Google Ads Review from Eugene Ravitsky
Ad spend increased dramatically and cost per conversion skyrocketed. They claimed because revenue was increasing that they did their job. We add new brands weekly so revenue was growing before and after them. Cost per conversion/ROAS went into the dumps and we were unprofitable. Yet they still use us as a success case study on their website. Since then google reps took over and overhauled the structure of the campaign, saying it was clunky and wrong.

Web Design Review from Mackenzie Shriner
I contracted design in DC to build me a custom website. they were accommodating of my budget, very responsive, and gave good insight on layout, content and design. the process was very straightforward and the final product is great!
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!

Creative Services Review from Andy Blevins
Social Driver provided branding services for the merger of two national LGBTQ military & veteran nonprofits. They incorporated insight from two boards to produce a name, logo, and branding package. The deliverables have all earned high praise, with the logo and overall brand being versatile and simple. All deadlines were met and communication was a highlight. Their smooth and streamlined process helped us pull everything under the same umbrella to have a united front. I highly recommend them!
Social Media Marketing Review from David Sallee
Social Driver provided social media marketing workshops and advice for the departments on campus which were involved in social media marketing, such as alumni, athletics, and advancement. Their staff provided in-depth instruction for all appropriate staff and follow-up conversations to support their work. Social Driver has very strong technical skills. They also demonstrate a very high level of insight for applications of social media that go far beyond technical insights into human insights.
Web Design Review from Eileen Kessler
My company worked with Social Driver to redesign the UX/IA for a national scientific organization's extensive research resource that was moving from print to online. There was a tight deadline to conceptualize a new user experience and create a framework that our client could review iteratively. Our client was very pleased with the results of the new interactive framework and design. This design was used for the build of the web site which began immediately upon completion. Highly recommend!

We've worked with Thunder::tech to replace our cooperative's website. They have delivered as promised and more than expected in a professional and timely manner. Their team members are creative, technical and professional experts. We're looking forward to working on a second phase of the project with them starting soon. T::T is big enough a agency that they have multiple experts on the team with overlapping knowledge to get the job done, but not such a huge company where one might get lost as a client. As a web and digital media pro with 20+ years of experience, I recommend Thunder::tech. - JF

We used this company for our Google Advertising and after months long of disappointing results we questioned them as to why we weren't getting the expected results. Once we asked them for ad-spend breakdowns from Google, they would only send us THEIR reports. NOTHING FROM GOOGLE! We requested reports specifically from Google to review.

After over a decade struggling with an old website that was ugly and difficult to manage, Stirling worked with us to create a beautiful, modern, branded website AND taught us how to manage and maintain it. Their friendly and knowledgeable team helped us imagine what our new web presence could look like and allowed us to weigh in at every step to customize the design so it best reflected our Library. They were organized and responsive throughout the entire process. We couldn't be more happy with our choice to go with Stirling and our amazing finished product!
JCLS Marketing Team's Review Sourced from Google
Working with the Stirling team was a fantastic experience. They were communicative and collaborative. Their energy and enthusiasm made them a joy to work with and their skill and creativity assured that we got a unique one of a kind website, rather than a "out of the box" readymade product.
Mark Spencer's Review Sourced from Google
I am sad to say that I do not share the enthusiasm of the other reviewers. Mr. Stirling did an excellent job of marketing his services and prompting me to call. My company had contracted with another company to build a new website and never finished it. After some discussion with Thomas, he estimated the cost to finish was $2000. I have the agreement that states this. Unfortunately, $2000 ended up fixing one page only. He claimed that there were too many broken links to finish the job. Of course he was happy to continue work for a lot more money. Rather than insist that he finish it for the original amount agreed upon, I simply requested that we do our best on our end and that we ask a question or two as we progressed. Mr. Sterling became belligerent and accused me of trying to wangle free services. He then shut down our website (fortunately not live) until we paid in full. I will say that the staff under Mr. Sterling were delightful to work with. Unfortunately the unprofessional attitude of their boss made for a terrible experience.

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!
Tiffani Chan's Review Sourced from Google
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!

Review Account's Review Sourced from Google
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:

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.
