Anderson Collaborative Reviews & Testimonials
Digital Marketing Review from Sean Henke
Anderson Collaborative runs our marketing reporting, google ads, marketing, and supports our digital and print design. They feel like part of our team. Anderson Collaborative's team are sharp and on top of all the ad spend movements and tweaks, especially Nazareno and Trevor. Naz's advice regularly catches things we missed and points out dynamics for our team to chew on. Anderson Collaborative's design and editing team also adapts very well. Carolina helped us re-design our entire original cookbook to digital and hardcopy format, including an entire re-design to a different book size. Not easy to do, and they nailed it. They're now helping guide us through a TikTok Shop launch. When we disagree, they talk it through with us and we land somewhere that works. If you want an agency that cares about your business and can help in a lot of different areas, I'd recommend them highly
Digital Marketing Review from Steve Canfield
We brought Anderson Collaborative in to run Meta ads for The Curious Thing, our personalized portrait gift shop, after months of trying to figure it out on our own. On day one Trevor delivered a full funnel plan and a clean campaign structure, and he has kept sharpening it since: moving our campaigns to optimize for actual purchases, sending every ad straight to a create page with the right style and product already picked, and giving new creative its own budget so each test gets a fair read. What stands out most is how deep he goes. He dug through our pixel data and even our code to explain a shift in what customers were buying, worked out which audiences had really driven sales, and his reported numbers match our own payment records exactly. When we flag something, it gets handled quickly and explained clearly, and every update tells us what changed, why, and when we will review it. It is a genuine pleasure working with Trevor and the team. They feel like a partner who cares about our business, not just a vendor running ads. Highly recommend. Full disclosure: my wife previously worked at the agency. We now hire them directly as a paying client.
Digital Marketing Review from Wendy Watson
I highly recommend Anderson Collaborative. Trevor created a beautiful logo package for my company, Summer Salt Gymnastics. My company logo is better than I envisioned. He included horizontal and stacked versions in main colors, solid colors, and black/white for the logo package. He answered all of my messages and emails in a timely manner and put together many drafts until we reached the final product. Thank you Anderson Collaborative and Trevor for your communication, quality, and creativity.

Branding Review from Tim Geldean
In creating the branding for my coaching business, Special Sauce has allowed me to transition my side job into my dream full-time career. BOCO Distance Projects youth run club has seen an increase of over 160% since we launched at the beginning of this summer. Our club logos and design have transformed the marketing of our club. Andrew and team have turned those designs into a website, yard signs, flyers, an apparel package, stickers, a team tent, and decals for my car. They all look amazing. I regularly get compliments from friends, colleagues, and strangers. And they've been a pleasure to work with from day one. Thank you, Special Sauce! https://bocodistanceproject.com/
Jennifer Smith's Review Sourced from Google
Our experience working with Andrew and his team at Special Sauce was excellent. We wanted to do a brand refresh and custom website for our company and they made the process very streamlined. Their communication was fantastic and we are so pleased with our new design and website. Shoutout to Liz as she really worked to accomodate any changes we wanted. We would recommend Special Sauce and will use them in the future!
Julianna Milam's Review Sourced from Google

Hiring Guide: How to Choose a Leading Email Marketing Company in the US
How does an email marketing company help businesses grow?
Email is the leading channel for securing leads, nurturing them, and a close second for converting them. It is also an integral part of the entire sales process, not just the early stages of content marketing.
Statistics show that nearly 4.5 billion people worldwide used email in 2025, and this number is projected to reach over 4.8 billion by 2027. This scale is one of the main reasons email marketing companies continue to deliver strong, measurable ROI across industries.
Out of all marketing and advertising channels, email accounts for 39% of usage, making it one of the top 5 most used channels, right after social media marketing with 52%, social media ads with 47%, and search advertising and SEO accounting for 40% and 39% respectively.
According to the ZeroBounce report, 93% of people use email every day, and many say it actively improves their shopping experience. For businesses working with email marketing firms, this daily engagement creates consistent opportunities to influence purchase behavior:
- 59% of consumers say marketing emails influence their purchase decisions
- 41% of respondents check their email looking for discounts from brands
- 67% prefer that emails from brands are short
- 46% of people open an email from a company because they’ve been getting consistently good emails from that company
While having a catchy subject line is important, it’s only the second reason why people open your messages, the 2025 email marketing statistics reveal.
According to reports, 46% of people open their inbox regularly to check relevant emails, while 43% open it because of a catchy subject line.
21% said they open emails regardless of the content.
Only 14% interact with their inbox out of fear of missing out, and 7% presented other reasons for checking their emails daily.
How do agencies track the performance of an email marketing campaign?
Experienced email marketing agencies use open rate, click rate, delivery rate, unsubscribe rate, and bounce rate metrics to evaluate campaign health, engagement quality, and long-term list performance.
Open rate measures the percentage of recipients who open an email and reflects subject-line effectiveness and sender trust.
Average open rates typically range from 15% to 25%, though reliability has declined due to Apple’s Mail Privacy Protection.
Best practices include personalization, keeping subject lines under 40 characters, and A/B testing.
Click-through rate (CTR) tracks engagement by measuring clicks divided by emails delivered, while click-to-open rate (CTOR) measures clicks divided by opens.
A healthy CTR is usually 2%–3%.
Personalization is crucial, as 40% of respondents report frustration with irrelevant content, and emails with visuals can increase CTR by up to 300%.
Delivery rate indicates how many emails are successfully accepted by inbox providers.
The goal for everyone is to reach a 100% deliverability rate, but that’s usually unattainable because many emails end up in spam folders that users often don’t filter through.
With an expert B2B email marketing agency, you can expect to reach a 99% deliverability rate, assuming it follows best practices.
According to the ZeroBounce survey, 78% of users mark an email as spam if the email "looks like spam".
So, even if it doesn’t immediately go to the spam folder, an email will not be considered successfully delivered when the user doesn’t get to it.
As of 2024, Gmail and Yahoo require authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) for bulk senders, making deliverability a shared responsibility between senders and ESPs.
Unsubscribe rates under 2% are considered normal, as Campaign Monitor suggests.
Segmentation, personalization, preference centers, and re-engagement campaigns for contacts who have been inactive for 6+ months help reduce churn.
Bounce rate should stay below 2% and include soft bounces (temporary issues) and hard bounces (invalid addresses).
-content-webp.webp)
Double opt-in, list hygiene, segmentation, and secured signup forms (e.g., reCAPTCHA) are key to maintaining list quality.
Does email marketing still work in 2025?
It's more effective than it’s been in years, according to Omnisend’s 2025 eCommerce marketing report, which shows global email open rates increased 6% year over year, reaching 26.6%, marking the fourth consecutive year of growth.
This sustained increase suggests that consumers are actively engaging with it, especially when messages are relevant and timely. This is why many brands continue to invest in trusted email marketing providers to manage performance at scale.
Click-to-conversion rates grew by 27.6%, indicating a shift in consumer behavior where people are clicking less impulsively, but when they do click, they’re far more likely to purchase.
In other words, email is attracting higher-intent, more purchase-ready traffic.
The revenue impact becomes even clearer when looking at automation.
The report found that automated emails generated 37% of all email-driven sales while accounting for just 2% of total email volume.
One in three people who clicked an automated email made a purchase, compared to one in 18 for scheduled campaigns. This highlights how modern email success is driven by strategy and timing, not sheer send volume.
Email also benefits from being a first-party channel, giving brands direct access to their audience at a time when paid media costs are rising, and third-party data is becoming less reliable.
With growing engagement, stronger conversion efficiency, and unmatched ownership of customer relationships, email remains one of the most reliable and scalable marketing channels in 2025, especially when paired with automation and lifecycle targeting.
How do I find an email marketing agency on DesignRush that fits my budget?
We have created a list of agencies for you to choose from based on the three different budget ranges they’re offering:
| High budget: $50,000+ |
|
| Mid budget: $25,000-$50,000 |
|
| Low budget: $10,000-$25,000 |
|
Beyond the project budget, our agency directory lets you filter agency profiles by area of expertise, location, agency reviews, client types, and team size.
What red flags should I avoid when selecting a company in the USA?
Look out for the following red flags when you start your selection process:
- Unrealistic guarantees
- Prioritizing vanity metrics
- Questionable list practices and shared sending reputation
- Weak deliverability discipline (e.g., IP warmup, list hygiene)
- Thin analytics and reporting
- Generic content and designs with no research or quality assurance
- Compliance and security gaps
- Lackluster email portfolio and poor execution signals
- Unclear governance, ownership, and contract
- Client reviews highlight poor communication, project management, and customer service
What important questions should I ask before signing a contract?
We suggest you ask an email marketing agency the following questions:
Relevant Background
