SEO Review from Donna Bliss
I've worked with many agencies over the years, but Open Moves is the first company where I have complete confidence and trust that they are looking out for what is best for the business. They know as much, if not more than I do, about our business and provide intelligent, strategic guidance on all fronts: SEO, paid search, and paid social. They are constantly monitoring, analyzing, and optimizing our account--which honestly is very complex. I can rest better knowing they are handling the digital
PPC Review from Tyler Kirkland
We worked with Open Moves to design multiple PPC strategies in the US (we are an International Client). Unlike other agencies that provided out-of-the-box solutions, Open Moves took the time to understand our business and product and designed a customized strategy that allowed us to leverage our strengths. We have been extremely impressed with OM and their ability to iterate on the strategy as we have adjusted our goals. When it comes to PPC strategy and execution, OM gets a 10/10 on both.
SEO Review from Jennifer Fiocca
OpenMoves delivers the partnership we need - always coming with insights and new ideas. They take the time to understand our business and our company in particular, even as it evolves, and they leverage their industry expertise to deliver results. We work closely together to analyze the metrics, dive deep into the leads being generated, explore what is working, and strategize on what needs to be adjusted. They always explain the rationale behind the advice and take time to answer questions.

Digital Marketing Review from Ken Carnesi
Evan was wonderful to work with. We had a quite complex project and found that he was able to dive in, solve our problems and was very helpful in getting on the phone with us when we needed it.
Digital Marketing Review from Joe Lopardo
Evan was a pleasure to work with. He’s quick response, attention to detail, and straight up results have me and my team very happy. Highly recommend!
Digital Marketing Review from Johnny Page
He helped take a lot of the guesswork out of the process. It was really nice having someone with experience to guide us through the pros and cons of various methods. There is so much built into both advertising platforms and Evan helped us shorten the learning curve and capture a 4x return on ad spend in the first month.

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.
