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 husband and I own a start up and have worked with Aly, Justin, and Austin at Clique for a complete rebranding and website redesign and are now working with Jeff for continuous marketing and managing our ad spend. I can’t say enough good things about this team and this company. They are creative, innovative, dedicated, and they CARE. They treat our business as their own, asking thoughtful questions and guiding us through our growth. Our new site visits have conversion rates have skyrocketed, doing daily numbers that our old site and unstructured marketing did in months. I can’t say thank you enough to this team.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Jeff Swartz recently, and I couldn't be more impressed with Ethic’s level of professionalism and dedication to their clients. From the moment I reached out to them, I knew I was in good hands.What sets Ethic Advertising apart is their genuine willingness to listen and understand the unique needs of your business. They don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions; instead, they take the time to customize their marketing strategies to perfectly fit your goals and objectives.I highly recommend Ethic Advertising for your marketing needs. Their stellar reputation is well-deserved, and I look forward to our partnership in the future.
Greg Leach Review from Google
5.0★
Greg Leach's Review Sourced from Google
We talked to numerous marketing firms across the US and most were either inept or wouldn’t talk to us because we’re a startup.When I initially contacted Ethic, I was so used to having a bad experience with other marketing firms, I bluntly said “we’re a startup that needs a lot of help with brand recognition, but we’re on a very limited budget. Can you help?”. The owner Jeff said “let’s talk”. We spent the next hour discussing our business operation and different marketing strategies. We then had a follow up call in which Jeff came prepared with a full presentation and spent the afternoon explaining each line item step by step of how to execute our short term marketing goals. He did all this on his own time for nothing in return. We do not have an agreement in place and there's no guarantee of future business when working with a startup.I can't thank Jeff and the Ethic team enough. They will be our “go to” for all our future marketing needs but it's not because of the free time they gave us, but rather their level of expertise. Our company launched service in January 2023 and currently has 400 app downloads. I will give a follow up review in one year to showcase the value of this experience. If you’re looking for a high level marketing company contact Ethic.

We've been working with Ethic for about a year and a half, using various forms of online advertising and strategy. They have been great partners - always quick to respond, thorough in their approach and knowledgeable in the ever changing digital ad space. Their ability to scale their services to fit our needs and budget has been extremely beneficial as well. We highly recommend Ethic to anyone looking for a quality digital partner.

Barry is just an absolute pleasure to work with. He quickly puts you at ease when you’re conversing with him about what you’re hoping to accomplish for your business/website. Since I started working with him in March, he helped me optimize my website and web presence from an SEO perspective that has resulted in a considerable increase in leads/clients. I strongly recommend Barry as someone who will work his tail off to help you grow your business. He brings an incredible depth of knowledge to the table and produces real results. Five stars.

I highly recommend Barry for whatever digital marketing needs your business requires. I had no idea how to navigate a digital presence to reach more clients but Barry was able to take the reins and assist me through the entire process. His expertise will certainly help any business get up and running or help an established business grow in the digital world. I will most certainly continue to use The Bear Consulting Firm in the years ahead and I recommend other businesses do the same!

What services do digital strategy agencies in the United States provide?
They help organizations plan, prioritize, and optimize digital initiatives that support long-term growth, operational efficiency, and competitive positioning.
Industry research shows that small businesses most frequently invest in the following digital channels:
Social media: 73%
Website optimization: 73%
Email marketing: 57%
Search engine optimization: 49%
Video marketing: 34%
Content marketing: 32%
Other common services include:
Digital roadmapping and transformation planning
Channel prioritization and investment alignment
KPI definition and measurement frameworks
Customer journey mapping and experience optimization
Marketing technology and data strategy advisory
Approximately 58% of small businesses actively use digital marketing, and nearly all plan to increase investment. Social media continues to receive the largest share of digital budgets, with 63% allocating the majority of spend to social platforms.
How much do these types of agencies typically charge in the United States?
Pricing reflects senior consulting involvement and strategic scope rather than production volume.
Based on current market benchmarks:
Mid-market strategy consultants typically charge $150–$250 per hour.
Senior or enterprise consultants often charge $250–$400+ per hour, especially in New York, San Francisco, Boston, and Chicago.
Common project-based pricing:
Strategy audits or focused roadmaps range from $25,000–$60,000.
Full digital strategy or transformation planning ranges from $60,000–$150,000+.
Ongoing advisory retainers typically range from $10,000–$30,000+ per month.
Deloitte notes that organizations with structured strategic planning reduce wasted technology spend and improve operational efficiency.
What types of companies benefit most from hiring a digital strategy company?
They are most valuable for organizations where digital performance directly affects growth, efficiency, and customer trust, especially in complex or highly competitive environments.
Common client profiles include:
Startups: Over 70% of customer interactions involve digital touchpoints, making digital strategy critical for market entry, fundraising, and early growth.
Small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs): Only 19% of small businesses currently work with a digital marketing or strategy agency, despite widespread reliance on digital channels.
Enterprise organizations: More than 90% of enterprise leaders consider digital transformation essential, driving demand for structured digital strategy and governance.
Retail and B2B eCommerce companies: Retail and healthcare each account for approximately 17% of digital advertising adoption, while pharmaceuticals represent 11%.
Healthcare providers:74% of patients report improved experiences through virtual visits, increasing the importance of a digital engagement strategy.
SaaS and technology companies:98% of consumers consider online reviews essential when making purchase decisions, reinforcing the role of digital trust and advocacy strategy.
Finance and banking firms: Online search is the starting point for 90% of loan and mortgage consumers, 85% of check-cashing users, 76% of tax preparation clients, and 72% of accounting service buyers.
How long does it take to see results from a digital strategy engagement?
Strategic digital planning impacts performance in phases rather than instantly. Realistic timelines based on industry observations are:
3 months to see initial engagement signals such as traffic increases, early awareness, or setup completion.
3 to 6 months for measurable improvements once execution aligns with strategy.
12 months or more for compounded ROI from broader transformation initiatives, including technology adoption, process integration, and governance.
This type of planning provides early directional insights before full execution results appear. Short-term wins often show in traffic or engagement, while long-term ROI emerges as campaigns compound and strategic adjustments are made over several months.
