Web Design Review from Chris Palliser
I work with Shift (Solar & Energy Storage Installer) and I had a great experience working with Major Tom on our brand refresh and new website. Their team is knowledgable, thoughtful, supportive, and I feel they personally and genuinely want us to succeed as a business. Shout out to Nathalie! They made me feel like a priority during any request, and delivered a polished functional design and UX that feels both national and locally grounded, exactly what we asked for. Communication was strong throughout, and they were quick to find solutions when challenges came up, as they inevitably do. Thank you, Major Tom! Highly Recommend!
Digital Advertising Review from Tim Thatcher
I've worked with Major Tom for just over 10 years in varying capacities across their Paid Media and Social Media teams. I've always enjoyed very positive working relationships, and they have offered great value and strategic guidance to media campaigns. They always add valuable insights into the data and make recommendations to improve overall strategy. It's always felt like a strong strategic partnership and they seem to have a positive working culture. Would highly recommend them as a media partner.

Our PPC and conversion rate agency worked with Manifesto on a website selling backyard nature products directly to consumers for an established company that was mainly B2B. Manifesto did the the branding and did excellent work. We've worked with them since, and I'm proud that they're in Milwaukee. Great humans, great thinkers, great work.

I'm writing this review just as our brand is hitting a decade in existence, and I still marvel at how thoughtful the Manifesto team was in their work with us. They came to the project with an attention to detail and a willingness to immerse themselves into our market (and our place in it). As a result they designed a logo that has withstood the test of time, clearly defines our piece of the Broadway ecosystem and continues to speak to our young, boundary-pushing, rule breaking customers.

Working with BexBrands was a game-changer for us at Hemp Hounds LLC. It handled basically everything (including packaging and branding) but the name.

Mehdi Yamba's Review Sourced from Google
Responsiveness, proximity and impeccable interpersonal skills. This is a very good communications agency dedicated to businesses.
Content marketing can help you shape a brand voice people can recognize.
The point is to get clear on what you want to be known for, convey that narrative into brand values, and keep publishing useful content around it until you become the main source of information to the target audience.
That only works when the content has real value, because consistency on its own does not build recognition if the material feels generic.
In that regard, having a content marketing company on board will help you establish a structure and make sure the topics and distribution support the same brand position.
That kind of support has quantifiable returns. Namely, B2B research shows that 87% of marketers said content marketing helped create brand awareness, while 74% said it helped generate demand and leads.
It also helps companies maintain momentum, as businesses with blogs have been found to generate 67% more monthly leads than businesses without them.
When hiring a B2B content marketing agency, the main thing to assess is whether they can bring commercial relevance to the work.
Here are some aspects to consider throughout the process:
Weak agencies tend to reveal their mishaps in the gaps between what they promise and how they explain the work. Here are some warning signs to look out for:
We compiled a list of top content marketing agencies across different price points so you can find a candidate that is within your spending expectations:
| High budget: $50,000+ |
|
| Low budget: $25,000 to $50,000 |

Beyond budget, our directory allows you to filter agencies by hourly rate, service type, reviews, location, team size, and more.

Rated 4.8 on Google and 4.7 on Trustpilot, DesignRush Agency Directory is a reliable resource for finding content marketing 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.
Content marketing companies create and distribute digital content intended to inform, attract, engage, retain, and inspire action across target audiences. The main goal of their produced work is to drive greater brand awareness, boost organic traffic and SEO rankings, and guide prospects through the buyer's journey to ultimately increase leads and sales.
Key services provided by content marketing agencies include:
Across the US, a content marketing company usually charges between $100 to $500 per 1000-word post.For social media content, the price usually goes between $50 and $150 per post.
The final price can vary based on a combination of factors:
Short, standard articles can take an experienced writer 1 to 3 hours to write, while research-heavy pieces may require over 10 hours. Same as with pricing, the topic complexity and research requirements affect the writing time as well.
In general, seasoned writers can produce 500 words in 30 to 60 minutes, while for the same work, a beginner might need 2 to 3 hours or more.
Here are some average time estimates by content type:
Small businesses, startups, expanding brands, and companies looking to set or correct a brand image benefit the most from a content marketing collaboration.
Businesses starting from the ground up benefit a lot from a content marketing agency as it maps out a clear strategy and builds an audience from day one. Companies dealing with a bad reputation or a complex rebranding phase also see considerable returns, as a good agency can use honest storytelling to fix misconceptions and win back trust.
At the same time, if a brand is entering a new market or launching a unique product line, specialized content helps them spread the message more easily by producing pieces in the local language.
Content marketing follows a more extended trajectory as it takes time for search engines to recognize and rank the content. As the content library expands and gains credibility, brands start to see incremental growth in 3 to 6 months.
The same goes for social media: as content compounds and reaches more people, the organic traffic gets steadier and lead generation efforts start gaining more traction.
Content marketing is the substance, i.e., the strategy of creating value to build a relationship with the intended audience. SEO is the visibility or the technical process of making that value discoverable by search engines.
Essentially, they are two sides of the same coin: SEO makes demands (keywords, structure), and content marketing fulfills them.
Across both practices, quality comes first. Namely, if the piece is optimized for a search engine but fails against the intent of the reader, the content will eventually lose its rank because it lacks topical authority.
