Highly recommend and would use again.

App Marketing Review from Oleg Naumov
We were looking for a company that could promote our delivery app. We had a really hard KPI and special target audience so we needed a professional agency for effective ad campaigns. By the right targeting, messaging and catchy creatives the conversion increased and CAC decreased by 20%. As a result, the volume increased by ~ 700%. We had a rather hard goal to achieve, and we were surprised how easily the Mobio team handled the task.
App Marketing Review from Sergey Devyatov
We needed a company that could promote our mobile app. Our main goals were to acquire more relevant users for our app and find alternative sources for that instead of classic ones. Mobio Team did a great campaign as a result of which we found our relevant audience and target with CPA close to KPI.
App Marketing Review from Sergey Alyautdinov
One of the main tasks of promotion was to motivate and encourage users who installed the application, but used it only once or never at all, to place an order. An advertising campaign with a multi-format showed good results: it was possible not only to achieve KPIs, but also to exceed them. CPO decreased by 51%, CR increased by 15%. Mobio really does what they promise. They have a lot of experience in our industry, so everything they did was 100% right and well-planned.

We did multiple projects with Strikepoint in 2020 and enjoyed the entire process. I would dial them up again in a heartbeat (and have). As a client, it was refreshing to have a team of pros working way ahead of me, on top of all the notes and changes, and chasing me down instead of the other way around -- which can be the case with a lot of agencies. Best of all, SPM gets direct response. They listen but aren't simply order-takers, they defend, especially Brent, creative decisions which can move projects in a surprisingly better directions that the "in-house team" didn't see.

Ethan Prochnik (Wolf)'s Review Sourced from Google
If you’re on the fence about partnering with Hawke Media, let me help nudge you over the edge. As the CEO of Kinshe Yoga—a startup brand launching innovative yoga products —I was initially skeptical about working with Hawke. With clients like Eddie Bauer, Red Bull, and Crocs, I worried we’d be too small to get their full attention. But from our very first calls, LeDoux, one of Hawke’s top executives, patiently walk us through exactly how their team could help us unlock our potential. He assured us we wouldn’t be an after thought—and proved it by negotiating a pricing plan that matched what much smaller agencies were offering for the same services. Next, we were introduced to Wakimba, Hawke’s senior media analyst. He didn’t just give generic advice from a boiler plate deck —he spent hours brainstorming and followed up with a custom strategy deck that demonstrated his deep understanding of our brand and our goals. The following week, we met with Cynthia and Sarah, Hawke’s resident social media experts. They conducted a thorough audit of our Instagram, Facebook, etc. -and then delivered a beautifully designed, 20-page custom deck packed with actionable insights—everything from color palettes and design to messaging and strategy, all illustrated with visual examples that spoke directly to our brand. Our on-boarding, wrapped up with Savannah, Hawke’s content strategist, who delivered a molecular-level analysis of our e-commerce store and writing tone. She provided yet another bespoke deck and a detailed action plan covering everything from brand storytelling and SEO to refining our value propositions. Her tagline suggestions and storytelling tweaks were next-level. In my former life I was an Emmy award-winning writer/ creator, and I honestly wish I’d known in the day —as a fixture in my writers room. Final note: Across the board, the Hawke team was smart, engaging, and fun to work with.

Been working with PromoShop LA for several years now and they never disappoint. Their team is always quick to respond to any queries and are extremely fair. Pricing, delivery, product quality - all top-notch. The real game changer though is their creativity. They've got some fresh and unique ideas for promotional items that have been a big hit for us. Highly recommended if you need quality and creative promo stuff.

We had an amazing experience working with Jerry especially on such short notice. We didn’t know if we wanted to have videography until about 1-2 weeks before the wedding. Jerry swooped in and did an amazing job. Instant film was completed and sent over the night of the wedding. Ceremony film was done within the week. Amazing turnaround speed and fantastic quality. I don’t know how he does it!

This place is incredibly disingenuous at best. Employees are all worked to the bone with no merit, no raises, no feedback and the culture is lackluster. In a world filled with its agencies, this one lags behind on all fronts.

We had a tour of the building and had our meetings at this place. The staff working there know what they are doing and were all super friendly!
Advertising agencies in California offer the same or similar services just like their US-based competitors.
However, there are several key facts that make them unique:
According to research by Otis College of Art and Design, the creative sector in California is thriving and it:
The sector includes various fields including:
The biggest creative employment sector is entertainment and digital media with 740,000 employees.
In fact, the digital media branch incorporates professional services like:
California is one of the biggest employers of advertising, promotions and marketing specialists in the US and the number of jobs in the industry amounted to 314,900 in 2019.
Thanks to its proximity to Hollywood and an entertainment sector that is booming, California advertising agencies are widely known for their creativity and innovation capacities.
California’s economy is a global powerhouse.
According to Livability, if the state was a country, it would have the sixth-largest economy in the world. And it would surpass the economies of Canada, Mexico and South Korea.
As Bloomberg states, though California is only a third the size of Japan, yet its economy is stronger. The state contributed with a GDP of $2.94 trillion in 2019.
The leading industries that drive California’s economy are:
Operating under the state’s sky, advertising agencies in California have naturally accumulated experience in these major sectors.
With a population of 39,937,500, The Golden State is home to one of the world's most diverse populations.
The five largest ethnic groups in the area are:
According to World Population Review, 55.87% of the state’s residents speak only English.
Other common languages are:
This indicates that California advertising agencies employ bilingual talent who understands the multicultural markets well.
With the rise of digital media, today’s ad agencies operate much differently than they did some 24 years ago when the first digital ad appeared.
Therefore, advertising agencies in California and all related companies in the US and beyond offer a different range of services depending on their specifications and the experts they employ.
You can outsource the following services to these types of ad agencies:
Most advertising companies in California price their services on hourly rates and time estimates.
This is the most common way of pricing projects and usually depends on a few factors like:
Based on your requirements, you can expect to pay between $25 and $1,000.
The fee per project is another alternative. In this case, California advertising agencies have preset prices for specific services.
They are usually fixed and you cannot negotiate on them. The price range for the cost per project is $1,000-$50,000+.
Some firms may also offer a result-based fee. As the name itself tells, it will depend on specific results.
Therefore, your agency partner will charge you according to the project outcome. These depend on your specific goals and may include:
These are the top three reasons why you should invest your time and money in one of the best advertising agencies in California:
Take the following seven steps to make the search for the best California advertising agency easier and quicker:
Advertising agencies in California provide a number of different services. These range from traditional advertising techniques to more innovative, digital marketing initiatives.
But all of these services are aimed at boosting your bottom line and hitting key business goals.
When signing on an ad agency, you want to make sure that they can complete your tasks and achieve the results you’ve outlined. You might know exactly what services these will require.
But even if you don’t, you’ll want to make sure that the agency on hand has the ability to work across a variety of channels and platforms.
Advertising covers a very broad spectrum. It includes everything from print ads to social media posts, PPC campaigns, branded campaigns and more.
Ask potential advertising agencies in California what capabilities they have. Find out what services they provide and what members of their team specialize in those certain tasks.
This will give you peace of mind and ensure that this relationship can continue as your advertising and marketing needs change.
Proper communication plays a key role in business partnerships. It can boost productivity, ease collaboration and ultimately ensure your project success.
This is why you need to make certain you pick a partner that communicates effectively with you and your team members.
The agency you hire should be able to communicate necessary updates, progress and results. And, they should do that in an organized way and in a timely manner.
They should define communication channels, a project manager and contact person from the very beginning of the project.
This will ensure your brand identity constantly stays in the loop.
And it will also alleviate any fears and concerns your team might have about the state of your project.
Looking at an agency’s past work can give you an idea as to:
Portfolios will showcase each company’s strengths and successes but also point out their weaknesses.
Their previous work will speak volumes about:
...above all, they will tell you about the agency’s industry expertise.
While having experience in a specific niche should not be a determining factor, yet the company that has worked on similar projects will have a deep understanding of your target market, audience and competition.
With this knowledge in hand, they can create customized advertising campaigns that meet your business demands and land in front of your prospects.
The ultimate goals of advertising are more revenue, higher sales and increased conversions.
However, for you to see a positive return on investment (ROI), you need to partner with an agency that develops strategies based on previous experiences but also unique insights.
They should build personalized campaigns with your brand, target audience and overall business goals in mind.
In other words, they should be data-driven and decide which tactics to use only after they gather meaningful information and look at the analytics of your current performance and marketing efforts.
Both traditional advertising and, especially, digital advertising depend on specific tools, apps and software.
They help advertising agencies in California:
Using premium tools like SEMrush, Canva and Reporting Ninja can help these agencies develop winning strategies.
So, make sure you understand whether the partner you hire uses similar tools since they can give you a leg up on your competitors.
The agency you hire should first and foremost set the right KPIs. Based on your business goals, they may be:
With these measurable values in mind, your partner will be able to select the right medium and recommend a budget for your upcoming project.
Then, once the campaigns go live, they should count on different platforms to track their progress.
Your agency should keep you up to date with the campaign progress and provide you with analytical reports on their performance.
No matter how reputable the best advertising agencies in California are, you are always paying for their team members.
So, you should know who will be working on your project, what their qualifications are and how they will contribute to your company.
Ask about their specific responsibilities and their level of experience. Learn more about who they are, what past campaigns they’ve worked on and what they will add to your specific campaign.
Those experts who will work on your project should be passionate, knowledgeable and have the relevant expertise and experience to execute your campaigns.
Set interviews with the prospective advertising agencies in California and ask them the following key questions:
