Dallas branding agency
Make your offer easier to explain.
8gnc works with Dallas founders and operators whose business has outgrown the story around it. We diagnose the gap, then build the position, identity, site, content, or operating system that closes it.
Based in Richardson|Deep Ellum to Uptown|Senior-led from the first call
8gnc is based in Richardson and works across Dallas, Fort Worth, and the DFW metroplex. Some teams need a new identity. Others need the site, search, or content they already own to start doing its job. We name that difference before it becomes scope. See the work, or check our published pricing before we talk.
Who We Work With in Dallas
We are most useful when the business has outgrown the story, site, or systems carrying it.
B2B Founders Approaching a Raise
You need to look investable before the pitch. Investors spend an average of 3 minutes and 44 seconds on a pitch deck. If your brand doesn't signal credibility in those first slides, you're fighting uphill.
Enterprise Teams Stuck in Committee Branding
Your brand was designed by consensus. It shows. You need someone who'll tell you the truth and then build something with edges.
Local Brands Ready to Compete
Construction companies, medical practices, professional services firms. You've outgrown the logo your cousin's friend made. Now you need a brand that matches your reputation.
International Companies Entering DFW
Richardson is home to Startup Runway and a growing corridor of companies entering the U.S. market. We help you build credibility in a market that doesn't know you yet.

Learn moreThe DFW Market
Dallas-Fort Worth is the 4th largest metro in the United States with 8.1 million people. The DFW economy is home to 24 Fortune 500 headquarters, a tech corridor that stretches from Richardson to Plano, and a construction and real estate market that hasn't slowed down.
We're based in Richardson's Telecom Corridor, alongside companies including Samsung, AT&T, and Texas Instruments. The market is part of our working week, not a research slide.
That proximity matters when a local reputation has to carry into a larger market.
Dallas Branding Agency FAQ
Common questions from Dallas founders and operators
How much does a branding agency cost in Dallas?
Dallas branding agencies range from $5,000 for a basic logo to $150,000+ for a full rebrand from a traditional agency. 8gnc lets you start with the part the diagnosis says you need, then add to the system when the work earns it. See our published pricing for current numbers.
What's the difference between a Dallas branding agency and a marketing agency?
A marketing agency runs campaigns. A branding agency builds the position, identity, messaging, and web presence those campaigns have to carry. We find the broken layer before deciding which kind of work belongs in scope.
How long does a rebrand take?
Timing depends on what the diagnosis finds. A focused identity moves faster than a position, identity, website, and content system built together. We set the sequence and delivery dates in scope before the build begins.
Do you work with startups or only established companies?
Both. We work with founders preparing for a raise or launch and established Dallas businesses that have outgrown their current brand. The entry point is the same: a Brand Therapy call to name what the business needs next.
What does brand identity design cost in 2026?
Brand identity design in 2026 ranges from $2,500 for a freelancer logo package to $50,000+ for a full identity system from a traditional agency. At 8gnc, Identity Design includes the logo system, guidelines, typography, color, and a digital asset library. See our published pricing for current numbers.
How much does brand development cost for a B2B company?
B2B brand development typically runs $15,000–$75,000 depending on scope. Full brand development with positioning, identity, website, and content systems runs through our Brand Ops model. The difference from traditional agencies: you get senior strategists from day one, not account managers relaying messages.
Do you offer B2B website design in Dallas?
Yes. Our Websites & Digital Experience capability includes conversion-focused B2B website design built on modern frameworks with technical SEO baked in. We design and build sites that convert — not just look good. Most Dallas B2B websites are built for aesthetics, not pipeline. Ours are built for both.
What HubSpot experience does Michael bring?
Across his career, Michael has completed more than 50 HubSpot implementations, ranging from focused email, CRM and workflow setups to comprehensive builds. His work includes enrollment flows, intake-process design, workflow documentation and team training.
