 Hi folks! I’m exploring the idea of hiring a branding agency in Denver for a new premium artisanal food brand I’m planning to launch. I’ve seen a bunch of agencies that look good based on their portfolios — beautiful logos, slick packaging, nice websites — but I’m a bit worried about authenticity. It’s hard to know if they really “get me” and my concept, or if they’ll just give me something generic that looks trendy for a week then feels stale. Has anyone here actually worked with a Denver-based brand or design agency? I’m especially curious about honest stories: how was the creative process, did the final result match your expectations, how did communication go, and was the cost worth it compared to what you got. Real talk welcome — I want to avoid walking into something that looks good but feels hollow.
