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 hired Alicia to assist our CU with a rebranding project, including a new logo. Alicia was strategic with her work, guiding our team with creating a clear foundation of who we are as a community financial institution and who we want to be. Through her work, we crafted a clear and actionable Mission Statement and her work on the new logo brought life to our marketing. Many times, since Alicia has been open to providing feedback on projects that we are working on and simply being there to throw ideas at.
Digital Marketing Review from Shaun Bernstein
I have had the pleasure of working with Alicia on several projects, but got to see her work firsthand while I was a contractor, and she was a marketing strategist for Gemineye. Alicia's deep insight into the financial services space allow her to craft copy that works. She can write headlines and messaging that convert, and has a keen understanding of the revenue generating impact of her work. Marketing in these spaces requires any marketer to understand the value add that they bring to the table, and Alicia is excellent in that department. I would highly recommend working with her on any opportunity, in any space.
Branding Review from Sarah Aleksich
Alicia possesses the unique skill set of a hybrid brand manager and creative director/designer. This would normally necessitate multiple roles, but shes able to offer an incredibly strategic approach to crafting a brand narrative, inclusive of messaging and positioning, while simultaneously creating a visual identity (with options) to match. Shes very methodical in her approach and quite skilled at working across stakeholders and incorporating all points of view. She forces you to take a step back, to look at the brand holistically and to truly understand the customer in order to build a solid foundation for brand and design work. Her framework always includes solid data, for research, benchmarking, and future reporting. I found working with Alicia inspiring, reflective, and intentional. The process was equally as rewarding as the outstanding final work product! In addition to her technical skills, shes a collaborative, compassionate, empathetic and kind personsomeone youd want to work with on any project. She would be my go to for any future brand, product positioning or creative design work in the future.

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.

FIVE STARS!

Simone understood from the first meeting that this was not a typical request and was able to replicate all under Wix. I appreciated her offer of additional improvement suggestions, such as Search Engine Optimization for the site. In this case, being a sandbox that has no goods to sell, it was not a requirement. Simone got the optional reCAPTCHA feature added which was the cherry on top of the the pie for me.Highly recommended.Paul Grossman - The Dark Arts Wizard of Test Automation on all relevant social media sites.

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.

The Colored Girls Museum has now worked with Creative Repute Design Agency on several high visibility projects . Including Custom Wallpaper designed by Nile Livingston which took center stage at Philadelphia Airport backing our installation (Sit A Spell ) which was on view for nine months. The inspiration for the wallpaper came from Niles postcard design for our show The One Room Schoolhouse . We loved the design so much we created other merch around it . At present the wallpaper can be seen at The Colored Girls Museum in the Colored Boys Room. Most recently Creative Repute turned around the poster appearing soon at Mother Bethel which is the kick off location for The Tribute to The 7th Ward Legacy Reclaimed . Walking Tour . Always a pleasure to work with Nile and her team . Excellent customer service , beautiful design work .Most important to us intuitive and client centered approach to graphic design that exceeds what we can imagine when we approach them with a sketch of an idea. Hire them !Bonus fact Nile Livingston is one of the portrait Artist at The Colored Girls Museum , now also on view at Mother Bethel.

Falls Tech Group handcrafted a new custom site for me and within a week of launching, I've already fielded half a dozen new requests for work. Their experience and design speaks for itself. Having a unique and powerful image online can do wonders for your organization. Don't settle for a generic template, it's well worth the investment to work with this crew!

Web Design Review from Lynn Ezell
Design Your Site has done a remarkable job managing our SEO and providing website development and enhancement. They also manage our e-mails. I have found them to be very knowledgable and in pace with current technology and optimization requirements. If we have any questions or concerns, they are very quick to respond, explain, and resolve, if needed. We are very happy with the service and products.
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.
Rated 4.8 on Google and 4.7 on Trustpilot, DesignRush Agency Directory is a reliable resource for finding digital strategy agencies. We owe this to our executive selection team, which follows a strict screening process when featuring agencies on the platform, assessing key performance indicators, like portfolio, client reviews, and industry reputation.
Learn more about DesignRush Agency Ranking Methodology.
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.
