      Branding Review from Spencer Ricks

      We worked with Big Red Jelly for the rebranding for BoxHouse. Joshua Lee worked with us for several weeks, starting with brand research all the way to a completely new logo, brand identity, and branding guide. Joshua stayed with the project, even though there was a lot of pushback and hesitancy from stakeholders on the direction to go in, partly because the old brand identity had so much equity. Joshua was very communicative and was able to explain the science behind branding and why we needed to make a change, which helped get buy-in from leadership. After exploring dozens of different directions the brand identity, we landed on one that just clicked. It was simple, memorable, unique, and also borrowed some elements from the old brand identity, so the rebranding felt more like a natural evolution, rather than a complete rehaul. This was just what BoxHouse needed. We were able to launch a new website and branded materials with the new brand identity, which is helping the company as we enter a new stage of growth. I definitely recommend working with the Big Red Jelly team! During the entire rebranding process, they really operated as an extension of our team, and was great at listening and taking feedback, while also challenging us just a bit so we could land on something that we didn't know we needed at the beginning.

      WordPress Website Design Review from Gaston Magrinat

      The team is personable. The visual design is professional. When the engagement was going smoothly, communication was responsive and the relationship was positive. That is the full extent of what I can recommend.$16,610 paid across a website build and eight-month SEO programme. When the structural failures emerged commercial content hidden from search engines from day one, a broken contact form for four months, core deliverables marked complete in their own system that had never been done the pattern became consistent and never changed. Friendly responses. Reassurance. Deferral. Not in scope. Next month.When I submitted a formal nine-section evidence package drawn from BRJ's own contracts and internal records, their response was to propose continuing the retainer at $995 per month to complete the outstanding contracted work. Every item in that proposal was already in the original contract. That proposal was their own written admission that eight months of billing had not delivered what was contracted.When I declined and requested a refund, their formal written response claimed the Scope of Work was fully executed. Their own internal documents list the same deliverables as outstanding in April 2026 that were marked complete throughout the engagement. Both documents are BRJ's. Both cannot be true.Not one specific failure was acknowledged. Not one item of evidence was addressed.Mistakes happen in every agency engagement. What defines an agency is what they do when mistakes are documented and presented. This agency's answer across every avenue, verbal and written was to engage with none of it.Before signing, ask specifically what accountability looks like when contracted work is not delivered. That answer matters more than anything in the sales process.

      We had a great experience working with Rock Salt Marketing on our website redesign. From the beginning, they took the time to understand our business and industry, which led to thoughtful recommendations instead of a one-size-fits-all solution. The project was well managed, communication was consistent, and the team was always receptive to feedback. The final website is cleaner, more professional, and provides a much stronger foundation for our long-term SEO and digital marketing efforts. We would confidently recommend Rock Salt to businesses looking for a collaborative marketing partner.

They stepped in to audit the work of our migration agency and caught a number of critical SEO issues that could have seriously impacted our traffic. Their attention to detail, availability, and deep knowledge made all the difference in ensuring a smooth and healthy transition.Beyond their technical skills, theyre just a joy to work with collaborative, positive, and genuinely invested in our success. Theyve consistently gone above and beyond, and its rare to find a partner that feels this much like an extension of your internal team. Highly recommend Rock Salt if youre looking for real SEO experts who care.

When I first talked to Noah he wasn’t pushy on selling me anything. Just simply broke everything down for me to understand and made it work for me. He has helped my business stay competitive and on target with SEO and my website! I can’t thank Epidemic Marketing enough it has been over 2 years now I have been with them and I’m glad!!

      Web Design Review from Joseph Haile

      We had an excellent experience working with Sara and the team at Mojo Media on the design and development of our new EverPatch website. We needed a professional bilingual website that could clearly present our company and products to municipalities, public works departments, contractors, and other infrastructure professionals. From the beginning, Sara took the time to understand our business, our target market, and what we were trying to accomplish. Communication was excellent throughout the project. Whenever we requested a revision or had a question, the team was responsive, patient, and willing to make the necessary adjustments until we were satisfied. What impressed us most was the level of personal attention Sara gave the project. We never felt like just another client. She was accessible, professional, and genuinely interested in making sure the final website represented our company properly. The finished website is professional, modern, easy to navigate, and gives EverPatch the credibility we wanted as we introduce our products to the municipal and infrastructure market. We are very pleased with the overall experience and would confidently recommend Mojo Media to any business looking for a professional web design team that cares about both the quality of the work and the client relationship.

They know their business inside out, from technical knowledge to understanding their audience to platform efficiency. And they are incredibly patient, always enthusiastic, great at problem solving and we are extremely pleased with our final website.

      Web Design Review from Chirag Patel

      Mojo Media did an amazing job building our new website for District AV. We worked with Sara, and she was great from start to finish. From the beginning, she listened to the vision I had for the site, understood our goals, and translated that into a design that was exactly in line with what I was looking for.District AV is a residential technology design and integration company, so it was important that the website felt polished, professional, and aligned with the high-end homes and clients we work with. Mojo did a great job helping us present our services clearly, including lighting control, motorized shades, audio/video, networking, security cameras, smart home control, and support.I've been involved in building a handful of websites in the past, and this was by far the easiest process. Sara was responsive, easy to communicate with, and kept the project moving without making it feel overwhelming. The design was on point from the initial direction I shared, and the final site gave us a much stronger online presence.Since the site is still new, its too early to measure long-term traffic or lead generation results, but the immediate impact is clear. We now have a professional website that better reflects the quality of work we do and gives us a great place to send potential clients, builders, designers, and referral partners.Overall, we're very happy with the final result and would highly recommend Mojo Media to any business looking for a strong website design partner.

7 Frequently Asked Questions About Digital Strategy Agencies

How do I know if the digital strategy company I'm evaluating will execute the strategy or just sell me one?

Ask in the first meeting who will be on your account after the contract is signed. The most consistent structural flaw in agency sales models is pitch-and-switch staffing: senior operators close the deal, junior operators execute the engagement. The senior judgment that persuaded you to sign is often not what you're buying for the next 12 months. 

To protect against this, require that the Statement of Work name the specific individuals responsible for your account, along with their seniority level and the number of other accounts they carry simultaneously. Many digital strategy agencies overload account managers with 30 to 50 clients each. At that volume, no individual client gets meaningful strategic attention, and monthly "strategy calls" become status updates where someone reads your own analytics back to you. 

What are the clearest red flags that an agency is not a serious digital strategy partner?

The clearest red flag is a digital strategy firm that arrives at the first meeting with a proposal already written.

A serious digital strategy partner asks about your margins, customer acquisition costs, competitive positioning, and internal constraints before it proposes anything. Additional red flags that signal execution-only thinking include:

  • Generic proposals that could apply to any company in your sector.
  • Reporting decks that track activity (impressions, posts published, hours logged) rather than business outcomes.
  • Unwillingness to show the full timeline and revenue impact behind their case studies.

Agencies that cannot explain their week-by-week decision-making process either don't have one or don't want you examining it.

What costs typically appear after signing that weren't in the original proposal?

The three most common post-signature cost surprises in digital strategy engagements are: change orders for work outside the initial scope, consulting hours billed separately from retainer fees, and technology or platform costs that the digital strategy agency treats as pass-through charges. 

A $10,000 project can easily grow to $13,000-$15,000, and a six-week timeline may stretch to twelve weeks. All that can lead to financial overruns, reduced quality, and team burnout. Before signing, request a complete list of every line item not covered by the retainer, including: additional revision rounds beyond those specified, stakeholder workshops, tool subscriptions, third-party data licenses, and any work triggered by internal changes on your side (a rebrand, a product launch, a new market entry). 

A well-run agency will provide this list without hesitation. One that deflects is signaling a billing model that depends on scope expansion to improve its own margins. 

How much should a digital strategy company services cost?

A credible digital strategy agency engagement in 2025 runs $3,000 to $25,000 per month on retainer, or $5,000 to $150,000+ for a defined project. According to a pricing study drawing on data from 1,200+ agencies, monthly retainer costs span $3,000 to $25,000, with median spending at $7,500 for mid-market companies.

Hourly consulting rates range from $100 to $350 per hour, with senior strategists commanding rates above $250.

On the global side, the 2025 Global Digital Marketing Report by DesignRush puts the worldwide average agency rate at $97 per hour, with U.S.-based agencies averaging $124 per hour.

Should I worry about a digital strategy agency that locks me into a long contract before showing any results?

Yes, a 12-month lock-in with no performance milestone clauses is a structural risk, not a standard industry practice. Long contracts without exit provisions protect the digital strategy firm’s revenue, not your outcomes. A confident agency with a proven process should be willing to build in milestone-based reviews, typically at 90 days and 6 months. There, both parties assess whether the engagement is generating the agreed-upon indicators of progress.

At a minimum, any long-term contract should specify: what deliverables are due at each quarter, what performance benchmarks trigger a strategy review, and what the exit mechanism is if those benchmarks are not met. 

How do I know if an agency's strategy is custom to my business, or a repackaged template?

Ask the shortlisted digital strategy agencies to show you two proposals from different clients in different industries and explain the strategic differences between them. Agencies with a genuine strategy capability will have fundamentally different recommendations for a D2C consumer brand versus a B2B SaaS company. They’ll offer a different channel mix, different measurement frameworks, and different competitive positioning approaches

Agencies that apply templated thinking will show cosmetic differences: the same services with different company names on the header. A generic proposal signals generic execution. The right strategy depends on your stage, competitive landscape, and ideal customer profile. During evaluation, also listen for how quickly the digital strategy company moves to tactics. Legitimate strategists spend the first conversation asking questions; agencies selling repackaged work move quickly to talking about what they do.

At what point in the sales process should I walk away, even if the agency seems capable?

Walk away immediately if the agency makes performance guarantees, refuses to name your day-to-day account team, or cannot explain how it measures strategic success independent of vanity metrics.

These three signals do not indicate inexperience, but a business model designed to obscure accountability. Digital strategy firms that make guarantees like "first page rankings in 30 days" or "500% ROI for everyone" either don’t understand how digital marketing works or are overstating certainty to close the deal.

Separately, if an agency's reporting vocabulary consists exclusively of reach, impressions, and engagement rate with no connection to revenue, pipeline, or customer acquisition cost, the strategy layer is missing, regardless of how sophisticated the pitch sounded. If a digital strategy firm avoids sharing analytics dashboards, performance reports, or access to your own ad accounts, that's a serious warning sign. A successful digital strategy relies on data-driven decisions, and access to those numbers is how you verify you're on the right track.
