## How each company describes itself

### R/GA

R/GA describes itself as “an independent creative innovation company for the intelligence age” that designs intelligent brand systems. Its services span brand design, product and experience design, campaign and content design, CRM, and R/GA Ventures. In 2025 it acquired Addition, an AI system design studio.

The site lists offices in the US, UK, Germany, the UAE, Brazil, Argentina, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, and Australia. LinkedIn shows 1,001–5,000 employees. Featured work includes Google Health and Nike ACG.

### Humbleteam

Small enough to answer fast, senior enough to ship: we reply within 24 hours, start the next week, and reach a first clickable prototype 2 weeks after a signed brief.

We are 49 people in Prague and Dubai, working European and Gulf hours since 2017. The work spans 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks, 30+ healthtech platforms studied, and a 27-app sports benchmark rerun every four weeks. Our AI agents stay inside client design teams after the engagement ends.

## What teams get from us that R/GA does not publish

Three differences you can check on the first call.

### Speed you can hold us to

In 5 days, an ING B2B banking MVP went from zero to a tested product. ING’s small-business banking prototype was designed and user-tested in 23 days; Logitech’s app, website, and design system hit production in 4 weeks. Our app and web work runs 20–40% faster now that AI skills are part of it.

### Banking and fintech as home turf

Our client list holds 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks, and 5 YC-backed fintechs keep our designers in their own product teams. KYC, card states, limits, and dispute flows are our weekly work, and so are the edge cases around them. Afternoon, an AI-first finance platform, is one of the 18 cases we publish.

### The people you meet do the work

Our senior designers average 9 years of experience, and the designers on your first call are the ones who ship your screens. Since 2017 we have run 200+ projects, won 80+ design awards, and earned 4.9 on Clutch across 35 reviews. A second project follows for 70% of our clients.

## When R/GA is the better call

Two briefs that fit a network of R/GA’s size.

### One launch across many markets

R/GA lists offices in 10 countries across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. A brand launching in many regions at once, with local teams in each, matches that footprint.

### Brand system, campaign, and CRM together

Their services run from brand design to campaign and content design, CRM, and AI tools for on-brand production. A buyer who wants one company to own the brand and the media campaign gets that scope.

## What a 49-person team delivers

- **24 hours** to reply to a new enquiry (a project can start next week)
- **2 weeks** from brief to first prototype (average across projects)
- **9 years** average senior experience (on every Humbleteam project)

## Questions and answers

### Is Humbleteam a good alternative to R/GA?

For a digital product, yes. We are a 49-person product design team in Prague and Dubai with 200+ projects since 2017, 56 fintechs and 30+ banks, and a 4.9 Clutch rating across 35 reviews. R/GA is a global creative innovation company with offices in 10 countries, selling brand systems, products, campaigns, and CRM. Choose us when speed and direct access to senior designers matter most.

### Humbleteam or R/GA: who delivers faster?

We publish our speed, and R/GA’s site does not publish delivery times. An ING banking MVP took us 5 days from zero to tested, and Logitech’s app, website, and design system took 4 weeks to reach production. A first clickable prototype arrives 2 weeks after a signed brief on average, and we reply within 24 hours.

### Which is better for an AI product?

We are the closer fit when the job is the product interface. We have designed AI products such as Cluely, Afternoon, and Futurproof, built a prototype for an AI text-to-video platform in 15 days, and we install AI agents inside client design teams. R/GA builds AI tools for brands, including its BRDNA Sequence system and the Addition studio it acquired in 2025.

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

R/GA is a network with offices in 10 countries and 1,001–5,000 employees on LinkedIn; Humbleteam is one team of 49. At our studio, the designers on your first call carry the project from brief to handoff, and they average 9 years of experience. R/GA’s site does not say how project teams are formed, so ask who would be on yours.

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

Neither publishes rates; we quote on the first call and can begin the following week. Our three engagement types are a fixed-price audit, a scoped implementation, and a monthly retainer, and a new enquiry gets an answer within 24 hours. R/GA’s site routes prospective clients to regional contacts and states no pricing or start times.
