I own a small, 7 person land surveying firm in Houston. I have owned it about three years, but it has been in business since 1995. The former owner never did any type of marketing, website, advertising, brochures, anything of that nature. With the construction climate here there is not really a huge need for advertising if you never want to grow.

I however do want to grow. To that end, I am looking for a way to have someone design us a new logo and website, punch up some brochures and create (suggestion) a pretty spiral bound book representative of our work that we can take and deliver to potential clients, perhaps with a $100 restaurant gift card stuck inside to make it slightly more memorable.

The problem is, all I really see when I search marketing is either full time on-site people, or firms that want to charge exorbitant sums every month for SEO and blogging and poo poo like that that I don't care about. I just need a website, a logo, and some light paperwork.

Anyone have any thoughts on how to get someone like that? Like, we need forty hours worth of one-time work for us, and that is it.

The budget isn't a bare minimum, I would think five to eight grand is reasonable for a good week of work. An agency scares me off due to trying to sell me things I don't need.
