      Branding Review from Shira S

      We partnered with Agency Squid to refine and elevate our brand identity for a SaaS platform in the B2B space. Operating in a competitive landscape, we needed strong positioning, messaging clarity, and a compelling visual presence to stand out. From the very beginning, the Agency Squid team demonstrated a deep understanding of our market, challenges, and goals. They asked the right questions, offered valuable strategic insights, and walked us through a structured branding process that was both collaborative and efficient. The outcome was a refreshed brand strategy that clearly communicates our core value, differentiators, and relevance to our target audience. We received high-impact messaging frameworks and creative assets that are now integrated into our website, sales materials, and marketing campaigns. What we appreciated most was their thoughtful, ego-free approach and consistent responsiveness. Every milestone was met on time, and they were always open to feedback, ensuring we were aligned throughout the project. This branding work has already improved our sales conversations, marketing performance, and overall brand perception. It was a seamless and professional experience, and were excited to continue working with Agency Squid in the future.

      Agency Squid is truly unlike any other ad agency out there. There is no ego involved and they listen to what their clients needs are while still challenging them to think about things differently. The smaller but mighty team is well rounded and each bring a different perspective to the table. I would recommend them for any design/marketing, product promotion or special project. Doesn’t hurt that their workplace is so cool too!

      We’ve had a great experience working with Baal & Spots. From the start, their team has been professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us grow our business. They took the time to understand our goals and put together a strategy that actually delivers results—not just promises. Their communication has been clear and consistent, and they’re always quick to adjust or provide insight when needed. It’s refreshing to work with a marketing partner that feels like an extension of our own team rather than just a vendor. Overall, Baal & Spots has exceeded our expectations, and we’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and effective marketing company.

      Integrated Marketing Review from Allyson Burroughs

      I had the pleasure of working with Modo Modo Agency in 2022, when I was responsible for the complete renovation of Ricoh North America's brand narrative and visual design system, across all channels and all audiences. There were three immediately necessary elements - 1) internal communications materials about the overhaul of the brand narrative in order to build trust and enthusiasm internally for the new strategic direction of the company, 2) recruitment marketing assets to attract new talent to the organization very rapidly, and 3) go-to-market assets for multiple vertical industries where Ricoh was strategically focused on specific levels of growth. Modo Modo Agency helped me lead the charge by generating extremely valuable internal communications materials, visual design system assets, manager and leadership guides and more to help with evangelizing internally the evolved brand narrative and the new strategic plan set forth by the CEO. They also created a significant number recruitment marketing assets for a number of digital channels to help build excitement around the brand, attract talent, and encourage employment applications for the significant number of open positions the company needed to fill. Lastly, we worked closely on GTM initiatives across paid and owned channels for the specific vertical industries Ricoh had identified in their strategic growth plan. The team is strategic, focused on meeting business objectives, and delivering on the critical KPIs of each program. Modo Modo Agency stepped in quickly, delivered smart, well-executed, and effective assets for all the audiences and channels we needed to address. I would enthusiastically recommend them and would most definitely hire them again.

      This is our first year at Peach Bowl, Inc. working with Modo Modo. In fact, we're literally months into our business relationship. I'll be able to provide a more thorough review later, but we have found Modo Modo to be an intensely engaged agency. They have very talented people in the design chairs and the account management team. They've been extremely responsive in terms of learning how we like to work, and reacting accordingly. We made the decision to leave one agency and sign on with Modo Modo, and the best thing I can say at this point is that we are not disappointed in our decision. We've seen and are expecting top-shelf work from them.

      I had the pleasure of meeting with Jeff Swartz recently, and I couldn't be more impressed with Ethic’s level of professionalism and dedication to their clients. From the moment I reached out to them, I knew I was in good hands. What sets Ethic Advertising apart is their genuine willingness to listen and understand the unique needs of your business. They don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions; instead, they take the time to customize their marketing strategies to perfectly fit your goals and objectives. I highly recommend Ethic Advertising for your marketing needs. Their stellar reputation is well-deserved, and I look forward to our partnership in the future.

      Greg Leach's Review Sourced from Google

      We talked to numerous marketing firms across the US and most were either inept or wouldn’t talk to us because we’re a startup. When I initially contacted Ethic, I was so used to having a bad experience with other marketing firms, I bluntly said “we’re a startup that needs a lot of help with brand recognition, but we’re on a very limited budget. Can you help?”. The owner Jeff said “let’s talk”. We spent the next hour discussing our business operation and different marketing strategies. We then had a follow up call in which Jeff came prepared with a full presentation and spent the afternoon explaining each line item step by step of how to execute our short term marketing goals. He did all this on his own time for nothing in return. We do not have an agreement in place and there's no guarantee of future business when working with a startup. I can't thank Jeff and the Ethic team enough. They will be our “go to” for all our future marketing needs but it's not because of the free time they gave us, but rather their level of expertise. Our company launched service in January 2023 and currently has 400 app downloads. I will give a follow up review in one year to showcase the value of this experience. If you’re looking for a high level marketing company contact Ethic.

      Sarah McKinley's Review Sourced from Google

      For the past 20 years, our company has been honored to help some of the world's best firms restructure sales and marketing divisions. We had engaged Alliance Interactive to redesign a 200-page website with functionality improvements; the scope of work was massive. At the time, our website ranked well and with sufficient conversion rates, but it needed to be modernized. However, it was imperative that conversion rate, branding and search engine results be maintained. Therefore, we began looking for digital marketing companies to assist with a complete redesign. For context, we budgeted about $35,000 for the website redesign and overhaul project. Therefore, we had many digital marketing firms to choose from. After interviewing about a dozen, we ended up choosing Alliance Interactive. They blew away expectations. Our project manager was extremely smart and innovative. He learned our business advantages very quickly and made great suggestions. Alliance Interactive made our site look very creative, yet kept it user-friendly. The visual layout was artistic, yet professional. We could not have been happier. Very smart investment on our part and thank you to the Alliance Interactive team.

YouTube advertising companies split costs into two categories: ad spend and service fees. Ad spend is what you pay YouTube. Service fees are what the agency charges to manage campaigns and produce videos. 

Core cost breakdown: 

  • Ad spend: $0.10 to $0.30 per view or impression  
  • CPM: $4 to $10 per 1,000 impressions  
  • Video production: A few hundred to $5,000+ per video  

The cost depends on your target audience, ad format, campaign goals, competition level, and the quality of your video production and management. 

What types of content perform best on YouTube?

Content that performs best on YouTube is useful, engaging, and feels real, not overly polished or salesy. 

The strongest formats consistently combine value and attention: 

  • How-to and DIY videos solve a clear problem  
  • Reviews and “I tried…” build trust and proof  
  • Behind the scenes show authenticity  
  • Listicles are easy to follow and fast to consume  
  • Challenges keep attention through suspense  
  • Reactions and conversations create a connection  
  • “With me” videos build engagement and retention 

How soon can you see the results of YouTube advertising?

You can see initial results from YouTube advertising within a few days, but reliable, optimized results usually take 2 to 6 weeks of testing and refinement

Early data comes fast because campaigns start generating views and clicks immediately. However, meaningful performance depends on testing multiple variables, such as targeting and creatives. Most campaigns need enough spend and iterations to identify what works before scaling. 

How do YouTube ads compare to other platforms?

YouTube ads outperform most platforms in video engagement and intent, while offering strong targeting and lower costs than TV. Still, Meta ads are often better for fast conversions and social reach. 

YouTube works best because users come to watch content, not scroll. That creates higher attention and longer watch time. It also uses Google data for precise targeting and gives strong analytics.  

Meta ads reach users quickly in feeds but often receive less attention. TV reaches a broad audience but lacks targeting, flexibility, and performance tracking. 

Platform Strengths Weaknesses Best use cases
YouTube Ads High engagement, strong intent, precise targeting, flexible formats Slower to optimize, requires video production Brand awareness, education, storytelling
Meta Ads Fast reach, strong targeting, quick setup Lower attention, shorter watch time Lead generation, quick conversions
TV Advertising Massive reach, strong brand recall Very expensive, no targeting, limited tracking Large-scale brand awareness

How do YouTube advertising companies measure the success of your ads?

YouTube advertising companies measure ad success by tracking engagement, clicks, and conversions against your campaign goal. 

Companies should tie each campaign to a clear outcome. If the goal is awareness, focus on views and watch time. If the goal is traffic or sales, focus on clicks and conversions. Raw views alone are not enough; you need to see if people watch, engage, and take action. 

Key metrics to track: 

  • Views: How many people watched your ad  
  • Watch time and retention: How long they stayed engaged  
  • Click-through rate (CTR): How many clicked after watching  
  • Conversions: Sign-ups, purchases, or leads generated  
  • Cost per result: How much you pay per view, click, or conversion  
  • Brand lift: Changes in awareness, interest, or perception  

Platforms agencies use: 

  • Google Ads: Performance, costs, conversions  
  • YouTube Analytics: Engagement and audience behavior  

Success means that the audience doesn’t just see your ads, but it’s watching them, clicking, and driving measurable business results. 

Why should you hire a YouTube ads agency instead of managing ads yourself?

You should hire a YouTube advertising agency because they reduce wasted spend, speed up results, and manage complexity that most teams cannot handle internally. 

Running YouTube ads requires constant testing, targeting, creative optimization, and data analysis. Most in-house teams lack the time, experience, or tools to do this efficiently. Agencies already have proven frameworks, know what works, and avoid common mistakes that burn budget.

What is the recommended starting budget for YouTube advertising?

Most businesses should start with $10 to $50 per day, which equals roughly $300 to $1,500 per month for testing and initial optimization. This budget is enough to generate initial data, test audiences and creatives, and identify what works before scaling spend.
