What does a creative agency in Bangkok, Thailand charge?

Finding a reliable graphic design agency in Bangkok can be a real challenge. Though there are a lot of agencies and freelancers working in the city, finding a firm with experience of dealing with professional firms is tough. Well-established agencies often charge very high rates and freelancers are notoriously unrelaible.

So how much does a creative agency charge then?

Lexicon charges 2500 THB per hour in general for a single hour of graphic design, branding or video production work. However, prices are significantly lower when quoted as part of a project rate.

As for the specific costs of a single project, life would be a lot easier if we could just say a logo was 10,000 THB and an brand book was 100,000 THB; however, each project requires a different time commitment. 

For a client with low expectations and a clear idea of what they’re after, we can develop a new logo in an hour. However, finalizing a logo can take 50+ hours for clients that want us to perform competitor research and create numerous hand-drawn illustrations before settling on a design and applying it to stationery, banners and brochures.

To avoid confusion, we always quote prices before getting started on any project, so please get in touch if you’d like to discuss your creative project with us. Creative design hours are also included in most of our social media marketing packages.

Below we outline the prices we’ve charged for previous projects, but feel free to get in touch with us if you’d like a specific quote for your project. We always aim to reply within a couple of hours.
