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.

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%.

I communicated by email with Lauren, she just asked for logo, and pictures, I also asked her to rewrite the wording on the ad, as I didn't like the wording on the old ad. I received a proof for my new advertisement and it is AMAZING! I am so impressed with the result, I can't wait to see it in the brochure! Thank you, Lauren!

Peter Höger's Review Sourced from Google
In a SEA training course with Thomas Weber as a lecturer, I enjoyed very practice-oriented and transparent Google Ads training. I found his extensive experience and professional expertise impressive. In 2 days he conveyed the complex topic to me very well. Later, as a consultant, Thomas developed an extremely efficient lead strategy for me with Google Ads, which brought me 4-digit website visits in a short time. His expertise and relaxed manner make him an excellent specialist; I can recommend him without reservation.

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.

Right after i rating 3 to this business, i received call from business owner and he has discussed issue. So i have increased one more star. Hoping for the good service next time. My previous reply was as follows: Marketing response is .1% which is i think correct as compare to others. Secondly, they do not reply back after making so many calls. Third, they have closed business now as they have not run my campaign despite depositing fee.

I had the pleasure of working with OLBUZ that truly exceeded my expectations. As a Google Premier Partner and an expert in lead generation and real estate marketing, they showcased their expertise and professionalism throughout our collaboration. The primary objective of our partnership was to boost lead generation for my real estate business, and they delivered impressive results. Their team was not only knowledgeable but also extremely attentive to my specific needs and goals. One of the standout features of this company was their proficiency in utilizing Google Ads, Facebook ads and Meta ads to generate leads. Their in-depth understanding of the platform, combined with their Google Premier Partner status, translated into highly effective campaigns. These campaigns not only increased our online visibility but also generated a significant uptick in quality leads. I highly recommend OLBUZ for any type of digital marketing and app development work.

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.

I hired Power Up to produce an online event that I was holding and the experience was perfection. They brought so much experience and insight to the planning and execution of the project. The questions that they asked, the suggestions that they made, and the support that they offered allowed me to account for details that would not have occurred to me and to feel confident that all the details were covered. We held the event online and filmed at their studio. The resulting video is a fantastic asset. The experience for those who attended live was seamless and smooth. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism and their work. I will be hiring them again.

From the first time I video chatted with Amy, I knew she was detail-oriented, cared about why we needed the AV services, and was extremely easy to talk to. Power Up made it easy for me to facilitate between who needed to be filmed for our event and they handled all the filming and splicing. The best part was that the night of the event, I could sit back and relax and actually enjoy the show. Thank you to the Power Up team!!

I cannot recommend Warten Weg enough! From start to finish, my experience with this graphic design company was absolutely exceptional. Their team is incredibly talented, creative, and professional. They took the time to truly understand my vision and brought it to life in ways I couldn’t have imagined. The designs they delivered were not only stunning but also perfectly aligned with my brand’s identity. Every detail was meticulously crafted, and their attention to quality is unmatched. What really stood out to me was their communication—they kept me updated throughout the entire process and were always open to feedback and revisions.

I pulled in Warten Weg into my project last minute when my graphic designer let me down and he just WOW’d me with his high standard of work and quick turn around time. When other guys take a week to do a highly detailed poster; he was able to deliver in 48hrs. I won’t even talk about pricing; I had to advise him to raise his price for the quality of work and excellent service that he gave me as a random first time customer 🤣🤣. Well done dude; may bigger doors open for you. 🙏🏽 Brian Moyo

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.
