      Marketing Strategy Review from Joe Novara

      I've had the pleasure to know Wendy Coulter and the team at Hummingbird Creative Group for well over a decade. During this time, I've owned two businesses, both of which have engaged with Hummingbird at different levels. The professionalism, knowledge of their industry and outside the box thinking are what makes Wendy and the rest of her team stand out within their industry. In my current business, we have used Hummingbird to help us get our messaging down and develop a brand that professionals remember and want to refer. The process was far deeper than I expected and I learned about my own business in ways I wouldn't have believed. Hummingbird has always been an easy referral for me and the rest of my team. I look forward to referring them many times for many years in the future.

      5 Stars isn't enough! The creative team at Hummingbird took our ideas and process for nutrition and weight loss which (we were delivering in a less than fancy word doc!) and transformed it into a beautifully branded website with fantastic copy and a GREAT message. The entire process with Wendy and Dianne was easy from the initial meeting. What we love about Hummingbird is their ability to pull out what you do and put it into a visual package which sells! Our site and collateral materials are fresh and beautiful! Worth every penny. Thank you!!

      Paul Immanuel's Review Sourced from Google

      The Hummingbird Creative Group is a very unique company. They take the time to understand your business as well as the people behind it. They then look at your product, understand why a set of customers might need the product. They help you market the product to your target market with state of the art websites, steady social media interactions, eye catching flyers and support you in every way. It has been a joy interacting with their founder and CEO, Wendy Coulter who is able to communicate the message that you want her to communicate to all groups of people. She understands all age groups and understands what is going on in most industries. I have recommended her business to many --without reservations!

      What can I say? Josh and DOL are the best. The best copy, the best ideas, the best strategy. Josh and his team helped us up-level our work to be as good as any Fortune 100 global consumer brand. I love his fresh thinking, concise writing and bold approach to grabbing attention in a world where that is the name of the game. Cannot recommend them more highly.

      Mad Dandy is a San Francisco-based startup. Division of Labor is our advertising agency and they helped up build and launch our brand from the ground up. They designed our logo and packaging and built our brand voice and messaging plan. Division of Labor handled our social media and video creation along with all our event signage and out of home. For a startup like us, its been great working with these folks. Cant say enough good things about their creativity and strategic thinking.

      Digital Marketing Review from Michael Margolis

      We engaged Division of Labor as our boutique advertising partner for Michigan Healthcare Professionals, and we were absolutely blown away by the results. Not only did the campaigns resonate deeply they elevated our branding and connected exceptionally well with our target audience. The work they delivered didn't just look great it performed. The campaign not only helped improve patient outcomes but also effectively promoted the benefits of utilizing non-facility-based imaging and laboratory testing. The messaging was clear, compelling, and perfectly aligned with our strategic goals. What impressed us most was how far beyond expectations Division of Labor went. Their creativity, responsiveness, and can-do attitude made working with them an absolute pleasure. No matter the challenge, their mindset is essentially: If theres a question, the answer is yes just tell us what the question is. We couldn't be more satisfied with the partnership and results, and we highly recommend Division of Labor to any organization seeking thoughtful, impactful, and results-driven marketing.

      Mediamark team in a short time helped us to become one of the most discussed brands in the social media. These guys have a special flair for marketing: having huge experience in product promotion, they not only prepare creative posts, but also develop the entire off-line sales strategy, which I value most in our cooperation. “Nothing is impossible!” - this is how we can describe our work in three words. Talented and energetic, they are the best partner any company could wish for!

      Sarah at Aloide worked with our association to build a website designed to share technical information to a targeted audience. She exceeded our expectations! Not only did she have a creative vision, but she was meticulous with keeping the process and content organized, writing content that perfectly meshed with the "personality" of the site, stayed within budget, was ahead of timeline, and did I mention, even created a tutorial video to aid us in maintaining the website when her work is done. I HIGHLY recommend Aloide. I already have plans to utlize Aloide for other communication related projects.

DesignRush sustains a directory of over 40,000 agencies categorized by service category, location, expertise, and reviews. We build our database in two ways:

  • Our dedicated team of agency experts actively searches the web for top-performing companies. We then pull information from their websites, online presence, and client testimonials to verify their status and qualifications prior to listing.
  • The agencies listed get notified of their profiles on the website and they can choose to claim it or not, which suggests their availability for more collaborations.

Agencies can also reach out to DesignRush and must go through the verification process prior to being listed.

Radio Advertising Agency in United States FAQs

What do radio advertising agencies in the United States company do?

Radio advertising agencies in the United States are creative promo firms focused on audio channels. They conduct granular audience segmentation and market analysis to develop a media plan that strategically allocates budget across terrestrial AM/FM, satellite, and digital streaming audio platforms for optimal reach and frequency within defined demographic targets.  

As part of the service, they oversee the entire campaign, including the production of high-fidelity audio spots (jingles, live reads, produced narratives), negotiation of spot placement and rates, and post-campaign attribution modeling. Their core function is to use their niche knowledge of dayparting and Nielsen Audio ratings to ensure the client's commercial message delivers a maximum ROI by reaching the most qualified listeners. 

What information do I need to provide to a radio advertising firm?

When commencing a partnership with a radio advertising firm, you first need to provide a clear, quantifiable advertising objective, such as increasing brand awareness by X% or obtaining X number of sales leads, to define the campaign's mission. Equally important, you must detail your specific target audience demographics, psychographics, and their listening habits to select appropriate stations and airtime.  

You will also need to define the core message together, i.e., the main call-to-action, along a realistic budget and timeline to scope the ad length, frequency, and production quality effectively. Finally, include any existing brand assets like taglines, jingles, or desired tone to maintain brand consistency. 

How much do radio advertising services in the US cost?

The total cost for radio advertising services in the US can vary wildly, with individual spots ranging from as low as $5 on very small stations to over $8,000 for prime-time ads in major markets. When compared to television, radio often offers a significantly lower cost-per-thousand (CPM), typically between $10 and $20, making it a relatively more cost-efficient medium for reaching a broad audience.  

Primary factors impacting this price include the market size, the ad's placement in high-demand "dayparts" (like morning drive), the length of the spot, and the required frequency to achieve high reach goals. Additionally, production costs, including professional voice talent and jingles, must be factored into the final advertising budget. 

How do United States radio advertising agencies measure project success?

United States radio advertising agencies primarily measure success by calculating the return on ad spend (ROAS), which involves tracking the incremental revenue directly attributable to the radio campaign. This attribution is often nuanced, relying on digital metrics like spikes in branded Google searches, website traffic, or dedicated landing page visits occurring within minutes of an ad's airtime, using geo-fencing or sophisticated attribution software.  

For awareness campaigns, they rely on traditional metrics such as reach and frequency data, alongside pre- and post-campaign brand lift surveys to measure changes in brand recall and perception. These agencies also use unique tracking mechanisms, like specific promo codes, dedicated phone numbers, or different regional URLs, to isolate the radio ad's direct impact from other marketing channels for an accurate, non-misattributed result. 

What questions should I ask a radio advertising agency in the United States before hiring?

Beyond simply asking about pricing, you should ask some of the following questions to make sure the candidate is a good fit for the project: 

  1. What is your process for selecting specific radio stations and time slots for our target demographic? 
  2. Can you provide a minimum of two relevant case studies or client references from businesses in our industry or with similar marketing challenges? 
  3. What level of audio production is included in the cost? 
  4. What are the key performance indicators (KPIs) you will track for our campaign, and how frequently will we receive performance reports?  
  5. Will our entire budget be spent on media, or are there separate fees for media buying, strategy, and creative services?  
  6. What is your policy on working with our direct competitors?
