      This agency was only used for a short period. A pleasant and responsive team but not quite as strong on strategy, C-Suite engagement/interviewing or ensuring our organisation provided enough information to achieve the best results.

      I had the pleasure of partnering with Media FRENZY to help with brand repositioning and strategic work, and the experience was phenomenal. They were truly amazing partners—strategic, creative, and always willing to push us when needed. Their in-depth process ensured every detail was addressed, and they remained open to discussions, feedback, and exploring new concepts with us. Media FRENZY consistently brought fresh ideas to the table, showcasing their ability to think outside the box while keeping our goals at the forefront. Their collaborative approach and dedication made them excellent partners throughout the journey. Sarah, Dave and team were professional, collaborative and quite frankly, a FUN team to partner with. If you're looking for a marketing agency that combines strategy with creativity and genuinely listens to your needs, I absolutely recommend Media FRENZY.

      As people who have worked full-time in the culinary media industry since 2018, we have a list of companies who are fun to work with and a list of the ones who are NOT so fun to work with. The team at Praxis PR definitely falls under our “FUN” category of partnerships, as we recently partnered on a campaign that was enjoyable from start to finish. The team understood the importance of creating content true to our unique tone and supported us in delivering one of the best pieces of work we have submitted to date. We look forward to partnering with the team at Praxis PR again soon!

      Praxis... What can I say about this company? Well, as an outside contractor (photographer) who has had the pleasure of working with them on various projects and activations for many years I can tell you that they're one of my favorite clients and working with them has allowed me to provide photos for some really top shelf clients. First off, they all have SUCH a great attitude and personality, from the account managers to the accounting team, and right up to the bosses, and I'm always looking forward working with the team because of this. The events/activations they put together are like no other, the attention to detail, the venue selection, the food that goes with their pairing menus, everything is always so very well thought out, designed with a keen eye for detail, and perfectly executed. Lastly, as a contractor, never had issues with payments, always on time, and the communication is bar none. I give them a 5/5, if I could give them a 10/5 I would, and if I were on the other side of the fence looking for the best PR firm for my brand, I'd be knocking on the Praxis PR door.

      I worked with Almost Impossible on the branding of several startups and had a great experience throughout. Their team has a strong ability to take early-stage business concepts and turn them into distinctive, compelling brands with clear positioning and personality. What stood out most was their strategic thinking and ability to work effectively in fast-paced startup environments, balancing creativity with commercial objectives. They were collaborative, responsive, and consistently delivered high-quality work across multiple projects. I'd happily recommend Almost Impossible to any organization looking for a branding partner that understands both brand building and the realities of launching and growing new ventures.

      danish khan's Review Sourced from Google

      "Almost Impossible brought a very sharp and refreshing perspective to the launch of Country Arabia’s premium chilled meats range. Instead of following the usual FMCG route of idealised family cooking, they found a much more ownable way to communicate convenience: Lazy Recipes. The campaign was funny, simple, highly relevant to the product, and built specifically for how people consume content on YouTube and social media. What I appreciated most was that the idea was not creativity for the sake of creativity. It was rooted in a clear product truth: if even the laziest cook could make something with Country Arabia, then busy families and everyday consumers could immediately understand the benefit. The work helped us stand out in a crowded category, delivered strong engagement, and gave the brand a tone that felt fresh, practical and memorable. Almost Impossible understood the brief, challenged the obvious route, and turned a product launch into a campaign people actually wanted to watch.” Best part I get to know the Joseph , friend for life

      I recently worked with Hooman to build a website and design product packaging for my business, and I couldn't be happier with the results. He is incredibly professional, approachable, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. He took the time to understand our vision and preferences and incorporated them with finesse. The website they built is modern, visually appealing, and user-friendly, and the product packaging design perfectly captures the essence of the brand. Overall, I would highly recommend Hoooman Studio to anyone in need of design services. Their expertise, attention to detail, and dedication to customer satisfaction are truly impressive.

      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'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.

      I give this company 100% for customer service, they truly define what it means to go the extra mile. We’ve worked together on one project so far, which I already felt was perfectly fine, but they went above and beyond by revamping the entire site to a much higher standard and creating a more visually impactful result. What I really appreciated was their honesty and professionalism: they offered valuable advice and implemented their own recommendations without charging extra. They are always available when needed and respond to queries promptly and efficiently. I highly recommend Mr Arup and his team any day!

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.
