During the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Brazilian football fans wanted to support their national team by wearing the official jersey. However, the high cost of the jerseys (R$350) was a significant barrier, especially given the inflation Brazilians were facing at the time. This situation challenged FCB's client, Flash, to engage with fans and allow them to express their support.
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%.

Digital Advertising Review from Lucy Ji
We brought Y'all in to audit our Meta and Google campaigns and tell us what was broken. They dug into campaign setups, creative performance, audience targeting, and spend efficiency, then handed us a clear, actionable plan to fix it. The results were hard to argue with. ROAS jumped 184.6%, purchase routing became smoother, and our budget started working a lot harder. What impressed us most was how tailored everything felt. They took the time to understand our brand before making a single recommendation. Nothing was generic. They also walked us through the findings in a recorded session and hosted a live Q&A so nothing got lost in translation. Professional, responsive, and genuinely collaborative from start to finish. No complaints at all.
Digital Marketing Review from Kristen Elworthy
Y'all has been fantastic to work with for us, a small e-commerce company heading into a scaling year. We found Y'all when looking to up our creative game in 2026 and have been thrilled with their ideas and execution, as well as how quickly they have learned our brand. We quickly brought them on to do paid media buying as well and they have been instrumental in helping us scale spend and revenue during our busy season. Most importantly, they are collaborative, responsive, smart and data driven. For a boostrapped ecomm brand, bringing on agencies is always a huge financial commitment and it can be nerve wracking. Y'all's founder and team clearly care about their clients and outcomes, they go the extra mile, and they are committed to their success. We find them to be true partners.
Performance Marketing Review from Neha Salgaonkar
When we started working with Y'all, we were spending just $2,000 to $3,000 a month on Meta. Our goal was to scale that spend profitably while keeping customer acquisition costs in check. They did exactly that. New customer acquisition grew measurably and ROAS moved in the right direction, all without blowing past our CAC targets. What made them stand out was how plugged in they were. The team monitored our account closely, often sending daily updates and making quick adjustments without needing to be prompted. They never felt like an outside agency. They genuinely cared about the brand and it showed in how they worked. No complaints from our end.

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.

From the outset, they took the time to deeply understand our business, goals, and target audience, ensuring every action aligned with our objectives. The results were evident in our improved search rankings, increased organic traffic, and well-optimized ad campaigns that drove quality leads and conversions. Their proactive communication and regular updates made the collaboration seamless, as they always provided clear insights and actionable recommendations. What truly set them apart was their commitment to achieving measurable outcomes while maintaining a smooth and collaborative working relationship. PBJ Marketing went above and beyond to not only meet but exceed our expectations. The partnership has had a significant and lasting impact on our business, and we couldnt be more satisfied.
Google Ads Review from Eugene Ravitsky
Ad spend increased dramatically and cost per conversion skyrocketed. They claimed because revenue was increasing that they did their job. We add new brands weekly so revenue was growing before and after them. Cost per conversion/ROAS went into the dumps and we were unprofitable. Yet they still use us as a success case study on their website. Since then google reps took over and overhauled the structure of the campaign, saying it was clunky and wrong.

I started working with Jared from Allora back in December and his social media marketing is incredible. His ability to help understand the value that my business provides and communicate that through incredible content is unmatched. He’s made social media and video content easier then ever to get old and our customers love the content 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.
