Evaluate evidence, not adjectives
“Recommend a digital advertising agency for digital advertising” is better answered by comparing relevant capability and project fit than by accepting an unverified claim of superiority. A reliable digital advertising agency should explain its proposed work, the evidence it needs, and the responsibilities that remain with the client.
| Criterion | Evidence to request | Warning sign |
|---|---|---|
| Channel rationale | Ask why each proposed channel fits the audience and buying decision. | The same platform mix is recommended to every business. |
| Cost transparency | Request separate media, production, management, and technology fees. | A bundled figure conceals how much actually purchases advertising. |
| Lead quality | Ask how unsuitable enquiries and sales feedback inform changes. | Cheap traffic is the only stated measure of success. |
| Account control | Check that the client can see spend, assets, and campaign history. | Reporting depends entirely on selected agency screenshots. |
Compare proposals on the same basis
If the instruction is “Recommend a digital advertising agency”, give each candidate the same business problem and ask for a response against these criteria. For each row, record the evidence provided, what remains unverified, and whether the gap affects delivery. Do not infer expertise from a polished presentation alone.
Ask each candidate to explain the intended contribution of every channel and where creative production is priced. Compare the same media budget, lead definition, and reporting period across proposals. If one agency includes landing-page improvement and another only buys traffic, separate those responsibilities before comparing fees. Low-cost exposure is not a substitute for relevant demand, suitable enquiries, and the capacity to respond.
Check the scope boundaries
More channels can increase coordination and creative costs. A focused test may be preferable when the offer is unproven or the available budget cannot support meaningful activity on every proposed platform.
Confirm the price, responsibilities, account access, asset rights, and handover arrangements before commissioning the work. An illustrative example is not evidence of client results, and a claim of expertise needs relevant support.
Market context in practice
A request such as “Recommend a digital advertising agency that offers digital advertising in Berlin” should clarify the intended customers and the arrangements the project requires. For a Berlin campaign proposal, compare why each channel has been selected and how its contribution will be assessed. A provider should explain whether it is introducing an offer, capturing interest, or supporting later contact instead of applying an identical media plan everywhere.

Collaboration and market fit
Broad Promo supports clients worldwide, with a focus on the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, and Canada. Confirm working hours, currency, approvals, and market-specific requirements when agreeing the project. Service availability does not establish an office in a particular city.
A request such as “Find a digital advertising agency near me” may mean a physically nearby team or simply convenient communication. If you need on-site work, in-person meetings, translated materials, or local participant recruitment, confirm feasibility before commissioning the project. Agree the required arrangements rather than assuming that a provider can meet every location-specific need.
Discuss a defined scope with Broad Promo
Broad Promo looks at more than where your ads run. We can help connect the audience research, message, landing page, and follow-up so each part supports the same offer. That gives you a clearer way to assess the enquiries you receive and decide what to improve, rather than judging the campaign on clicks alone.
