to $199 an hour, with a $5,000 project minimum, which might be a bit much for early-stage businesses or sole proprietors. 

On the bright side, they’re upfront about pricing, and the agency has a record of achieving a 23% average reduction in marketing costs after switching over, so there’s value in the long run.

Fantastic experience 

“Working with Quincy and The Branded Agency team was absolutely first class and professional from start to finish. The communication was better than I have experienced in many other projects. The team’s talent came through in their work and in the meetings we would often hold. A fantastic experience I would highly recommend.”

Dan Dixon, Google Review

Did an outstanding job

“Our company needed a complete logo, branding, and website design and the Branded Agency really did an outstanding job. Their attention to detail is more than we excepted and they kept to their projected timelines of completion. They will be our choice for any future projects we need!”

Creative Others Collective leans heavily into physical-digital experiences, such as AR, interactive displays, and installations. We noticed that their offerings are what people actually stop and engage with, not just scroll past.

What’s crucial is their data-driven approach. They track customer behaviour and campaign performance to make sure every move counts and your budget gets the best return. 

It’s also worth mentioning that their process is laid out clearly: assess, design, build, implement, measure, so even if you’re new to this kind of project, it’s easy to follow along without feeling lost.

You’ll need a bit of a budget, though. Project minimums typically start at $10,000, and hourly rates land around $100 to $149. This range can be too steep for some, especially smaller businesses or smaller campaigns. 

Nonetheless, for the kind of hands-on, custom work they’re doing, it checks out. If you’re trying to leave a lasting impression in real-world spaces, Creative Others Collective is worth considering.

Fantastic group

“Troy and his team are a fantastic group. Timely and clear communication, accurate scheduling and fun to work with. Can’t recommend enough.”

Sam Hunt, Google Review

Go above and beyond

“Troy and the team at Creative Others go above and beyond to deliver phenomenal, experienced-based, interactive installations at events, festivals, and conferences that are engaging and focused on audience interaction. It’s been a pleasure collaborating in the past and I look forward to the future!”

MD Creative Agency brings a deliberate pace to brand-building. They combined branding, web design, marketing strategy, communications, and photography into one cohesive package— no need to shuffle between multiple providers or worry about inconsistencies.  

They also have their own photographer and art director, making each client’s brand photography feel authentic and tailored, steering clear of generic stock images. 

What makes them different is their interest in handing over the reins. Instead of locking clients into endless retainers, they provide templates, guides, and a “Brand Clarity Course” that helps you take charge of your own marketing down the line.

The drawback? They’re not ideal for rush jobs or logo-only requests since they focus on complete packages. And you’ll likely need to book a couple of months out, so expect some wait time.

Regardless, if you want that collaborative feel and achieve something with depth and clarity, MD Creative Agency is a reliable pick.

Works amazing 

“I’ve worked with Megan and her team on my last three projects. Not only do they have exquisite taste and style, they are responsive, hard workers, and good listeners. Having worked with numerous proposal graphic designers over my career, Megan is a unicorn. She understands the process, what the end product needs to convey, and works amazing well with technical teams..”
