      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.

      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.

      We are thankful we found this fabulous company to work with for a website re-design (we basically started over from scratch). They did a fantastic job. The work was professional and timely, and they were very patient and accommodating in addressing the many facets of Kinetic Kids with regard to website content and function. They are a wonderful team, well versed on current trends, and were helpful in giving direction.

      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.

    • Elyssa Katz

      5.0 ★

      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.

      Holt Group Inc.'s Review Sourced from Google

      Watson has been a key strategic partner for us on the creative and brand side since the beginning. We've worked with various members across the team and every member of their staff brings excellence and authentic passion to what they do. They have consistently delivered an end product that excites our customers, adding special creative touches along the way so that the results really sing. The way they're able to translate our vision and mission into deliverables across each project has been a weight off our shoulders. Not every creative agency is able to understand the nuances of our industry and we've been so impressed with the time team Watson has taken to really get to know our industry in homebuilding. We've worked with Watson on deliverables such as high level creative direction, but also getting into the nitty gritty of developing content around our warranty program. This was a huge task and they matched us with exactly the right team members to bring it to life who truly cared about getting it right. They're great friends as much as they are our business partners. We highly recommend partnering with Watson Creative.

      When we engaged Watson to help us rebrand, we knew it was going to be a challenging process. We had a long-standing reputation as a respected law firm in Portland, but we wanted our brand to reflect our unique culture and the innovative approach we bring to our clients. Watson's team was thorough and thoughtful throughout the entire process, from primary research interviews with our team to the final custom, hand-drawn identity system. The end result was a brand that not only represents who we are as a firm but also sets us apart from our competitors. We continue to receive compliments on our branding years later, and we credit Watson for helping us achieve that success.

      Winger's communication and collaboration in supporting HSG Advisors has always been a key part of the relationship as HSG has evolved greatly over the past 10 years, and even more significantly in the past 2-3. Winger has been there throughout the entire process to support day-to-day management, how to plan for upcoming market shifts we need to respond to, and meeting our team where we were throughout the entire process. I would recommend Winger to anyone looking for 3rd party support to execute their marketing initiatives.

      I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support and coaching I received from Winger Marketing, particularly from Karolyn, throughout my TEDTalk journey. Karolyn's guidance was instrumental in helping me refine my message and delivery, ensuring that I was able to effectively convey my ideas to the audience. From the initial brainstorming sessions to the final rehearsals, Karolyn's expertise and encouragement were invaluable. She provided insightful feedback, helping me to strengthen my presentation and connect with the audience on a deeper level. Her attention to detail and dedication to my success were truly remarkable. Thanks to Karolyn's support and the resources provided by Winger Marketing, I felt confident and prepared when stepping onto the TED stage. The experience was truly transformative, and I owe a great deal of that success to Karolyn! I wholeheartedly recommend Winger Marketing to anyone seeking professional coaching and support for their public speaking endeavors. Their expertise, dedication, and personalized approach make them stand out in the industry, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them. Thank you, Winger Marketing and Karolyn, for your amazing support and guidance!

      ICG-ADV took the time to deeply understand not just my organization's work, but the heart of our mission. Their work renewed, refreshed, and encouraged the entire team and even helped us see ourselves more clearly. We were able to start implementing their advice immediately, improving how we show the world who we really are. ICG’s support came at the organization's ten-year anniversary. The work they did will leave an indelible mark and launch us into the next ten years stronger than ever. If you're considering whether to work with them, I enthusiastically recommend their services.

      Whitney Anderson's Review Sourced from Google

      Working with ICG has been one of the most meaningful experiences in our nonprofit organization’s ten-year history. We came to them in desperate need of a brand refresh. Our work is deeply complex and nuanced, and for years we had struggled to communicate it in a way that people could fully understand. Because we are so immersed in the work every day, we couldn’t quite find the words to name what we do in a clear and compelling way. ICG did. From the very beginning, their team was professional, thoughtful, and deeply curious. They took the time to truly learn about our work, and in what can be a very vulnerable process, they created a space where we felt safe, seen, and understood. They also brought so much joy into the process—we laughed a lot, which made something that could have felt heavy or cumbersome instead feel energizing and human. What they created for us is hard to put into words. They brought life, voice, and light to our brand in a way we had never experienced before. They named what we had been trying to name for ten years but couldn’t. When they revealed the brand, I was overwhelmed with tears of joy and gratitude. It felt like they had captured the heart of who we are and reflected it back to us with clarity and beauty. We are continuing to partner with them on our website and video, and I am so grateful for their ongoing investment in our work. This experience has given me so much hope, encouragement, and excitement for what’s ahead. Working with ICG has truly felt like a gift. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a team that not only delivers exceptional creative work, but does so with heart, intention, and deep care.

      Studio Rental: We recently rented Impact Media’s studio space for some client interviews. It was a great space! They had it prepped for us on arrival. They have a great conference/green room right next door so the talent could be comfortable while we set up. Even though it was not the largest space it’s organized and efficient set up and we were able to fit a two camera interview against a solid backdrop. Overall the Impact team was hospitable and constantly checked in if we needed anything. We will be renting this space again 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.
