From day one, they got our brand's not just the look and feel, but who were trying to reach and how to actually convert clicks into real customers.

Creative Services Review from Kristie Reed
I have worked with Jacob Tyler for the past four years starting with a company rebrand and then moving into website development, video development, PowerPoint decks, print brochures and email campaigns. They have done a phenomenal job of understanding our business and really helped us move the needle under our corporate owner, Novartis. I highly recommend this team.

I've worked with Les and Jacob Tyler since early 2022. Together, we spent more than a year working on the strategic development of our website; they approached our project with patience, understanding, flexibility, creativity, and collaboration. The entire Jacob Tyler team has been, and continues to be, an excellent creative partner, trusted advisor, and extension of Dempsey's marketing team. I cannot recommend working with them enough.
Cristin Smith's Review Sourced from Google
We recently worked with Jacob Tyler Agency on a direct mail campaign, and the experience exceeded every expectation. Their personalized approach, attention to detail, and commitment to understanding our brand’s voice and mission truly set them apart from other creative agencies. The design work was stunning, modern, and perfectly aligned with our holistic health aesthetic. Their team took the time to learn our goals, audience, and messaging, and delivered a mailer that was not only visually beautiful but strategically effective. We’ve already noticed increased engagement and positive feedback from our community. What really stood out was their collaborative process, fast communication, and ability to translate complex ideas into clean, compelling creative. From concept development to print-ready execution, everything felt seamless, professional, and high-quality. If you’re looking for a top-tier branding agency, creative design studio, or marketing partner that delivers high-impact design, strong strategy, and exceptional service, Jacob Tyler is the team you want.

Kate Nelson's Review Sourced from Google
We have been working with Youtech for several months now for a website rebuild and paid advertisement management (company is in the home services industry). Youtech's team did a great job working through the website rebuild process in a streamlined way that incorporated a lot of communication with our team, with great channels for providing feedback along the way. Our ongoing relationship with them for PPC/paid ad management has been a big improvement compared to other experiences we've had with similar firms. Before working with Youtech we had issues with lack of transparency around lead tracking, campaign attribution, and never felt that we had a clear handle on how our campaigns were really performing. With Youtech we have a dashboard that summarizes everything, as well as tracking for individual leads, which we have synced up to our CRM so we have real time feedback on how these opportunities are panning out, making it much easier to adjust campaigns in a regular basis. They have also accommodated weekly check-ins which allow us to stay on top of performance, rather than a monthly meeting where we may be making decisions or seeing trends too late in the game. We have seen a big turnaround in our cost per lead and overall paid-ad marketing cost as a result, definitely a win for our company!

Advertising Review from Damian Ross
I worked with WKND Digital for 9 months. During the first 2 months they had the A team on the job, but after they failed to beat our current ROI Benchmark or Scale, they foisted us on the B and then the C team. The result was even worse results, tripled delivery times and stopped sending us creative for review. We later discovered the creative had misspelled and was way off message. Yes they're suing (2 years later) me because I canceled in November 2021 and they want to get paid for 12/21.
Mark Wood's Review Sourced from Google
The WKND team not only helped us position our online store in the competitive water filtration market but also optimized our business operations beyond just marketing. We now have an amazing, streamlined system that’s been working great for the past 2 years. We’re still working with them and couldn’t have picked anyone better. While we wasted a lot of money with other companies in the past, these guys were the only ones who truly cared and helped our company grow as planned. Thank you for all the hard work, guys—I’m grateful!

Support was spot-on, allowing us to focus on making the most of the show. Marta was super helpful when we’re in a crunch during set up. We even had Jose, the CEO, reach out to us to see if there was anything else the company could do. Truly top notch customer service.

Eleanor Davis's Review Sourced from Google
If I could give more stars, I would. I recently worked with Corduroy on two separate documentary-style video series. Both projects involved challenging and complicated content, quick timelines, and a lot of creative problem solving. Corduroy blew me out of the water with their energy, enthusiasm, creativity, and their willingness to educate themselves and become deeply familiar with our programming and the subject matter before the process had even begun. Not only that, but they were incredible listeners - always genuinely asking for and receiving feedback, and looking to me and my team as the experts on the subject matter of the videos. Working with Corduroy felt like a real creative partnership in a way that it hasn't always with other video production companies I've worked with. And, to top it all off, they are wildly talented. The videos they produced for us are incredibly beautiful - the footage is gorgeous, they hit all the perfect key points, and the videos are educational and effective at teaching as much as they are inspiring and moving. The team is a joy to work with and talented to boot - can't recommend them highly enough!

From the proposal stage to the final video, everyone at Corduroy were great to work with. We couldn't trust them more with producing a video that would evoke the emotions and motivation from our audience to learn more about our outreach programs. Brandon, our Producer and Director was fantastic throughout the project and we are so pleased with how he and his team transformed the untold stories of our participants into a moving and inspirational video. We definitely hope there will be more opportunities to collaborate again in the near future!

I’m deeply disappointed with Didit’s performance in marketing. Despite multiple account representatives, they consistently failed to grasp our brand and industry. Excuses were abundant, despite us raising concerns before signing. Upon termination notice, their services dwindled, almost becoming nonexistent during the remaining period in our contract. Their inability to execute and fulfill obligations during the notice period is unacceptable. Steer clear of Didit for any marketing needs; they simply don’t deliver.
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:

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.
