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%.

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.

My nonprofit, Set Free Alliance, has worked with The Brand Leader for years. They are truly more than an agency; they are an extension of our staff and our ministry. They take the time to listen to our goals, respect our budget constraints, and brainstorm some fantastic options. The work they produce is second to none, and the people behind that work are even better.

Worked with CC over a period of ~15 years - both when I was with General Electric and later with several international high tech firms firms with factories in New England. You get what you pay for and we got a lot. Very professional, creative, team oriented and fit projects to my budget. They were brilliant in campaigns and web design.

I have several clients of mine who leverage CommCreative for their media strategy and planning. Everything from building out go-to-market strategies, websites, building nurture and sales cadences and have seen first-hand how skilled they are in driving success with their clients. They are forward thinking in the way they execute their plans by leveraging strategic purchase intent data along with traditional digital media and social. Amy has been wonderful to work with and I highly recommend CommCreative!

Highly recommended!

Jill Marshall Gould's Review Sourced from Google
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.

My company Weed Man of Vienna used this company for mailing services this past spring. We received terrible service that was riddled with errors. To make matters worse they lost my payment. When I sent another they cashed both payments and are now refusing to send me back what is owed to me.

Ariel Dubov's Review Sourced from Google
I highly recommend avoiding this company. Fusion92 recently absorbed the company I contracted, Conversion Fanatics. CF was hired to increase our conversion rate. After many months of "testing", and a lot of $$ later, they actually decreased our CVR substantially. I'm deeply unsatisfied with how they left my website -- it was teeming with glitches and errors that are considered low hanging fruit for a typical UX company. Go with a different company!

Mike Heitmann's Review Sourced from Google
Leading ad agency in Kansas City. They produce tremendous work and they are a great ambassador of KC.
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.
