      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.

      We engaged Division of Labor as our boutique advertising partner for Michigan Healthcare Professionals, and we were absolutely blown away by the results. Not only did the campaigns resonate deeply they elevated our branding and connected exceptionally well with our target audience. The work they delivered didn't just look great it performed. The campaign not only helped improve patient outcomes but also effectively promoted the benefits of utilizing non-facility-based imaging and laboratory testing. The messaging was clear, compelling, and perfectly aligned with our strategic goals. What impressed us most was how far beyond expectations Division of Labor went. Their creativity, responsiveness, and can-do attitude made working with them an absolute pleasure. No matter the challenge, their mindset is essentially: If theres a question, the answer is yes just tell us what the question is. We couldn't be more satisfied with the partnership and results, and we highly recommend Division of Labor to any organization seeking thoughtful, impactful, and results-driven marketing.

      It’s been a decade since I first worked with Marc and the team at 3 Media Web, but their professionalism and collaborative spirit still stand out in my mind. They were a pleasure to work with and brought a great blend of strategic thinking and creativity to the table. I’ve always appreciated their responsiveness and commitment to delivering quality. I’m happy to recommend them as a trusted team for digital projects.

      We’ve had a great experience working with Baal & Spots. From the start, their team has been professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us grow our business. They took the time to understand our goals and put together a strategy that actually delivers results—not just promises. Their communication has been clear and consistent, and they’re always quick to adjust or provide insight when needed. It’s refreshing to work with a marketing partner that feels like an extension of our own team rather than just a vendor. Overall, Baal & Spots has exceeded our expectations, and we’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and effective marketing company.

      My business is called Oasis Senior Advisors in the Pittsburgh area and I really like working with Arlea and the team at True Fit. 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.

      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
