Molina Katherine's Review Sourced from Google
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.
Paul Sellers's Review Sourced from Google
The SEO angle feels long term and disciplined, while still respecting that paid media drives quicker results, that balance is hard to find and they nailed it.

Arthur Palyan's Review Sourced from Google
My name is Art Pal and I run a record label as well as a financial service firm and what I've got to tell you about Dash two is that they are very responsive, they resolve issues on the spot with no hesitation, and they show you and your business the love that it deserves. I want to acknowledge Kim-Lynn for her listening, patience, and ability to be with whatever requests I had when we got our bench ads. We did 30 bench ads with Dash Two and I can honestly say, I wont go anywhere else for this kind of outdoor advertising!Art2 Faced Entertainment Studios

Patrick White's Review Sourced from Google
They just handled our branding for a gonzo popcorn brand and they were amazing at meeting us at our weird nexus of polished aesthetic, gross out humor and weirdo messaging. They are as cool as they are funny.

Steve Rice's Review Sourced from Google
As a client of Animus Digital, we could not have found a better company for our business and marketing needs. Their ability to see marketing from a holistic standpoint is unmatched, and yet be laser focused on the channels that produce the greatest returns. Jon and the Animus team are amazing to work with; this group is phenomenal at everything they do.
Jim Moss's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Jon Grogan and the team at Animus Digital has been a game changer for my business.They didn’t just build a website they helped me clarify how I show up, how I communicate value, and how I engage the right clients. From day one, Jon has approached every conversation with insight, intentionality, and a deep understanding of both business and people.Beyond the website, they’ve consulted with me on multiple marketing initiatives and recently built out a leadership assessment that has become a key tool in how I connect and serve new clients. It’s not just functional, it’s strategic, thoughtful, and aligned with the direction I’m taking my business.What sets Animus apart is their ability to combine creativity with clarity. They don’t just make things look good, they make them work.If you’re serious about growing your business and want a team that can think with you, not just for you, I highly recommend Jon and Animus Digital.
Seth Patterson's Review Sourced from Google
Animus has been helping our company transition our traditional marketing to a more digital platform. Jon is systematic and professional in his approach. We are seeing results and excited to continue the journey. Additionally, they helped modernize our website for a more polished, modern look. I highly recommend.

Experiential marketing agencies in the United States aim to forge a connection between a brand and its target audience through immersive, live, or hybrid experiences. They transform a brand's message into a tangible event, such as a pop-up shop, product launch activation, or multi-city mobile tour.
Their core function is to handle the entire logistical and creative load, allowing the client's internal team to focus on overall marketing strategy. At their core, experiential marketing campaigns are intended to drive engagement, capture high-quality leads, and create memorable moments that spur user-generated content and long-term loyalty.
Experiential marketing agencies oversee the entire process of transforming a brand's objective into a live, interactive consumer experience. They function as a single partner, managing the campaign from the initial strategy brainstorming through to the physical activation and the final data reporting.
Key services of these agencies encompass:
For a substantial, full-scale activation like a multi-day pop-up or product-promotion tour, the typical lead time from kickoff to event day is approximately 10 to 12 weeks. The initial four weeks are dedicated to discovery, strategy finalization, creative concepting, and gaining client approval on technical designs and CADs.
The bulk of the timeline, weeks five through ten, is consumed by complex logistics such as obtaining venue permits, vendor sourcing, fabrication of custom components, and hiring and training specialized staff. Clients must also factor in potential delays from slow internal budget approvals or lengthy city-specific permitting processes, which can considerably affect the overall timeline.
A standard package typically bundles three key components:
Clients should ensure their contract explicitly details ownership of all creative assets and raw consumer data collected during the experience.
United States experiential marketing agencies should have a portfolio showing adaptability across varied formats, like trade shows, street activations, and hybrid digital-physical events, not just one type of project. The case studies must clearly outline the client's original objective, the agency's creative and logistical solution, and the final results using metrics like Net Promoter Score (NPS), lead-to-sale conversion rates, or media amplification value.
Experiential marketing agencies in the United States typically do not offer traditional financial performance guarantees like a fixed cost-per-acquisition or sales lift, as event outcomes depend on external consumer behavior and environmental factors. Instead, accountability is established through strict guarantees on project deliverables, such as the quality of fabrication, adherence to the production schedule, and collection of pre-defined, measurable KPIs.
The contract will guarantee transparent and rigorous reporting on metrics like total consumer interactions, social impressions, and database opt-ins, allowing the client to calculate their own ROI. Compensation models may include performance bonuses tied to exceeding specific, achievable engagement or lead-volume targets.
