Doner successfully refreshed the image of the Chrysler Pacifica by tapping into cultural trends while staying grounded in real family needs.
Chrysler wanted to make the Pacifica more appealing to modern families, and the rise of the #VanLife trend created an opportunity to shift perceptions of the minivan. Doner connected this trend to everyday parenting by highlighting Pacifica’s practical, family-friendly features through engaging video content across broadcast and social media.

FCB (Foote, Cone & Belding) is a globally recognized advertising agency known for its innovative and effective advertising and marketing campaigns. As part of the Interpublic Group, FCB has a substantial global footprint, with over 120 offices across over 80 countries.
FCB's impact is validated by numerous awards and recognitions in the industry, including the Cannes Lions and Effie Awards. The agency combines creative storytelling with deep insights into consumer behavior, aiming to create accessible advertisements that capture attention and drive meaningful results for its clients.
During the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Brazilian football fans wanted to support their national team by wearing the official jersey. However, the high cost of the jerseys (R$350) was a significant barrier, especially given the inflation Brazilians were facing at the time. This situation challenged FCB's client, Flash, to engage with fans and allow them to express their support.
FCB offered a 50% cashback on jersey purchases from Nike's eCommerce site in exchange for fans customizing the jersey with Flash's brand name and sharing it on social media. This campaign turned fans into brand sponsors and significantly boosted Flash's visibility, getting more than 5.1 million interactions and increasing brand mentions by 2300%.

Marketing Strategy Review from Joe Novara
I've had the pleasure to know Wendy Coulter and the team at Hummingbird Creative Group for well over a decade. During this time, I've owned two businesses, both of which have engaged with Hummingbird at different levels. The professionalism, knowledge of their industry and outside the box thinking are what makes Wendy and the rest of her team stand out within their industry. In my current business, we have used Hummingbird to help us get our messaging down and develop a brand that professionals remember and want to refer. The process was far deeper than I expected and I learned about my own business in ways I wouldn't have believed. Hummingbird has always been an easy referral for me and the rest of my team. I look forward to referring them many times for many years in the future.
Aliya Gard's Review Sourced from Google
5 Stars isn't enough! The creative team at Hummingbird took our ideas and process for nutrition and weight loss which (we were delivering in a less than fancy word doc!) and transformed it into a beautifully branded website with fantastic copy and a GREAT message. The entire process with Wendy and Dianne was easy from the initial meeting. What we love about Hummingbird is their ability to pull out what you do and put it into a visual package which sells! Our site and collateral materials are fresh and beautiful! Worth every penny. Thank you!!
Paul Immanuel's Review Sourced from Google
The Hummingbird Creative Group is a very unique company. They take the time to understand your business as well as the people behind it. They then look at your product, understand why a set of customers might need the product. They help you market the product to your target market with state of the art websites, steady social media interactions, eye catching flyers and support you in every way. It has been a joy interacting with their founder and CEO, Wendy Coulter who is able to communicate the message that you want her to communicate to all groups of people. She understands all age groups and understands what is going on in most industries. I have recommended her business to many --without reservations!

Our company Compass PPM used Jazzbones to support the branding and the development of our website. We found Nathan and his team were incredibly supportive, patient and diligent. They went out of their way to make the process efficient and stress free. We can't recommend his team enough for the great work they did. Highly recommend!!

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.
An advertising agency is the right fit for your business when it has proven experience solving problems similar to yours and acts as a growth partner rather than just a vendor.
In practice, that means it has worked with businesses that share a similar model, sales cycle, campaign mix, and ad spend, and can demonstrate an understanding of your goals and unit economics. It should also be able to adapt its strategy, communication style, and reporting cadence to your team's pace and way of working.
Here is how to tell if the ad agency is the right fit vs. a risky fit:
| Strong fit | Risky fit |
| Has worked with clients with a similar business model, campaign mix, and ad budget | Relies mainly on general industry experience or big-name clients without showing relevant similarities |
| Gives specific examples of solving growth problems like yours | Speaks broadly about results but does not connect them to your actual business challenges |
| Stays focused on your scope and business needs | Pushes extra services or capabilities you do not need |
| Clearly explains who will manage the account day to day and what senior oversight looks like | Presents a senior pitch team, but the execution team is unclear |
| Adapts its process, turnaround times, and reporting cadence to your needs | Requires slow or overly complex processes that do not match your needs |
The 2023 Cost of Pitch report found that 90% of businesses value long-term ROI over costs when partnering with ad agencies. Moreover, 56% say that trust is the most important factor in building a successful agency-client relationship, together with open communication and shared objectives.
The biggest agency red flags are vague measurement, weak ownership terms, senior-team bait-and-switch, and recommendations that ignore your context.
Before hiring an ad agency, ask about its operating model, project approach, accountability framework, and familiarity with your requirements.
Consider these questions:
Your advertising agency contract should define scope, fees, ownership, access, reporting, approvals, change control, and exit terms in plain language.
Look for the following in your contract before signing:
Including these items in your contract will help bring clarity and transparency to your partnership with the B2B advertising agency. Moreover, it will protect your business from data breaches, vendor lock-in, and legal risks.
After hiring an ad agency, expect a heavier time commitment during the first few weeks of the partnership. Once the agency becomes familiar with your brand standards, goals, and workflows, the time required from your team typically decreases.
Here is a breakdown of what to expect for each phase after hiring:
According to the ANA and 4A's Client-Agency Relationship survey, 40.6% of respondents have regular mandatory review periods for transparency, accountability, and strategy alignment.
Rated 4.8 on Google and 4.7 on Trustpilot, DesignRush Agency Directory is a reliable resource for finding top advertising agencies. We owe this to our executive selection team, which follows a strict screening process when featuring agencies on the platform, assessing key performance indicators, like portfolio, client reviews, and industry reputation.
DesignRush sustains a directory of over 40,000 agencies categorized by service category, location, expertise, and reviews. We build our database in two ways:
Agencies can also reach out to DesignRush and must go through the verification process prior to being listed.
Before contacting ad agencies, you must define your priority business objectives, success metrics, ad spend limit, expected timeline, internal decision-maker, and available resources.
Without that foundation, agencies will make different assumptions, which can make proposals difficult to compare and lead you to hire agencies for the wrong problem.
With 71% of CMOs reporting that they lack the budget to fully execute their strategy, it is vital to distinguish between "must-have" and "nice-to-have" campaign features before the first discovery call.
Hire a specialist advertising agency when you are experiencing issues with paid media execution and results. Conversely, hire a full-service digital marketing agency when the larger problem is coordination across channels, brand, content, and web.
Consider specialized ad agencies when:
Consider full-service digital marketing agencies when:
A realistic advertising budget typically ranges from 5% to 15% of your total annual revenue, depending on your growth stage and industry competitiveness.
For example, small businesses typically dedicate 2%-4% of their revenue to PPC advertising, with aggressive, growth-stage organizations typically spending more.
As a market benchmark, Gartner's 2025 CMO Spend Survey found CMOs reporting marketing budgets at 7.7% of company revenue and paid online channels accounting for 69% of digital spend.
The practical takeaway is to ask each shortlisted agency for a minimum viable testing budget by channel, then reject plans that cannot generate enough volume to prove or disprove the strategy.
Measure the success of your advertising campaigns by tracking bottom-line outcomes.
For lead generation campaigns, success metrics may include qualified leads, cost per sales-qualified lead, close rate by source, and pipeline contribution.
For eCommerce brands, success metrics to consider include customer acquisition cost, contribution margin, repeat purchase behavior, and return on ad spend (ROAS).
While platform metrics, such as click-through rate (CTR) and cost per click (CPC), are valuable, consider these as diagnostic metrics rather than success metrics.
Advertising campaigns may produce results within a few weeks or days. However, sustained ad performance may take 1-3+ months.
Typically, ad agencies dedicate the first 30 days to campaign ramp-up, data gathering, experimentation, testing, and conversion lag.
Then, they allot days 31-60 for campaign optimization. After 90 days from the campaign launch, you may record tangible outcomes, such as increased leads, higher ticket sales, and revenue growth.
The actual timeline before you see results will depend on current performance, ad channel, ad quality, target niche, industry competition, and the aggressiveness of your advertising campaign.
Common mistakes include choosing based on the lowest hourly rates, being overly influenced by the pitch, and failing to confirm ownership of accounts, data, and reporting.
To avoid these mistakes, look for data-backed case studies that match your industry, market niche, and campaign type.
Also, review client feedback and request client references to better understand the agency's project management style, account ownership practices, reporting standards, and approach to campaign optimization.
