eCommerce Review from Anonymous
Right after launching our campaigns with Disruptive, we saw results almost instantly. Our monthly revenue jumped from about $50,000 to over $70,000. Every key Google Ads metric improved, and by November, we were already nearing $550,000 in revenue, well on track to hit our $700,000 annual goal.

We’ve been working with Disruptive on a long-term PPC strategy, and they’re constantly optimizing campaigns and landing pages based on performance. They use Google Analytics to ensure accurate tracking, Unbounce for landing page testing, and run ads through Google and LinkedIn, with knowledgeable experts for each channel.

Regarding our PPC efforts, we focus on Google Ads and Facebook Ads, and we recently started our Bing advertising efforts as well. Our ROAS is currently at about 4X5X. (Verified via email)

Brand Strategy Review from Kristian Pettyjohn
Had an excellent experience with Ben and his team at BS. Beyond being very creatively talented, their design had a lot of depth. They really explored not just our demographic, but where our products come from, the history of the mediums and also our geographic locations where we manufacture. It all built up to be a much more intentional and purposeful brand. All-in-all, quite impressed and hope to use them more in the future.

Couldn’t recommend the BS team more. They deliver the highest quality products/results with incredible timeliness and communication.

SEO Review from Ken Calof
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. The team conducted a comprehensive audit of my website and delivered proactive, actionable strategies to enhance both its design appeal and search engine performance. They then implemented the recommended changes efficiently and professionally. Shawn is hands-on, accessible, and takes the time to explain his recommendations in clear terms, which made the entire process transparent and collaborative. Within three months, my website has a noticeably more polished, professional appearance and is now ranking number one in organic search results a significant improvement in visibility that has directly benefited my business. I highly recommend Search Engine Projects Digital Marketing to any company seeking a knowledgeable, responsive SEO and digital marketing partner.
SEO Review from Marjan Khorrami
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. I highly recommend Search Engine Projects company for any business looking to grow.

We started working with them on quite a tight deadline and the way the team pulled together was impressively efficient and with high quality results.

Webflow Review from Melissa Valentino
We've partnered with Curio Digital for about five years, and they have become one of the most trusted extension teams we work with. As a creative agency, having dependable development partners is critical, and Curio consistently exceeds expectations. They have supported TDH Creative on numerous Webflow website projects, and the quality of their work is exceptional. Their development is clean, thoughtful, and technically sound, but what really sets them apart is their communication and project management. They're responsive, proactive, transparent, and consistently deliver on what they commit to. As an account lead, that level of reliability makes a tremendous difference. Curio has also been incredibly collaborative throughout the creative process. They work seamlessly with our designers and strategists, offering solutions when challenges arise while always respecting the creative vision. They don't simply execute requirements they think through the best approach and genuinely care about delivering the best possible outcome for both us and our clients. Another aspect I appreciate is their pricing. They provide outstanding value for the quality of work they deliver, and I've always found them to be fair, honest, and transparent when it comes to estimates and project scope. If you're looking for a Webflow development partner that combines technical expertise, exceptional communication, reliability, and a true collaborative spirit, I would highly recommend Curio Digital. They've been an outstanding partner to TDH Creative, and I look forward to continuing our relationship for years to come.
B2B Review from Andrew Stiefel
The Curio team has helped us evolve the Endor Labs website from selling a single product, to a single buyer, to selling multiple products to the full enterprise buying committee. Part of that included building product-led experience for platform engineers and developers alongside our existing inbound sales motion for security teams, and rapidly evolving the brand and content. The team is incredibly responsive, often turning work around same day or within a week as we prepare for major industry events and respond to industry shifts. They're fantastic partners, great humans, and I couldn't recommend them faster!

Unfortunately, my interactions with Farhad at Accuracast have been far from pleasant. Despite working on multiple projects together, the experience has consistently fallen short of expectations. Farhad's attempts to simplify complex procedures were ineffective, leaving me even more confused and frustrated, especially given my limited tech knowledge. It appears that he and the team lack genuine concern for delivering optimal solutions tailored to business needs. Overall, my encounters with Farhad and Accuracast have been disappointing, and I cannot recommend their services based on my experiences.

We were especially impressed with how quickly and effectively they stepped in to resolve any technical or other issues that arose as the campaign unfolded, and supported us with last minute requests or changes from our side.

Will Hanke at Red Canoe Media has been providing services to my clients and me for several years. In addition to providing excellent quality, he gladly helps me whenever I need assistance. He's knowledgeable, professional, and I enjoy working with him.
Jennifer Sheets's Review Sourced from Google
I cannot recommend Red Canoe more highly and ardently! 🙌🏆I was introduced to Will of Red Canoe by our web designer to complete a project for our site that was outside her scope of expertise. Going into the meeting, I felt like a child with an ill-equipped vocabulary to fully explain what it was that we were wanting to "create and provide" on our website - I only knew what our idealized final product was imagined as. Will was/is INCREDIBLE to say the least! He listened to me ramble and stammer through the idea and the want to illuminate our practice's values & service to others, via a very specific feature. After I finally shut up, he asked very direct questions that made me feel, at the close of the conversation, that even I could understand the project proposal at large. In the process of completing our project, Will was responsive, investigative, professional, receptive and oh-so patient and understanding with me. I felt at ease and more than confident our final product was going to be the best version & reflection of our idea/s. We are grateful to now have Red Canoe in our own fleet of confidantes and will be working with them again on future projects.

I also promote Will to several of my clients and friends so they in turn can have the best possible traffic for their site. You’ll be completely satisfied with them as I know I am!

Matt Frey's Review Sourced from Google
The Philadelphia PGA Section contracted Bad Rhino to help increase our audience reach across our Section, foundation, and junior tour social media accounts and email campaign systems. Marty, Rich, and Brooke were very easy to work with, and worked with us to create a customized marketing plan going forward. Our weekly calls helped to train and educate our staff, which helped with our small staff's limited bandwidth. We started seeing results almost immediately, and are excited to keep the positive momentum going the rest of the year and into next season. If you're a small business that is considering help, I'm confident that Bad Rhino will meet and exceed your goals!
Joan Kowalski's Review Sourced from Google
"I'll just do it myself, I've got a good handle on my product and I just need to post nice things on all social platforms, right?" Not really. The Bad Rhino crew showed me and my team that there's a lot more to it than that. There's really no good reason to make your social media footprint the last thing you give attention to. Done right, there's a whole world of value you need -- BR helps you find it and do something with it.

We hired Blues Junior and Mole Street Artists for our wedding last year! To say they were great would be an understatement. Brian and his team were easy to work with, required very little management, and did a superb job. Their sound was right what we were looking for, and they played both new hits as well as some older songs we requested. I would highly advise anyone getting married to reach out to their team to see if they are available or even work your date around their schedule.
Cristina Filosa's Review Sourced from Google
We saw Blues Junior in the Boom Room and were blown away with their talent. The vocals and saxophonist especially were impressive. The wide variety of songs they are able to perform make them stand apart from your typical event bands. They did everything from the Grateful Dead to a country song- appealing to all genres. I would highly recommend Blues Junior for any event.

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.
