Director at Restaurant Brands International
5.0★
PPC Review from Bravira Abadi
We wanted professional digital marketing help for our search engine marketing efforts through PPC management. They've done various aspects of Digital marketing, including PPC. From the beginning, we've been very pleased. While we were a little uneasy about offloading our PPC accounts to an external provider, they've handled it professionally from day one. They've done very well. We have regular meetings with them where we review progress. The communication, whether via email or an online meeting, is timely and professional.

Matthew De Vito's Review Sourced from Google
Josh and team bring their hard hat and lunch box to work every day. They grind, they constantly search for ways to improve, and they excel at showcasing the value their clients have to offer. All firms are stronger in some areas than others. Estes' ability to leverage their network of clients and partners to mutually benefit each elegantly rounds out a holistic approach that's about more than just digital buzz words. They aim to continually build up trust over time, and are as interested in what we do today as the day we began working with them. That's pushed us to match their enthusiasm and effort, ultimately propelling us towards accomplishing the goals we first laid out. They will hold you accountable to work on your business, not just in it.

Working with Estes Media has been nothing short of exceptional. They’ve proven to be an outstanding partner across branding, advertising, and social media — bringing a creative edge and strategic focus that’s rare to find.
From the start, they helped us develop high-quality, engaging content that truly resonates with our audience. Their team is not only incredibly talented and creative but also a true pleasure to work with. Honestly, they’re the ones keeping us on track — consistently following up and driving projects forward.
If you’re in the construction industry and looking for a marketing agency that gets it, look no further. Estes Media is hands-down the best in the business. Highly recommend!

Experiential Marketing Agency in the United State FAQs
What do experiential marketing agencies in the United States do?
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.
What services does an experiential marketing agency provide?
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:
Creative concepting and ideation
3D design and rendering (CADs)
Custom fabrication and production
Venue scouting and procurement
Permitting and legal compliance
Logistics and shipping management
Staffing and brand ambassador management
On-site event execution and management
Data capture and lead generation
Post-event reporting
How long does an experiential marketing project usually take?
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.
What's included in a typical experiential marketing service package?
A standard package typically bundles three key components:
Creative and strategy - covers audience profiling, ideation, and design mock-ups;
Production and logistics - includes fabrication, venue procurement, permits, and on-site build/dismantle;
Staffing and post-event reporting - refers to the final measurement report detailing key performance indicators (KPIs) like visitor count, dwell time, social media impressions, and lead capture data.
Clients should ensure their contract explicitly details ownership of all creative assets and raw consumer data collected during the experience.
What kind of portfolio should United States experiential marketing agencies have?
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.
Do experiential marketing agencies in the United States provide performance guarantees?
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.
