DesignRush industry experts identified the top-performing creative agencies in California that help brands attract their audiences and generate loyalty. You can use our practical tool to filter them by rates, reviews and size. Additionally, you can visit their profiles for more info on their awards, services, portfolios and more.

Organic rankings are determined by five factors: top services, reviews, portfolio, awards/press, and team expertise. Sponsored listings pay for a placement that appears above organic positions. Sponsorship does not affect star ratings or review content - read more on our methodology page.

      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.

      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.

      I only had a couple of months to complete my new website project and Studio 22 met my deadline. They respond quickly, and are good communicators. They’re the only team I’ll use to update my website, and they’re easy to work with remotely. I would absolutely recommend them.

      Our arts organization interviewed three firms and Studio 22 came out on top because their aesthetic merged that of a high-tech organization and one of an arts organization. They delivered on time and the CEO was attentive and always available either in person or remotely. When we did meet in person, they were very easy to deal with. Studio 22 was great and I can only say positive things about them. We’re continuing to work with them on other projects.

      Been working with PromoShop LA for several years now and they never disappoint. Their team is always quick to respond to any queries and are extremely fair. Pricing, delivery, product quality - all top-notch. The real game changer though is their creativity. They've got some fresh and unique ideas for promotional items that have been a big hit for us. Highly recommended if you need quality and creative promo stuff.

      Eleanor Davis's Review Sourced from Google

      If I could give more stars, I would. I recently worked with Corduroy on two separate documentary-style video series. Both projects involved challenging and complicated content, quick timelines, and a lot of creative problem solving. Corduroy blew me out of the water with their energy, enthusiasm, creativity, and their willingness to educate themselves and become deeply familiar with our programming and the subject matter before the process had even begun. Not only that, but they were incredible listeners - always genuinely asking for and receiving feedback, and looking to me and my team as the experts on the subject matter of the videos. Working with Corduroy felt like a real creative partnership in a way that it hasn't always with other video production companies I've worked with. And, to top it all off, they are wildly talented. The videos they produced for us are incredibly beautiful - the footage is gorgeous, they hit all the perfect key points, and the videos are educational and effective at teaching as much as they are inspiring and moving. The team is a joy to work with and talented to boot - can't recommend them highly enough!

      From the proposal stage to the final video, everyone at Corduroy were great to work with. We couldn't trust them more with producing a video that would evoke the emotions and motivation from our audience to learn more about our outreach programs. Brandon, our Producer and Director was fantastic throughout the project and we are so pleased with how he and his team transformed the untold stories of our participants into a moving and inspirational video. We definitely hope there will be more opportunities to collaborate again in the near future!

      I've worked with this San Francisco video production company on several higher-ed projects and have been extremely happy with both the process and the end product. Corduroy goes above and beyond to ensure projects are successful. They are also a pleasure to collaborate with and bring a level of passion and professionalism to projects that is truly profound.
