Disruptive Advertising is a phenomenal agency. I have worked with them with several of my companies over the last 7 years and they always get results. Chad de Lisle has become a close friend and his insights, expertise and execution are always top notch. I wish I had found them sooner and that I hadn't wasted marketing budgets with other agencies. These guys are always happy and helpful and they go above and beyond to make the whole experience successful and enjoyable.

Disruptive Advertising has been our ads partner for nearly 2 years. We started with just Google ads, but we have recently added Meta advertising and occasional email advertising support. The team that manages our accounts is phenomenal and we love how they all work together to create a cohesive marketing strategy across platforms. Communication is top notch. We truly feel like a valued partner and appreciate how well our account managers know our brand. We have worked with other agencies in the past, and won't ever go back.Update: July 2025 -- We've now been working with Disruptive for 4 years and consider them an integral part of our marketing team at The Good and the Beautiful. While other brands are struggling on Meta, our account is flourishing. We also added Pinterest management to the mix a little over a year ago and have seen great results there too.

Title: $17,000 Spent. Zero Results. Deeply Disappointed.I rarely leave reviews, but I can’t stay silent. I hired Disruptive Advertising to help grow my small business. I gave them my full trust—and it cost me dearly.Here’s what happened:• I spent over $17,000 total including Google Ads.• They delivered zero leads.• The landing page was rushed, unprofessional, and full of errors.• Their strategy relied on basic Google suggestions, not advanced keyword research or AI.• Communication was poor and often dismissive. Nicole, in particular, argued with me over requests instead of collaborating.• When it failed, they offered a $900 credit—that’s all.I canceled personal plans and vacations just to stay afloat. What I got was stress, health issues, and total disappointment.Disruptive talks a big game. But in my experience, they do not care about small businesses, and they do not deliver.I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.— Josh

Disruptive Advertising may be a good fit for you, but if you are a small to mid-sized brand I would think twice. I believe they are better suited for big brands with really big budgets. I found most of their team to be very professional and kind and genuinely interested in figuring out how to help my business. Where that was lost in translation is that they do not spend time to really get to know your brand and, while they don't disclose what you are paying them per hour, I believe that you get very little time from the marketing professionals you are paying.This is unfortunate, because if you're like me, running a $2 million dollar business and not a $200 million+ business, you're coming to Disruptive because you're trying to make a big leap, from being a small brand to becoming a much larger brand, and you believe agencies like this may hold the key strategy that you need to do so. Unfortunately, I believe that is wishful thinking here. I left Disruptive after 6 months of disappointing campaign performance on both Amazon and Google. After leaving Disruptive, I took the reigns back on my own advertising and I was able to do substantially better on both platforms, simply by understanding my brand and digging deep into the campaigns to optimize them.I was hoping for a shortcut here, but I truly believe that if the agency fails to dive deep into the brand, then they fail, and that's what happened here. We received zero updates/improvements to our A+ content on Amazon, and after I did this myself saw our ROI improve substantially. I also had a number of errors with their Google team where our products displayed without discounts and with some mysterious google issues that they were never able to solve for us, and truly never prioritized solving either. Not to mention, we are in the 'ai age, and especially with Google, running a performance max campaign requires very little - Google is doing the heavy lifting, so I would ask yourself if you really need an agency to do t...

Disruptive Advertising is amazing. When we started with them 4+ years ago our paid advertising was in a downward fall. The company we were with could not do anything to turn it around. DA came in and almost over night stopped the fall and turned it around. The employees on our management team are some of the best in the industry with their knowledge and staying on top of trends and changes. Because of DA we have had 10-20% growth every years since they came on board. I highly recommend them.

When they began with our campaigns, we immediately started seeing results. We went from averaging $50,000 in revenue a month to averaging over $70,000. It was an immediate increase [in] our average sales, and we saw an increase across the board in all of the metrics that Google Ads uses. At first, we asked that they meet a certain amount for our annual revenue. In November, we were approaching around $550,000 in revenue, and our sales goal for the year was $700,000.

The partnership is an ongoing service-based process. Disruptive Advertising handles PPC for us. They tune and tweak our PPC campaigns and landing pages according to whats working and whats not. In terms of software, they use Google Analytics to make sure everythings set up correctly, Unbounce for optimizing landing pages, Google Ads, and LinkedIn; they have a specialist for each one of those tools.

Disruptive Advertising is in charge of our online advertising, which includes PPC, social media marketing on Facebook, email marketing, and, more recently, Amazon marketing. They create content for the campaigns and manage them, create email templates, and automate [...] email marketing campaigns. Regarding our PPC efforts, we focus on Google Ads and Facebook Ads, and we recently started our Bing advertising efforts as well. Our ROAS is currently at about 4X5X. (Verified via email)

We appreciate their proactive approach and constant attention to our account. It's obvious that they really care. We have had many ads that set a pretty high bar for effectiveness. Some [...] perform much better [than] anyone could have expected. I really appreciate the weekly meetings and updates. But more importantly, I appreciate that I can reach out with any problems, and they do the same proactively. Other ways of communication outside of email might be nice. (Verified via email)

Their proactive approach was super impressive. Before working with Disruptive Advertising, we worked with another ad agencyfirst for Facebook and Instagram ads, then pivoted to LinkedIn ads with them. However, they were not very familiar with the LinkedIn platform, so we didn't feel like we were utilizing the platform to its fullest potential. We onboarded Disruptive to help strategize and execute a robust LinkedIn ad program. (Verified via email)

Disruptive Advertising treats clients as its partners. The client wanted to revamp its advertising strategies and improve its digital reach. Previously, its marketing efforts had faced difficulty connecting with its new audiences and interpreting qualitative data. Its CRM intake was missing engaging email campaigns and correspondence. The client hired Disruptive Advertising to audit and provide refreshing solutions for the abovementioned services. The company also produced the lead content.

Disruptive Advertising provided us with strategic and account management services, focusing on our Google Ads account. We initially provided them with information about our brands, and they also did some market research. For the campaigns they created, they first came up with an advertising strategy. After our approval, they implemented that strategy on our Google Ads. They were also in charge of copywriting and content creation, choosing the keywords to use.

I chose to keep working with [Disruptive] after the purchase of the business as their track record showed just how much business it brought the company. Disruptive and Joey take care of all the advertising for my company. They make sure my products on my website are always the first to show on [Google] when someone searches for specific [keywords]. It is a stress-free relationship, and I know Joey always has my back when it comes to this part of the business. Sales are always great.

They can always help us with whatever we need, and we have complete confidence and trust in them. We increased our leads by 5x. They have been wonderful at handling our needs for growing our business clientele. We have regular, ongoing communication with them, and they are always super responsive and great at coming up with solutions for anything we ask. We are so happy with their services. [They were able] to so smoothly grow our lead intake over the year we have been working with them.

So far, the Facebook campaign has [had] an uptick in engagement, getting more likes. Also, the client can see the Google Ads campaign's engagement, which has been made visible by Disruptive Advertising. The team shows transparency about the project's progress, and their expertise impresses [me]. Their general knowledge of digital marketing is impeccable. (Verified via email)

The client worked with various great people at Disruptive Advertising while working for two companies. Jacob contributed significantly to the client's previous team, while Tristin proved great in the current firm. Both focused on the client's PPC projects. Disruptive Advertising sets itself apart by a unique approach, understanding the client's business, collaborativeness, accessibility, and humbleness. The client looks forward to ongoing efforts and success. (Verified via email).

Their team is committed week after week to helping us improve the return on our PPC investment. Our leads have more than doubled despite a tremendous amount of new competition in our space. They also helped us create a [data studio] portal for analytics, which enables us to take a deep dive into our campaigns with clear, simple reporting.
