The McKay is one of the most dynamic and professional teams I have ever worked with! Their customer service is exceptional. They go out of their way to ensure that our campaigns are successful, our messaging is consistent, and everything is on-brand. They also supply us with data to evaluate and optimize every campaign.

The McKay team has been amazing to work with and has done an excellent job helping us launch our new digital campaign. The account team has been with us every step of the way including helping us rebuild the website, digital brand, and content to drive revenue. I would highly suggest contacting them to discuss your digital marketing needs. "Rachel Scharfman's Review Sourced from Google
Top notch agency doing some really innovative things with activation and retargeting. We've worked with McKay on a few mutual client projects and they always come to the table with knowledge of the latest trends, technology, and best practices for a successful campaign. Plus they always track results and ROI to ensure ad dollars are well spent. Solid team! "Andrew Lee's Review Sourced from Google
McKay Advertising & Activation did an outstanding job of driving traffic and registrations to our event. Using only half the budget of the previous year, we saw a 24% increase in ticket sales and, more importantly, a 30% increase in attendance, indicating that our ads were getting to the right people. They provide insight and guidance throughout the process to ensure you are getting the most out of your digital advertising dollars--no "set it and forget it" happening here. Highly recommend. "Cyber Florida's Review Sourced from Google
I have done a great deal of work with local advertising agencies and in my experience McKay Advertising is the premier expert in digital advertising. They also have a wonderful tool, the Digital Communications Audit (DCA), that can help advertisers better understand their digital strengths and weaknesses. They don't just do ads, but help clients better understand and optimize their digital strengths and weaknesses. "Loyd Pettegrew's Review Sourced from Google
McKay Advertising + Activation is one of the most forward thinking advertising agency I have experienced. Bob McKay's vision goes beyond marketing/advertising and is more about delivering business outcomes that are predictable and transparent. ROI Marketing! "Aakash Patel's Review Sourced from Google
