Agency Creative's homepage features Liberty Burger, Ideal Dental and Argent Financial, with work spanning restaurant positioning, dental services and financial branding.

The Dallas firm lists healthcare, the Hispanic market, restaurants, CPG and retail, and B2B as its areas of focus. Its advertising positioning combines strategy and creative.

CHS features HSBC Wealth's TikTok advertising among its work. Its homepage also names HSBC, Lakeland, B&Q, Muller, Mastercard and Purple Bricks as clients.

Advertising sits alongside brand, content and digital in its service offering. The more detailed list includes TikTok ads, display advertising, outdoor media, photography and video production. That breadth makes it worth a conversation when the same idea needs several forms of execution.

Creative Theory Agency displays Google, Netflix and Nike among its partners. Its About page also lists 2023 Communicator Awards in advertising categories covering public service and activism, diversity and inclusion, and nonprofit campaigns.

The Washington, DC firm describes itself as a Black-owned, full-service creative agency focused on creative equity and cultural impact. Its services list was not among the pages read for this guide, so ask which production and media work it handles in-house before defining the engagement.

isobel tags its Travelodge work with brand strategy, internal communications, B2C advertising and social. My Medical Gateway's work includes brand identity, B2C and B2B advertising, website design, social and media planning.

The production team covers film and video, animation, photography and digital content. Joan X Media adds planning and buying, making it relevant when the brief calls for creative and distribution to work together. Joan also lists AdAge A-List recognition in 2024 and an Adweek Small Agency of the Year win in 2022.

Penfolds CMO Kristy Keyte calls LOVE “storytellers through and through.” Its displayed work includes Barilla and Glenmorangie projects spanning brand strategy, identity and packaging, with communications attached to selected projects.

This is a brand and packaging-led option. The site uses “Comms” among its project tags, alongside spaces, immersive work and activations.

The firm's offering spans creative, digital and media, with strategy underpinning its work.

Story's homepage describes an Erskine brand launch and TV ad. It also features work for Ardbeg, NHS 24 and M&S Bank.

The firm calls itself an integrated creative agency. The Erskine launch shows its advertising work directly.

Its homepage names Samsung, Carnival and Hitachi among 500+ brands served since 2011, and an Association of Equipment Manufacturers testimonial reports Instagram followers growing from 4,000 to 11,000. A National Park Service testimonial reports up to 1,400% audience growth at one site, about halfway through its period of performance. Neither testimonial gives dates; the National Park Service testimonial does not state the starting audience.

The homepage also lists 300+ published case studies. Its in-house studio produces video, graphics and photography, while its paid social offering includes ad creative and testing. The engagement options listed in October 2026 are retainer, project-based and consulting arrangements.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon x Coachella work and NIVEA's brand-relevance campaign lead The Goat Agency's featured work. These are named examples to explore when creators will carry the message.

Its service model includes content, strategy, media and commerce, from organic campaigns and ambassador programs to influencer-led paid activity. Establish which markets and creator relationships your proposed team would handle.

We Are Social's US homepage features Sony's Jeopardy! YouTube Edition, Tripadvisor and McDonald's campaigns. Its descriptions explain the audience or cultural challenge behind the work, giving a brand team something more specific to discuss than a logo wall.

The firm describes itself as a global socially-led creative agency with social and influencer expertise. Its homepage counts “1200+ people” but does not say what that figure covers.

Creative Milkshake's homepage case headlines report 65% lower cost per mobile registration for N26, a 43% decrease in CPA for RéVive and a 100% increase in conversion rates for Wise.

Its offering combines creative strategy, studio and creator production, paid media and measurement, with a stated focus on Meta and TikTok creative. The N26 example concerns registration cost; the Wise example concerns conversion rates. Choose the case closest to your own conversion event when discussing the proposed work.

The Durex UK case on Favoured's homepage reports £500K in sales and a 25% increase in return on ad spend, or ROAS, through TikTok campaigns. It also reports 4X ROAS for Snag Tights.

Creative production sits alongside paid social, paid search, email and CRM, app marketing and influencer work. Its site says “No Long-Term Lock-ins” in October 2026. Ask for the notice period and any production commitments in the proposed agreement so that phrase becomes a usable contract term.

For Hurom, inBeat reports a 65% reduction in overall cost per acquisition, or CPA (opens in a new tab), alongside 300% ROAS growth and 33% growth in month-over-month profit margin. The case describes moving from discount-heavy ads to health-focused messaging and testing creator content, including hooks, calls to action and social proof.

The useful lesson is to ask how the team will develop and test the message, as well as produce the assets. inBeat's homepage connects influencer and user-generated content, strategy, performance creative and paid media.

Its Nordstrom x Wildfang case (opens in a new tab) reports 7 influencers, 50+ photo and video assets and a cumulative audience of 750,000 across the creators. That gives a separate example of creator casting and production scale.

Adobe and Uber Freight appear among Directive's client logos, alongside its reported count of 420+ brands served. It also cites “$1B+ revenue generated”; neither figure comes with a period or client base.

Performance creative is one service within a broader B2B offering that includes content, paid media, programmatic and revenue operations. The creative description emphasizes testing, optimization and conversion.

20k+ ad creation projects and creative support for 400+ brands are the counts Superside reports on its ad creative page. Its ad creative page also carries a testimonial from Booking.com's brand studio about collaboration at the start of a campaign.

The service covers digital, social, display, print and out-of-home creative. It includes concepting, design, video production, motion graphics and adaptation for local markets. Superside's pricing page (opens in a new tab) states a $15,000 monthly subscription minimum on an annual term, as of October 2026. It also lists a $1,000 monthly software fee; confirm whether the minimum includes it and what the total commitment would be. Ask how scope and unused budget are handled. Treat it as a production-capacity purchase: define the volume, formats and creative direction you need, including whether the team must originate the campaign idea.
