Mobile App Development Review from Sarah Crowther
Enterprise Monkey has been an amazing team, and the support we've received from them has been outstanding. They're all invested in our success. Working with external teams can always be tricky. However, Enterprise Monkey's work culture and resource onboarding processes are excellent. We're in Virginia Beach, and they're in India. Still, they're always available. I've never experienced a long response time despite the time difference, which is commendable.We've worked with other service providers on other mobile apps that aren't under my supervision. Some of the things that make Enterprise Monkey stand out are their dependability and expertise. Enterprise Monkey delivers what they promise, indicating excellent consistency.We started working together on one project, and our engagement has led to other projects. One of these projects has been the web development one, which has been very big. Given that our organization has seen their expertise, we're now considering Enterprise Monkey for other projects.Overall, they've been very encouraging, and we've learned a lot from them. I'm sure that they've also learned from us; it's a mutual relationship.
Mobile App Development Review from Phillip Green
After partnering with Enterprise Monkey, the client booked 462 Audience, allowing the company to accrue revenue. The team was highly knowledgeable about programming. Further, they demonstrated excellent communication through virtual meetings and emails. The quality of their codes was commendable.
Mobile App Development Review from Kara Sullivan
We had weekly check-ins since the Enterprise Monkey team worked in Weekly Scrum Sprints. Communication was easy and straightforward. If questions arose from their team for ours those were quickly handled via messaging appAnd also They structured the entire project very well and easy for everybody to understand. It was easy to tell how far along they were and where hurdles or "scrum cliffs" would arise. The communication with the project lead, programmers, q&a, and the Partnerships Development Manager was very good.

Software Development Review from Jake Mackay
For quite a long time we took orders by e-mail or personally from customers. It took a lot of time, as we either made layouts by hand or printed them according to the vague requirements of clients. All these difficulties have pushed us to take a step towards the digital transformation of our business. The team of Five Jars has developed a frontend and backend for our web tool to create print layouts. The team is not afraid to take on difficult tasks!
Responsive Review from Anthony North
I was looking for companies that had experience with large educational platforms. There are some really big players in the eLearning market in Five Jars' portfolio, so I trusted their development experience. After all our platform has become more attractive to users. Over the past year, we have noticed a significant increase in daily visits, so much so that we even had to change hosting. Five Jars helped us with that too!
Small Business Review from Colin Knox
I'm satisfied with the MVP we've done with the Five Jars team. I am currently looking for an investor for this project. I love working with professionals when I don't have to dive into a whole area that I don't know. Working with the Five Jars was a real partnership where the other side fulfilled their obligations without my constant checks.

We recently partnered with Highland on research and prototypes for a new information architecture on a volunteer resources site for our Chapter leaders. Having over 3000 volunteers around the globe can introduce a lot of nuance and complexity to research and design processes. The team at Highland handled it all skillfully - focusing on how to deliver the most clarity and usability to our audience. 10 out of 10, I would recommend working with the Highland team!
Webflow Review from Lee Wiensch, CAE, CFRE
We had a great experience working with the team at Highland to develop a new website for the Thoracic Surgery Foundation, a charitable organization aimed at advancing heart and lung health for all. Highland worked with us to re-imagine a dated website with limited functionality, and developed a a gorgeous new site that beautifully reflects the vitality of the organization. We anticipate that our award applicants, donors, surgeons and grateful patients will be able to easily navigate the new site and have a much-improved user experience. Jeff Blanchard and his team were exceptionally good listeners, and worked hard to create solutions for our complicated awards program. They provided good training to our team throughout the process so that we have been able to keep things updated and easily make changes now that the site has launched. I am grateful for their patience and very quick turnaround as we juggled a new strategic plan and new branding, all at the time of the website creation. I have been continually impressed with the expertise and the innovation that Highland brings to a project like ours. It was a pleasure to launch this site -- on time and on budget -- with their excellent work and support.

I engaged Search Engine Projects approximately three months ago to improve my website's search visibility and overall online presence. Working with Shawn and his team has been an outstanding experience from start to finish.

They then implemented the recommended changes efficiently and professionally.

I was referred to SEP marketing company by an attorney friend to redesign my website and handle my SEO and marketing. He said "if it doesn't work for you I will pay everything you paid this company". From the moment we started working together, the experience has been outstanding. They created an excellent website that looks professional and is easy for patients to navigate. Since launching the new website and starting new marketing strategy, our patients traffic has increased noticeably. They also consistently create informative and engaging content for our social media, which has helped strengthen our online presence. And what truly sets them apart is their responsiveness, no matter when I call, they always answer and are always ready to help. I only wish I had started working with them much sooner.

Working with Brohouse to create the logo, brand book and newsletter solutions (design and content) was an excellent experience from start to finish. The team demonstrated professionalism, creativity and a real understanding of my brand identity.The logo created is modern, memorable and perfectly aligned with the business values. The brand book is very well structured, clear and easy to apply, offering precise rules for using visual elements and maintaining coherence in communication.Regarding the newsletters, I appreciated both the design part – clean, attractive and adapted to the visual identity – and the content part, which was well written, relevant and conversion-oriented. Everything was thought out strategically, not just aesthetically.Communication was efficient, deadlines were met, and openness to feedback made the entire process fluent and enjoyable.Brohouse not only delivers an aesthetic final product, but builds a solid identity, easy to apply and sustainable in the long term. That's why I confidently recommend it to everyone who wants a well-defined brand and a professional image.

O16 Labs have been working with me the past 3 years. It has been a huge luck for our company to have started working with O16 Labs, since we have had bad experiences with other companies before. But O16 Labs and its whole team were very professional and effective up to the point of saving our company. They have developed our Apps and Web in the most astonishing way I could never have imagined. I am immensely grateful for it and just can recommend any company to hire O16 Labs for their projects.

Ask yourself: Can I finish this sentence, "We need to [specific outcome] by [timeframe] because [consequence of not doing it]", without describing an activity like "build a strategy" or "improve our digital presence"?
If you can't answer that question, no digital strategy agency can help you yet.
Agencies are skilled at filling vague briefs with visible work.
If you walk in asking for "a digital strategy," you'll get a document, not a result.
The most common root cause of failed agency engagements isn't a capability gap on the agency's side.
It's a client who didn't define a measurable expectation before signing.
The agency becomes a cost center the moment the brief stays vague.
The BetterBriefs Project global study, published by the IPA and based on responses from over 1,700 marketers and agency staff across 70 countries, found that 80% of marketers believe they write good briefs, while only 10% of creative agencies agree.
The same study found that respondents estimated 33% of marketing budgets are wasted on poor briefs and misdirected work.
Meanwhile, the ANA's "Enhancing Client/Agency Relations" survey found that just 27% of agencies believe clients provide clear assignment briefs, and not a single agency respondent strongly agreed.
Write your one-sentence outcome and pressure-test it with your CFO or a board member before briefing digital strategy agencies.
If neither of them can connect it to a line on a P&L, rewrite it.
Shortlisting by industry vertical is one of the most common and most costly mistakes in hiring digital strategy companies.
An agency that has produced results for three eCommerce brands has not necessarily solved a B2B lead generation problem.
An agency that grew a DTC brand's organic traffic hasn't necessarily navigated the compliance constraints of a financial services company.
When reviewing agency profiles and case studies, filter for problem match, not sector match.
The question isn't "have they worked in my industry?" It's "have they solved the specific problem I have, in a comparable context, with measurable results?"
Despite this, 89% of companies say "experience in our industry" is a major factor when selecting an outsourcing provider, according to a 2024 survey of business leaders compiled by Passive Secrets, making industry match the most common shortlisting criterion, and problem match the most overlooked one.
How to shortlist effectively:
What to look for in case studies:
Red flags at this stage:
Digital strategy agencies should write down what a successful 90-day outcome looks like from their side.
Without a shared, written definition of early success, both sides spend the first quarter doing work they believe is valuable while the other side is quietly keeping score on different metrics.
By month four, the client is frustrated by the absence of visible results, and the agency is frustrated that the client doesn't appreciate the foundational work they've completed.
This pattern is common enough to have a name in the consulting industry: the expectation gap.
The financial consequences of getting this wrong are significant.
According to the ANA and 4As joint study, The Cost of the Pitch, based on 300+ interviews with U.S. brand marketers and agency executives, the average cost of an agency review when no incumbent is involved is $408,500. That’s the cost for the client alone, before accounting for the digital strategy company’s own pitch costs.
When expectations break down and a review becomes necessary, that is the price of a poorly aligned start.
The 30-day milestone should cover access, audit, and alignment.
The 90-day milestone should include at least one deliverable that tests the quality of the agency's strategic thinking before you're locked into a full year.
What to do: Send the agency your written version of the 90-day success before the kickoff call. Ask them to do the same. Where they diverge is where the relationship will break first.
The person who presents to you and the person who runs your account on a daily basis are often not the same.
This gap between the seniority of the pitch team and the seniority of the delivery team is one of the most predictable sources of post-signature disappointment in agency relationships.
Before signing, identify who will be doing the actual work on your account. Ask to meet them.
Ask digital strategy firms what percentage of their time will be dedicated to your engagement. Then assess whether that person has the experience level the engagement actually requires.
Your relative budget matters here. An agency billing $6M annually will prioritize a $150K retainer differently from one billing $900K annually.
The smaller agency may be the higher-priority client, which means more senior attention, faster response, and more accountable work.
The table below shows how staffing typically plays out by agency size, and what it means for how you'll be treated.
| Agency size | Who pitches | Who delivers | Your likely priority |
| Boutique (under 15 people) | Founder or principal | Often the same person | High, but capacity is finite |
| Mid-size (15-75 people) | Senior partner | Account director + specialist | Moderate, senior input is scheduled |
| Large (75+ people) | Business development director | Rotating account team | Depends on your budget's rank in their portfolio |
Most buyers evaluate digital strategy agencies on what they'll do when things go well.
Fewer think through what will happen when things don't go well, which, in any honest engagement, they sometimes won't.
The way an agency handles underperformance tells you more about the health of the relationship than any pitch or proposal.
Top digital strategy agencies identify problems before the client does. They come with a diagnosis and propose a course correction.
An agency that waits for the client to notice and then explains why the results weren't their fault is an agency that will cost you more than the retainer.
The data supports taking this seriously upfront. The SPI Professional Services Maturity Benchmark, a survey of thousands of professional services organizations, cited by Workday's 2025 industry analysis, found that on-time project delivery rates dropped to just 73.4% in 2024, down from 80.2% in 2021.
The same research found that project overruns rose to 11.3% over the same period.
In agency engagements specifically, a Deltek benchmark study found that nearly 40% of agenciesexceedprojectbudgets due to scope creep from poorly defined contract terms.
These aren't edge cases. They're the statistical norm, and they almost always go unaddressed until the client notices the invoice.
Before you sign, understand the digital strategy firm’s process for flagging underperformance: how often they review results against baseline, what triggers an internal review, and how they communicate bad news.

DesignRush sustains a directory of over 30,000 agencies categorized by service category, location, expertise, and reviews. We build our database in two ways:
Agencies can also reach out to DesignRush and must go through the verification process prior to being listed.
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.
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:
Agencies that cannot explain their week-by-week decision-making process either don't have one or don't want you examining it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
