Still Have Questions?
What types of businesses and organizations do you work with?
We work with a diverse set of clients—from mid-sized businesses to universities to global corporations—all looking to connect with target audiences in a research-based sales cycle or enrollment funnel.
We’ve built our team and processes to adapt to the specific needs of individual clients and projects, but we provide the most value to groups looking for an ongoing strategic partnership with a digital marketing agency.
To see examples of our client successes across multiple industries, explore our work section. While doing so, keep in mind that there are certain client stories—particularly within higher education—that we can’t share.
Which digital advertising channels are included in the audit?
The specific paid digital channels included in our audit depend on the unique characteristics of our individual clients.
We do, however, have substantial experience across all of these ad platforms:
- Google Search/Display Ads
- LinkedIn Ads
- YouTube Ads
- Meta/Facebook/Instagram Ads
- Microsoft Ads
- Snapchat Ads
- TikTok Ads
- CTV/OTT Ads
- Spotify Ads
- Additional Programmatic Display/Audio Ads
We also evaluate channel mix as part of our audit process. As a result, we may recommend new paid advertising campaigns on platforms you’re not currently using.
Do you offer the audit as a stand-alone service?
We do. Some companies and institutions have internal digital marketing management resources, but they need an outside perspective to get their campaigns on the right track. For these teams, our audit can identify gaps and opportunities in an existing digital advertising strategy.
We can also conduct an audit as a way of sharing our thinking and building a relationship before moving into an ongoing partnership. We understand that digital marketing is a significant investment, and we want our clients to feel comfortable with our team before starting a contract.
If you’re interested in a stand-alone audit, or you’d like to discuss different options, let us know in the form below.
Can the digital advertising audit be customized to our needs?
Absolutely. We understand that every client and situation is unique. We tailor our audits to align with our clients’ needs.
For some, that may mean focusing exclusively on paid search campaigns in Google Ads. Others may require a more holistic approach that encompasses paid search, paid social, display ads, and more.
We also offer a comprehensive digital marketing audit for teams looking for help across their entire digital marketing strategy.
Tell us about your goals and current digital efforts in the form below, and we’ll work with you to create an audit approach that works for your business, organization, or institution.
What happens at the conclusion of the audit process?
That depends. Our audits contain detailed insights, context, and recommendations so internal marketing teams can implement the necessary updates themselves.
With that said, many clients decide they want extra assistance and choose to partner with our team for ongoing campaign management and analytics services.
While our preference is always to establish long-term partnerships with clients, our audit goal is to provide clients with valuable information to inform their strategy and direction.
