Kensa Creative in short

Kensa Creative is a Telford creative marketing agency working from a purpose-built studio at the Idea Factory in Hortonwood, trading as KENSA CREATIVE LIMITED since 2010. One in-house team covers branding, marketing, websites and video including animation. Estimates are itemised, so you see where the hours go. Our verdict is that Kensa Creative suits a business wanting branding, web and video from one studio with an upfront rate.

Customer reviews are spotless, with five stars on Google across the board, and the site publishes its rate with itemised estimates. Against that, no VAT position or insurance detail is published, and first contact runs through a form with no phone or email on the contact page. Sixteen years as a limited company counts in its favour.

Branding, marketing, websites and video including animation come from the in-house studio at the Idea Factory in Hortonwood. The Telford base serves Telford and Shropshire, with driving directions on the contact page. Our verdict is that the studio setup suits a branding brief where seeing the work made under one roof matters.

The headline customer evidence is 5.0 from 51 Google reviews, deep for a studio of its kind. Sixteen years as a limited company sits behind the score, and the published hourly rate with itemised estimates is rare in this round. Form-only first contact is the friction point the reviews do not remove.

Questions about Kensa Creative

Is Kensa Creative any good?

On the evidence, yes for branding-led briefs: it sits fourth in our Telford marketing agency table, holds five stars on Google, and pairs an upfront hourly rate with in-house video. The purpose-built studio behind the rate is part of what you pay for. Contact runs through a form only. Send your brief through the quick-quote route for an itemised estimate.

Is Kensa Creative a member of a trade body?

No industry scheme membership could be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked, which is normal for marketing agencies. No badges sit on its pages; the published rate and itemised estimates do the talking. The limited company record sits at Companies House for checking instead. Search the company name there and confirm the record is active.

How much does Kensa Creative charge?

The site states an hourly rate of £100 with itemised estimates that change only if your brief does; no VAT position is stated [1] [2]. That is unusually open for this round. Send the full brief for a written estimate and confirm what counts as a change before work starts.

Where does Kensa Creative work?

The studio works from Hortonwood in Telford and serves Telford and Shropshire. Branding and video briefs travel, so work from further afield is worth asking about. The Idea Factory address is a named studio, not a virtual office. Driving directions sit on the contact page. Send your postcode with the brief to confirm you are covered.

How is Kensa Creative ranked?

It ranks fourth of the ten marketing agencies in our September round, picked for branding and video from a purpose-built studio. The upfront rate is its clearest daylight against the table. It trails the winner on stated cover and contact routes, so read those gaps on the full page. Read the review, then ask for the written estimate.

How do I get a quote from Kensa Creative?

Use the quick-quote route or the contact form with the full brief, since no phone or email sits on the contact page. Estimates are itemised against the published hourly rate and change only if the brief does. Confirm what counts as a change before work starts, then compare the written estimate against a rival studio bid.

How does Kensa Creative compare with the others in this round?

It sits fourth behind a PR practice in third and the winner on top. Its edge is the published hourly rate with itemised estimates, which neither of the two above it matches. The gap is contact routes and stated cover. Read it as the branding-and-video pick for buyers who want the rate before the relationship.
