Ruby Digital Agency Reviews & Testimonials
Shopify Review from Bob Long
Lance and his team have been fantastic to work with. We needed to redo our website and store into Shopify. We also needed to convert our Affiliate program to Up Promote. Lance went a bove and beyond our expectations. He is super responsive and is very good at understanding the core goals of the business and then helping to create a system that meets those goals as we defined the vision and strategy we wanted to employ. He is very helpful also at helping to figure out ways to use the Shopify platform and the various integrations to accomplish our goals. Sometimes it has required some custome programming and integration. He is very solution centric and is a trusted advisor we have come to rely on. He has been a key part of the first year growth we have experienced as we launched our products. Best person I have ever worked with in this space.
Web Development Review from Mark Brown
Lance has completed the project as originally requested and we are very happy with the results. We look forward to undertaking new projects with him in the future.
Web Design Review from Jack Nazy
This is the second project that we work with Lance on. I would highly recommend Lance for any Digital Agency looking for a responsive and reliable person to work with. Lance not only knows what he's doing, but also takes the time to understand exactly what his clients are looking to get done. If there are issues, he will come in and figure out the best course of action to tackle the job. I highly recommend Lance, and will be using Ruby Digital for another project very soon. Cheers!

Web Design Review from Brittany Ferguson, CPA
We've had an excellent experience working with K & A Performance. He built both our company website and our in-house application, and the quality of his work has been outstanding. He is incredibly responsive, works quickly, and consistently brings great ideas to the table. What I appreciate most is that he doesn't just build what we ask for he takes the time to understand what we're trying to accomplish and often suggests better, more efficient ways to get there. Whether its developing something new, making updates, or troubleshooting an issue, he is dependable, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Having someone we can trust to handle both our website and internal technology has been a huge asset to our business. I highly recommend him to any business looking for a talented, responsive, and forward-thinking IT professional.

Fife Signs's Review Sourced from Google
Couldn't be happier with the customer service Christy B has provided! I've been running a sign shop for 17 years and know this kind of service is above and beyond. We have been wrapping large trucks for Anheuser Busch that Advertising Vehicles supplies and the quality of the prints and customer service has been top notch!
Adriana Marie's Review Sourced from Google
Five stars. We had a trailer wrapped here about 10 to 12 years ago and came back because the quality held up and the pricing is still very affordable. The office and showroom are beautiful and the whole place feels well run. We plan to wrap our work trailers here as well since they’ve earned our trust twice now.
Jon Jepson's Review Sourced from Google
We have done multiple truck wraps with Advertising Vehicles over the past 5 years and can't speak highly enough about our experience. Jason, our Rep, is Professional, Courteous and most of all in a "now" world very responsive. The quality of the graphics outway anything I've seen in my 20 years at my current job. I/We highly recommend anyone to Advertising Vehicles.

Brian Lack's Review Sourced from Google
I run LV Laser Engraving and have done business with VPS for a couple years now to service my Mimaki 6042 MK ii E. Last week, my machine broke down. We immediately called VPS to schedule a tech around 11am and were told we would get a call back as Thomas was at lunch. Around 5pm, we called to follow up as we had not received a call back as promised. We were told that we would get our call back the next morning. The next morning, we called because they still hadn't. Thomas took the call and we complained that we felt like we were having to chase down a tech to help us. Thomas said he would take charge of our issue to make sure the communication breakdown ceased. We were able to schedule a tech for Monday morning. Joao came out and was very professional, diagnosed that it was our tube pumps that needed replacement. He said that the shipment would be in on Thursday. Thursday comes, our printer is still down and we call to follow up with VPS. We are told that the pumps had to be back ordered and they were not sure when they would come in.We immediately cancelled the order and contacted another company in Nashville around 7pm there local time. We had the pumps we needed in hand the next morning by 10am and were up and running around 1pm.VPS's failure to properly follow up and communicate ordering issues with us has really put a sour taste in our mouths. We rely on them as our printer professionals, but we had to chase them down, just to schedule a tech and then the tech failed to properly update us on our back ordered order, wasting more precious time that our deadlines didn't permit. Had I waited for VPS to call me, I would still be down right now, with no communication and only wondering what my status is. IF you decide to deal with VPS, know up front that you will need to be responsible for all follow up and if there are issues, you will not be informed until you chase down an answer.This hurts my heart to write this review, but they really left us in a bad situation with no regard for the impact it had on our business. We trusted they were on it and if there were any issues, they would reach out, but none of this happened.UPDATE: Jacqueline called to follow up and we had a really good, constructive conversation about where things were falling through the cracks. I could immediately tell how much she cares about their customer base and she wanted to quell any potential issues. I appreciate her time, her level of care and the commitment to doing better moving forward. I could not ask for more. You can feel confident that if any troubles arise, VPS will make it right. BIG THANKS!

Hiring Guide: How to Choose the Best Creative Marketing Agency in the US
What can creative agencies in the United States do for businesses?
They help businesses build recognizable brands, differentiate in crowded markets, and convert attention into demand.
At a practical level, top creative marketing firms strengthen brand systems (identity, messaging, design language), develop campaign concepts, and produce assets that are consistent across channels and teams.
While, the best B2B creative agencies help translate complex products into simple, memorable stories, build sales enablement systems, and create repeatable asset libraries that reduce production friction over time.
Ultimately, this translates to higher revenue and business growth.
According to McKinsey’s The Value of Business Design, top-quartile design index performers saw a 32% higher revenue growth and 56% higher total returns to shareholders (TRS) over a five-year period compared to industry counterparts.
Moreover, it observed a 25% uplift in sales for businesses that implement design metrics and user research.
What kind of ROI can I expect from creative services?
The return on investment from creative services depends on factors such as your business objectives, distribution channels, and the maturity of your measurement and attribution processes.
That said, strong creative are often associated with higher performance across industries.
WARC’s ROI Benchmarks show that the median revenue ROI of successful campaigns has increased to approximately 4.25:1, up from 3.86:1 in earlier reporting.
Nielsen’s research further demonstrates how execution quality affects results. In one study, average ROI ranged from $0.25 per dollar spent to $2.60 per dollar spent, depending on targeting accuracy and creative effectiveness.
In practice, the most reliable way to estimate ROI is to clearly define the primary metric you are optimizing, establish a baseline, and outline how the creatives will be tested, refined, and scaled over time.
How long do creative projects usually take?
Timelines depend on stakeholder alignment, approvals, and production complexity, but common ranges are 1-2 weeks for simple digital assets and 4+ months for more complex projects.
Below is an estimated timeline of the top creative firm services:
- Branding
- 2-5 weeks for a logo and a basic visual identity refresh
- 1-3 months for comprehensive branding projects
- Presentation deck
- 2-5 days for a basic 10-slide design without animations and custom illustrations
- 1-2 weeks for a 10-slide design with custom animations and illustrations
- Layout for a 10-page white paper or report: 1-2 weeks
- Graphic design
- 1 week for a custom illustration with 2-3 variations
- 2-3 days for an infographic without custom illustrations
- 1 week for an infographic with custom illustration
- Social media
- 1-2 weeks for 10-20 static social media assets with pre-approved templates and high-quality product photos
- 2-6 weeks for 10-20 social media assets that have a mix of static and animated content
- Web design
- At least 6 weeks for a full web design
- ~1 week for a custom landing page design
- 1-2 weeks for dynamic and animated website banner ads
How do I choose the best US creative agency for my business?
Consider these steps to choose the right partner for your business:
- Clarify your needs
Specify your goals, requirements, performance metrics, budget range, and timeline. Collect references to better describe your vision. - Shortlist candidates
Research agencies with proven experience in your industry and target market to ensure they understand your specific challenges. - Evaluate expertise
Review portfolios, case studies, client reviews, awards, and recognitions to verify reliability, delivery, style alignment, and long-term support. - Issue a request for proposal (RFP)
Send an RFP to your shortlisted candidates and compare pricing models, contracts, and asset ownership to find those that provide the best value for money. - Schedule an interview
Meet the team working on your project and ask about their approach to your project, process, and workflow. - Choose your partner
Select a creative agency that aligns with your brand and team dynamics, delivers tangible business outcomes, and has exemplary customer service.

What common mistakes should I avoid when hiring a creative agency?
Avoid these common missteps that lead to misalignment, wasted budget, or weak outcomes:
- Choosing based on visuals alone: A beautiful portfolio isn’t proof of strategic fit. Ask how the agency measured outcomes and what constraints they solved.
- Not defining goals or scope upfront: Without a clear objective (pipeline, launch, repositioning), creative becomes subjective, and timelines slip.
- Hiring without relevant industry/audience experience: If you’re B2B, look for proven expertise in longer cycles and multi-stakeholder messaging, not just consumer campaigns.
- Ignoring process and communication fit: Mismatched review cadence and unclear ownership are major timeline killers and can increase overall rates.
- Failing to clarify revisions, ownership, and IP rights: Confirm how many revision rounds are included and what rights you receive (source files, usage, licensing).
- Skipping reference checks: Client feedback often reveals whether the agency is reliable under real deadlines and shifting stakeholder input.

Frequently Asked Questions About a Creative Agency
What services do these agencies in the US offer?
Creative marketing agencies in the US offer a comprehensive range of services that help businesses capture audience awareness and engagement. The most common services include:
- Branding: Crafting a business’s visual identity, including its logo, color palette, typography, and brand icons.
- Graphic design: Producing printed and digital materials for a brand, including posters, presentation decks, annual report layouts, and signage.
- Marketing and advertising materials: Creating graphics and animations to promote a brand, including social media posts, paid ads, and digital storefronts.
- Web design and development: Building a company’s website and its accompanying landing pages, so that it’s intuitive, engaging, and fully functional.
- Video production: Developing commercials, social media videos, onboarding videos, and other video content, and often involves scripting, recording, and post-production services.
- Experiential & event marketing: Designing tradeshow booths, conference materials, and AR/VR experiences to attract and engage attendees.
Many agencies bundle these services, so strategy, design, and production stay aligned across channels.
How do creative agencies in the US differ from marketing or advertising agencies?
Mainly, an American B2B creative agency focuses on the production aspect of the content, while marketing and advertising agencies prioritize distribution.
However, many marketing and advertising agencies have an in-house creative team and vice versa, helping projects stay on task and budget.
Here are more details about their differences:
