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%.

Video Production Review from Bryce McPartland
We were referred to colormatics by our ad people at krem. We compared pricing and products of colormatics against a number of industry-specific marketing providers. Colormatics had the strongest portfolio and, surprisingly, offered exceptional pricing.Colormatics laid out a full shoot schedule which was pre-approved. They arrived on scene early one morning and traveled across central Washington to four separate locations to make an exceptionally tight yet comprehensive video about our firm. We began around 8 am and wrapped about 430 pm.Colormatics maintained excellent lines of communication including via email, text, cell and the video editing platform that they utilized. I always felt "in the loop" with them.
Video Production Review from Allison Grunthaner Gibicsar
Colormatics has been an outstanding partner in creating a huge amount of assets needed for our biggest product launch of 2023. This includes but is not limited to: social media videos, product videos, mattress cutaway visualizations, YouTube bumpers, edited b-roll, and more. The whole team is always willing to hop on the phone or quickly answer an email, with fast asset delivery and willingness to bring forth suggestions/solves outside of their scope.
Video Production Review from Ryan Throckmorton
Our team developed the idea of showcasing individuals who are making a positive impact online within their own communities. When we shared the concept with Colormatics, they immediately explored creative ways to bring it to life visually. They transformed our vision into a compelling visual narrative.The final piece blended live-action footage with motion graphics. We conducted interviews and also wanted to highlight the social media activity of these community members. Their profiles were used as a storytelling device, appearing almost like flashbacks, but animated in a way that made the content feel like it was unfolding in real time.We’re now experimenting with turning interview voiceovers into animated illustrations. We believe these could resonate even more on social platforms. The plan was to compare performance between the two video styles, and we’re looking forward to testing them soon.

Advertising Review from Mike Robinson
They were super helpful, and very enthusiastic -- their listicle efforts moved a lot of books for me, as did opportunities provided by their presence at festivals and the contests they co-sponsor. They're at once very professional and family-like; a group of passionate readers seeking to help authors.
Small Business Review from Brianna Provda
It was an absolute pleasure working with Desiree, Dave, and Jei at Black Château. We were very careful and deliberate when choosing our PR firm, and we knew from the beginning that they were a great match. Before we even worked together, they took the time to thoughtfully answer our questions, demonstrated depth and attention to detail in the way they researched and marketed our book, and approached every interaction with kindness and professionalism. Once we made it official, we knew we made the right choice, and they showed up for us throughout the entire process. They consistently went above and beyond to answer our questions, assist with unexpected priorities, and keep us organized and on task. They were communicative, professional, flexible, and always kind and warm, the type of people you genuinely want to build a working relationship with. This was our first time promoting a book, and they made us feel comfortable and confident every step of the way, not only through their patient explanations and guidance, but also through the results they delivered. They brought our book a level of visibility that we would not have been able to achieve on our own and helped us navigate the publishing and publicity process with greater clarity and confidence. We were not always the easiest clients, and priorities occasionally shifted, but they were always willing to jump in, help, and pivot wherever needed. They treated our book and its mission with genuine care, and it always felt as though they were personally invested in helping it succeed. We are extremely happy with the progress and recognition our book received, and a huge part of that success was due to the expertise, diligence, creativity, and hard work of the Black Château team. I would absolutely recommend them to any author or organization looking for a thoughtful, strategic, and dedicated PR partner, and I look forward to working together again in the future.

With an ever-changing media landscape, it is overwhelming to keep up with trends and be mindful of all the opportunities available for different budgets.

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.

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!!

Morgan Rudd's Review Sourced from Google
The absolute BEST production team out there. They are incredibly fast, reliable, friendly, and their work is beyond compare. We worked with NG Films several years ago and were blown away by their professionalism and ease of handling our projects from start to finish. We have returned to them many times and will continue for all of our projects for years to come. Thank you for everything you and your team do! Special shout out to Naman, he's so kind and has helped us work through any questions/requests we've had along the way while constantly being quick to problem solve and find the best path forward. If you're considering their company, don't think twice. They are the best there is!

Production companies simply don’t come any better than NG Production Films. As a hotel marketing manager for 11 years now, I’ve been part of many video shoots. But I have never had more fun – or been as thrilled with the outcome – as I did with Naman and his crew. Professional, creative and an absolute pleasure to collaborate with. They captured our hotel beautifully and I can’t wait to work with them again!

Working with David at DirectLine Media was a pleasure. We had to record 2 people for AI avatars and had specific requirements. David and team had everything setup to meet those requirements when we arrived. We anticipated being done by a certain time and DirectLine Media has all done hours before we thought we would need. Saved our team time with the efficiency and professionalism they provided. I highly recommend using again and we might as we expand our AI avatar staff.

Huge shout-out to Dave and his crew. I got to know Dave through some Chamber of Commerce events and knew that when the time came, we'd use him to update our marketing videos. Dave and Co. were great to communicate with and had a vision. The shoot was easy, well planned, and comfortable. They turned around the video very quickly and it looks great! Highly recommend to anyone they call Dave for their video marketing needs!

Cashurdrive has been an invaluable partner for our advertising needs. They've gone above and beyond to create eye-catching and effective ads that have brought us great results. Their team is professional and attentive, making the entire process a breeze. I'm thrilled with the return on investment.
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.
