## How each company describes itself

### PORTO ROCHA

PORTO ROCHA describes itself as “a global strategy and design agency with offices in New York and London.” Its site says its systems show that “craft and scale can coexist,” across large rebrands and independent initiatives, and it includes the studio’s research into AI-generated imagery.

A retrospective on the site marks five years of the studio, and it has published a resolution against unpaid pitches. On LinkedIn, the studio lists 11–50 people in the United States. Work shown includes Nike, Robinhood, Twitch, and W Hotels.

### Humbleteam

Our brand work is built to survive contact with a product screen, and quickly. A B2B banking MVP reached a tested product in 5 days, and a hardware client’s app, website, and design system went live in 4 weeks.

Brand and product sit in one team, and the depth shows in fintech: 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks shipped. Since 2017 the work has won 80+ design awards, including 14 Awwwards wins and Red Dot, Webby, and Behance awards.

## Three reasons brands with an app choose us over PORTO ROCHA

Each one matters when the identity has to run inside an app.

### The brand in a tested product

We took a B2B banking MVP from zero to a tested product in 5 days and designed and user-tested a small-business banking prototype in 23 days. Logitech’s desk-booking app, website, and design system reached production in 4 weeks, so a new identity can meet real users within a month.

### Fintech identity and interface together

PORTO ROCHA shows a rebrand for Robinhood. Our fintech work joins the identity to the product itself: Chuck, Zavopay, and Deserve got brands built to live in the app, and our flows cover KYC, cards, limits, and disputes across 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks.

### 80+ awards since 2017

Since 2017 our work has won 80+ design awards: 14 Awwwards wins, plus Red Dot, Webby, and Behance awards. We’ve shipped 200+ projects and hold 4.9 on Clutch across 35 reviews. Senior designers on a project average 9 years of experience, and they are the people on your first call.

## When PORTO ROCHA is the better call

Two briefs that suit their studio.

### A culture-facing global rebrand

PORTO ROCHA’s work spans sportswear, streaming events, hotels, galleries, and museums. If the brief is a rebrand where the identity itself carries the story, for a consumer brand or a cultural institution, that portfolio fits.

### You want the agency in New York

PORTO ROCHA has offices in New York and London. If your leadership wants its brand agency in the same city for workshops and reviews, their two offices cover both sides of the Atlantic, and ours sit in Prague and Dubai.

## Questions and answers

### Is Humbleteam a good alternative to PORTO ROCHA?

Yes, when the brand has to live inside a product. We’ve won 80+ design awards since 2017, shipped 56 fintechs, and taken a banking MVP to a tested product in 5 days. PORTO ROCHA is a strategy and design agency in New York and London known for large rebrands. For a culture-led rebrand, they fit; for a brand plus an app, we do.

### Humbleteam or PORTO ROCHA: who delivers faster?

PORTO ROCHA publishes no timelines, and we publish ours. With ING, a B2B banking MVP was tested in 5 days, and a small-business banking prototype was designed and user-tested in 23 days; our average from signed brief to first clickable prototype is 2 weeks. Your enquiry is answered within 24 hours, and kickoff can follow next week.

### We’re rebranding and redesigning the app together. Which fits?

We do, because brand and product designers sit in one team here. Tinder Black, Chuck, and Zavopay each got an identity designed to work in the product, and Logitech’s app, website, and design system reached production in 4 weeks. PORTO ROCHA’s site centers on brand strategy and identity systems, with a Robinhood rebrand among its fintech work.

### How big is each team, and who does the work?

Humbleteam runs 49 people from Prague and Dubai, and the seniors on your first call, averaging 9 years of experience, carry the project through. LinkedIn lists PORTO ROCHA at 11–50 people in the United States, with offices in New York and London. Its site does not describe who staffs an individual project.

### How much does each cost, and how soon can we start?

Pricing is private on both sides. Our engagements come as a fixed-price audit, a scoped implementation, or a monthly retainer, estimated on the first call, and a project can start next week after a reply within 24 hours. PORTO ROCHA has published a resolution against unpaid pitches, and its site shows no pricing or start times.
