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%.

PPC Review from Max Snitkovsky, MBA
My experience with Klientboost was a complete dumpster fire, so I would highly recommend you AVOID this unethical company.I engaged with Klientboost with the goal of improving the performance of my ecommerce brand. Onboarding was OK, with Elisha and her team when they gather information about my business. For the first 2 weeks they developed a strategy that they presented to me, with the goal of improving my business. The next 2 weeks was spent executing that strategy before I realized I had wasted my time and money. Klientboost's strategy was a complete failure and all of my KPIs were worse off compared to before I engaged with Klientboost. That includes ROAS, # of Purchases, Conversion Rate, and Cost Per Acquisition. Before my business was consistent, and as soon as Klientboost took over, everything just plummeted. I paid an additional $1500 for "creatives". What I received back was a quote or short text, overlayed on my existing photos. There was no creativity whatsoever. This was a complete waste.Klientboost's big selling pitch is during the first 30 days they will make changes to improve your business performance, and those 30 days will be the benchmark for their next goal of increasing results by 20%. What actually happened is that they lowered my performance during the first 30 days, so that they could return to what I had before in the following days, so it is clear how they achieved their stated "20% growth goal". Very unethical.I highly recommend you avoid Klientboost!
Digital Marketing Review from Sue MacGregor
I hired KlientBoost early in 2024 to support our digital marketing efforts. As Head of Marketing, my main priority is to support our sales organization by feeding the pipeline and driving revenue for the company. KlientBoost came highly recommended because they produce results quickly. In the short time we have worked with KB, our digital marketing efforts have produced nearly $1M in pipeline. I can't wait to see what we do together in 2025.

Web Development Review from Alexandre Lorent Guerra
We had a great experience working with GVN Marketing. They took on the job of building our Asia Pillars website.GVN put together a clear and detailed plan for the websites look and feel, making the most of our black and gray color scheme. They developed the sites structure, wireframes, and prototypes, keeping us in the loop every step of the way.We highly recommend GVN Marketing for their professionalism, creativity, and technical know-how. They are the best marketing agency in Thailand that we have ever worked with.
Tom's Review Sourced from Google
We connected with the GVN team at a networking event, where they presented themselves professionally and made a positive initial impression. However, the deliverables fell short of our expectations. The website they developed had significant technical and design issues, and our marketing campaigns underperformed substantially. Given that we were paying a premium rate that is significantly higher than comparable local agencies, we had anticipated much stronger results and execution quality.
David Cleland's Review Sourced from Google
I had a great experience working with GVN. From the very beginning they were incredibly knowledgeable and professional. We worked with them on two separate projects, one to help boost our business through SEO, and a second to build a website. We saw immediate returns from the SEO that far outweighed the reasonable cost. I would recommend this service to anyone. For the website design, their team was organized and efficient and produced exactly what we were looking for. Overall, we were extremely happy with the price and service that GVN provided.

If you’re looking for someone to help design and handle the launch logistics of your new website, ClearRiver is where you should go and be sure to ask for Nathan!I’ve worked with ClearRiver in the past and received excellent service. This recent service was truly above and beyond all my expectations.We were under a very tight deadline to launch and Nathan worked diligently to meet that deadline. He worked weekends and late nights, and made many adjustments from several members of our team. Within two weeks time we were ready to launch. He was absolutely amazing at his craft, and extremely professional and easy to work with.I would highly recommend both Nathan and ClearRiver Advertising. You won’t be disappointed. In fact, you will be extremely happy with your finished product and the level of service that he offers.

Stopped by Alfie’s and tried the Prosciutto Royale and the Chicken Caesar sandwich, and both were excellent. The ingredients tasted fresh, the bread was perfectly toasted, and everything was well balanced without being overloaded. The Prosciutto Royale had great flavor, while the Chicken Caesar was creamy, satisfying, and made with tender chicken. The portions were good, and you can tell they put care into making each sandwich. Definitely a spot I’d come back to when I’m craving a quality sandwich. I highly recommend it

Beautiful place...sourdough bun/flatbread, in house sauces and freshest ingredients. A must go. Not a lot of seating - some single benches outside and stand up counter style inside. Was busy as it was at noon but we didn't wait too long.

Rhyanne was amazing😍so patient, friendly, and helpful with explaining everything and recommending this sandwich. The gentleman working there was also very kind and welcoming.Delicious food and great service. I’ll definitely be back!
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.
