How much does branding cost in Portugal?

Lisbon agencies typically quote €5,000–€15,000 for a brand identity project, freelancers €50–€100/hour, and traditional studios take 8–16 weeks. Pushup Design ships investor-ready branding on a flat subscription from €800/month — most startup brands cost €1,600–€2,400 total, delivered in 48-hour reps.

Can Portuguese startups fund branding with the startup voucher?

Yes. The Vouchers para Startups program (PRR / Startup Portugal, managed by IAPMEI) funds up to €30,000 at 100% for eligible tech SMEs under 10 years old, and eligible expenses explicitly include brand and logo creation, marketing plans, and external specialized services. We help clients prepare the application.

Do you work in Portuguese or English?

Both. We're based in Lisbon and work natively in Portuguese, but most of our startup work is English-first — because Portuguese startups are born-global and their brands need to work for international investors and customers from day one.

How is a design subscription different from hiring a Lisbon agency?

Traditional Lisbon studios quote per project — often without public prices — and take 8–16 weeks. Pushup charges a flat €800–€2,499/month, starts within days, ships every 48 hours, and you pause or cancel any month. Same senior quality, startup tempo, transparent cost.

Branding Agency in Lisbon for Startups

Q: Does branding help a startup raise investment?

Yes. Investors see hundreds of decks and spend minutes on each — design quality and a clear narrative are read as proxies for execution. Portugal Ventures' own pitch guidance stresses clarity, storytelling, and team credibility. A coherent brand and deck materially improve how fast investors say yes to a meeting.

Q: How much does a pitch deck cost in Portugal?

Professional pitch deck design in Portugal runs €1,500–€8,000 as a one-off project. On Pushup's Growth plan (€800/month), a full investor deck ships inside one month with unlimited revisions — and the same subscription covers your identity and landing page.

Why Portuguese founders switch

"Orçamento sob consulta"
is not a price.

You can see the price right now

Most Lisbon studios make you book a meeting before they'll even name a number. We put ours on the page. It starts at €800/month, flat, with no surprise line items and no scope creep.

We move at your speed

A traditional branding project in Portugal can run 8–16 weeks, and your round won’t sit still that long. Your first delivery arrives in 48 hours, and a full brand comes together in weeks.

More than a logótipo

A logo on its own isn’t a brand. We start with positioning and strategy, the part that actually makes investors and customers believe you, and then we design the system around it.

Built to travel

Portugal’s home market is small, so your brand has to hold up in London, Berlin, and New York from day one. We work English-first and design for an international audience from the start.

Two ways in

Raising pre-seed,
or scaling after the round?

Lisbon’s ecosystem hit €25B in value with 4,700+ startups raising. Pushup Design works both ends of the round — the brand that gets the term sheet, and the brand that scales after it.

Pre-seed, getting the meeting

Investors like Portugal Ventures, Shilling, and Armilar see hundreds of decks and spend minutes on each one. We build the positioning, deck, identity, and landing page that make a partner think, "this team executes."

Funded, scaling the brand

After the round, your brand has to ship as fast as your product does, across the site, product UI, campaigns, and motion. One senior team keeps every channel consistent while you grow into new markets.

One subscription, either way

It’s a flat monthly fee starting at €800. You get unlimited requests and revisions in 48-hour turns, handled by senior designers and reviewed by a creative director, and you can pause or cancel any month.

Vouchers para Startups

Your branding can be 100% funded — up to €30,000.

The Startup Portugal / IAPMEI voucher (PRR) funds up to €30,000 for eligible tech startups under 10 years — and eligible expenses explicitly include brand and logo creation, marketing plans, and specialized external services. We help you prepare the application.
