Print Design Review from James Edward Alexander
My first tedious search for a printer to design and produce business cards ended with the friendly reception of Kelley, at Iconix. Rather than having to respond to a robotic menu, Kelley personally invited my work for a quick inspection and design proposal. Within one hour she presented an attractive design and support service that proved to be very attractive and economically priced. My cards were delivered to me within the week, and they are often the subject of compliments and requests for referrals. When I wanted bookmarks, there was no question that Iconix would get first consideration as designer and printer. As expected, you produced the same high quality results. Now as I begin my next literary project, my only call for design, formatting and printing service is to Iconix.

Our site and collateral materials are fresh and beautiful! Worth every penny. Thank you!!

It has been a joy interacting with their founder and CEO, Wendy Coulter who is able to communicate the message that you want her to communicate to all groups of people. She understands all age groups and understands what is going on in most industries. I have recommended her business to many --without reservations!

SEO Review from Dan Ferguson
For our social media marketing, we have been collaborating with SEO Discovery, and the experience has been excellent. They made the impact right away by taking the time to learn about our audience, our objectives, and our brand. Their designs are consistent with their brand, their communication is consistently professional and timely, and their content approach is well-considered. Better reach across platforms, a more consistent online brand presence, and a discernible rise in interaction have all been observed. The fact that they don't provide a one-size-fits-all strategy and that everything feels customized for our company is what I value most. I heartily endorse SEO Discovery. Our company has benefited greatly from SEO Discovery SEO services. We were not very visible on the internet before. We've noticed a notable rise in organic traffic and leads since working with them.

Amadea Choo's Review Sourced from Google
I’ve worked with Emergent Films across two projects at my current and previous companies, and both experiences were excellent.Most recently, they were engaged to put together a video project, including filming and post-production, on extremely short notice. Despite the tight timeframe, they delivered superbly.Previously, at my former tech company, they collaborated with me across the end-to-end process, including ideation and executed the project with great creativity and professionalism. They also went above and beyond by adding a few thoughtful perks beyond the original scope of work.I’d gladly work with them again.

Emergent Films has been absolutely incredible to work with on our corporate video. The team was highly professional, creative, and extremely attentive to every detail. They understood our vision from day one and went above and beyond to bring it to life — from planning, filming, to the final edit. The process was smooth, collaborative, and genuinely enjoyable. We’re truly grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-tier production partner.
The Black Pearl's Review Sourced from Google
We discovered Emergent Films through Instagram and were drawn to their distinctive approach to branding and storytelling. Their creative direction stood out and were in line with what we were looking for, so we engaged them to produce our brand video.We had a very tight timeline but the Emergent team’s support made it happen. They were also incredibly accommodating throughout the shoot and post-production process. A big shoutout to Marco, Mark, Huey, and the entire team for their advice, dedication and efficiency in ensuring everything was delivered on time!

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.
