      Dashboard Design Review from Tappan Parker

      Outright helped us design and develop the Systems Change Lab data platform. They worked with us every step of the way to come up with innovative and intuitive designs that worked well for us in our development process and for our users in understanding our data and research. They had quick turn arounds and really helped us get to a product that we still get compliments on the design of today. Outright was fabulous to work with and I'd absolutely recommend them for your next design project!

      Video Production Review from Idel Mena

      They were an incredible partner from start to finish. They led the full creative direction and production for our campaign featuring Michael Douglas, delivering a video that not only looked amazing but performed exceptionally well, earning over 6 million views on YouTube and significantly more across paid channels. What stood out most was their ability to translate our mission into content that resonated across the political spectrum, engaging both conservative and liberal audiences. They brought strong creative and strategic thinking to the table, not just execution. The team was highly responsive, organized, and easy to work with throughout the entire process, and they handled high-profile talent seamlessly. Across multiple campaigns, including local initiatives, they consistently delivered high-quality work and exceeded expectations. We fully trust them as a partner and would absolutely work with them again.

      Branding Review from Elyssa Katz

      The Outright team is an absolute joy to work with! They took us from a kernel of a brand identity to a fully realized brand, merging two organizations, cultures, and constituencies into one under significant time constraints. Since we began working with Outright in August of 2024, we have developed and launched our core brand and related assets as well as three event brands, three sub brands, and a variety of practical digital and print assets. Not only is Outright's creative consistently excellent, but they are also a practical partner able to work with agility as an extension of your team. Our experience was so positive in initial brand development work that we've continued to work together for over 18 months and have signed them as a partner for separate digital campaign projects where they again delivered results that accomplished our internal team goals and exceeded the expectations of our external stakeholders. I would recommend Outright to anyone looking for a true creative thought partner.

      PPC Review from Viet Nguyen

      We've had a very positive experience working with HK Digital as our paid media partner. As an ecommerce business focused on sustainable growth and performance accountability, we value partners who combine strategic thinking with reliable execution and HK Digital has delivered on both. From the start, the team demonstrated strong organisation, clear communication, and a collaborative mindset. They took the time to understand our business goals, customer acquisition challenges, and revenue targets, then translated those into structured paid media strategies across our core channels. One of the biggest strengths of HK Digital is their ability to balance performance optimisation with long-term growth thinking. Reporting is clear, actionable, and focused on outcomes that matter to the business not just channel metrics. The team is proactive in identifying opportunities, testing new ideas, and refining campaigns based on data. Since working together, paid media has remained a major contributor to our ecommerce revenue, with campaigns consistently driving qualified traffic, supporting customer acquisition, and helping us scale efficiently. Their responsiveness and willingness to adapt quickly to business needs have made them feel like an extension of our internal team rather than an external agency. Compared to other agencies we've worked with, HK Digital stands out for professionalism, reliability, and a genuinely collaborative approach. They are solutions-oriented, dependable, and focused on delivering measurable impact. I would confidently recommend Travis and HK Digital to any ecommerce brand looking for a performance marketing partner that understands both the commercial realities of running a business and the technical execution required to grow it.

      Performance Marketing Review from Carol Shih

      We've partnered with HK Digital as a performance marketing partner and have referred business back and forth with full confidence. Travis Herndon is extremely knowledgeable, direct, and efficient the kind of partner who doesn't waste time, overpromise, or hide behind buzzwords. His customer service and response time are excellent, communication is clear and matter-of-fact, and most importantly, the results speak for themselves. Travis approaches performance with discipline and accountability, which is exactly what serious brands need. If you're looking for a straightforward, high-integrity performance partner who delivers without the noise, HK Digital is a strong choice.

      Content Marketing Review from Gina Sinotte

      BEWARE.This company is a total SCAM. This company offered me a Subcontractor Job over two years ago. I flew to another state for 5 days, three days of production meetings, 3 days of location scoutings and two overtime 12 hour days of Professional Event Photography Coverage. The client had me upload images night of... Jumper Media was given my payment and never gave it to me. Two and half years later I was not paid for the work done. The owner of this company Jumper Media kept my payment, and never paid me. Two years later in July 2024, the owner of Jumper Media offered to send me $1,000.00 via Venmo, to DELETE my BAD YELP REVIEW. I took the $980.11 that Jumper Media sent me via Venmo. Then, four days later the OWNER OF JUMPER MEDIA, yanked that money back, and Venmo took the $980.11 out of my bank account! He had purchased insurance on my payment of $1,000.00 to delete the bad yelp review because I was never paid for a job 2.5 years later! SO HE said he didn't like my services and got $1,000.00 back on his Amex and then $1,000.00 back via Venmo. Venmo took the $980.00 out of my bank account four days later!!! And now leaving my with a $1,000.00 debt that I owe to Venmo. All due to this JUMPER MEDIA!!!!! Bec the owner of this company got insurance on his venmo transaction with me. I edited my review and he still kept the $1,000.00. So not only was I out $2,800.00 for the job Client flew me out to do, and I delivered my images to night of. But now I am out another $1,000.00 due to this Jumper Media VENMO DEBT!!!!!! Leaving me with $3,800.00 out of pocket. I would never ever recommend working with this company!!! Luckily one month ago, I was able to get a hold of the CLIENT and they finally paid me my original price from the job and my Professional Photography Services from 2.5 years ago. The CLIENT said JUMPER MEDIA paid me. But it was a lie!!! THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE copyright Infringement case!!!! THEY ( JUMPER MEDIA ) LIED!!! The client was using my image

      Jumper Media has done a superb job for my business! Since working with them, my event center consistently shows up in the top results when people search for venue spaces in my area, and I’ve been receiving so many more calls directly from Google Search. Special thanks to Olivia, who first introduced me to Jumper Media and set me up with the 7-day trial that gave me the confidence to sign on. And a huge shout-out to Cameron, my account manager — he is absolutely amazing! We meet monthly, and he is always so encouraging, motivating, and helpful. Cameron truly goes above and beyond to keep me inspired and on track. The whole Jumper Media team is professional, effective, and genuinely cares about their clients’ success. I couldn’t be happier and highly recommend them to anyone looking to grow their online presence!

      Partnering with Jumper Media has made a significant difference for my business. Prior to working with them, I was not receiving calls or traffic through Google. Since utilizing their services, my rankings have improved substantially, and I am now consistently appearing in the top three results. This increased visibility has translated into greater traction and growth for my business. I highly recommend Jumper Media for their expertise and results-driven approach. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

      Zachary and his team at FIG are top notch. I hired them to run an advertising campaign for an event our agency was doing in the Denver market, and from first reaching out to them to after our event was wrapped they were exceptional. They were extremely professional, took the time to sit down and gage our needs for our agency, and created incredible ads that brought our agency and event incredible success far exceeding my expectations. They communicate very well and it's clear they genuinely care about their clients. I would highly recommend FIG for any marketing/advertising needs you have!

      Sean and Keanu have been amazing to work with. We've been working with Power for several years, now and they have been the only marketing team that truly makes me feel like they care. They pivot quickly when things aren't working out, and the SEO work they've done and suggestions on the website have brought so much success to my small business. Each time we have a call, we brainstorm new ideas to bring in more business, and the work that they do is thorough and done in a timely fashion. I'd recommend them 100%.

      This marketing agency is outstanding. They have some of the best talent that you could find anywhere and their office is pretty cool also. It’s in an old renovated Asian food store and they’ve kept the look of it while still modernizing it to accommodate their new business office.

      Doug C's Review Sourced from Google

      I have worked in outreach efforts as a sort of spokesperson, with other firms and also R&R Partners and I have to say all the firms have been good and professional. R&R not only excelled there, but they were very helpful and encouraging when I was nervous. I am not a professional by a long shot, but they made me feel like one during the shoots. I have seen their work for the fundraising promotions they have done for many years for the hospital and clinic where I am a patient. Each year they keep raising the bar and I am honored that I got to work with them. The people I worked with have been with the firm for many years. In this day and age of technology, that is not common. Thank you for your work and how you continue to drive the fundraising for the ALS clinic and Barrow as a whole.

      Jade Carr's Review Sourced from Google

      I've worked with Outsauce Media on two shoots so far - one for a personal training photoshoot and another for a dance workshop in a studio - and both experiences have been excellent. He is not only professional but easy to work with, but also genuinely creative. He took time to understand my vision, but what really stood out was how he went above and beyond by suggesting shots I hadn't even thought of. Those extras ended up giving me new content, which was a huge bonus for my brand. The final photos and video looked incredible and really helped me elevate how I present my business. I'll definitely continue working with Outsauce Media for all my future content needs. Highly recommend!

      ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Trent is an absolute professional from start to finish. His creative direction is second to none, and he made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Before the shoot, Trent set up a detailed Pinterest board to ensure we were completely aligned on the vision, which made the day run effortlessly and allowed us to execute everything exactly as planned. The turnaround time for the photos was incredibly quick, and the results were phenomenal—beyond what I could have hoped for! I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Trent again for future projects. If you’re looking for someone who’s creative, reliable, and genuinely passionate about what they do, Trent is your guy. Highly recommend!

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.
