Two Good Agencies.
Different in the Right Ways.
Branding Los Angeles is a Los Angeles branding and marketing agency offering brand identity, logo design, web design, social media management, and digital advertising for businesses in the LA market.
This comparison exists to help you decide. We'll tell you what they do well, where we differ, and which option is likely the better fit for your situation. We'd rather you make the right choice — even if that's not us.
What They Offer
LA branding and visual identity
Branding Los Angeles focuses on brand identity and design — logo, visual systems, and web for LA businesses. If local LA brand identity work is the primary need, they serve that category.
Where Sidestreet Is Different
Broadcast-trained video production
Branding Los Angeles focuses on brand identity, web design, and digital advertising. Sidestreet adds broadcast-quality video production, commercial photography, and drone aerial from a television journalism background. For brands that need visual identity paired with compelling production content, Sidestreet covers both disciplines.
PR and crisis communications
Sidestreet operates a dedicated communications practice. Media relations, crisis preparedness, and earned media strategy aren't part of a brand identity and design agency's scope.
National and Southeast market reach
Sidestreet serves clients across the Southeast and nationally. For businesses that aren't LA-specific but are evaluating LA agencies, Sidestreet offers comparable services remotely without the LA overhead.
Church media practice
Sidestreet maintains a dedicated practice for faith communities. Branding Los Angeles serves commercial clients.
How to Decide
Branding Los Angeles is probably the right choice if: you're an LA business that primarily needs brand identity design and web from a local agency embedded in the LA visual culture and market.
Sidestreet is probably the right choice if: you need production and communications alongside brand strategy and web, want PR/crisis capability, are outside the LA market, or need church media.
If you're genuinely unsure, talk to both of us before committing. Any agency worth working with will give you a straight answer about whether they're the right fit — and so will we.
