Scoped and agreed before we start. Never by the hour.

Straight advice

If something won't pay off, you'll hear it before you spend.

No lock-in

Your website and final images and videos are yours to use. No maintenance fees.

Who is Cool Koala Creative?+

A Niagara creative and marketing agency. We make photography, video, branding, websites and ads, and plan the marketing around them, for businesses, non-profits and brands across Canada, the US and beyond.

Do you work with businesses my size?+

Almost certainly. We've run national and international campaigns for major brands, and we also work with small business owners and entrepreneurs here in Niagara. The plan and the budget scale to where you actually are rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all package, and the standard of the work doesn't change either way.

What services do you offer?+

Branding, web design and SEO, photography, video, social media, paid ads and marketing strategy, all under one roof, which keeps your message consistent and improves results.

How much does it cost to work with you?+

It depends on the service, and the spread is wide. Most projects land between $2,500 and $50,000, with smaller one-off services costing considerably less. Each service page carries its own pricing guidance. Tell us what you're planning and what you have to work with and we'll be straight with you about what it can achieve. We'll recommend the work most likely to get you a result, not the cheapest option and not the biggest package, and we move efficiently so your budget goes into the work rather than the process. We price the whole scope up front as one fixed number, never by the hour, so there are no surprise invoices. Not sure what you need yet? A Strategic Growth Audit is $750 and ends with a written, prioritized plan.

How long do projects take?+

It depends on scope. A headshot session or a one-page website can be done within a week or so. Larger websites, video campaigns and rebrands take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. You'll get a realistic timeline with your quote.

What makes Cool Koala different?+

A few things. You deal with the same person from the first call to delivery, and they bring in specialists from our roster when the work calls for it. Everything is quoted as one fixed price, never by the hour. If something won't pay off for you, we'll say so before you spend. And your website and final images and videos are yours to use, with no maintenance fees to us.

What if I already have an agency or freelancer?+

That's common, and completely fine. Sometimes we complement what you already have, handling the creative while they run media buying, for example, and sometimes we take the whole thing off your plate. We'll tell you honestly which makes more sense for you.

Start with a conversation.

Send us a message or book a free 15-minute call. We'll get back to you as soon as we can to talk through ideas, timing and budget.
