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.

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.

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.

Review from Google

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.

Agency GWL has been a dream to work with! From the very beginning, they have been incredibly easy to work with, always accommodating and adapting to our needs with ease. Their team is professional, responsive, creative, fun, and truly dedicated to our success. Their expertise in digital marketing is unparalleled. You can tell they have years of experience in this field and know what they are doing with the work they create, but also through the results we have seen. 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.

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.

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.

Brian Jones's Review Sourced from Google
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.

It's crazy, it's unique, it's incredible. The humor is between a smile and giggle. It demands a double take, which gets stuck in the brain box.

Very good agency. Very professional and *extremely* results focused which is so hard to find in agencies or anywhere these days. Ask for Tas he is client-side but knows his stuff. We got 1st page Google rankings in approx 2.5 months for a mid-tier difficulty keyword, not the typical 6 or 9 months that other agencies promise.

7 Frequently Asked Questions About Media Buying Agencies
Which platforms do media buying companies manage?
Media buying firms manage major advertising platforms where your audience spends time, both online and offline. They handle campaigns across multiple channels to reach people at different stages of the buying journey and to improve overall results.
Paid search and social Agencies run ads on platforms like Google, Bing, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok. These channels drive targeted traffic, leads, and sales based on user intent and behavior.
Programmatic and display They use demand-side platforms to buy ad space automatically across websites and apps. This includes banner, video, and native ads, all optimized in real time.
CTV and OTT (Streaming ads) A media buying firm places ads on streaming services and smart TVs to help brands reach audiences who no longer watch traditional cable.
Traditional media They still buy ad space on TV, radio, print, and billboards when it makes sense for reach and brand awareness.
Audio and Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) Ads on Spotify, podcasts, and digital billboards in public spaces like malls, highways, and transit stations.
What is the difference between media planning and media buying agencies?
Media planning agencies decide where, when, and how to advertise. Media buying firms execute that plan by purchasing ad space and managing placements.
Planning sets the strategy; buying delivers the ads.

How do media buyers choose the right channels for a campaign?
Media buyers choose channels by matching audience behavior, campaign goals, and budget to the platforms most likely to deliver results. They rely on data to see where people spend time and shift spend toward what performs best.
Business size
How agencies choose advertising channels
Typical channels
Small business
Focus on low-cost, high-return channels with quick feedback. Prioritize direct response and easy tracking.
Google Ads (search), Facebook/Instagram, TikTok
Mid-size business
Balance growth and efficiency. Test multiple channels and scale what works. Combine awareness and conversions.
Paid social, Google Ads, YouTube, programmatic display
Large business
Maximize reach and brand impact while maintaining performance. Use a full-funnel strategy across many channels.
Core logic stays the same at every level: reach the right audience, support the campaign goal, and invest where return is strongest.
How much do media buying companies' services cost?
Media buying firms usually charge a percentage of your ad spend, typically between 3% and 10%, or a flat monthly fee depending on campaign size. Smaller budgets pay higher percentages, while large budgets get lower rates.
Typical pricing models:
Percentage of ad spend: 5% to 10% for most campaigns
Flat monthly fee: $2,000 to $15,000+, depending on scope
Project-based (strategy/planning): $1,500 to $50,000+
Setup fees: 2% to 3% of initial spend (one-time)
How pricing scales:

8%-10%
$100,000-$1M
5%-8%
$1M-$10M
3.5%-5%
$10M+
3%-4%
Costs depend on your ad budget, the number of channels, campaign complexity, targeting depth, creative needs, and the amount of ongoing management and reporting required.
You are not just paying for ad placement. You're paying for strategy, execution, optimization, and performance improvement.
Is there a minimum spend?
There is no strict minimum spend, but in practice, you need at least $1,000 to $3,000 per month to generate enough data for optimization and results. Very small budgets, like $5 per day, rarely perform because they don’t generate enough clicks or conversions.
For better performance, campaigns should aim for at least 30 conversions per month, which often requires higher spend depending on your cost per click.
More advanced channels like programmatic or CTV usually require $5,000 to $10,000+ to run effectively, and many agencies set similar minimums to ensure campaigns are worth managing.
How long does it take to see results from media buying?
You can see initial results in2 to 4 weeks, but most campaigns need 2 to 3 months to stabilize and deliver consistent ROI.
Early signals like impressions, clicks, and some leads often appear within days to a few weeks, especially on paid social and search. However, platforms need time to learn and optimize, so stronger and more reliable results usually take8 to 12 weeks.
For more complex campaigns, such as B2B or high-ticket offers, meaningful revenue impact can take 3 to 6 months due to longer sales cycles and ongoing optimization.
What industries benefit from media buying services?
Media buying services deliver the most value to industries that depend on steady customer acquisition, strong competition, and precise targeting.
Those industries include:
eCommerce and retail: Drive online sales with targeted ads and retargeting
Real estate and construction: Promote listings and reach qualified buyers
Healthcare and wellness: Attract new patients with compliant, targeted campaigns
Technology and SaaS: Reach decision-makers in competitive markets
Hospitality and tourism: Capture demand with seasonal and location-based ads
Financial services and insurance: Generate leads and build trust through education
Automotive and local services: Drive inquiries and bookings through search and local ads
