SmartSites impressed me from day one. They are knowledgable, kind, and most importantly keep things simple and streamlined so that even an SEO-newb like me can understand. Tiffany and Luna are my main points of contact and they are especially great! I would recommend to anyone looking for an agency to really take their website and digital presence to the next level.

At first, a survey was conducted to gather company background, product information, target markets, etc. Next, accounts were established on various Google Business platforms, social media, etc. Then SmartSites created the ads and campaigns, and we were off and running in just a few weeks.

Web Design Review from Jo Maney
DDC has been an excellent partner since we engaged with them in 2023. The DDC team worked with us to completely redesign our website and work to provide ongoing digital marketing services. The DDC team has been responsive, proactive, and thorough with their work. They are also very transparent about how they operate and how much time special projects will require. We have referred DDC to several clients and partners thanks to their outstanding process and product. DDC is a very professional, creative, and well-organized team.
Web Design Review from Sapna Doshi, Ph.D.
My experience working with Design in DC was incredible. Everyone was friendly, approachable, and seemed to genuinely care about helping create the best possible website for my business. They were also invested in making sure the process was one in which I enjoyed and felt taken care of. The regular meetings made me feel like I was a priority and that progress was continually being made. I so appreciated the attention to detail in regards to the user experience. The collaboration in understanding my wishes and desires for the website and user experience was met with patience and paying attention to detail on my behalf. Not only were they taking my suggestions but offering their own to help me maximize the potential of my website. The design and functionality is more than what I could have imagined. I know, undoubtedly, that the work that Design in DC did for me will help my business grow. After wasting money in years past on website designers, I was worried I'd be doing hte same here. I was wrong. I don't think I'll ever need to search for another website designer group again. I would recommend this group to anyone I know. Thank you, Design in DC! It was an absolute pleasure working with all of you!

As a result, the volume increased by ~ 700%.We had a rather hard goal to achieve, and we were surprised how easily the Mobio team handled the task.
App Marketing Review from Sergey Devyatov
We needed a company that could promote our mobile app. Our main goals were to acquire more relevant users for our app and find alternative sources for that instead of classic ones.Mobio Team did a great campaign as a result of which we found our relevant audience and target with CPA close to KPI.

One of the main tasks of promotion was to motivate and encourage users who installed the application, but used it only once or never at all, to place an order. An advertising campaign with a multi-format showed good results: it was possible not only to achieve KPIs, but also to exceed them. CPO decreased by 51%, CR increased by 15%.Mobio really does what they promise. They have a lot of experience in our industry, so everything they did was 100% right and well-planned.

United States advertising companies prepare promotional campaigns for channels like search, social, connected TV, retail media, and out-of-home.
In essence, they help businesses turn attention into visibility, demand, sales, and sustained brand equity.
By orchestrating campaigns across multiple touchpoints, B2B advertising agencies enable companies to reach customers where they actually spend time and optimize each dollar invested.
In the last decade, advertising hasn’t stopped seizing momentum.
Global ad spending (excluding US political ads) is forecast to reach $1.14 trillion in 2025, with digital advertising capturing around 72.7% of that spend.
According to Gartner, companies allocate around 7.7% of total company revenue to marketing and advertising.
The US remains the world’s biggest ad market, with spending on track to hit $455.9 billion by 2025.
TV and video account for the largest segment, accounting for$353.9 billion of the ad spend.
Additionally, programmatic ads are expected to drive 85% of industry revenue, reinforcing their role at the center of modern advertising.
When broken down by industry, the numbers show a clear preference toward digital.
Over 80% of US ad spend across tech/electronics (87.1%), retail (82.9%), and consumer packaged goods (80.2%) niche is allocated for digital media.
Tech and electronics companies rarely invest in traditional advertising, putting only 12.9% of their budget into print, radio, TV, or OOH.
Retail isn’t far behind, with just 17.1% of the ad spend going to legacy formats.
The timeline for top advertising agencies to complete a project in the US depends on the type of ad.
For performance creative work, agencies can usually launch testable ads within 7-14 business days after onboarding, if the assets and brand guidelines have been defined. Here’s a breakdown of the timeline:
By comparison, full production campaigns (video/TV-style commercials), i.e., ads that require filming and heavier production, can be delivered within 4 to 8 weeks. Namely, it takes:

Leading advertising agencies in the United States plan, create, and launch compelling advertising campaigns across digital and traditional media channels to amplify businesses’ brand awareness, customer engagement, digital presence, and sales.
According to our market analysis, the most prominent service offerings for online advertising companies in the US include:
Advertising costs in the US start from $900 for digital campaigns and can go as high as $100,000 for TV ads. The pricing depends on the region, platform, campaign, reach, targeting, creative quality, and the channel.
Overall, the estimates present a stark contrast between the high, fixed expense of traditional television and the flexible options in digital media.
| Type of media channel | Platform / campaign type | Cost |
| Traditional | Television ads (local production) | Start at ~$1,000 |
| Traditional | Television ads (national campaigns) | Up to $8 million (average 30-second national ad costs around $350,000) |
| Digital | Facebook campaigns | $2,500 – $9,000 per month |
| Digital | LinkedIn campaigns | $2,000 – $4,000 per month |
| Digital | Instagram campaigns | $1,000 – $1,600 per month |
| Digital | X (formerly Twitter) campaigns | $900 – $1,600 per month |
| Digital | Google Ads (banner ads) | $1 – $3 per click (CPC) or $2 – $5 per thousand impressions (CPM) |
| Digital | Programmatic ads | Generally start around $2 per thousand impressions (CPM) |
The expected time to realize a return on investment (ROI) from advertising depends on the specific channel:
Approximate timeframes for advertising projects are:
Depending on the platform, top ad agencies typically update creatives every 2-6 weeks, while targeting and bid/keyword adjustments are often reviewed weekly.
Here’s how often other ads are typically updates once a campaign is live:
Generally, updates are prompted by creative fatigue or targeting inefficiencies, i.e., when click-through rates drop, cost per acquisition rises, or conversion rates fall.
