Aditi & Chirag Gupta,
Co-Founders, Origin Nutrition

As founders of a start-up, we have found it very rare to find vendors who are as involved, understanding and dedicated to our vision as Smudge. Whether it is discussions on overall marketing and strategy with Charlie & Rhea, or cooking up entertaining social media content with Sanaa, Smudge has become a part of the Origin family. They are a great team to work with and we would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for an involved, committed and talented marketing agency.

FAQs.

We are a boutique design agency focusing on personalized turnkey solutions for our clients through collaboration. We offer a wide range of services and we control the end to end creative process till delivery.

Our Strategic and creative resources are our most valuable assets, we cannot afford to give them away for free. We also know from experience that the best work happens in a committed relationship, we therefore don't take part in free pitches. What we offer for free to potential clients is a strategic analysis and a creative debrief.

A design agency will simplify your life while helping your business grow and save you money over time by taking care of your brand relevance and communication. We love the challenge of creating unique solutions for our clients. Furthermore, we are happy to coordinate directly with printers, web hosting and domain companies, and other agencies – all so you can focus on the bigger picture of your business.

Design is a collaborative process – we try our best to understand what you are looking for, but we can’t read your mind! The more specific feedback you can give us, the more we can refine our designs to your requirements. If you "can’t put a finger" on why something isn’t working for you, talk to us! Communication is key, and the more we understand you, the better the product we can create for you.

Our services are never one-size-fits-all and so is our price. Please contact us to discuss your project requirements and we’d be happy to give you a ballpark.

We are not suppliers, we work as your partner and our work adds to your bottom line, so pay us on time and invest in us. (So, No we don't work on credit)

We work hard, but firm believers that long hours and weekend work are bad for business and work life balance. So please don't ask us too, Unless you are willing to pay for Extra Hours.

No problem, we have many overseas clients and meet regularly via video call. All estimates and bills are provided in Dollars and can be paid via bank transfer or credit card.
