Circlemakers Studio is an independent brand agency. Although Circlemakers Studio is partnered with 99designs, they are not part of 99designs by Vista, and operate independently.
Circlemakers Studio branding packages are led end-to-end by a Brand Strategist, who works and collaborates with you consistently throughout your project. They will take care of everything from setting the direction for your brief, logo concepting, recruiting the right creatives, brand application, and finalizing all your final deliverables. They can also provide brand naming and messaging add-ons, custom creative recruitment at scale, and consult on how to continue to apply your brand further.
