We started BrandBench because hiring brand design
has always been broken.

Agencies charge $25k minimums and take months to deliver. Freelancers can be unreliable. Hiring in-house is slow and expensive.

Brand work doesn’t need all that. It needs experienced designers, minus the overhead.

Brandbench offers senior brand design—async, fast, and flexible.
Project or subscription pricing, with work starting in 48 hours instead of weeks.

Who runs Brandbench.

Founder

Brandbench is run by senior designers with 15 years of experience inside studios and agencies in India, Singapore, and Auckland.

We’ve led brand work for Numera (a fast-food chain in New Zealand), LSquared (digital signage in the US), JGU, and dozens of D2C, hospitality, and SaaS brands across geographies. Our founder Alok previously led design at Cutshort, a Series B SaaS platform.

We started Brandbench because we wanted to do brand work the way we always thought it should be done. Without four-week proposals. Without weekly status calls. Without the agency layers between the work and the people doing it.

Three things to know before you subscribe:

We work async only. No discovery calls, no kickoff meetings, no weekly check-ins. Trello, Loom, email. That’s how we deliver fast and price below US agencies without sacrificing quality.

We work across time zones. Most of our clients are in the US, UK, and APAC. You brief in your evening, we deliver overnight. The time difference is a feature.

We’re deliberately small. We’ve turned down team-scale growth on purpose because senior design at high volume requires the agency machinery we left behind. We’d rather work with 15 founders well than 50 founders poorly.

If that sounds like the kind of brand partner you’ve been looking for, the pricing is up there. Pick a tier and we start tomorrow.

Who actually does the design work?

Senior designers with 10–15 years of experience each. Every project gets senior attention from someone who's done this work for over a decade — no junior hand-offs, no offshore subcontracting.

You're based in India. Does that affect quality or communication?

We've worked with clients in the US, UK, NZ, Singapore, and Australia for over a decade. Communication is in fluent English over Trello, email, and Loom. The time zone works in your favor — brief in your evening, get deliverables overnight. Most clients tell us turnaround feels faster than working with a designer in their own city.

Why is this 5–10× cheaper than US agencies?

Two reasons. First, we don't carry agency overhead — no project managers, no client-services team, no expensive office, no junior-designer subsidization. Second, our cost of operation lets us price below US market rates while paying senior designers fairly. You get senior US-agency-level brand work without paying for the agency machinery layered on top.
