The SEO side feels long term and structured, it is presented like a system you build and improve over time, which feels more trustworthy than shortcut promises.
Bradley Weight's Review Sourced from Google
The PPC messaging feels grounded in real optimization work, like the focus is on tightening targeting, improving relevance, and steadily pushing performance instead of chasing quick hype wins.

I truly value Hawke Media as a partner agency which has been working with our brand for the last 8 months. Our designated account manager Taylor Holt always goes an extra mile. She is not only an expert in her field, but she truly shows a passion for what she does and sincerely cares about a success of our brand. Also, it has been a pleasure to work with Cynthia Soowal, who supports us whenever it is needed. Thank you, Hawke Media team, for helping us every step of the way of growing our brand.

Working with Hawke Media has been a great experience! Their team is knowledgeable, proactive, and truly invested in helping clients succeed. I’ve especially enjoyed working with Taylor and Cynthia—both are incredibly responsive, helpful, and consistently go above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. You can really tell they care about delivering the best results. Highly recommend Hawke Media if you're looking for a reliable and supportive marketing partner!
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.

John Doe's Review Sourced from Google
This marketing agency presents itself as a comprehensive digital solution for businesses, offering services like website design, ad marketing, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) strategies, and other online promotional tools. At first glance, their pitch is incredibly polished and convincing. They claim to possess unparalleled expertise in driving traffic, increasing conversion rates, and delivering robust marketing campaigns that ensure measurable growth for their clients. However, a closer look at their practices reveals a different story—one rife with misleading promises, hidden agendas, and questionable business ethics. The agency uses aggressive sales tactics, promising impressive results such as significant lead generation, increased online visibility, and substantial ROI (Return on Investment) within short timeframes. Their contracts often tout seemingly irresistible offers, claiming that a significant portion of the money paid by clients will go directly toward ad spend on platforms like Google, Facebook, or Instagram. These claims create a facade of transparency, instilling trust and enticing businesses to sign contracts without fully understanding the implications. Once the contract is signed, clients quickly realize they are locked into long-term agreements with hefty financial obligations. The agency enforces these agreements rigorously, often using legal threats to ensure compliance, regardless of whether they deliver on their promises. This “ironclad” contract structure prevents dissatisfied clients from easily backing out, effectively trapping them in a cycle of payments. More alarmingly, the funds earmarked for ad campaigns often never reach their intended destination. Clients are led to believe their money is being invested in data-driven, targeted advertising strategies designed to grow their business. In reality, these funds are allegedly redirected to finance unrelated ventures or personal business opportunities spearheaded by the agency’s leadership, particularly Adrien. The promised ad campaigns are either grossly underfunded or nonexistent, leaving clients with little to no return on their investment. As complaints mount, the agency employs deflection tactics, blaming the lack of results on external factors such as market conditions, algorithm changes, or even the clients themselves. Additionally, the company goes to great lengths to erase evidence of dissatisfaction by frequently changing its Google profile and business name to evade truthful reviews. The few five-star reviews that remain are often posted by friends and family of the agency, painting a misleading picture of its credibility and effectiveness. This blame-shifting approach, combined with the restrictive contracts, leaves clients feeling powerless, frustrated, and misled.
Joe Kaba's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Adrian has been a transformative experience for both my personal growth and professional development. His expertise in marketing and design, combined with his unique ability to boost confidence, has elevated my consulting capabilities to new heights. Adrian possesses a rare blend of empathy, knowledge, and skill, making him an exceptional mentor. His guidance was pivotal in refining my marketing strategies and enhancing my self-assurance as a designer. I'm immensely grateful for the positive impact Adrian has had on my career and cannot recommend him highly enough. Truly a 5-star mentor!
Chad Thomas's Review Sourced from Google
This is an honest review and I am not trying to punish Adrian Agency, but know that good quality reviews help businesses! I hired Adrian Agency In September 2023 with the intention to run ads to increase sales and potentially try to put some of that additional income into SEO work. Along the way we had some good website changes that they were able to make and they always did those quickly, and did a great job on those. So concerning the ads - at this time I had been working with them for around 10-11 weeks and I did not see one sale that came from the ads that were being run. I contacted them telling them I wanted to cancel my contract with them. They then told me the sales were secondary and that I had a contract with them and have to give a 60 day notice in order to cancel. So I am supposed to continue paying them to manage the ads and spend my money on the ads with no sales? I told them that if they could show me any sales came from the ads they ran I would move forward paying for the additional time to run the ads. They told me they would take the 60 day cancellation policy down to 30 days, but that's the final deal, and they still could not show me any sales coming from the ads. This is not even reasonable if they are not able to show me they are producing any sales at all! About 3 weeks after parting ways I got an invoice from Chris for $1800+ with very minimal details on what it was actually for ("hourly development work") and was given a hard time when I asked for more information showing what I was paying for. The response was "normally this is how we send invoices, and no one has ever complained." I guess most people just pay for large invoices and not even ask for justification showing what they are for. In summary: they do great website work, with ads management make sure they set up the tracking properly to show you the analytics, I would definitely not sign a long term contract with no accountability if sales are not produced, and make sure you know what you are paying for on the invoices (not saying anyone was lying just so you know in detail what the logged hours are for). Hopefully this review can be used to better serve your clients in the future and to also help equip the client to make a good decision for their business.

They just blamed Canada Post instead of looking in the mirror. Amazon was amazing and issued a refund immediately. Will never deal with these guys again so be leary of these people. And I see they are still blaming Canada Post. Maybe they should be more in touch with National happenings in Canada!

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.

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.
