Red Antler publishes no price, so here is what its own site does publish and how to cost the same scope from Singapore
Read on 29 October 2026, three pages of redantler.com carry a complete deliverable list, three business stages and not one figure about what any of it costs.

Red Antler does not publish a price. Three pages of its site were read on 29 October 2026, the home page, the about page and the contact page, all returning HTTP 200 with real content, and none of them carries a fee, a retainer band, a project minimum or an hourly rate. Measured across all three, the words price, pricing, fee, cost, retainer, budget and minimum do not appear once. The only two currency figures anywhere are a client valuation and a client order, both printed beside case studies. The price comes after a scoping conversation, and what the site does publish instead is a complete list of deliverables, which is the more useful document of the two.
What was read, and what each page returned
| Page | Status | Visible words | Price figure |
|---|---|---|---|
| redantler.com | 200 | 352 | none |
| redantler.com/about | 200 | 581 | none |
| redantler.com/contact | 200 | 142 | none |
That is a reading on a date and nothing more. A site can add a pricing page tomorrow, and the honest version of this answer is always dated. What it is not is an absence of information: an agency that routes every enquiry to a scoping conversation has made a pricing decision, and you can plan around it once you know that is the decision.
The deliverable list, which is the part worth taking away
The about page sets out the work in three groups, with the individual deliverables named. Read on 29 October 2026, they are:
- Foundation and Strategy. Research, Naming, Brand Strategy, Brand Architecture, Change Management. The page describes this group as "Immersing ourselves in your business, competition, and cultural context to establish a clear, differentiated North Star that sets a vision for our work together."
- Branding. Visual Identity, Verbal Identity, Sonic Identity, User Experience Design, Visual Design, Packaging Design, Apps and Product Design, Physical Experience Design, Engineering and Technology. Described as "Establishing a dynamic visual and verbal system that carries across your digital experience and accounts for every touchpoint across the user journey."
- Advertising. Campaign Strategy, Channel and Comms Planning, Integrated Brand Campaigns, Experiential, Brand Films and Video, out of home and digital out of home, Social, Direct Marketing, Influencer, Shopper.
Count them and there are roughly two dozen line items. Almost no brief needs all of them, and that is the point of having the list: it is a scoping instrument you did not have to pay for. Take it, strike out the fifteen or so you do not need, and send the remainder to any agency as the scope you want priced. Two proposals built against the same struck down list are comparable in a way that two proposals built against your own description of the problem never are.
Three of those items are usually underestimated by first time buyers. Brand Architecture decides how a new name relates to names you already own, and getting it wrong is expensive later rather than now. Change Management is the internal rollout, which is where most rebrands actually fail. And Verbal Identity is the one that determines whether your sales team can use the brand at all.
What the enquiry form tells you about how you will be quoted
The contact page is 142 visible words and it is more informative than most pricing pages. It asks three things before it asks for your details: whether you were referred by anyone, what stage your business is at, with the options given as Enterprise, Growth Stage Startup and Pre-Launch Startup, and then "Tell us about your business and scope of the project."
Three named stages means three different conversations, and a pre launch startup is not being quoted the same way as an enterprise. The referral question tells you something too: it is the first field on the form, which is a reasonable signal about where the work comes from. If you are approaching cold from outside the United States, expect to do more of the qualifying work yourself, and arrive with the struck down deliverable list rather than with a request for a rate card.
The facts the site publishes about itself
From the about page, read the same day. "Founded in 2007." "We're based in New York, NY." "With clients All over the world." The page also lists recognitions, naming Fast Company's Most Innovative, Inc's Top 10 Entrepreneurs of the Decade and Most Powerful Women in Business, and names its leadership individually, including the two co founders.
It also describes a group structure: "Red Antler Group brings together three best-in-class partners that build and grow exceptional brands", the other two being a presentation design studio and a creative performance marketing company, each with its own name and its own one line description. For a buyer that matters, because a brand project and a performance media retainer bought from one group are still two engagements with two scopes, and the group structure is how a brand agency sells the second one.
One office is named, New York, and no Asia office appears on any of the three pages read. So from Singapore this is a cross border engagement, which changes the brief before it changes the price.
The claims on the page are about clients, not about what you are buying
The home page prints outcomes beside its case studies. It states "$60B valuation" next to one client, "$1B order from United Airlines" next to another, "Fastest-growing dating app" and "iPhone App of the Year" next to two more, and "Named to TIME's 2024 World's Best Brands list" beside a fifth. Those are the only quantities anywhere on the three pages.
Read them for what they are. Each one is a fact about a client's business, published by the agency, and the agency is not claiming to have caused it. They tell you the company Red Antler keeps and the scale of brief it is used to, which is genuinely useful information when you are deciding whether you are its kind of client. They are not a price, and they are not a result attached to a fee, so they cannot be used to work out what the engagement is worth to you. The number that does that is the one you calculate before you brief anybody, from what the brand decision is worth to your own business.
Costing the same scope from Singapore
With a struck down deliverable list in hand, ask every agency on your shortlist for a fee per deliverable rather than a project total. A total is one number you cannot interrogate; a list of fifteen is a document where you can see which three items are carrying the cost, and drop or defer them. How the money in a branding engagement is normally built, workstream by workstream, is set out in the five workstreams, the fee split and how to judge a branding agency.
Where no supplier in a category publishes a figure, the method that works is building your own two column view, which is the subject of competitor pricing when most rivals do not publish a price. Run it here: one column is what each agency says it includes, the other is what each quoted for the same struck down list, and the comparison becomes possible even though not one of them published anything.
Four cross border questions to settle in the contract rather than in the kickoff. The currency the fee is denominated in and who carries the movement over a six month project. Which law governs and where a dispute is heard. The notice period and whether it is reciprocal, which has a statutory backdrop locally set out in what notice period a Singapore marketing contract carries. And who owns the working files, not just the final artwork, on the day the engagement ends.
The fifth question is time zones. New York is twelve to thirteen hours behind Singapore depending on the season, which means a working day has no overlap unless somebody takes an early or a late call. Decide at the outset whose evening it is, because an identity project runs on review cycles and a cycle that loses a day to the clock each way runs at half speed.
When a New York brand agency is the right purchase
It is the right purchase when the audience you are building the brand for is American or global, when the brand decision is big enough that the architecture matters more than the execution cost, and when you want a name whose credentials your own investors recognise. It is the wrong purchase when the job is a Singapore market entry, where local category knowledge and the ability to sit in a room beat any portfolio, and when the budget would be better spent on the rollout than on the identity. On the smaller end of the same question, how individual brand names work beside a parent name covers the architecture decision you may be able to settle yourself.
Questions about Red Antler pricing and brand agency fees
Does Red Antler publish a price anywhere?
Not on its home page, its about page or its contact page, read 29 October 2026. All three returned HTTP 200 with content, and none of them uses the words price, pricing, fee, cost, retainer, budget or minimum.
Why do brand agencies so rarely publish a figure?
Because the scope genuinely varies by a factor of ten between a naming project and a full identity with a rollout, and a single published number would be wrong for almost every enquiry. The consequence for a buyer is that the scope document is the thing you control, so write it before you make contact.
What should I send to get a comparable number?
The struck down deliverable list, the decision the brand has to support, the launch date, the surfaces that have to carry the identity, and the one metric you will judge it on. Those five, on one page, get you proposals you can lay side by side.
Does Red Antler work with clients outside the United States?
Its about page states "With clients All over the world" and names one base, New York, with no Asia office listed on the three pages read, and the enquiry form has no country field. That is what the site says on the date, and the specific question is one for the enquiry.
Is a pre launch startup quoted differently from an established company?
The enquiry form asks you to choose between Enterprise, Growth Stage Startup and Pre-Launch Startup before you describe the project, so the stage is a sorting question the agency asks first. Expect the scope conversation to differ by stage.
What should I fix before briefing any brand agency?
The name clearance work, because a concept you cannot own is a round of design you have paid for twice. In a regulated category that search is a project in itself, and it belongs before the creative rather than after it.
The agency a buyer is given when they ask for one
Everything above assumes you found Red Antler and went looking at its site. A Singapore founder shortlisting a brand agency increasingly does not start there: they ask an assistant for three agencies worth talking to and work from the answer. That shortlist is assembled from what has been published about each agency, which is why a firm that publishes no price can still be top of it, and why a good agency with a thin published footprint can be absent from it entirely. AI Knows Us measures which names come back on questions like that, and a scan will tell you whether yours is one of them.
