      Small Businesses Website Development Review from Jeff Rex

      Gidds Media was great to work with. As a small company they supported us and were very responsive with everything we asked - always there to help. Further, when we transitioned from a small company to a medium sized one with multiple locations, bringing certain functionalities in house, they were incredibly supporting and helpful all along the way. They definitely put their customer's interests first, and I strongly recommend them!

      Digital Marketing Review from Undisclosed

      On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest rating, I rate D2 a 10. As someone who worked at an ad agency/PR firm, I know how hard it can be to meet a client's expectations, yet D2 has done that and more with us (the Rail team at ODOT). I look to them for expert advice and recommendations, outstanding and effective creative, and responsible fiscal decisions—and they deliver finally, I know they will be our advocate in trying to help us accomplish our goals. and that is ultimately why I highly recommend this organization!

      Eleanor Davis's Review Sourced from Google

      If I could give more stars, I would. I recently worked with Corduroy on two separate documentary-style video series. Both projects involved challenging and complicated content, quick timelines, and a lot of creative problem solving. Corduroy blew me out of the water with their energy, enthusiasm, creativity, and their willingness to educate themselves and become deeply familiar with our programming and the subject matter before the process had even begun. Not only that, but they were incredible listeners - always genuinely asking for and receiving feedback, and looking to me and my team as the experts on the subject matter of the videos. Working with Corduroy felt like a real creative partnership in a way that it hasn't always with other video production companies I've worked with. And, to top it all off, they are wildly talented. The videos they produced for us are incredibly beautiful - the footage is gorgeous, they hit all the perfect key points, and the videos are educational and effective at teaching as much as they are inspiring and moving. The team is a joy to work with and talented to boot - can't recommend them highly enough!

      From the proposal stage to the final video, everyone at Corduroy were great to work with. We couldn't trust them more with producing a video that would evoke the emotions and motivation from our audience to learn more about our outreach programs. Brandon, our Producer and Director was fantastic throughout the project and we are so pleased with how he and his team transformed the untold stories of our participants into a moving and inspirational video. We definitely hope there will be more opportunities to collaborate again in the near future!

      I've worked with this San Francisco video production company on several higher-ed projects and have been extremely happy with both the process and the end product. Corduroy goes above and beyond to ensure projects are successful. They are also a pleasure to collaborate with and bring a level of passion and professionalism to projects that is truly profound.

      William Chappie's Review Sourced from Google

      Reversed Out has been an outstanding partner for our business over the last decade! Adam Koehler and his team have designed and supported two websites for two different salon businesses we have opened in the last 15 years – Studio 900 Salon in Cincinnati and Elements Hair Studio in Northern Kentucky. Adam has consistently proven his personal commitment to us – as his clients. He and his team’s speed and quality of response to any issues or ideas we have had for our websites - have never disappointed. As a business owner, he has an incredibly solutions driven and customer focused mindset. Reversed Out’s approach to website design is collaborative and opportunity-driven. And their results speak for themselves. Our salon consistently ranks 1st in the Greater Cincinnati market based on their work and their knowledge of SEO as well as Key Word search terms for our industry. Attached are several images of our Salon Website landing page as well as a snapshot of our current Google Rank. Reversed Out has also helped us as business owners tackle our unique challenges to differentiate our salon’s business, a salon with 20+ co-located Independent Contractors. Their work, in part, has also resulted in consistent recruitment of top Cincinnati talent to the salon and a direct impact on our bottom line. Thank you, Adam and Reversed Out for years of excellent service and support!!

      I had a wonderful experience working with Reversed Out for my eBook cover design. Their team genuinely digested my novel's concept, genre, tone, protagonists, and conflict. The corresponding artwork's attention to detail brilliantly reflected each of those story elements. Releasing in 2023, "Free Will and Fate" could not have been granted a better first impression for prospective readers.

He listened to what I wanted and took what I said and created the perfect logo! He made the first step of starting my own company easy!

      We had a great experience working with Spotlight Media on our custom business website for Wellness District. They gave our site a much more visually appealing and business-focused look, making a big difference for our brand. Megan Suedback was fantastic to work with throughout the design, development, and deployment phases. She has a great eye for detail and continues to help us create beautiful and functional additions to our site. Her creativity and expertise make the process smooth and enjoyable. We also worked with Nick Schommer during deployment and ongoing optimization. He’s extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with. Anytime we need updates or adjustments, he’s quick to help and always reliable. Overall, we’re really happy with the work from Spotlight Media and appreciate their professionalism and expertise. Highly recommend!

      When our family purchased Jacuzzi Hot Tubs of Fargo and Ulrich Pool Company we knew that we wanted a marketing partner that would work with us and help us to grow our business from the beginning. The team, led by Mike is passionate about all things marketing and steps up to the plate to help us make the most of our marketing and advertising dollars. The engagement we get from so many team members is amazing, it is as though they are on our payroll. The different integrated platforms that we are using, the ability to adjust as needed to get results and the various reporting methods so we are able to know what is working the best is very important to us. Spotlight Media's dedication to our success is evident is all they do for us and we are grateful for the partnership. We look forward to continued success and would highly recommend Mike and his team to others.

      It was a pleasure working with PUREi on a new Catalog Design. What seemed like a daunting task (data to design), ended up being an enjoyable experience. I’m an Art Director for a company that manufactures thousands of products. We were searching for a Design Agency with database-to-design integration. After viewing the Catalog Design samples on the PUREi website (along with other Design, Video and Photography samples), I had no doubt that the finished product would look beautiful. From start to finish, the project went smoothly. Everyone at PUREi is a pleasure to work with; and using Trackfront, their project tracking tools, made workflow, communications, and approvals a breeze. In addition to being knowledgeable and communicative, their creative and technical staff, Sarah and Ben, did an outstanding job, delivering a well-organized and beautifully designed Catalog. I highly recommend PUREi for Catalog Design and all of your Creative and Marketing needs.

      Aaron Cooper's Review Sourced from Google

      My Institute created a collection of 16 short videos as part of a parent education project. I was initially reluctant to hire a "small town" production company with prices far more reasonable than the big city bids we received. But my expectations were exceeded in every way. Purei was so professional all across the board: production, editing, directing the actors--in every way they were superb (and I'm a very tough customer to please LOL). We were working during the constraints of the pandemic and they moved things forward beautifully and sensitively. I cannot sing their praises enough, and am keeping my fingers crossed that my organization will find the funds to do another project so I can use purei once again.

      We're in insurance, so leads can be tricky. Lots of people call but aren't actually interested. We reached out to them with a little bit of confusion. But their team asked smart questions from the start, like what service areas, and what kinda calls actually work for us. A few days in, and calls are already coming in that make sense. Feels like someone finally gets how our business works. recommended!

      This was my first experience in having a commercial done. I was as green as they come. I couldn't be happier with my experience and the end result of the filming. Murph was amazing, so patient with me and really LISTENED to my concerns and vision of what I really wanted out of the experience. The whole production crew were professional, down to earth and incredibly nice to everyone involved. I enjoyed their company so much that I consider them friends now. I highly recommend working with Rock Advertising and would definitely call on them again if I have a need in the future!

Hiring Guide: How to Choose a Leading Media Buying Agencies in the US

What should I look for in a company’s track record or case studies?

As programmatically sold advertising is projected to reach over $400 billion in the US by 2026, evaluating a company’s track record requires a sharper focus on scale, sophistication, and measurable impact.

Case studies should go beyond isolated wins and demonstrate repeatable performance across channels, budgets, and market conditions.

  • Quantified results such as ROAS, CPA reduction, revenue lift, or pipeline impact, with specific numbers
  • Channel and media mix clarity, including how platforms were selected and sequenced
  • Creative and testing strategy, showing how messaging, formats, or audiences were iterated to improve performance
  • Scalability evidence, proving results held or improved as spend increased
  • Attribution and measurement approach, explaining how success was tracked and validated
  • Industry or use-case relevance, especially experience with similar budgets, markets, or buying models

Can a media buying agency manage both creative and media, or do I need additional vendors?

With 50% of connected TV advertising budgets expected to be transacted programmatically in 2025, the line between creative and media execution continues to blur, especially as campaigns increasingly combine CTV, digital, and traditional channels.

Traditional media continues to play a major role in large-scale reach, with more than 125 million TV households in the US and radio reaching 85.6% of American men over 55 each week. As a result, creative alignment becomes especially critical when managing campaigns that span linear TV, CTV, and digital platforms.

Many full-service media buying agencies now manage both creative and media to support this convergence, handling everything from ad development to placement, optimization, and performance measurement.

Others specialize strictly in media execution, requiring brands to bring creative in-house or work with additional vendors. The right model depends on how integrated and fast-moving the campaign needs to be, but as programmatic CTV scales, tighter creative-media coordination is increasingly a competitive advantage.

How do you choose the best agency in the United States for your goals?

1. Define your objectives

Clarify the business outcomes you want from paid media campaigns. Identify target audiences, key channels, budget ranges, timelines, and any internal constraints or dependencies.

2. Shortlist candidates

Identify 3 to 5 agencies with proven experience in your industry and media channels that match your objectives. Review case studies, client rosters, campaign outcomes, and awards to assess past performance.

3. Assess reputation and client feedback

Check independent review platforms, client testimonials, and references to evaluate reliability, service quality, and the ability to meet deadlines, KPIs, and budget commitments. Look for evidence of transparent media reporting and optimization practices.

4. Send a request for proposal (RFP)

Provide a detailed brief including campaign goals, target audiences, deliverables, reporting expectations, and timelines. A clear RFP ensures you receive comparable, actionable proposals from shortlisted agencies.

5. Conduct discovery and capability sessions

Meet with the shortlisted agencies to discuss their media buying approach, targeting strategies, creative-testing processes, programmatic or CTV capabilities, attribution frameworks, and collaboration model. This helps gauge their strategic fit and operational expertise.

6. Select an agency partner

Choose the agency that demonstrates strong strategic alignment, relevant experience, contemporary practices, and the ability to optimize campaigns as your business and market evolve. Ensure they can provide both performance-driven insights and transparent reporting.

What questions should you ask before hiring a media buying agency in the United States?

Before hiring a company, we recommend asking the following questions to assess expertise, transparency, and campaign fit:

Relevant Background

  1. What are the most successful media buying campaigns you’ve executed recently? Can you walk us through the brief, targeting strategy, and results?
  2. Which media channels are your strongest competencies? Is it Meta, TikTok, Google, YouTube, CTV, or programmatic?
  3. In which industries do you have the deepest experience (e.g., DTC, fintech, sports tech, B2B)
  4. How do you stay informed about shifting CPMs, algorithm changes, and attribution trends?

Services and Processes

  1. What is your process for media planning and budget allocation across channels?
  2. What tools and platforms power your buying (DSPs, attribution tools, analytics dashboards)?
  3. What does reporting look like: frequency, depth, KPIs, and transparency of media costs?
  4. How do you handle programmatic fees, platform markups, and pass-through costs?

Related to Your Project

  1. Based on our goals, what risks or constraints should we be aware of (budget levels, creative volume, data quality, timeline)?
  2. How many team members will work on our account, and what is their experience with similar media budgets?
  3. How will you measure and attribute ROI, especially across cross-channel or CTV campaigns?
  4. What level of involvement is required from our internal team during the engagement?
