Branding Agency Chicago

Question 1

Are you actually a branding agency based in Chicago?

Answer

Yes. Homade is headquartered in Chicago, IL, and builds brand systems from our Chicago studio. The designer who sets your direction is the same person who documents the system and rolls out the first artifacts, so the work stays coherent from kickoff to handoff.

Question 2

What does a brand system from Homade include?

Answer

Logo lockups, typography, color, grid, and components, all documented so anyone you hand it to can stay on brand. We then roll out the first wave of artifacts you actually need: site hero, deck, business cards, social, and packaging.

Question 3

How long does a branding project take?

Answer

A focused identity runs 3 to 5 weeks depending on scope. Every project gets a real DO date and a real DUE date, not an estimate range, and you see real artifacts (a poster, a card, a hero) early instead of just a moodboard.

Question 4

Do you work with Chicago businesses specifically, or is it remote-only?

Answer

Both. We build brands for Chicago operators and for teams across the US. Local clients can meet in person; remote clients get the same cadence, daily Looms, and a real human responsible from day one.

Question 5

Can you rebrand an existing Chicago business?

Answer

Yes. We start with a discovery pass on your audience, voice, competitors, and existing assets, deciding what stays, what evolves, and what gets retired, then build the new system around what is already working.

Question 6

Do you design print and packaging, or just digital?

Answer

Both. The system covers print and digital, from packaging and environmental graphics to the deck, social, and the website hero, so every artifact feels like one company instead of three.

Question 7

Do you build the website after the brand?

Answer

Yes. Branding is the foundation every other service builds on. Once the system is documented, our Rapid Build and custom Webflow development pull from it directly, so the site ships on brand from the first pixel.

Question 8

What does a branding project cost?

Answer

Brand systems are scoped after a brief discovery. We give you an honest read on timeline and budget within one business day. No retainer required to get a quote.
