What should I ask a branding agency before hiring?

Ask who will actually work on your account (partners often sell, juniors deliver), how they report progress, what happens if scope changes, which similar clients they can reference, and who owns the deliverables and accounts afterwards. A reputable branding agency answers all five without hesitation.

Is it better to hire a local Chicago agency or work remotely?

Local Chicago agencies suit work that benefits from on-site collaboration and market knowledge, while remote agencies often offer better rates for the same quality. Many businesses shortlist both — Vai.me's verified reviews make it easier to judge remote agencies you can't meet in person.
