8am brought on Disruptive to support our SEM programs and help us scale and grow our campaigns. For this engagement, Disruptive managed our Google and Microsoft Ad campaigns and provided support in the following: Bid strategy optimization and budget management Ad copy and landing page recommendations Keyword research and management Campaign testing to drive incremental MQL/SQL growth Ongoing monthly strategy and performance reporting

Our Disruptive reps helped us drive growth (MQLs and SQLs) in our Paid Search programs (Google and Microsoft Ads) across all ad accounts. Through their expertise and strategic recommendations, the team ensured we consistently paced within our desired budget, drove measurable outcomes by growing our MQLs and SQLs while maintaining strong efficiency, and continually provided campaign testing ideas to further improve performance.

Kaden, Jacob, and Madison did a great job staying on top of their assigned tasks and were very communicative in Slack, sharing status updates on task progress. They consistently completed tasks in a timely fashion and shared results with us during our weekly syncs.

I really enjoyed working with our assigned team - they were excellent and truly felt like an extension of our team.

We needed help with our Meta and Google ads strategy and management.

Disruptive Advertising helped us with our Meta and Google PPC ads strategy. Their work included ad creative and lifecycle management, focusing on strategy, visuals, and copy. The project had three phases: correcting our prior agency's mess, developing our Meta and Google PPC ad strategy and executing it, and measuring, monitoring, testing, and refining the strategy.

We worked with 5–6 teammates from Disruptive Advertising.

We found them through Clutch. We chose them because they demonstrated a solid understanding of Meta and Google ads strategy and management. We had been working with another agency that was sorely deficient in these areas, and Disruptive Advertising was able to look under the hood, identify our issues, and make recommendations for both a rapid fix and a longer-term strategic plan. They were also attentive and took the time to understand our hyper-niche business.

We started working together in January 2025. The project just ended in September 2025, but only because our market is experiencing a level 10 disruption. Our market's budgets are being cut, so while Disruptive Advertising's work was outstanding, it was like pushing a rock up a hill. All the qualified leads in the world didn't make a difference if they didn't have the budget to purchase our programs. We paused the project for the moment, but we'll resume working with Disruptive Advertising when the market opens up.

Disruptive Advertising's work resulted in an increased qualified lead volume and more demos with sales teams. They lowered our CPL by 38%. We used to spend 3–4 times as much to produce much worse results. This savings allowed us to continue marketing in a down market for us. Disruptive Advertising literally maximized our limited ad spend. Our reps even commented on the significant improvement in lead quality.

Disruptive Advertising always delivered on time. They were attentive and professional. We communicated via email and biweekly status Zoom calls.

Disruptive Advertising's understanding of Meta and Google strategy was impressive.

There's nothing they could have done better or differently.

What impressed me about Disruptive Advertising was their deep analytical expertise and proactive, strategic guidance that consistently drove measurable growth for our brand.

None — our experience with Disruptive Advertising has been consistently positive, and we have no suggested areas for improvement at this time.

The primary objective was to take an existing set of campaigns on google ads and increase profitability / reduce marketing cost. Secondarily we wanted to start advertising many new brands that were not already being advertised.

Increased ROAS.

The project was managed by a communicative project manager; however, very little actual work was done. The proof was in the changelog, where almost no changes were made by their team.

High ratings on clutch.co and they also told us they managed a similar large company in a different country but we now suspect this was misleading if not outright lying.

Where do I begin. In short, Disruptive did not deliver. I suspect most of their high ratings are for small companies with small budgets because they went backward with our 6 figure marketing budget and really had no idea how to produce positive results. Our marketing costs went up, not down.

Disruptive has led strategy on recruiting and other lead generation activities through google, facebook and other advertising platforms using our won data to fuel decision making and adjustments for key deliverables while trying to keep our ad cost as low as reasonable while delivering quality leads.

The Disruptive Team is always responsive, curious and driven to deliver results. Every meeting we have had we have had an agenda, talking points and metrics on campaign status with questions on areas of improvement through data and experience with actual leads beyond CPA's like did we hire any of our recruits from lead gen etc.

I was impressed with their customer service and delivery of results. This combination is priceless. Seems simple yet so many agencies miss the mark here.

I actually think they do a pretty good job, sometimes they can get a bit technical and we need to ask for the laymens terms of their back end work.
