Disruptive Advertising Reviews & Testimonials

eCommerce Review from Anonymous
Right after launching our campaigns with Disruptive, we saw results almost instantly. Our monthly revenue jumped from about $50,000 to over $70,000. Every key Google Ads metric improved, and by November, we were already nearing $550,000 in revenue, well on track to hit our $700,000 annual goal.

PPC Review from Anonymous
We’ve been working with Disruptive on a long-term PPC strategy, and they’re constantly optimizing campaigns and landing pages based on performance. They use Google Analytics to ensure accurate tracking, Unbounce for landing page testing, and run ads through Google and LinkedIn, with knowledgeable experts for each channel.

Digital Marketing Review from Jackie Arends
Disruptive Advertising is in charge of our online advertising, which includes PPC, social media marketing on Facebook, email marketing, and, more recently, Amazon marketing. They create content for the campaigns and manage them, create email templates, and automate [...] email marketing campaigns. Regarding our PPC efforts, we focus on Google Ads and Facebook Ads, and we recently started our Bing advertising efforts as well. Our ROAS is currently at about 4X5X. (Verified via email)

Highland Reviews & Testimonials

UI/UX Design Review from Audrey Thomas
Highland is a great partner. The sought to deeply understand our product, customers, and pain points and built a number of forward looking opportunities for us in addition to the tight scope of our project. Proactive, thoughtful, responsive, and flexible. We are a small team and found lots of value in working with Highland to get our UX refresh project up and running.

UI/UX Design Review from ✨ Liz Pisney ✨
We recently partnered with Highland on research and prototypes for a new information architecture on a volunteer resources site for our Chapter leaders. Having over 3000 volunteers around the globe can introduce a lot of nuance and complexity to research and design processes. The team at Highland handled it all skillfully - focusing on how to deliver the most clarity and usability to our audience. 10 out of 10, I would recommend working with the Highland team!

Webflow Review from Lee Wiensch, CAE, CFRE
We had a great experience working with the team at Highland to develop a new website for the Thoracic Surgery Foundation, a charitable organization aimed at advancing heart and lung health for all. Highland worked with us to re-imagine a dated website with limited functionality, and developed a a gorgeous new site that beautifully reflects the vitality of the organization. We anticipate that our award applicants, donors, surgeons and grateful patients will be able to easily navigate the new site and have a much-improved user experience. Jeff Blanchard and his team were exceptionally good listeners, and worked hard to create solutions for our complicated awards program. They provided good training to our team throughout the process so that we have been able to keep things updated and easily make changes now that the site has launched. I am grateful for their patience and very quick turnaround as we juggled a new strategic plan and new branding, all at the time of the website creation. I have been continually impressed with the expertise and the innovation that Highland brings to a project like ours. It was a pleasure to launch this site -- on time and on budget -- with their excellent work and support.

Working with them is such a close-knit and communicative process. We're the type of client that prefers to be very involved at each step, and they make it very easy to follow along. They have a Monday board where we can see our progress on the full project dashboard. We never feel like we dont know whats going on.Its great to have a project manager who brings all the pieces together so that we can see the bigger picture. They email, text, and conduct weekly calls to keep us up-to-date. We also had the chance to work and meet with them in-person.

Working with Logotio was a game changer for our brand. Their innovative marketing campaign has not only increased our visibility, but also improved our customer relations. Their team is a blend of creativity and professionalism and works in a structured, reliable and transparent manner. Highly recommended.
John Balumuena's Review Sourced from Google
We first started working with Logotio Design in 2019 when we launched our company. Since then, they've been a steady partner that we can rely on. What we love most about working with Logotio is that they don't just implement our ideas but instead try to deeply understand what we are aiming for and challenge us to find the best possible solution to reach our goals.I recommend working with them if you need a partner who doesn't just do work by the book but instead goes the extra mile to deliver the best possible result.
Hans Kleine-Brüggeney's Review Sourced from Google
I can't say enough about the exceptional services provided by Logotio! As a sales-driven design agency, they truly understand the importance of branding and digitalization for businesses worldwide.With Logotio's help, our market presence significantly increased, resulting in much higher awareness of our biotech company. Their strategic approach to design and business development had a direct and positive impact on our bottom line.Notably, the awareness among our customers, partners, and even competitors significantly increased, thanks to Logotio's innovative and effective strategies.One of the standout aspects of Logotio's service was their assistance in setting up the brand identity of our biotech business. In the fiercely competitive life science sector, this was a game-changer. Logotio helped us stand out in the crowd with a brand identity that not only looked exceptional but also resonated with our target audience.While there are other companies in the market, Logotio's commitment to excellence and their deep understanding of the role design plays in business development make them stand out. For us, they were more than just a design agency; they were a strategic partner in our success.Though they may not be as well-known as some other companies in the industry, Logotio's personalized approach and dedication to their clients set them apart. I highly recommend Logotio for anyone seeking top-notch branding, web design, and business development services.Don't miss out on the opportunity to work with this hidden gem in the design world. Thank you, Logotio, for your outstanding work and commitment to our success!

I love the Swivel team! They make sure my calendar is fully booked with quality meetings. That’s where the rubber meets the road. Swivel’s 'Growth System' has been the perfect blend of marketing strategy and sales enablement. With their partnership, our sales team knows exactly which leads to prioritize, and has the processes & tech in place to maximize every buyer interaction.
Debora Robison's Review Sourced from Google
Swivel helped us with go-to-market, digital footprint, and templates/processes for our team to take forward! As a team of social service professionals with little marketing knowledge, we learned so much from them! They took our online presence to the next level with a user-friendly design that perfectly captures the essence of our mission. A new multi-channel campaign with content marketing levels us up and allows us to enhance our visibility to the schools that need our services the most. We highly recommended connecting with Swivel to make your marketing pop!

The knowledge and approach of the Business Analysts and the whole team were excellent, they listened, advised and offered thoughtful suggestions for improvements.The end specification for the application met and in many ways exceeded my expectations.Professional, friendly and smart. Great experience
Bradley Ebsworth-Willis's Review Sourced from Google
We recently completed a solution design project with Geeks, and I can not speak highly enough about the service we received. Geeks really are experts are making the complex appear (relatively) simple. Through a thorough and detailed solution design process, we created a prototype product that met all of our requirements. Geeks focus on producing visual representations of the product you are seeking - which is a far more efficient and helpful way of solution designing (as opposed to a written specification). Thank you very much for your support once again and I look forward to working together again in the future! Bradley (Associate Director)

Naked Development Reviews & Testimonials

Mobile App Development Review from DJA
We paid $117,000 across two contracts $68,000 for development and $49,000 for marketing to Naked Development for a consumer-ready iOS and Android app and a full marketing funnel.They delivered neither.We originally requested delivery by Black Friday, the most critical sales window for a parent-focused consumer app. Naked Development proposed December as an alternative. That deadline was their own suggestion. They missed it. We extended to January, then February, then April, then issued a formal written Notice of Breach before giving them one final deadline the following June. Every deadline was missed. We were over 300% over timeline.When we finally handed the codebase to a second development firm, the app would not build on either iOS or Android. We paid thousands just to get it running enough to assess the damage. The contracted team was never fully assembled. Tickets were put on hold without explanation. Subscription management, the most critical feature of the app, was broken for months and never fixed by Naked.The commercial video Naked produced was unusable by launch, as cultural references had gone stale during the delay.We are software engineers who have led teams of over 100. These were not minor issues. They were basic, objective engineering failures.When we raised breach concerns with founder John Driscoll, his response was "let's just let our lawyers talk about it."We are aware of more than a dozen other former clients who experienced similar issues. Do not recommend.

Mobile App Development Review from Mimi Bouchard
I hired Naked Development in 2022 to build a new version of my mobile app. I paid $203,000 upfront (spread over six months essentially everything I had saved from my first year in business), and was told the app would be completed in five months, by Fall 2022.Instead, the project turned into nearly a year of delays, almost done updates, and declining involvement from their team. My very small internal team and I ended up doing much of the project management and QA work ourselves because progress had stalled so severely. Despite constant reassurances, no functional product was ever delivered.By mid-2023, I hired multiple external development teams to assess the code. Every single one independently concluded that the app was non-functional, unstable, not scalable, and could not be launched. They warned it would crash immediately and required a complete rebuild. I then hired a neutral third-party auditor with zero connection to any agency and his report confirmed the same findings.After paying over $200K, I had nothing usable. When I factored in delays, internal time lost, expert audits, and the cost of rebuilding from scratch, the financial impact to my business exceeded $500,000.After multiple attempts to resolve the situation privately were unsuccessful, I filed a lawsuit, which is now a matter of public record (Superhuman Inc. v. Naked Development). The case is set for trial in early 2026. While litigation is never something a founder hopes for, at a certain point it became the only responsible path given the evidence and the financial damage.I strongly recommend extreme caution when considering this agency.

Mobile App Development Review from Jared Bossola
Working with people that are as creative as I am is awesome. Receiving top marks across the board, Naked. is an innovative team of artists. The client praises them for their outside-the-box thinking and ability to connect on a creative level. Throughout the project, they’ve demonstrated attentive service and communication.

eva alexandre's Review Sourced from Google
I loved working with them, especially Ben. Curtious, professional, and was able to get the payments from the client within a month (something that I was unsuccessful at for 6 months prior). Highly recommend.
Tricia Roberts's Review Sourced from Google
We haven't worked with collections companies very often, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but my experience with Fair Capital was extremely positive. Their team was very responsive, always available to answer questions, and provided truly personal service throughout the process. They made everything straightforward and professional from start to finish. Exceptional experience overall.

Robin Baird's Review Sourced from Google
My team connected with Ahmed Mousa at Idealist to explore options for Salesforce implementation for our high-touch scholarship program. He was super responsive and worked to produce a scope of work based on our needs, addressing our concerns and answering our questions patiently while also not leading us down any direction we didn't want to go. The whole process felt tailor-made and attentive to what we needed as a nonprofit.
Peter Lewis's Review Sourced from Google
Ahmed from Idealist was great on our 1st call. He did not push my non-profit into something we could not afford. Gave me honest advice that was best for us. I'd go back to Ahmed and his team for our next Salesforce project without a doubt. Thanks.

BIG FISH PR Reviews & Testimonials
Alexandra Cavaliere's Review Sourced from Google
# Big Fish PR Review**Holy crap, where do I even start with Big Fish PR.**As VP of Her ALS Story, I’ve been around the block with agencies, and let me tell you - what Big Fish did for our Warrior Weekend was absolutely unreal.These people are MAGIC. Like, I’m not even exaggerating. When we first talked to them about the Warrior Weekend, I could tell they immediately understood what we were trying to do. This isn’t just another event for us - it’s about bringing together warriors in the ALS fight and giving them a space to connect, heal, and find strength. And Big Fish? They got that from minute one.The media coverage they landed for us was insane. We’re talking major publications - the kind of outlets that usually don’t give smaller nonprofits the time of day. But somehow Big Fish made our story irresistible to them. Every pitch felt strategic, every story placement felt meaningful. They didn’t just spray and pray with press releases. They crafted our narrative in a way that made editors actually care.What blew me away was how they made our Warrior Weekend feel like THE event everyone needed to know about. The buzz they created wasn’t just noise - it was the right kind of attention that brought in the right people and resources.But here’s the thing that really got me: they never made it feel transactional. Every conversation, every strategy session, every brainstorm felt like we were working with people who genuinely gave a damn about our mission. They celebrated our wins like they were their own family’s wins.If you’re looking for a PR team that will fight for your cause like it’s their own, call Big Fish immediately. Don’t walk, RUN. These people are the real deal, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.**Trust me on this one.
Leah Stavenhagen's Review Sourced from Google
Their amazing team went above and beyond to help our recent event get media coverage. Highly recommend!!
Laura Schmalstieg's Review Sourced from Google
I’ve been building brands for 15 years and have worked with many PR partners, but none have impressed me like BIG FISH. Their strategy, communication, processes, and talent for building relationships with publishers and media is unmatched. In just a few months, they landed major placements for Adoorn in Architectural Digest, Oprah, and Real Simple. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions about Consulting Firms
What services do these types of agencies typically offer in the US?
US management consulting firms provide a comprehensive range of services designed to improve organizational performance across multiple dimensions.
Core competencies include:
- Business strategy: Developing long-term competitive positioning, market expansion plans, and corporate growth initiatives
- Management consulting: Advising on organizational structure, leadership development, and governance frameworks
- Operations optimization: Streamlining processes, improving supply chain efficiency, and implementing lean methodologies
- Financial advisory: Supporting M&A transactions, capital allocation, valuation, and financial restructuring
- Digital transformation: Guiding technology adoption, AI implementation, cloud migration, and data modernization
- Market entry: Facilitating geographic expansion, new product launches, and competitive analysis
- Organizational change management: Leading cultural transformation, workforce restructuring, and communication strategies
According to Mordor Intelligence, operations consulting held 29.28% of the global consulting market share in 2024, while technology advisory is forecast to grow at a 6.48% CAGR through 2030.
How much do business consulting services in the US cost?
Business consulting fees vary based on experience level, firm size, and project complexity. General management consulting hourly rates range from $75 for less experienced consultants to $175-$325 for those with 15+ years of experience.
According to Consulting Success's 2023 survey of nearly 1,000 consultants, 29% of consultants use hourly rates as their primary pricing model. McKinsey senior partners charge $1,193.57 per hour according to the 2024 General Services Administration federal supply lists, while engagement managers cost $834.40 per hour.
Common pricing models include:
| Pricing model | Description | Typical range |
| Hourly rate | Charged per hour worked | $75-$300+ per hour |
| Daily rate | Hourly rate multiplied by working hours | $1,500-$3,000+ per day |
| Project-based | Fixed fee for defined scope | $10,000-$500,000+ |
| Retainer | Monthly fee for ongoing access | $2,500-$25,000+ per month |
| Value-based | Fee tied to outcomes delivered | Varies by engagement |
Should I hire a large consulting firm or a boutique agency?
The choice between the two depends on your specific needs, budget, and project scope.
| Type of firm | Expertise | Why to hire it |
| Large consulting firm |
|
|
| Boutique consulting agency |
|
|
According to Mordor Intelligence, large enterprises accounted for 71.29% of 2024 consulting spend, yet small and medium-sized enterprises are projected to record the fastest growth at 7.04% CAGR through 2030, driven by fractional consulting models and subscription-based advisory.
How long do business consulting projects usually take?
Project timelines vary significantly based on scope, complexity, and organizational readiness.
- Quick diagnostic assessments and targeted analyses typically take 2-6 weeks.
- Standard strategy development, operational improvement, or organizational design projects generally require 2-4 months.
- Large-scale transformation initiatives, including digital transformation, M&A integration, or enterprise-wide change programs, often span 6-18 months or longer.
According to McKinsey research, only 30% of transformation efforts succeed overall, with digital transformations being even more challenging, often requiring sustained commitment over multiple years.
What is the typical consulting process?
Most consulting engagements follow a structured methodology designed to ensure thorough analysis and actionable outcomes.
The typical process includes:
- Discovery and analysis: Understanding your business context, gathering data, conducting stakeholder interviews, and diagnosing root causes
- Strategy development: Synthesizing findings, developing options, and creating strategic recommendations aligned with your objectives
- Recommendations presentation: Delivering insights and proposed solutions with supporting rationale and expected outcomes
- Implementation support: Assisting with execution, change management, and overcoming organizational barriers
- Performance review: Measuring results against objectives, refining approaches, and ensuring sustainable impact
According to Consulting Success, 51% of consultants using value-based fees have an average project value of $10,000 or more, compared to 39% of consultants using hourly fees.
