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.

We contacted the PreApps agency to optimize our App. The scope of work included a comprehensive approach to improving the app's visibility, recommendations for optimizing and converting site traffic into installs, and increased downloads and improved user feedback through app metadata optimization in app stores; comprehensive analytical reports on the effectiveness
Throughout our collaboration with the PreApps agency, we had clear and transparent communication, regular updates and reports, and all time frames, deadlines, and plans were met. At the same time, agency staff were flexible and open to feedback and recommendations, offering solutions and adjustments when needed. They were quick to respond to all needs, concerns, and requests for information, and provided support once the optimization strategy was
PreApps' work stands out for its comprehensive approach, which takes into account everything from keywords and phrases to increasing visual elements and user engagement. We particularly like their personalized approach and continued support once the optimization is launched.

I have had the pleasure of working with Glenn and his team many times over the last 6 years. As a strategic marketing consultant, having a reliable, strategic and affordable creative partner is critical. Sagon-Phior is my go-to for clients looking for a brand launch, refresh or just high quality design.

James Colford's Review Sourced from Google
This review has been a longtime coming.
I have had the pleasure of working with both Rio and more recently Glenn on countless branding and marketing projects for financial services, healthcare and technology clients. Every time I bring them onto a project, they feel like an extension of both my team and the client. To them its more than just another project.
Because of that, they're my go-to creative partners any time I need to explore a new brand direction with a client or need additional expertise on strategic marketing execution. They have decades of industry experience and produce quality creative.
I think they're a good fit if you're looking to reach your audience on a deeper level and create a long lasting impression with your customer base.

I've been in the industry for 30+ years, and have worked with many talented agencies in my time, but Sagon-Phior goes above and beyond to ensure your business reaches its targets with precision, efficiency and creativity leading to high impact results. I can't say enough wonderful things about them and their team. If you want to grow your business, call them!

Agency Squid Reviews & Testimonials

Branding Review from Shira S
We partnered with Agency Squid to refine and elevate our brand identity for a SaaS platform in the B2B space. Operating in a competitive landscape, we needed strong positioning, messaging clarity, and a compelling visual presence to stand out.
From the very beginning, the Agency Squid team demonstrated a deep understanding of our market, challenges, and goals. They asked the right questions, offered valuable strategic insights, and walked us through a structured branding process that was both collaborative and efficient.
The outcome was a refreshed brand strategy that clearly communicates our core value, differentiators, and relevance to our target audience. We received high-impact messaging frameworks and creative assets that are now integrated into our website, sales materials, and marketing campaigns.
What we appreciated most was their thoughtful, ego-free approach and consistent responsiveness. Every milestone was met on time, and they were always open to feedback, ensuring we were aligned throughout the project.
This branding work has already improved our sales conversations, marketing performance, and overall brand perception. It was a seamless and professional experience, and were excited to continue working with Agency Squid in the future.

Agency Squid is truly unlike any other ad agency out there. There is no ego involved and they listen to what their clients needs are while still challenging them to think about things differently. The smaller but mighty team is well rounded and each bring a different perspective to the table. I would recommend them for any design/marketing, product promotion or special project. Doesn’t hurt that their workplace is so cool too!

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.
