      eCommerce Review from Anthony Hernandez

      The Quimby team provides actionable insights based on data driven reporting. From our partnership, we have been able to strategically plan and act on content recommendations that aim to move the needle. The team is very responsive and is willing to adjust strategies based off our goals and results.

      Social Media Marketing Review from Marc "Jake" Jacobson

      The Quimby Team has been great to work with. I challenged them launching Social Media Platforms for a 45-year old, multi-faceted apparel manufacturer that sells both wholesale + direct-to-consumer, that has never been active on Social and has never truly marketed itself. And, a significant part of our business is Sports Licensed Apparel + Golf, where we Sponsor PGA and LPGA Golfers. So, a lot of our social strategy happens in REAL-TIME. This is an INCREDIBLE CHALLENGE for anyone! Overall, they have done a really terrific job! Our best work comes with planning and collaboration, as well as being reactionary to real-time sports event results. Together, we have developed a strong creative + messaging platform that provides brand consistency. We have also developed realistic KPI's. And, Quimby has delivered on all.

Advertising Agency FAQs

What services do the best advertising agencies in the United States provide?

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: 

  • Media planning and buying is the largest revenue-generating segment for agencies, representing approximately 40% of industry revenue in the traditional advertising services sector. 
  • Creative services comprise another core offering of traditional agencies, accounting for approximately 35% of their revenue. 
  • Search advertising, including SEO and SEM, remains the single largest service offering within digital advertising, capturing over 24.1% of the total market share. 
  • Social media advertising is a major and rapidly growing segment, with ad spending in the US social media advertising market expected to reach $95.70 billion in 2025. 

How much do these services typically cost?

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) 

When can clients expect ROI from advertising?

The expected time to realize a return on investment (ROI) from advertising depends on the specific channel: 

  • Paid ads (Google, Meta, LinkedIn) can generate visible results within days/weeks, with lead flow increasing immediately as the campaign begins. 
  • Email campaigns and remarketing re-engage warm audiences and existing contacts for early conversions and quick ROI. 
  • Content marketing and SEO begin driving consistent traffic, organic leads, and compounding ROI in the 6-12-month range. 
  • Thought leadership promotion (blogs, webinars, YouTube videos) builds brand authority and returns value within six months to a year. 

What are the typical timelines for advertising projects from initial planning to launch complexity levels?

Approximate timeframes for advertising projects are: 

  • Smaller campaigns usually take 4 to 8 weeks from the discovery meeting to launch. 
  • More complex campaigns that require deeper audience research, new creative asset development, and multiple platform configurations can stretch further because each stage adds time: 
    • Kick-off and alignment (1-2 weeks) 
    • Audience research (2-3 weeks) 
    • Creative development (2-4 weeks) 
    • Platform setup (3-4 weeks) 
    • Testing and launch (4-6 weeks) 

How often do the advertising firms update targeting data and creative assets once a campaign is live?

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: 

  • For search campaigns, the best practice is to refresh ad copy every 4-6 weeks, while bids, keywords, and extensions are reviewed weekly. 
  • For social media ads, rotating creative every 2-4 weeks is recommended to avoid “ad fatigue,” especially when audience size or ad frequency is high. 
  • For display or video campaigns (YouTube or banner/display ads), monthly updates of visuals or placements are recommended.  

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.
