B2B Review from Michael Zimm
It's hard to find a good B2B marketing agency but Bop Design delivers on all fronts. The whole organization is full of talented, responsive marketers who work alongside you to understand your business challenges while never trying upsell you on wasteful services (something that many marketing agencies are notorious for doing). They are experts on content marketing and creating websites design that significantly improve conversion rates. The performance metrics post-website launch were truly impressive. In the B2B space, I can't recommend them highly enough. I've been working with them for over 2 years and am as blown away by their service as I was on day one.

Their creativity, responsiveness, and can-do attitude made working with them an absolute pleasure.

They are very responsive with emails and are constantly looking to get more visibility with my Facebook page. They are very good with helping me with Facebook posts and are always looking for ways to post videos of me out and about in the community. We have monthly or every other month meetings to review statistics of google searches and how we've performed online as well as talk about what's coming in the future that they can help with. A very strong group and look forward to continuing to work with them.

Chandra Oh's Review Sourced from Google
It has been wonderful working with Rhashiva from CBI over the past several months, as he and his team have been helpful in identifying areas of opportunity and coming up with strategies to improve our website's SEO. He is extremely communicative and easy to collaborate with. We've set several SEO goals for this quarter and I am looking forward to seeing how CBI's efforts can meet these targets.
Tyler Malinky's Review Sourced from Google
More than two years ago I hired CBI to help manage my SEO during a new website launch. The maintained and improved our orgranic traffic during this complex project. I was confident that I had a very technically capable team watching for anything that needed addressed during this time, things that I wouldn't even know to look for. I extended our working arrangement and they have worked with us on our website and SEO ever since, over two years now. I view CBI as a very important part of my company, trust them 100%, and enjoy working with them. They are one of the few companies that over-deliver. Highly recommended

Digital Advertising Agency Hiring Guide
What is a digital advertising agency?
A digital advertising agency is an agency that creates, plans, and executes online advertising campaigns for businesses. It leverages various digital channels, such as search engines, social media platforms, websites, and mobile apps, to promote products or services and reach target audiences at every stage of the sales funnel.
Ad spending in the digital advertising market is expected to reach $740.3 billion in 2024. Mobile platforms will dominate, making up 70% of total ad spending by 2028.
The projected rise in programmatic advertising, expected to contribute 81% of digital advertising revenue by 2028, highlights the significance of data-driven and automated approaches in maximizing advertising effectiveness and ROI.
These projections emphasize the role of digital advertising in enabling businesses to reach and engage their target audiences in the rapidly changing landscape of online consumer behavior.
What services do digital advertising agencies offer?
Digital marketing agencies offer highly targeted, customized campaigns to turn your intended audience into a long-term clientele through the following services:
- Industry analysis: Analyzing how online consumers react to ads in your industry by understanding what they search for and what makes them click on an ad.
- Competitor analysis: Researching competitors' strategies across search engine optimization (SEO), content, social media engagement, and advertising to identify opportunities for differentiation and improvement.
- Campaign planning and execution: Creating and managing digital advertising campaigns on different channels through pay-per-click (PPC), social media, and display advertising, and email marketing.
- Creative services: Producing digital content, including ad copy, graphics, videos, and interactive media to engage audiences and convey the brand message effectively.
- Analytics and optimization: Evaluating the effectiveness of campaign performance through data and metrics and identifying areas for improvement. Adjusting strategies in real-time to optimize results and maximize return on investment (ROI).
Types of digital advertising include:
- Display ads: Visual ads appearing on different areas of a web page or an app. They can be in the form of banners, static, or animated images, or videos.
- Search engine marketing (SEM): Paid search ads at the top or bottom of search engine results pages (SERPs) on search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo.
- Shopping ads: Detailed product information with prices and images.
- Social media ads: Images, reels, carousels, or slideshows displayed on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, TikTok, Pinterest, and other social networking channels, that are highly targeted based on user demographics, interests, and behaviors.
- Online video ads: Displayed before, during, or after online video content, such as on YouTube or other streaming media platforms.
- Influencer marketing: Collaborating with influencing individuals who create sponsored content on their social media channels, blogs, or YouTube videos to endorse a brand's offers to their followers.
- Affiliate marketing: A performance-based advertising model where businesses pay affiliates for driving traffic or sales to their website through a unique URL.
- Email marketing: Utilizing targeted email campaigns to communicate directly with potential or current customers, promoting products, services, or offers, and fostering customer loyalty and engagement.
- Retargeting: Displaying ads to users who have previously visited a website or interacted with a brand, with the goal of re-engaging and encouraging them to act — buy a product, subscribe to a service, or sign up for a newsletter.
Digital advertising services' effectiveness is perfectly illustrated in the following example:
First Watch's campaign, conducted by Vert Digital, aimed to boost brand awareness of Purple Haze juice. Vert Digital created a broad, engaging campaign that featured video content and influencer partnerships across social media. This strategy led to remarkable results, including 12.7 million video views at just $0.01 per view and a total of 26.2 million impressions, demonstrating the power of targeted digital advertising in achieving significant brand engagement and visibility.
What is the difference between digital advertising and digital marketing?
The difference between digital advertising and digital marketing lies in the scope of services, tactics, and outcome orientation.
Digital advertising is a focused tactic within the broader field of digital marketing. It aims to drive immediate sales or actions through targeted online ads, such as display ads, PPC campaigns, and social media advertisements. It's designed for quick visibility and conversion, emphasizing direct promotional messages to spur short-term customer responses and generate profits.
Meanwhile, digital marketing is a comprehensive approach that includes various strategies and channels beyond advertising — SEO, content marketing, email campaigns, and social media management. Its long-term goal focuses on building brand presence, engaging with the audience, and fostering sustained business growth through developing relationships and loyalty over time.
| Aspect | Digital Advertising | Digital Marketing |
| Promotional techniques | Paid ads across various digital channels | Search engine optimization (SEO), social media management, content creation and marketing, web design and development, and more |
| Content types | More promotional with a call-to-action (CTA) | More informative |
| Goals | To generate or improve sales by promoting a product or a service | To enhance brand visibility and build long-term relationships with customers |
| Focus of outcomes | Measured by key performance indicators (KPIs) directly related to advertising metrics such as click-through rates (CTR), cost-per-click (CPC), conversions, and return on ad spend (ROAS) | Measured by web traffic, lead generation, customer engagement, brand awareness, search engine rankings, and overall ROI |
| Target clientele |

How much does an online advertising agency charge for its services?
Online advertising agencies often charge small businesses between $2,500 and $12,000 per month for their services. These costs can escalate for larger businesses with greater advertising needs.
Besides investing in the agency's services, businesses must also consider the expenses associated with paid advertisements on popular internet platforms, as follows:
| Platform | Average CPC | Factors affecting the costs |
| $1 to $2 |
| |
| $1.72 |
| |
| YouTube | $0.25 to $0.35 |
|
| $1.33 |
| |
| TikTok | $0.02 |
|

|
The top 50 digital advertising companies on DesignRush charge an average of $100 per hour. 15.34% of the online advertising agencies accept projects with a minimum budget of $1,000, while only 1.21% require a $50,000+ minimum budget.
Why should I hire digital advertising agencies?
You should hire digital advertising agencies because they can create highly targeted ads, allowing you to reach the right prospective customers who are likely to convert. These agencies also provide instant measurable results showing whether your ad campaigns perform effectively. Their reports include the number of clicks per ad, the users' location, and other meaningful attributes.
Other advantages you can gain when you enlist the services of professional digital advertising agencies include:
- Expertise: By partnering with professionals, you can take advantage of their profound knowledge in digital advertising, including pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, social media marketing, and SEM. Your campaigns will be crafted and executed by experts who understand how to maximize efficiency and effectiveness across different digital channels.
- Access to advanced technologies: Agencies provide access to sophisticated tools, software, and analytics platforms, enabling campaign optimization, detailed performance tracking, and actionable insights. Technological advantage facilitates data-driven decision-making and enhances the ability to adjust strategies for top-performing results.
- Scalability: Digital advertising companies tailoring strategies to align with your current budget, goals, and growth objectives. Scalability ensures that your marketing efforts can evolve with your business, maximizing opportunities for expansion and success.
- Adaptability: Professionals can adapt to evolving ad platforms, algorithms, consumer behaviors, and other changes in the digital world. They ensure your advertising tactics remain effective and your campaigns adjust proactively to the ever-changing online ecosystem.
- Time and resource efficiency: Entrusting your digital advertising to an agency frees up your internal resources and allows you to focus on core business operations. With experts handling your marketing efforts, you can achieve better results without the need to manage every detail directly, saving time and allowing for more efficient resource allocation.
When Pure Flix, a movie and TV show streaming service, needed to attract more signups, it hired digital advertising agency, ClickToast, to improve its ad campaign tactics. The agency restructured the client's Google Ads accounts, campaigns, and ad groups for better segmentation, visibility, and budgeting. It also segmented the Facebook ads for greater control over costs while leveraging the platform's targeting capabilities and Pure Flix's existing audience. For Microsoft Ads, ClickToast reworked and expanded one active campaign into several others.
The new campaign structure implemented by ClickToast allowed Pure Flix to maximize performance, with significant increases in:
- Overall traffic (45%)
- Overall conversions (53%)
- Paid traffic (84%)
- Paid conversions (85%)
How do I choose the best digital advertising company?

- Determine your goals and budget: Set your objectives for hiring an online advertising company and allocate an adequate budget based on these needs.
- List interesting options: Research agencies from reputable online directories and create a list of candidates you want to learn more about.

Understanding their area of expertise helps ensure they have the specific skills and experience to meet your objectives.
