Codedesign Reviews & Testimonials
Lucy Saint-Antonin Director of Communications & Marketing at TLScontact
5.0★
Digital Marketing Review from Lucy Saint-Antonin
I really enjoyed working with the Codedesign team. They have a very methodical approach, first analysing and understanding business needs and then proposing the most appropriate strategy to meet those needs. They were very responsive throughout the digital project that we worked on with them, and demonstrated strong expertise on topics such as Google and Meta ads, and SEO strategy, helping us to increase traffic and conversions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any project requiring digital marketing expertise.
Rita Corrêa Mendes CEO at Grupo Hug
4.7★
Digital Marketing Review from Rita Corrêa Mendes
I chose to work with Code Design on the launch of Grupo Hug because I believe they possess essential characteristics that are extremely important to me in a digital agency: team qualitification, digital expertise, credibility, client results orientation, a holistic digital approach always with an interest in going beyond a simple objectives briefing. They are very responsive and collaborative, and we have a fluid and transparent communication. They are available, always seeking to meet our needs reactively but also proactively.

Lucy Ji Co-Founder at Irritated Inc.
5.0★
Digital Advertising Review from Lucy Ji
We brought Y'all in to audit our Meta and Google campaigns and tell us what was broken. They dug into campaign setups, creative performance, audience targeting, and spend efficiency, then handed us a clear, actionable plan to fix it. The results were hard to argue with. ROAS jumped 184.6%, purchase routing became smoother, and our budget started working a lot harder.What impressed us most was how tailored everything felt. They took the time to understand our brand before making a single recommendation. Nothing was generic. They also walked us through the findings in a recorded session and hosted a live Q&A so nothing got lost in translation. Professional, responsive, and genuinely collaborative from start to finish. No complaints at all.
Kristen Elworthy Marketing & Growth at Lawnbright
5.0★
Digital Marketing Review from Kristen Elworthy
Y'all has been fantastic to work with for us, a small e-commerce company heading into a scaling year. We found Y'all when looking to up our creative game in 2026 and have been thrilled with their ideas and execution, as well as how quickly they have learned our brand.We quickly brought them on to do paid media buying as well and they have been instrumental in helping us scale spend and revenue during our busy season. Most importantly, they are collaborative, responsive, smart and data driven.For a boostrapped ecomm brand, bringing on agencies is always a huge financial commitment and it can be nerve wracking. Y'all's founder and team clearly care about their clients and outcomes, they go the extra mile, and they are committed to their success. We find them to be true partners.
Neha Salgaonkar Director of DTC at Save Trees
5.0★
Performance Marketing Review from Neha Salgaonkar
When we started working with Y'all, we were spending just $2,000 to $3,000 a month on Meta. Our goal was to scale that spend profitably while keeping customer acquisition costs in check. They did exactly that. New customer acquisition grew measurably and ROAS moved in the right direction, all without blowing past our CAC targets.What made them stand out was how plugged in they were. The team monitored our account closely, often sending daily updates and making quick adjustments without needing to be prompted. They never felt like an outside agency. They genuinely cared about the brand and it showed in how they worked. No complaints from our end.

Eddie B's Review Sourced from Google
Extremely disappointing experience.I hired Starke Marketing to run my marketing campaigns. Over two months later, I’ve received no deliverables, no active campaigns, and no response to multiple emails or phone calls. Missed key sales periods like Memorial Day without any explanation or action. I ultimately had to terminate the relationship and request a full refund. No Refund was processed.If you value your time and business momentum, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. This company overpromises and severely underdelivers.

Starke Marketing built a new website, and integrated a Woo Commerce shopping cart for us. I couldn't be happier with the results, the website is everything we could of hoped for and more. Richard and the team were a huge help in getting everything up and running for us, and Leah kept us informed through every step. I highly recommend Starke Marketing for any website or marketing needs, as they do a fantastic job, while treating you like family!

Richard delivered a website that was everything we wanted. He answered every single one of our million questions. He never ran out of patience & he & his team have a wealth of knowledge & experience. The marketing team is equally fabulous. You won’t find a better group of people to work with. Thank you Starke Marketing!!

Christian Martin's Review Sourced from Google
It's extremely rude and unprofessional to hang up on someone. Sarah needs some customer service training.Update:I am writing to address the recent review I submitted, which you have deemed "false." I want to emphasize that my review accurately reflects my experience and is not intended to be malicious or misleading.Many of the agencies my employer works with have in-house videography teams. These teams often collaborate with external vendors for overflow work or specialized projects. My review was not motivated by the decline in our potential collaboration. Rather, it was prompted by the unprofessional and disrespectful manner in which I was treated during our interaction.Specifically, I was disappointed by the fact that you hung up on me during our conversation. This abrupt and rude behavior is not acceptable and does not align with professional standards.I believe that open and honest communication is essential for building strong professional relationships. I hope that you will take my feedback into consideration and strive to improve your customer service practices in the future.

Their team is professional, responsive, creative, fun, and truly dedicated to our success. Their expertise in digital marketing is unparalleled.

They have a deep understanding of the latest trends and techniques, ensuring that our campaigns are always ahead of the curve. Since partnering with them, we have seen our marketing efforts reach new heights.Additionally, Agency GWL has played a crucial role in enhancing our overall brand. They have brought fresh, innovative ideas to the table and continuously execute them flawlessly. Agency GWL knows what they are doing, and I trust them completely with our marketing. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Agency GWL to anyone who is looking to elevate their marketing efforts.

Ryan McLimans's Review Sourced from Google
We did multiple projects with Strikepoint in 2020 and enjoyed the entire process. I would dial them up again in a heartbeat (and have). As a client, it was refreshing to have a team of pros working way ahead of me, on top of all the notes and changes, and chasing me down instead of the other way around -- which can be the case with a lot of agencies. Best of all, SPM gets direct response. They listen but aren't simply order-takers, they defend, especially Brent, creative decisions which can move projects in a surprisingly better directions that the "in-house team" didn't see.

Sukle Advertising is the kind of client every service partner hopes to work with. They're consistently appreciative, communicate with clarity and respect, and approach every interaction as a true two-way relationship. You can feel how much they value the people they work with — their internal team and outside partners alike — and it makes the work itself more rewarding. Sharp creative, genuinely kind people, and a culture you can sense from the very first conversation. Highly recommend.

What KPIs should your business track when working with these agencies?
When working with a media buying agency in the US, KPIs should be selected to reflect both media efficiency and business impact, ensuring performance is measured beyond surface-level engagement.
Key KPIs to monitor include:
Impressions, reach, frequency, and CPM to assess delivery efficiency and audience exposure
Click-through rate (CTR), cost per click (CPC), engagement rate, and video completion rate to evaluate creative and audience relevance
Conversion rate, cost per acquisition (CPA), return on ad spend (ROAS), and customer acquisition cost (CAC) to measure profitability and scalability
