      Digital Marketing Review from Rita Dragonette

      I've had the pleasure of working with Motion as both colleague and client. As a colleague I was referred to them for a number of my CEO clients. The high-level coverage they were able to secure was very instrumental in significantly raising the profile of those clients and helping them attract the opportunities they were after. As a client, Motion was able to quickly and innovatively operationalize a successful social giving program to fund a scholarship I started as part of the launch for my new novel. The response was terrific for book awareness and quickly became fully funded. The agency is highly responsive, the staff skilled and engaging. Terrific client service.

      I was very excited to find a Rochester agency that could build my brand and website when starting my company. I had met with a number of different website developers, graphic designers, programmers from all over the world. As a solo entrepreneur, I would have been managing 2-3 people to build out the branding and website. Instead, Brandmint’s team worked to build the brand and I only had to manage/communicate my vision to them. They are an agency that I can grow into their full suite of services. It saves me time having a one stop shop. The Brandmint team is an incredible local asset and I am excited to work with them on future projects.

      To see the quality of work this company does, search for the Ohio Lottery app on your iphone and spend your day laughing of how bad a company can screw up a basic function. THEN, go to the NH Lottery app and start reading those! (all Marcus Thomas)

      Very unprofessional. I called and asked about their services and without having a scrape of knowledge about my financial situation they told me that I’m on a low budget and that I can’t afford their service. My neighbor’s dog provides better customer service than these people ever could don’t waste your time.

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.
