Public Relations Review from Emily Pearce
This agency was only used for a short period. A pleasant and responsive team but not quite as strong on strategy, C-Suite engagement/interviewing or ensuring our organisation provided enough information to achieve the best results.
Christine Quarte's Review Sourced from Google
I had the pleasure of partnering with Media FRENZY to help with brand repositioning and strategic work, and the experience was phenomenal. They were truly amazing partners—strategic, creative, and always willing to push us when needed. Their in-depth process ensured every detail was addressed, and they remained open to discussions, feedback, and exploring new concepts with us.Media FRENZY consistently brought fresh ideas to the table, showcasing their ability to think outside the box while keeping our goals at the forefront. Their collaborative approach and dedication made them excellent partners throughout the journey. Sarah, Dave and team were professional, collaborative and quite frankly, a FUN team to partner with. If you're looking for a marketing agency that combines strategy with creativity and genuinely listens to your needs, I absolutely recommend Media FRENZY.

Barry is just an absolute pleasure to work with. He quickly puts you at ease when you’re conversing with him about what you’re hoping to accomplish for your business/website. Since I started working with him in March, he helped me optimize my website and web presence from an SEO perspective that has resulted in a considerable increase in leads/clients. I strongly recommend Barry as someone who will work his tail off to help you grow your business. He brings an incredible depth of knowledge to the table and produces real results. Five stars.
Kelby Derenick's Review Sourced from Google
I highly recommend Barry for whatever digital marketing needs your business requires. I had no idea how to navigate a digital presence to reach more clients but Barry was able to take the reins and assist me through the entire process. His expertise will certainly help any business get up and running or help an established business grow in the digital world. I will most certainly continue to use The Bear Consulting Firm in the years ahead and I recommend other businesses do the same!

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.
Candice Puzak's Review Sourced from Google
We've been working with Ethic for about a year and a half, using various forms of online advertising and strategy. They have been great partners - always quick to respond, thorough in their approach and knowledgeable in the ever changing digital ad space. Their ability to scale their services to fit our needs and budget has been extremely beneficial as well. We highly recommend Ethic to anyone looking for a quality digital partner.

Jay James's Review Sourced from Google
Apologies for grammar but had to get this one off my chest. Wow yeah to the post above about click depot selling your data to spammers and scammers that I can confirm. I own an exterior house cleaning biz and it’s it’s been crickets for literally 6 months because they don’t know how to do their job. Oh and Being a customer for over 5 years btw and Lookin at them as a great company until they started to having people work for them that clearly have no idea what they are doing. What an idiot I was thinkin I could trust them again. So Back in Nov last year they had the wrong email address linked to my website for the estimate requests that I missed out on for over 3 months.after talking with them about tryin to get the scammers and spam requested removed from my estimate request link that was my bread and butter to my website for customers to get hold of me was completely ruined. Lost tons of clients. By the way. Ruined my reputation, I politely Asked them to fix it months ago and they told me they did well well well. Months later and remember this nonsense started in Nov of 23 still going to this day. It’s a damn good thing I do good work and have my regular clients that I appreciate and kept me afloat during this shizzz storm of a year that could’ve been completed avoided. Also I was thinkin it was slow biz time but nope they drop the ball on that. Didn’t even send over the requests that were submitted and missed out on because they weren’t being sent to me. I’ve paid these people a good amount of money. Trust me and been super patient. I call in with a complaint because well i mean how can you not…. I mean all I can do is complain at this point in time. And trust me they didn’t get me rich been beans and rice over here. So yeah If your looking to get screwed over after years of biz and sell your data and I’m sure my customers data to scammers. Yeah look no further. Call the click depot. Yeah I didn’t give you 500$ a month for like 3 years for you to sell my data.
Chandler Harry's Review Sourced from Google
If I could give 0 stars I would. Initially was in contact with Neil who claims to be the owner of the business. I was then told with the new website and the ad services that I could expect to see 5-10x the amount of customers I currently had. After almost a year of using Click Depot I have received 0 new customers. None. The project manager that was assigned to me, Heather, called me once and then never returned phone calls after that. I tried calling Neil twice in the fall and didn’t get an answer either time. After 6 months of no contact from anybody at all from the company I assumed I had been tricked by a fake company and took responsibility for that. However today Neil decided to call me and say there was an issue with ad service billing. 6 months since last contact and I get a call trying to act like he had no idea what was going on with anything. Heather had apparently been let go because of things similar to my own situation and nobody decided to ever call to continue working with me in my own project. Would run as far away from Neil and this company as possible. They didn’t do a single thing they promised they would do. Website still isn’t complete. Still has bugs and errors. No customers have come in from website or Google ads. 0. None. Terribly managed company that lies to customers to get their money.

I own a contracting firm and highly recommend Click Depot for your business. They care about their clients are pleasant to work with and have done a great job for me and my business. As a small business owner I know it’s very hard to find an SEO company who you trust and will get you the results you desire. We went through three other SEO companies before settling with Click Depot. I highly recommend using them.

Rob Reynolds's Review Sourced from Google
Excellent company. Very insightful in regards to understanding your business and the marketing approach you would like to take. Keep up the great work guys!
A social media marketing company can help you turn audience engagement into brand awareness, qualified leads, sales, and customer loyalty.
They achieve this by developing data-backed strategies, producing brand-aligned, channel-optimized content, practicing social listening, and actively managing social media communities.
Social media marketing agencies can also help you expand brand reach and establish credibility through strategic partnerships with relevant influencers and creators.
All of these can result in measurable business value.
According to the Rise at Seven study, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram collectively account for 60% of commercial intent keywords, whereas Google only captures 34.5%.
This data highlights that customers are increasingly turning to social media to search for products and brands.
SproutSocial also found that 81% of consumers are compelled to make multiple purchases a year due to social media. Additionally, 73% are more likely to buy from a competitor if a brand does not reply to their social media messages.
Social media marketing costs start at $5,000 for small businesses implementing a single-platform social media strategy. However, prices can exceed $20,000 for a global multi-platform campaign with paid ad strategies.
The actual cost of social media services will depend on your goals, content type and volume, target platforms, and campaign complexity.
For instance, a social SEO strategy generally costs less than an influencer campaign due to talent fee considerations.
However, social media marketing companies often package their services for a more comprehensive offering. Below are approximate prices:
| Average Hourly Rates | Monthly Retainer | |
| Boutique agencies | $100-$125 | $5,000-$10,000 |
| Mid-sized agencies | $125-$175 | $10,000-$20,000 |
| Enterprise/global agencies | $175-$200+ | $20,000-$100,000+ |
Follow these steps to choose a social media marketing agency that is experienced, reliable, and the right fit for your business:
Before hiring a social media marketing agency, ask these questions to assess its experience, process, and fit for your goals, audience, and target platforms:
Watch for these red flags when evaluating a social media marketing agency. They may signal a poor fit, weak execution, or practices that could damage your brand reputation over time.
Rated 4.8 on Google and 4.7 on Trustpilot, DesignRush Agency Directory is a reliable resource for finding social media marketing agencies. We owe this to our executive selection team, which follows a strict screening process when featuring agencies on the platform, assessing key performance indicators, like portfolio, client reviews, and industry reputation.
DesignRush sustains a directory of over 40,000 agencies categorized by service category, location, expertise, and reviews. We build our database in two ways:
Agencies can also reach out to DesignRush and must go through the verification process prior to being listed.
Social media marketing companies provide a comprehensive range of services that span strategy development, content creation, and optimization. Here are some of their core services:
Some companies also offer broader digital marketing services, including search engine optimization (SEO), paid media, email marketing, video marketing, public relations (PR), and landing page optimization.
For business-to-business (B2B) organizations, LinkedIn is often a top priority, while X may also be useful, depending on your industry and whether real-time conversations matter to your brand.
For business-to-consumer (B2C) brands targeting younger consumers, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok are often stronger options.
According to the Pew Research Center, 95% of 18-29-year-olds use YouTube, followed by Instagram at 80% and TikTok at 63%.
A reputable social media marketing company should recommend a channel mix based on your goals, target audience behavior, and the type of content you can produce consistently.
Partner with a content creator for asset creation. Conversely, choose an influencer for the audience. Here are more details about the differences between each to help you with your decision:
| Content Creator | Influencer | |
| Who are they? | Experts in their specific field who create engaging and educational content for a specific topic, niche, or format | Individuals with an established audience who can shape opinions and promote brands, products, or ideas |
| Content examples |

To measure the return on investment of your social media efforts, first clarify the business outcome you want to achieve with your social media campaign. For example, generating leads, sales, or demo requests.
Next, track key performance indicators (KPIs) tied to that goal, such as engagement rate, click-through rate, conversion rate, cost per lead, and return on ad spend (ROAS). Use attribution models, analytics tools, and UTM parameters to connect social activities to business results.
Industry benchmarks can provide helpful context, but they vary by platform, industry, and methodology. Here are benchmarks from an Emplifi research report to help you gauge campaign performance:
Paid social campaigns generate results within a few days or weeks, but organic social media may take at least 3 months.
For organic social media, you might see initial follower growth and engagement within the first few weeks of regular posting. After 1-3 months, your account may gain traction as content performance improves, and audience engagement becomes more consistent.
By months 3-6, you may start producing qualified leads, stronger brand recall, and sales impact, especially for newer brands that are still building and refining their strategies.
Paid media campaigns, by contrast, can generate visibility, traffic, and conversions within days or weeks, but long-term performance will depend on creative quality, targeting, budget, and optimization efforts.
Ultimately, the time required to see meaningful results depends on your brand awareness, content quality, posting consistency, audience targeting, offer strength, and your broader marketing strategy.
We have curated a list of top social media companies on DesignRush across multiple price points, so you can identify a vendor within your budget.
| High budget: $50,000+ |
|
| Low budget: $25,000-$50,000 |
