Forge Apollo Reviews & Testimonials
Video Marketing Review from Scott Lepkofker
We've been partners with Forge Apollo for nearly three years, and they have been an incredible extension of our team. From incredible creative and high-quality production to pitch development, thought leadership, and strategic introductions, they consistently bring a level of expertise, creativity, and commitment that is hard to find in a partner. What I appreciate most is that they genuinely operate like a partner rather than a vendor. They take the time to understand our business, our clients, and what were trying to accomplish, and they are always willing to go the extra mile to help us succeed. Their creative work is consistently impressive, and their production capabilities allow us to bring big ideas to life at a very high level. They also have some impressive proprietary technology that gives them a unique point of differentiation and adds another layer of value to what they bring to the table. Ryan Holloway, the CEO, deserves a special mention. He is extremely hands-on and engaged, and I never feel like Im being passed off to someone else once the relationship is established. Ryan is accessible, thoughtful, and personally invested in the success of our partnership. Over the past three years, Forge Apollo has helped us elevate our pitches, strengthen our thought leadership, expand our network, and ultimately present a stronger version of our business to the market. Theyre the type of partner that rolls up their sleeves, gets in the trenches with you, and genuinely cares about the outcome. I would highly recommend Forge Apollo to any organization looking for a creative partner that brings together great people, incredible creative, strong production, and innovative technology.
Video Marketing Review from Jessica Farren
I cannot say enough good things about this company. Had a great experience working with them on several projects for our company, ASD, this year. As a funeral home answering service, we needed to take our marketing to the next level in a way that not only showcased our company's innovation but also exemplified our client-centric approach to business. Forge Apollo not only met but exceeded our expectations, delivering a website that perfectly encapsulates our values. Their attention to detail, creativity, and commitment to understanding our unique needs made the entire process seamless. Additionally, Forge Apollo showcased their prowess in video marketing by creating captivating videos for ASD. These videos highlighted our company's comprehensive solutions and featured insightful interviews with current clients and heartfelt conversations with our staff. The team at Forge Apollo proved to be a pleasure to work with, demonstrating a perfect blend of professionalism and creativity. Their responsiveness to client needs and ability to execute on diverse goals make them an invaluable partner. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Forge Apollo to anyone seeking a dedicated and talented team for their web design and marketing needs.
Video Production Review from Rachel Notowich
I have had the pleasure of working with Forge Apollo Studio on a variety of projects over the past five years, and they truly are the best. Their team consistently delivers exceptional content, communicates seamlessly throughout the process, and goes above and beyond expectations every time. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier video production or creative content support.

Video Marketing Agency FAQs
What is a video marketing agency?
A video marketing agency is a company that creates and promotes video content to help businesses reach their audiences. It handles everything from strategy and scripting to filming, editing, and distribution, ensuring videos are tailored to specific business goals.
Unlike general marketing agencies, video marketing companies use only video as a tool for brand awareness, engagement, and sales. They combine creative storytelling with data-driven tactics to produce content that connects with viewers and delivers measurable results.
How do video marketing agencies help businesses boost engagement and conversions?
Video marketing agencies boost engagement and conversions by turning complex ideas into simple, memorable visuals. People are more likely to watch a short video than read a long block of text, and strong visuals help businesses capture attention quickly. Videos also create an emotional connection, making brands feel more relatable and trustworthy.
On the conversion side, agencies use video to guide viewers toward action, whether it’s clicking a link, signing up, or buying a product. By combining storytelling, clear messaging, and smart placement across platforms, they keep audiences engaged and move them smoothly through the sales funnel.
Which businesses benefit most from professional video marketing?
Any business that needs to explain complex products, build brand awareness, or connect emotionally with its audience can benefit from professional video marketing. For example:
- E-commerce and retail to showcase products through ads, demos, and tutorials
- Technology companies to explain complex software or services
- Healthcare to build trust with patient education and awareness videos
- Education and training to deliver online courses, webinars, and explainer content
- Real estate and hospitality to highlight properties, tours, and guest experiences
- Professional services to share testimonials, case studies, and brand storytelling
What are the top-rated video marketing agencies on DesignRush in 2025?
The top-rated video marketing agencies on DesignRush in 2025 are:
What core and specialized video marketing services do these agencies provide?
Core services video marketing agencies provide include:
- Video strategy and campaign planning
- Scriptwriting and storyboarding
- Filming and production
- Editing and post-production
- Video distribution across platforms
Specialized services encompass:
- Animation and motion graphics
- 360° and virtual reality video production
- Live streaming and webinar support
- Video SEO and analytics tracking
- Personalized or interactive video experiences
How much do video marketing services cost in 2025?
In 2025, video marketing services generally cost between $2,000 and $50,000 per project, depending on scope and quality. Short, simple promotional videos sit at the lower end, while long-form explainers, high-end commercials, or animations with special effects push toward the top of the range.
Prices vary based on:
- Production quality: Animation, live-action, post-production work
- Video length and complexity: Short promos vs. detailed explainers
- Talent and equipment: Hiring actors, voice-overs, or using top-tier gear
How long does it take to see ROI from video marketing campaigns?
It typically takes 3–6 months to see measurable ROI from video marketing. Paid ad campaigns can deliver results in days or weeks, while organic strategies like YouTube SEO or brand storytelling need more time to build momentum.
The timeline depends on campaign goals, industry competition, and content type. Short-form ads bring faster engagement, while long-form or high-production videos pay off gradually. ROI also improves with clear objectives, proper distribution, and ongoing optimization.
What should you look for when hiring a video marketing agency?
When hiring a video marketing agency, look for a partner that can craft compelling videos while also making sure they align with your business goals. Pay attention to:
- Strong portfolio with proven results in your industry
- Clear process for strategy, production, and distribution
- Transparent pricing and deliverables
- Knowledge of current video trends and platforms
- Positive client reviews and case studies
- Ability to measure ROI with analytics and reporting
What red flags indicate that a video marketing agency may not be the right partner?
Red flags that indicate that a video marketing agency may not be the right partner include:
- No clear portfolio or examples of past work
- Vague pricing with hidden costs
- Overpromising quick results or viral success
- Weak communication or slow response times
- Little understanding of your industry or goals
- Lack of data-driven reporting or ROI tracking
What key questions should you ask before signing a video marketing contract?
Key questions you should ask before signing a video marketing contract include:
- What’s included in the package, and what counts as extra?
- How do you measure success and report ROI?
- What platforms will you target for distribution?
- How do you handle revisions and feedback?
- What’s the typical timeline for production and delivery?
- Who owns the final video assets once the project is complete?
How does video marketing differ from traditional advertising or content marketing?
Video marketing differs from traditional advertising because it’s designed for digital platforms where audiences expect interactive, on-demand content. Instead of one-way messages like TV or print ads, video marketing encourages engagement through shares, comments, and targeted distribution across social media, websites, and email.
Compared to content marketing, which often relies on blogs, guides, or infographics, video delivers the same information in a faster, more visual format. It’s more effective at holding attention and building emotional connections, which helps drive higher engagement and conversions.
Which tools, editing software, and distribution platforms do top video marketing agencies use?
Top video marketing agencies use:
- Editing software: Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects (for motion graphics)
- Collaboration & asset tools: Frame.io, Wipster, Dropbox, Google Drive
- Animation tools: Blender, Cinema 4D, Maya, Adobe Animate
- Analytics & optimization: Google Analytics, TubeBuddy, VidIQ, HubSpot video analytics
- Distribution platforms: YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook Ads Manager, Google Ads Video Campaigns
How legitimate is the content in the FAQs?
Our goal is to provide accurate and useful information to both businesses and agencies, which is why we partnered with Mike Melen, co-founder of digital marketing agency SmartSites. He shared insights on video production workflows and how to create compelling content that inspires action.
As a young entrepreneur, Mike Melen sold his first company at 19 years old. He has since led SmartSites, which has garnered eight Inc. 5000 recognitions and more than 1,000 5-star reviews. Melen’s work in the marketing field has also received honorable mentions from Forbes, AdWeek, and Inc. Magazine.
