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%.

Performance Marketing Review from Kanhaiya Maheshwary
I've had the pleasure of having HawkSEM manage our SEM and SEO since January 2025. Before that, I worked with three different SEM agencies over the previous two years, so I'm especially glad to have finally found a reliable partner. HawkSEM understands B2B tech and what it takes to scale growth for a PLG company. They're also constantly challenging themselves to improve and deliver better results. While most agencies focus on lead volume, Hawk is one of the few I've worked with that consistently wanted to be held accountable to deeper qualification metrics, such as MQLs and SQLs. Ian has been a fantastic consultant, bringing a wealth of deep marketing expertise to the partnership. Cristin, Alex, and Yvonne have also done an excellent job managing the day-to-day SEM and SEO work. Overall, HawkSEM has been a great partner, and I highly recommend them to any B2B tech company looking for an agency that truly understands growth.

Hello, we are a strip club that has been operating for over 5 years. For six months we have been looking for a targetologist and a comprehensive solution for our niche. We faced such problems as quickly spending the budget for the first week of the result "0", that is, we simply poured money into the void. There is no system and organization. We found the AG Marketing company through a search engine, at the first stages of cooperation, we liked the systematic approach. The organization and professionalism of the team. Our niche is quite complex in advertising, and in principle we did not make big bets on attracting our audience through FB. But in the first month of work we realized that we simply turned to the wrong companies. In the first month of work, 10% of guests came through targeted advertising. At the end of the second month we had a queue to our club. To say that we are delighted with this is an understatement. I recommend this company 200%.

Paid too much (we realise that now) for a standard website to be built with a template but were not supplied the files to update this. Also paid a very significant amount to have logos designed and were not supplied with the vector files. When we needed them, after a few years realising they had never been sent, this company argued, denied, and wanted to charge to send it over, “retrieve it” they said. “All design companies reserve the right to charge for files from their own archive systems “ this is standard practice” we were told, however speaking to other companies this is not, especially if you paid for and should have been supplied with them already within the terms of the service. The time it took to ask for the files is irrelevant. Beware, especially if you are trying to start a business and knowledge is basic, this is a company that will exploit that.

Maxwell Adey's Review Sourced from Google
I was recommended Hieu from Think Big Design Group from a colleague after I had a few unsuccessful rebranding attempts with other designers. From the outset, Hieu impressed me with his professionalism and his approach to branding. He managed to rebrand my food brand quite effortlessly and with great impact. With only a few rounds, Hieu created the branding I had only dreamed about! His attention to detail and great eye for design is extraordinary. We continue to work together as the brand grows and I very much looking forward to working together for many more year to come. I can highly recommend Think Big Design Group.
Greg Stilianou's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Think Big Design Group has been a professional treat. Hieu deep dived into understanding my business to make sure the logo design and branding we developed represented what my company stands for, and he was able to translate my vision into a modern, sophisticated design. I'm grateful for Hieu's insights on customer perspectives, which was on point and valuable. And despite being in locations across the globe, the process was effortless.

UI/UX Design Review from Imen Zarai
We hired Duality Agency to design the full UI/UX of TieUpFreelance, our freelance marketplace, and to build the marketing strategy for our launch. Very few agencies handle both product design and growth with equal depth. Duality is one of them. The UI/UX team started with discovery, running user interviews and mapping the core flows before designing anything. The result is a clean, modern interface with a scalable design system and every screen tested against a conversion objective, not just visual polish. On the marketing side, they built our positioning, launched paid campaigns on Meta and Google, produced SEO-optimized content, and structured our social presence around a clear editorial direction. Within weeks of launch, we had a coherent brand and a working acquisition funnel. Communication was structured and transparent throughout. Weekly reviews, clean dashboards, and a project manager who understood both the product and the growth side. They pushed back diplomatically when our ideas did not align with data, which we appreciated. Nine months in, our sign-up conversion, organic traffic, and brand recognition have all grown meaningfully. Highly recommended for any founder building a digital product from scratch.
Rihab Hamdi's Review Sourced from Google
A highly professional agency. The team is creative, responsive, and understands client needs well. The design and marketing results are of very high quality. I recommend Duality Agency to anyone looking for a reliable digital agency.

I would like to take this opportunity to describe our experience with Midwest Horizons Marketing. My name is Andy Burris, president of the Cruz4life foundation. We recently had an opportunity to hold a fundraiser at Freddy’s in Lansing, Kansas and felt we needed to boost our community outreach. A friend of mine recently referred me to Midwest Horizon‘s Marketing . I contacted Midwest and received an immediate response from Amanda, Who assured me that even with the short amount of time she would be able to accommodate our needs. With Her attention to detail, friendly attitude, and knowledgeable experience, Midwest Horizons Marketing came through with their promise in a timely and efficient manner.. The same day I contacted Amanda, she had put together a beautiful advertisement and posted it on media. The result lead to a participation number, which exceeded our goal! We will definitely reach out to Amanda again for our future needs and I highly recommend Midwest Horizon’s Marketing For any ones marketing needs! Kudos to Amanda and Midwest horizons marketing!

Queens of Clean LLC Leavenworth Ks's Review Sourced from Google
Marketing is my shortcoming when it comes to my business. I am not good at it. I meet Amanda earlier this year after watching her work with some others in my office building. I was very impressed. I set up a meeting and we came up with a plan. I knew she was the lady for the job. She was very interested in me and my business. She asked questions and she listened. I have had several different commercials now running and so many people see them. It has made out phones start ringing in our slow season. This is Amazing. The Roi has been awesome. 20 new leads called in one week. We booked 13 of those and 5 more will be booking after the 1st. I’ve been stuck in the valley of despair for 2 years. We are stuck between 550k-700k annually. This is good, but could be great! I knew I needed to market out of this valley. Amanda heard my cries and went to work. I’m certain 2025 we will hit 1 million for the year and this is directly related to my partnership with Horizon Midwest Marketing! If you are looking to grow and I mean really grow, you need to set up a meeting right away. She has many packages to fit your budget and your needs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hands down the best product design agency I’ve worked with. No wasted budget on convoluted design processes. Chris and his team have tons of experience which allows for arriving at viable and highly original design outputs quickly and cost effectively. They excel at visual and mechanical design but they also did some incredible pack design for us too. Highly recommend them whether you’re at concept stage or hit a wall and need a fresh pair of eyes to work through a challenge!

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

Sooooo Good! Has halal beef and chicken options as well as vegan options. We had the roast beef and one the chicken options. 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.

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.
