Video Production Review from Bryce McPartland
We were referred to colormatics by our ad people at krem. We compared pricing and products of colormatics against a number of industry-specific marketing providers. Colormatics had the strongest portfolio and, surprisingly, offered exceptional pricing.Colormatics laid out a full shoot schedule which was pre-approved. They arrived on scene early one morning and traveled across central Washington to four separate locations to make an exceptionally tight yet comprehensive video about our firm. We began around 8 am and wrapped about 430 pm.Colormatics maintained excellent lines of communication including via email, text, cell and the video editing platform that they utilized. I always felt "in the loop" with them.
Video Production Review from Allison Grunthaner Gibicsar
Colormatics has been an outstanding partner in creating a huge amount of assets needed for our biggest product launch of 2023. This includes but is not limited to: social media videos, product videos, mattress cutaway visualizations, YouTube bumpers, edited b-roll, and more. The whole team is always willing to hop on the phone or quickly answer an email, with fast asset delivery and willingness to bring forth suggestions/solves outside of their scope.
Video Production Review from Ryan Throckmorton
Our team developed the idea of showcasing individuals who are making a positive impact online within their own communities. When we shared the concept with Colormatics, they immediately explored creative ways to bring it to life visually. They transformed our vision into a compelling visual narrative.The final piece blended live-action footage with motion graphics. We conducted interviews and also wanted to highlight the social media activity of these community members. Their profiles were used as a storytelling device, appearing almost like flashbacks, but animated in a way that made the content feel like it was unfolding in real time.We’re now experimenting with turning interview voiceovers into animated illustrations. We believe these could resonate even more on social platforms. The plan was to compare performance between the two video styles, and we’re looking forward to testing them soon.

Digital Marketing Review from Sean Henke
Anderson Collaborative runs our marketing reporting, google ads, marketing, and supports our digital and print design. They feel like part of our team. Anderson Collaborative's team are sharp and on top of all the ad spend movements and tweaks, especially Nazareno and Trevor. Naz's advice regularly catches things we missed and points out dynamics for our team to chew on. Anderson Collaborative's design and editing team also adapts very well. Carolina helped us re-design our entire original cookbook to digital and hardcopy format, including an entire re-design to a different book size. Not easy to do, and they nailed it. They're now helping guide us through a TikTok Shop launch. When we disagree, they talk it through with us and we land somewhere that works. If you want an agency that cares about your business and can help in a lot of different areas, I'd recommend them highly
Digital Marketing Review from Steve Canfield
We brought Anderson Collaborative in to run Meta ads for The Curious Thing, our personalized portrait gift shop, after months of trying to figure it out on our own. On day one Trevor delivered a full funnel plan and a clean campaign structure, and he has kept sharpening it since: moving our campaigns to optimize for actual purchases, sending every ad straight to a create page with the right style and product already picked, and giving new creative its own budget so each test gets a fair read. What stands out most is how deep he goes. He dug through our pixel data and even our code to explain a shift in what customers were buying, worked out which audiences had really driven sales, and his reported numbers match our own payment records exactly. When we flag something, it gets handled quickly and explained clearly, and every update tells us what changed, why, and when we will review it. It is a genuine pleasure working with Trevor and the team. They feel like a partner who cares about our business, not just a vendor running ads. Highly recommend. Full disclosure: my wife previously worked at the agency. We now hire them directly as a paying client.
Digital Marketing Review from Wendy Watson
I highly recommend Anderson Collaborative. Trevor created a beautiful logo package for my company, Summer Salt Gymnastics. My company logo is better than I envisioned. He included horizontal and stacked versions in main colors, solid colors, and black/white for the logo package. He answered all of my messages and emails in a timely manner and put together many drafts until we reached the final product. Thank you Anderson Collaborative and Trevor for your communication, quality, and creativity.

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:

Before hiring an advertising agency in the United States, we recommend asking some of the following questions:
Every agency is independently vetted before it can be listed or ranked
Some agencies pay for sponsored placement, clearly labeled and held to the same vetting standards.
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.
