      We were referred to Applied Art & Technology while we were looking for someone to create a new website for our boutique remodeling firm. Shannon was our Project Manager and Brandon worked on Project Development. All communication was through Zoom and email due to the distance, but that was no problem. Everyone at Applied Art responded quickly and effectively, solving problems or questions without hesitation. They kept us on track to meet our deadlines, and offered solutions when we needed it. Even after the website was live, Shannon kept an open line of communication by making sure everything was to our standards and genuinely checking in. We couldn't have been happier with the outcome of having a website that really reflects our brand and our mission.

      Leaders that care, a team that executes, and the metrics to back up the pitch. What more could you want in a partner? We've referred a dozen plus clients, and worked together on projects big and small. Mark and the Maudience team can talk the talk technically, and walk the walk creatively. Most valuable? They get 'business.' Working together, I find that we spend as much time talking about business models, sales funnels, or industry nuances as we do search engines and landing pages. With them, it's never marketing for the sake of marketing, and that's a huge advantage.

      I recently had the pleasure of working with DuckByte to build a website from scratch, and I couldn't be happier with the results. My website has a unique dual-personality, combining my freelance writing profession with my travel agency work. Rather than managing two separate accounts and sites, I wanted a unified platform, and DuckByte delivered perfectly.From the start, they created a comprehensive outline and incorporated all my ideas and feedback seamlessly. As someone who often experiences decision paralysis and needs professional input to reach conclusions, I couldn't have asked for better guidance. Alesia was amazing - patience with my thoughts and went above and beyond is tying up loose ends, from what photos to upload to setting up my email account - everything was covered, and then some.Alesia and Paul were an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, timely, and incredibly attentive to details I had overlooked. The end result is a beautiful, functional website that perfectly represents and helps grow both of my businesses. I'm thrilled with the outcome and highly recommend DuckByte for their exceptional work.

Not only has he done an absolutely phenomenal job with these, but he also formatted and edited the largest proposal that our company has ever submitted, and to say that it was well received is an understatement. Mitch and Social Organica do beautiful work, but he is also responsive, humble, and just an incredible person to work with. I couldn't be happier with Social Organica and would recommend them to anyone looking for quality and timeliness in there social media and web design needs. Great company and an even better person.

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

Target clientele 
  • Startups looking to quickly boost online visibility 
  • Brands launching a new service or product line 
  • eCommerce businesses seeking to increase conversions and sales 
  • Businesses requiring a fast and effect way to promote an event 
  • Businesses looking to establish authority, credibility, and trust among their target audience 
  • Organizations with limited budgets for paid advertising 
  • Nonprofits seeking to raise awareness, mobilize supporters, and engage with their community over the long term 

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:

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?

To choose the best digital advertising company, follow this guideline:  

  1. Determine your goals and budget: Set your objectives for hiring an online advertising company and allocate an adequate budget based on these needs. 
  2. List interesting options: Research agencies from reputable online directories and create a list of candidates you want to learn more about. 
  3. Assess specialization and expertise: Check whether the agencies specialize in certain industries or types of advertising (e.g., PPC, social media, SEO) that align with your business needs. Understanding their area of expertise helps ensure they have the specific skills and experience to meet your objectives. 
  4. Check their portfolio: Visit their websites and investigate previous successful projects to gain insights into their services, processes, and results. 
  5. Explore reputation and reviews: Read vetted online testimonials to learn what their clients think about work quality and ethics. See if you can also get recommendations from peers within your sector. 
  6. Check their client care: Find out how they provide customer service, considering their responsiveness and prompt resolutions to concerns. 
  7. Shortlist the candidates: Trim your prospects into two to five agencies. 
  8. Conduct interviews and send RFPs: Set a meeting with each shortlisted candidate and send a request for proposal (RFP) — a document that will solicit proposals from potential vendors, detailing project requirements and criteria for selection to facilitate comparison and selection of the best service provider. 
  9. Ask questions: The interviews with your potential partners are an opportunity to ask as many valuable questions as you can. Besides inquiring about their technical skills and capabilities, observe how they communicate, assessing whether you will make a good team. 
  10. Evaluate results and decide: Finalize your pick based on the assessment of the proposals and interviews.
