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 contracted design in DC to build me a custom website. they were accommodating of my budget, very responsive, and gave good insight on layout, content and design. the process was very straightforward and the final product is great!
Web Design Review from Jo Maney
DDC has been an excellent partner since we engaged with them in 2023. The DDC team worked with us to completely redesign our website and work to provide ongoing digital marketing services. The DDC team has been responsive, proactive, and thorough with their work. They are also very transparent about how they operate and how much time special projects will require. We have referred DDC to several clients and partners thanks to their outstanding process and product. DDC is a very professional, creative, and well-organized team.
Web Design Review from Sapna Doshi, Ph.D.
My experience working with Design in DC was incredible. Everyone was friendly, approachable, and seemed to genuinely care about helping create the best possible website for my business. They were also invested in making sure the process was one in which I enjoyed and felt taken care of. The regular meetings made me feel like I was a priority and that progress was continually being made. I so appreciated the attention to detail in regards to the user experience. The collaboration in understanding my wishes and desires for the website and user experience was met with patience and paying attention to detail on my behalf. Not only were they taking my suggestions but offering their own to help me maximize the potential of my website. The design and functionality is more than what I could have imagined. I know, undoubtedly, that the work that Design in DC did for me will help my business grow. After wasting money in years past on website designers, I was worried I'd be doing hte same here. I was wrong. I don't think I'll ever need to search for another website designer group again. I would recommend this group to anyone I know. Thank you, Design in DC! It was an absolute pleasure working with all of you!

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.
John Seagrave's Review Sourced from Google
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!

Dave and his crew were great! Dave was very flexible and professional. He patiently guided us through the whole process and everyone was impressed by the end result. If we ever did a video again, we would call him in a heartbeat.

The Landings Golf & Athletic Club has partnered with Falls & Company for the past five years. Our business has grown significantly since Falls has assisted us with print creative, digital marketing, and lead generation. They work with you every step of the way and have a very systematic approach that has helped us achieve our goals of adding more than 1,200 new memberships to our club since 2019. I would strongly recommend the team at Falls & Company to businesses aiming to expand their brand.
James Smith's Review Sourced from Google
I worked with Falls & Co. for more than four years, and I highly recommend this agency for any organization, large or small, looking for marketing or PR expertise. They contributed immensely to the success of our business. The retail energy industry is not easy to learn or succeed at, but the people at Falls were persistent in learning the industry, and creative in their solutions. I enjoyed working with them on a personal level as well—they were both professional, transparent, while friendly and personable. While I’ve moved on from the company where I worked with Falls, I would be thrilled to be their client again.
Julie Raskind's Review Sourced from Google
We have worked intensively with Falls Communications for more than a year on a merger of two non profit organizations. From the beginning, we found them to very engaged and responsive and eager to learn about the culture of both organizations so they could maximize their effectiveness. All of the content was crafted sensitively, expeditiously and expertly. The counsel regarding how, when and to whom to communicate was always wise and sound. All of our stakeholders have commented about the quality and transparency of our communications and that has made what could be a difficult and challenging process much, much easier.

Advertising Review from Damian Ross
I worked with WKND Digital for 9 months. During the first 2 months they had the A team on the job, but after they failed to beat our current ROI Benchmark or Scale, they foisted us on the B and then the C team. The result was even worse results, tripled delivery times and stopped sending us creative for review. We later discovered the creative had misspelled and was way off message. Yes they're suing (2 years later) me because I canceled in November 2021 and they want to get paid for 12/21.
Mark Wood's Review Sourced from Google
The WKND team not only helped us position our online store in the competitive water filtration market but also optimized our business operations beyond just marketing. We now have an amazing, streamlined system that’s been working great for the past 2 years. We’re still working with them and couldn’t have picked anyone better. While we wasted a lot of money with other companies in the past, these guys were the only ones who truly cared and helped our company grow as planned. Thank you for all the hard work, guys—I’m grateful!

Working with Bestow for the last three years has been an absolute pleasure. They developed two unique style of websites for my two brands in Canada that perfectly reflect the brand identity, optimized it for SEO, and managed our social media marketing with precision. What stands out the most is their exceptional client support. Honestly, their creative inputs and proactive ideas are ahead of the curve, and I need to keep up myself for their updates. their creative team was always available to answer my questions and made sure I satisfied with every aspect of the project. They don't just deliver what you ask for but perform beyond your expectations.Highly recommend Bestow for their professionalism and expertise.

We chose to partner with Bestow for our branding initiative, and it proved to be a game-changer. Their proactive approach and aggressive mindset played a key role in helping us achieve our numbers. As one of the premium clubs in Vadodara, positioning the brand while building an emotional connect with our members was a challenging task — and Bestow delivered on both fronts exceptionally well. Their strategic thinking and creative execution truly met our expectations.

If you're looking to really build a successful agency and want solid training and support—not just fluff—I highly recommend going to GSD and working with Cody, Raul, and their team.Working with Raul and Cody has been a transformative experience for me. Raul has given me the confidence to truly pursue my dream of owning my own agency. His depth of knowledge is remarkable, and despite my 20+ years in marketing and experience working with major brands, he constantly reminds me of my worth and never lets me forget who I am. His encouragement is genuine, and he truly cares about the success of the people he coaches. Raul is a blessing to work with.Cody, too, brings incredible strength and care to the table. Together, they’ve created a program that I return to time and time again.

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.
