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%.

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.
Branding Review from Alessia Vittone
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.

I cannot speak highly enough of Prolific and their incredible team! Working with them was an absolute pleasure.

They developed a brand that not only aligned perfectly with our vision and culture, but also crafted a portfolio of materials that far exceeded our expectations.

I went to the Bloomsbury store on May 12th to try out sizes for an unstructured Gingham jacket I’d seen online. The staff that day were super helpful with styling and tailoring tips (and also very patient because I must have spent half an hour trying to decide between sizes). I bought the item from the TOAST website a few weeks later but wouldn’t have been able to make an informed decision without the assistance of everyone when I went to the store. Overall an amazing experience with this company from consideration to purchase.

The 300 Feet Out team is fantastic. We had a site that was functional, but not ideal and we were working with a website partner that was becoming increasingly resistant to making changes to improve the site. The 300 Feet Out team approaches their clients with great expertise, but also a strong sense of team work — both qualities really show in the quality of their work. Feeling grateful to have found them.

DT Andersen's Review Sourced from Google
Not even sure why, but a flyer that I at first mistook for garbage was blowing in the wind in my porch yesterday, advertising some kind of holiday give away - including apparently multiple Xbox es, since mine blew up days after the one year warranty was up, I figured eh I'll swing through.Showed up to a very dark but kinda cool looking church set up sort of like a club but feeling unfinished, and was ushered in by a bunch of friendly teen-twenty something kids, one of who asks for ID then laughs as i produce it, 'just joking dude'... thats a joke? How so?... Didn't upset me or anything, but I was like what the heck was that?Im led into a small crowd of children and parents, where I proceeded to wait on a line - apparently to produce ID ... maybe this is the line to get the joke punchline or an explanation?... Anyway after about ten minutes of the line going no where and no one seeming to know what's going on, I decided to split.Space looks great but unfinished and the crew is nice but confused at best. I still don't know what the heck this space is, nor why I was there beyond the phrase 'free xbox giveaway'... So confusing.

My husband and I had our wedding at THIS IS RED in May 2024. As soon as we toured the space, we knew it was the venue we wanted. Katya and the rest of the team were a pleasure to work with and always easy to get in touch with. There are so many unique spaces and touches, it's truly a one-of-a-kind Pittsburgh venue. The first comments we got from guests after the wedding were expressing how much they loved the venue too!

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.
