Our pricing structures are typically fixed-bid, for very clearly-scoped projects with fixed deliverables. If your scope doesn’t change, neither will our budget. We align and sign off, then get to work. If you have difficult-to-predict needs, and are looking to have a flexible team on call to support over time, we can work out hourly rates tied to fixed weekly or monthly allocations, with regular reporting and no surprises.

No, we have no project minimums, but we’ll be quick to tell you if your budget is unlikely to get what you’re looking for from our team. If we can find alignment between your budget and the amount of work your project requires, we’re likely interested. If we’re not a good fit, we’ll be happy to point you towards some other resources that may be able to help at a lower budget.

We offer agency services in support of brand identity design, website design and development, and brand marketing/campaign projects. If your project requires something we don’t have staffed in-house, we can build the specialist team to get you the results you need under one roof/engagement. Historically, these are the services we’ve successfully delivered: brand identity and logo design, brand design systems and guidelines, brand design audits, website audits, competitor research, campaign creative, collateral design, video storyboarding, video animation and motion graphics, video editing, photo shoots, video shoots, graphic design, art direction, creative direction, event design, environmental graphics and installations, 3D renderings, 3D animations, print production, project management, brand strategy, positioning, key messaging, copywriting, social media campaigns and design, presentation design, icon design, infographics, reports, website design, user interface (UI) design, user experience (UX) design, digital product design, app design, site maps and content strategy, front-end development, back-end development, technical strategy, CMS selection, CMS training, content entry, QA/quality assurance and testing, user testing, website animations, hosting strategy, third party implementations. And all the little things in between.

Patrick and Gabe both come from large agency backgrounds in San Francisco, CA and Portland, OR. We have brand, campaign, and digital experience across a huge number of industries, with a long list of client notches on our belts: Intel, Google, Bloom Energy,  Qualcomm, Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Sprite, Toyota, Dolby, EA Sports, EA Games, Harvard Business School, MIT, GE Healthcare, & Starbucks. We have also spent a lot of time working with startups, and we understand what that experience is like for founders and their investors when it comes to building a brand, and managing its growth and evolution. We are problem solvers. We love doing great work for our clients regardless of budget and depth of scope.

Yes. We play many roles as a small agency - from long-term agency of record to contracted production team for small projects supporting in-house designers, or even other agencies. We are always engaged with our clients’ marketing team as the key point of contact, and we adapt our role to the dynamics of the team we’re supporting. Most Marketing Directors and CMO’s that we work with have in-house designers or freelancers, and as laid-back/zero-ego creatives, we love to get to know the team and confirm the role that we’ll be playing within your departmental dynamics. We play well with others, and we’re focused on the success of our engagement, in whatever shape that might take.

There are a handful of services that Studio Rover does not offer directly, although we’re asked about them fairly often. All of our websites are built with SEO friendly semantic markup that follows best practices for accessibility and search engine optimization, but we do not offer keyword research, SEO strategy, customized analytics reporting, or media buying.

Studio Rover is based in Bend, Oregon. About 20% of our clients are local in Bend, but the majority of our clients are clustered in Southern California, the Bay Area, and Portland, with other key clients sprinkled across the rest of the US and into Europe. Getting together in person with local businesses is always fantastic, but we mostly work remotely on a national and international scale.

Yes. Your business is hiring Studio Rover to create design assets, and those final assets belong to you once they’re approved. If an agency tells you that you won’t own the rights to the work you’ve paid them to create for you, run for the hills.

We love happy long-term relationships. If you have ongoing needs, we’re in it with you for the long haul. We’ll right-fit the team, the hours, and the budget as needed to make sure the initial project carries its full momentum forward into the future. Some agencies are quick to dip after the big initial engagement is wrapped. We bring our best value over the months that follow, helping you to put that new brand or website to work for your business across the very complicated and expansive marketing landscape that you’re responsible for.

Yes! Bring it on.
