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!

I had a great experience working with the OBCIDO team. Communication was clear from the beginning and their services were explained well beforehand, so I knew exactly what was offered. They stuck all deadlines and responded promptly to any emails or questions. Their selected writer/editor - Amr - who worked with me throughout the PR process, was the great selection by OBCIDO for my work with them. I would be happy to recommend them to more colleagues and artists in my community.

Ashley Cone's Review Sourced from Google
Christine and her team are incredible, I really cannot recommend them enough. I’ve seen Christine work actual magic for clients I’ve shared with her, while also hiring her for our own services. Christine goes all in for her clients, coming up with unique ways to get attention. I always thought businesses that were in the press all the time were just “lucky”, but I’ve now come to realize that they are successful because they have Christine by their side. Christine is a ninja, she does her job so well that the public doesn’t even know she’s there. Can’t recommend Poster Consulting enough!

What services do media buying agencies in the United States provide?
These types of agencies help brands with:
Performance-focused digital campaigns: High-demand campaigns across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Search, and CTV, prioritizing short-form video and measurable, creative-led performance.
Full-funnel paid media tied to creative-led campaigns: Roughly 60% to 70% of clients bundle creative and media for faster cycles, fewer handoffs, and performance-built creative.
Programmatic and CTV packages: Growing rapidly, with challenger brands investing $15K to $150K per month for scalable reach, automated targeting, and measurable lift.
Paid social advertising: Cross-platform campaigns delivering 1% to 2% average conversion rates, with top performers exceeding 3% on Meta and TikTok.
Audience & competitive analysis: Audience research and competitor benchmarking to guide budget allocation and identify the highest-ROI channels.
Analytics & performance reporting: Real-time KPI tracking, A/B testing, and optimization across impressions, CPM, CTR, conversions, ROAS, and attribution paths.
How much do media buying services in the US cost?

Conversion rate, cost per acquisition (CPA), return on ad spend (ROAS), and customer acquisition cost (CAC) to measure profitability and scalability
Attribution coverage, assisted conversions, and incrementality to understand paid media’s true contribution across channels
Budget pacing, spend utilization, and testing velocity to gauge operational discipline and optimization effectiveness
