Website Redesign Review from Laura Edralin
Sammy is one of those people that if you're lucky enough to find her, you never want to let her go! She's got a brilliant way of understanding what you need, gently clarifying the scope of the work - when everything can feel incredibly overwhelming and unclear from my side! From the moment I began working with Sammy I felt in safe hands. She is an 'above and beyond' person that has made the biggest difference to my business.
My investment with Sammy has resulted in an increase in enquiries through my website and I often get comments on how lovely my website is and how clear and relatable my messaging is: often the reason people convert from a visit on my site, to a paying client.
The journey for my audience starts when they first land on my page and therefore it needs to speak in my voice, and with my values. Sammy has diligently picked these up and presented my business in a visible way - in a searchable and discoverable way - and, furthermore, I couldn't be more grateful of her collaborative and kind way of working with me.
An excellent website designer who SEOs the shizz out of conscious, heart-led businesses, like mine. Get in touch with Sammy, I could not recommend more!

Web Design Review from Sharon Williams
This is my 2nd time working with Sammy. I needed website and branding design for my new training company and going back to Sammy again was a no brainer after the success of my previous therapy practice website.
I completely trust Sammy and she really cares about the businesses and the people she works with - only wanting the very best. Sammy's support is second to none. Sammy worked tirelessly to get us launched and creating the narrative behind my branding and logo is a story I look forward to sharing for years to come.
I have really enjoyed having you as part of the team for this new business launch Sammy - thank you so much! I wholeheartedly recommend your web and brand design services and your new template shop is a great option for anyone starting out in business.

Steve Drury of Web-aviso made getting my books published and promoted a breeze. He did everything allowing me to just worry about writing it! He then used his own network to promote it internationally. I would not have written the two books he has handled for me without his help and expertise!
Thanks to his work, my books are handsome, hardcover books (he even designed the attractive cover art for me) with very exquisite, appropriate artwork scattered throughout!
All this with no money from me, just a very fair percentage of sales income for his efforts!

I required a personalised book designed and printed in a short time frame, and Steve was recommended to me. I have no technical expertise in this field and at all stages of the design proofing and printing my hand was held by Steve, via supporting and informative emails. His consummate experience and patience made me extremely comfortable with a new experience and the result exceeded my expectations. I cannot recommend his services highly enough and unreservedly give him a FIVE STAR recommendation.

The Black Raven team are always a pleasure to work with. They are dedicated, hard-working, and never shy away from a big or unconventional idea — in fact, they thrive on it. Time and again they've taken our most out-of-the-box briefs and delivered results that exceeded our expectations. They're our first call for anything creative and ambitious, and that's not something we say lightly.

We consistently have a great experience when working with Black Raven Media. Seamus and the team take time to more deeply understand not only our client's needs but to also understand the entire category and formulate unique approaches as a result. The team are always solutions focused and easily pivot if roadblocks present in tricky executions. Highly recommend.

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.
Proposals
